730: The Metabolic Shift After 40: What’s Really Driving Weight, Energy & Mood Changes

Midlife is the time to measure, understand your body, and take proactive steps to support your future self. In this episode, I’m diving into the massive metabolic shift that happens during perimenopause—and why this stage of life is the perfect time to build true metabolic resilience. We explore how metabolism doesn’t respond to punishment or extremes, but instead thrives on consistent biological rhythms and supportive daily signals. Even small, simple habits can create powerful changes when practiced consistently. Because over time, these small shifts can stabilize energy, reduce inflammation, and help eliminate those frustrating crashes. If you’re ready to feel deeply supported in midlife, this episode will give you the roadmap to start today!
