Listen Later

If you’ve been feeling like your body is changing overnight… weight gain that doesn’t make sense, energy crashes, or constant hunger, you are not imagining it.

In today’s episode, I’m breaking down one of the most misunderstood (and overlooked) drivers of midlife weight gain.

Whether you’re approaching perimenopause, currently in it, or already in menopause, this is information you need to understand what’s actually happening inside your body and more importantly, what you can do about it

Tune in to hear:

  •  What insulin resistance actually is (and why it exists on a spectrum) 
  •  Why perimenopause and menopause increase your risk 
  •  The connection between blood sugar, fat storage, and weight gain 
  •  How high-carb eating patterns over time impact your metabolism 
  •  The surprising role stress plays in blood sugar and insulin levels 
  •  Key signs of insulin resistance most women overlook 
  •  The difference between fasting glucose vs. fasting insulin (and why it matters) 
  •  How muscle mass directly impacts your ability to process carbs 
  •  Why strength training is non-negotiable in midlife 
  •  Simple lifestyle shifts to start reversing insulin resistance
