4: Habits vs. Hormones: What’s Really Driving Your Midlife Weight Changes?

If you’re eating the way you always have and still getting your workouts in, but your clothes fit differently and you can’t figure out why, this episode is for you. I take on habits vs. hormones and show you how to look at both without blaming yourself. I start with one rough night of sleep and follow it into the next day, then cover what research says about midlife body composition and how to build a plan that holds up on a difficult day. If weight gain and hormones or sleep problems in perimenopause have been on your mind, you’ll leave with a clear place to start this week.
