Do you think eating less is the secret to midlife weight loss? Think again. In this episode, I’m diving into the real reason your old diet tricks aren’t working anymore—and it’s not your age, it’s your biology.
From protein deficiency and muscle loss to night sweats, poor sleep, and bloating—you’ll learn how your body’s needs shift during perimenopause, and why eating more (yes, more!) of the right nutrients is key to healing hormones and restoring energy.
I’ll also walk you through:
The link between low protein and anxiety, insomnia, and insulin resistance
How muscle mass affects metabolism, sleep, and fat loss
Why scale weight is lying to you (and what actually matters)
My favorite protein-packed night snack to reduce night sweats
How to start syncing your diet with your midlife body—and stop working against it
Plus, I’m giving you my FREE Protein Guide to help you build your plate for better hormones, better energy, and better results. Grab it here: go.deeprootedwellnessid.com/protein
And if you’re ready to stop the cycle of burnout, bloat, and hormone chaos, my 90-Day Functional Bloodwork Program is open now.
This episode is your sign to ditch restriction—and finally start nourishing the body you're in.
