• 133 | GLP-1, Menopause & Weight Gain: What Every Woman Over 40 Needs to Know
    Oct 3 2025

    If you’ve been hearing about Ozempic, Wegovy, or GLP-1 and wondering what it really means for you in perimenopause or menopause, this episode is a must-listen.

    Here’s the truth: GLP-1 isn’t just about medication — it’s a natural hormone your body already makes that helps control appetite, cravings, blood sugar, and weight. But here’s the catch: after 40, GLP-1 levels naturally decline as estrogen and progesterone drop. That’s why cravings increase, belly fat shows up, and weight loss feels impossible even when you’re “doing everything right.”

    In this episode, you’ll learn:

    • What GLP-1 actually is — and why the medications work
    • Why menopause lowers GLP-1 (and how that impacts weight gain)
    • 3 science-backed ways to boost your body’s natural GLP-1 without drugs
    • How sleep, minerals, and gut health all play a role in your metabolism after 40

    👉 Ready to go deeper? Join me for my free 2-day live workshop on October 14–15 where I’ll teach you step-by-step how to reset your metabolism, balance hormones, and finally see results after 40. Save your spot at nutritionherway.com/workshop — even if you can’t join live, you’ll get the replay.

    Friend, your body isn’t broken. With the right tools, you can boost GLP-1 naturally, calm cravings, and finally get your metabolism working for you again. 💛

  • 131 | The #1 Dietary Habit Sabotaging Your Hormones & Slowing Your Metabolism After 40
    Sep 26 2025

    If you’re a woman over 40 struggling with weight gain, low energy, sugar cravings, or stubborn belly fat, this episode is for you.

    Here’s the truth: the #1 dietary habit I see women making isn’t about what you’re eating… it’s about when you’re eating. And this single mistake is sabotaging your hormones, slowing your metabolism, and making weight loss after 40 feel nearly impossible.

    In this episode, you’ll learn: ✅ Why meal timing matters more than ever in perimenopause and menopause ✅ How skipping breakfast and eating late disrupts cortisol, hunger hormones, and sleep ✅ The research-backed reason late-night eating leads to more belly fat ✅ What to do instead so you can reset your hormones, boost metabolism, and finally see results

    This simple shift can completely change the way your body responds to food — no extreme dieting, no cutting carbs, and no hours in the gym.

  • 130 | How Kristi, 62, Lost 10lbs, Cut Blood Pressure Meds, and Lowered Cholesterol — Without Overhauling Her Life
    Sep 24 2025

    What if you could lose weight, lower your blood pressure, and improve your cholesterol — without dieting perfectly, giving up your favorite foods, or overhauling your whole life?

    In today’s episode, I’m interviewing my client, Kristi, who lost 10 pounds in just 3.5 months, cut her blood pressure medication in half, and saw her cholesterol levels improve — all while eating ice cream weekly with her sister and navigating the busiest season of her career in finance.

    She also shares how her sleep improved, her anxiety levels dropped, and how she felt calmer and more in control — even when life was at its most stressful.

    If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s possible to see results without being “perfect” or giving up everything you love, this story will encourage you.

    What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

    • How Krisit lost 10lbs and improved her health markers without an extreme diet
    • Why stress reduction and sleep improvements mattered as much as nutrition
    • The mindset shifts that helped her stick with small changes (even when work was overwhelming)
    • Proof that you can enjoy your favorite foods (yes, even ice cream) and still see results after 40

    This conversation is your reminder: you don’t need to do it all — you just need to do the right things consistently.

    Sep 17 2025

    Are you crashing by 3 p.m.? That mid-afternoon slump where you’re exhausted, craving sugar, or pouring a second cup of coffee isn’t just “getting older” — it’s a sign your metabolism, blood sugar, and hormones are out of balance.

    In this episode, I break down the three most common reasons women over 40 feel drained and exhausted by mid-day — and share one simple change you can make tomorrow morning to start fixing it.

    You’ll learn:

    • How blood sugar imbalances trigger cravings, fatigue, and stubborn belly fat
    • Why insulin resistance makes your body store energy instead of burning it
    • The hidden nutrient deficiencies that slow down your metabolism and leave you tired
    • The one breakfast strategy proven to stabilize energy all day long (backed by research!)

    Friend, your low energy is not “just aging.” It’s your metabolism asking for help. And the good news? With the right nutrition and habits, you can get your energy, focus, and metabolism back.

    Sep 10 2025

    Is your metabolism slowing down after 40? You’re not imagining it. Weight gain, stubborn belly fat, low energy, and disrupted sleep are all signs your metabolism and hormones have shifted—and sometimes, the very things you do to “fix it” are actually making it worse.

    In this episode, I’m breaking down the 3 common mistakes women over 40 make that slow down metabolism—and what to do instead so you can finally lose weight, boost energy, and feel like yourself again.

    Here’s what you’ll learn today:

    • Why focusing only on diet and exercise leaves your metabolism stuck

    • The real reason cutting calories doesn’t work anymore (and what to do instead)

    • Why one-size-fits-all plans like Weight Watchers, keto, or fasting don’t work after 40—and how to create a plan that’s right for your body now

    You’ll also walk away with practical tips you can start using today, like how to improve your sleep rhythm, the best way to time your meals for fat loss, and why your metabolism needs more than just diet and workouts.

  • 127 | Waking Up Tired and Gaining Weight? How Cortisol Is Blocking Fat Loss After 40
    Sep 3 2025

    Struggling with weight gain after 40, stubborn belly fat, poor sleep, or constant stress? It may not be your willpower—it’s cortisol, your body’s main stress hormone.

    In this episode of [Podcast Name], I’m breaking down how stress, sleep, and cortisol are deeply connected—and why high cortisol keeps women in perimenopause and menopause tired, anxious, and stuck at their weight despite eating healthy and exercising.

    Here’s what you’ll learn today: ✅ The link between cortisol, sleep, and fat storage (especially belly fat) ✅ Why poor sleep raises cortisol—and high cortisol ruins sleep in a vicious cycle ✅ How hormone changes after 40 (declining estrogen, progesterone, and melatonin) make you more sensitive to stress ✅ The hidden ways cortisol slows your metabolism, increases cravings, and blocks fat loss ✅ A simple breathing exercise you can use anytime, anywhere to calm cortisol, reset your stress rhythm, and support fat burning

    If you’re frustrated by menopause weight gain, fatigue, or restless nights, this episode will help you understand what’s really going on inside your body—and give you a practical tool you can use today to start seeing change.

  • 126 | 3 Reasons Your Metabolism Slows After 40 — And How to Fix Each One
    Aug 27 2025

    Is your waistline creeping up, energy crashing by mid-afternoon, and nothing new has really changed? You’re not imagining it—after 40, your metabolism really does shift. But it’s not “broken,” and you don’t need another restrictive diet to fix it.

    In this episode, I’m breaking down 3 surprising reasons your metabolism slows after 40—and the one simple fix you can start today for each one. We’ll talk about how mineral depletion impacts hormones and cravings, how stress and cortisol can lead to insulin resistance and belly fat, and why muscle loss makes weight loss harder (even if you’re exercising).

    By the end, you’ll know how to: ✅ Reset minerals + electrolytes to fuel energy and metabolism ✅ Rebalance meal timing to lower cortisol and improve insulin sensitivity ✅ Build muscle and movement into your day so your metabolism burns stronger, 24/7

    If you’re tired of guessing, this episode will show you how to work with your metabolism, not against it—so you can feel energized, reduce cravings, and finally see progress in your 40s, 50s, and beyond.
