Listen Later

Hate to break it to you ladies… but once you hit your 40s, you just can't eat and live the way you did in your 20s and 30s. 

Everything changes. 

Instead of focusing on weight loss, we need to meet our bodies where they’re at and turn the focus on metabolic health and strength. 

One of the best ways to feel healthier in your changing body is through fasting.  

Functional medicine expert Dr. Tabatha Barber joins me today to explain how fasting is the key to optimal health in your 40s and beyond. 

In this podcast, we cover it ALL– from common struggles in menopause, hormone replacement therapies, what to look for in your labs, and what you can start NOW to feel your best in your body! 

Learn all about it here, and give yourself and your metabolism what it needs to thrive!
