78. Undereating After 40: The #1 Habit Wrecking Your Hormones & Metabolism

Discover why undereating after 40 wrecks your hormones, thyroid, and metabolism—and how to finally fuel your body for better energy, sleep, and mood.

Are you undereating without even realizing it? In this episode of Perimenopause Simplified, Claudia gets real about one of the most common habits sabotaging women’s health after 40. If you’ve been struggling with fatigue, mood swings, brain fog, stubborn weight, or poor sleep, your diet—not just your hormones—might be the missing piece. Tune in to learn:

• Why undereating slows your thyroid and metabolism
• How skipping meals and relying on coffee alone can mess with your hormones
• The link between under-fueling, blood sugar swings, and insulin resistance (even if you’re thin)
• Why many women lose their appetite in the morning (hint: cortisol + burnout)
• Simple, efficient meal prep tips to fuel your body with real food
• Claudia’s favorite quick protein options

Stop trying to supplement or test your way out of an underfed body; this episode is your wake-up call!
