Live Your Best Midlife

The Sugar Trap: Why Midlife Women Crave Sweets (and How to Finally Stop)


Listen Later

If you’ve ever wondered why you can be “good” all day and still end up in the pantry at 9 p.m., this episode will finally make it make sense. Sugar cravings in midlife aren’t about weak willpower — they’re about hormones, stress and blood sugar imbalance.

In this eye-opening episode, I explain how falling estrogen levels make insulin less effective, why cortisol and stress send you running for sugar, and how that innocent morning latte and granola bar can kick off an all-day craving cycle. You’ll learn what really happens inside your body when you eat carbs like pasta or pizza, why protein and fiber are your secret weapons, and how sleep, herbs, and smart swaps can help you regain control.

I also share my experience completing the FASTer Way 10-Day Detox — including how avoiding alcohol and stabilizing blood sugar led to deeper sleep, more energy, and zero cravings by the end.

If you’re ready to stop feeling controlled by sugar and start feeling balanced and energized again, this episode will show you exactly how to get there.
