About this listen

 How can outdated workout myths keep you exhausted and inflamed? I’m calling out the exercise myths that once worked for me—but quietly stopped serving women after 40. In this episode, I break down why harder workouts, fasted training, and low-protein mornings can sabotage metabolism, energy, and recovery. Then I share what actually works now, when exercise and nutrition are aligned with your biology instead of fighting it. What you’ll learn: (02:38) How circadian rhythm and meal timing influence insulin sensitivity and energy. (03:31) Why morning light exposure helps turn metabolism back on. (05:02) What research reveals about breakfast skipping and long-term weight control. (06:49) How ultra-processed breakfasts drive hunger and overeating. (07:41) Why protein before workouts boosts lean mass and recovery after 40. (09:08) The ideal protein-fiber-fat formula for a metabolic breakfast. (14:41) How changing breakfast timing and composition transformed cravings, energy, and workouts. Love the podcast? Here’s what to do: Subscribe to the podcast. Leave a review.
