If you keep blaming yourself for sugar cravings, afternoon crashes, or late-night snacking — this episode is your wake-up call. Menopause changes how your body handles stress, blood sugar, and hunger signals, and no amount of "willpower" can outsmart cortisol.

In this episode, Cindi breaks down the real science behind stress-induced cravings and shows you how to stabilize your energy, calm your nervous system, and stop feeling out of control around food. You'll learn why stress and cortisol are the missing pieces behind constant hunger, energy dips, and stubborn belly fat — and the small, doable habits that finally make your hormones work with you instead of against you.

You'll learn:

  • Why cortisol spikes make cravings feel uncontrollable

  • How stress and menopause hormones team up to wreck blood-sugar balance

  • The stress-snack cycle (and how to finally break it)

  • 5 simple habits that calm cortisol and stop cravings naturally
