Ever feel like stress hits you differently now that you’re over 40? One minute you’re snapping at everyone, the next you’re crying in your car… and then you’re just numb, barely getting through the day. If that sounds familiar, this episode is for you.

In Episode 108: Which Stress Phase Are You In? The 3 Stages of Adrenal Dysfunction (And How to Fix It), we’re diving deep into adrenal dysfunction (aka adrenal fatigue) — what it is, how it wrecks your metabolism and hormones, and how to know which phase you’re in right now. I’ll break down the three stages of adrenal fatigue: ➡️ The Fighter (Overstimulation) ➡️ The Escape Artist (Overload) ➡️ The Freeze (Exhaustion)

You’ll learn the exact signs and symptoms of each phase, from belly fat, brain fog, and sugar cravings to chronic fatigue, depression, and hormone imbalance. Plus, I’ll give you simple, practical steps you can start today to balance your cortisol, support your adrenal glands, and boost your energy naturally.

If you’re dealing with stress, weight gain around your belly, low energy, sleep problems, or perimenopause and menopause symptoms, don’t miss this one — it could be the missing piece to finally start feeling like yourself again.

Tune in now and find out which adrenal stress phase you’re in… and what to do about it.

Tired of waking up at 3AM with your mind racing? Struggling with those relentless sugar cravings and stubborn weight gain, especially around your belly? It’s not just your willpower — it’s your metabolism.

In this episode, I’m giving you 3 simple, proven steps you can start this week to reset your metabolism, balance your blood sugar, and finally get deep, uninterrupted sleep after 40.

We’ll talk about why snacking keeps you stuck in fat-storage mode, how a gentle 12-hour overnight fast can help your body start burning fat again, and why a slow, tech-free morning is one of the best things you can do to lower cortisol, reduce belly fat, and boost your energy naturally.

These are some of the exact strategies I teach inside my Metabolic Mastery program, where I help women over 40 lose weight, balance hormones, ditch the bloat, and get their energy and confidence back — without restrictive diets or crazy workouts.

If you’re dealing with perimenopause weight gain, constant fatigue, or feel like your body just isn’t responding the way it used to, this episode is for you.

Are you waking up at 3AM, craving sweets like crazy, and feeling like you gain weight just looking at food? You’re not imagining it — your metabolism is trying to tell you something.

In this episode, I’m breaking down what’s really going on with your metabolism after 40 and how it’s connected to those frustrating symptoms like weight gain, fatigue, sweet cravings, and those middle-of-the-night wake-ups.

We’ll talk about a concept called metabolic flexibility — your body’s ability to switch between burning carbs and burning fat for fuel. Most women over 40 get stuck in what I call the “carb-burn lane” and lose the ability to tap into fat-burning, which leads to stubborn belly fat, low energy, perimenopause weight gain, and those nagging sugar cravings.

This is one of the core issues I help my clients fix inside my Metabolic Mastery program — and in today’s episode, you’ll learn why restoring metabolic flexibility is the key to lasting weight loss, better sleep, and boosting your energy naturally.

Hit play now and tune in for part one of this two-part series. Then, be sure to come back for Friday’s episode where I’ll give you 3 simple, actionable steps to start fixing your metabolism today!
