Is your waistline creeping up, energy crashing by mid-afternoon, and nothing new has really changed? You’re not imagining it—after 40, your metabolism really does shift. But it’s not “broken,” and you don’t need another restrictive diet to fix it.
In this episode, I’m breaking down 3 surprising reasons your metabolism slows after 40—and the one simple fix you can start today for each one. We’ll talk about how mineral depletion impacts hormones and cravings, how stress and cortisol can lead to insulin resistance and belly fat, and why muscle loss makes weight loss harder (even if you’re exercising).
By the end, you’ll know how to: ✅ Reset minerals + electrolytes to fuel energy and metabolism ✅ Rebalance meal timing to lower cortisol and improve insulin sensitivity ✅ Build muscle and movement into your day so your metabolism burns stronger, 24/7
If you’re tired of guessing, this episode will show you how to work with your metabolism, not against it—so you can feel energized, reduce cravings, and finally see progress in your 40s, 50s, and beyond.
