If you’ve ever said, “I used to cut back on food and the weight came off… but now nothing works,” you’re not alone. Midlife hormones change how our bodies use food — and old diet rules stop working.

In this episode of More Than Hormones, I share why calorie-cutting backfires in menopause, what your hormones really need, and how to use food as fuel for energy, mood, and strength. You’ll hear practical tips, a “day on a plate” example, and a simple ritual you can start today to feel more balanced and nourished.
