Liz Wolfe has been in the nutrition and wellness space almost as long as I have, so it's hard to believe our paths haven't really crossed until now! This in-depth conversation is a paradigm shift from how we often think about metabolism, which is basically just about calorie burning and boosting. Metabolism—especially at midlife-ish—is about so much more and (news alert!) most of what we've read and been fed about metabolism and aging is either wrong or misunderstood. We also get into what Liz describes as her "intentional weight loss" with peptides (and the backlash) and much more.
Among the Questions Explored:
- Why is hunger a good thing and what does it say about your metabolism?
- Why does it feel like it our metabolism slows down as we age, even though current metabolic science says it doesn’t really change from 20-60?
- Why are muscle and protein so crucial to our metabolic health as we age?
- What does Liz really want people to understand about metabolism as we age?
Top Questions from Insatiable Listeners (and being searched):
- Is there any way to “reset” my metabolism?
- What is Liz's #1 tip to increase metabolism over 40?
- What’s one food I should consider adding to my diet boost my metabolism?
- Top recommendations for strength training after 40?

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
