Tired, hungry, and struggling with stubborn belly fat? It’s not just hormones—it might be your blood sugar. In this episode, I’m joined by health coach Jenn Trepeck to break down the real reasons behind the infamous meno belly. We dive into why women in perimenopause and postmenopause are more prone to blood sugar imbalances, how insulin resistance sneaks up on you, and what to do today to stabilize your energy, mood, and metabolism. Plus, Jenn busts the myth that weight gain is about overeating—it might be the opposite.

We cover: ✔️ Signs your blood sugar is out of balance ✔️ Why undereating could be fueling weight gain ✔️ How to eat without fear ✔️ 3 simple blood sugar hacks for midlife women

Jenn Trepeck is a health coach who’s been helping women navigate nutrition, habits, and sustainable wellness for over 17 years. She’s also the host of the long-running podcast, Salad with a Side of Fries.​

Jenn is all about real life—no extremes, no shame, and definitely no giving up your favorite foods. Her style is smart, practical, and totally empowering for women, especially as we’re navigating the hormonal chaos of perimenopause and postmenopause.
