You’ve been told to “just listen to your body”…But what if your body is sending mixed signals because your hormones are out of sync?
In this episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on the intuitive eating trend—and why it often backfires for women over 40. If you're gaining weight, always bloated, or constantly craving sugar even when you're “doing everything right,” this episode is your wake-up call.
We'll break down:
⚠️ Why intuitive eating doesn’t work when your metabolism is dysregulated
🧠 How stress, low protein, poor sleep, and blood sugar swings hijack your hunger cues
🔁 Why “honoring your cravings” can become a trap when leptin and cortisol are off
🔍 The missing piece intuitive eating ignores: your biology is not the same at 45 as it was at 25
✅ What to do instead if you want food freedom and fat loss in midlife
You’re not broken. But your intuition might be misfiring—and this episode will show you how to take back control.
