    101 | The Clean-Eating Trap: 5 Surprising Foods That Can Wreck Your Metabolism in Perimenopause [What I Wish I Knew Series]

    Do You Have A Hormone Imbalance? Take my FREE Hormone Symptom Profile Assessment: https://bit.ly/takemyhormonequiz Eighty to ninety percent of the women I talk to tell me they’re “eating clean.” The problem?  They’re following the same “healthy” diet that worked for their 30-year-old metabolism…and hormones. According to a 2022 study in the Journal of Midlife Health, nearly seven in ten women in perimenopause who report “eating clean” still show elevated inflammation markers—one of the biggest drivers of sluggish metabolism and stubborn weight gain. In today’s episode, I’m peeling back the curtain on five so-called “healthy” foods that might be secretly slowing down your metabolism…and why the very foods you thought were helping you lose weight might actually be keeping the scale stuck. In this episode, I‘ll address your most commonly asked questions, including ✅ What foods slow down metabolism in perimenopause? ✅ Is soy good for your hormones in midlife? ✅ Which is better for your blood sugar: pure cane sugar or agave? ✅ How does inflammation contribute to weight gain in perimenopause? ✅ Can eating more whole grains help me lose weight after 40? ✅ What are some sneaky sources of sugar hiding in a “clean” diet? ✅ Why can’t I lose weight even though I’m eating healthy? If you’ve ever wondered why your “healthy” diet seems to be working against you, this episode will show you what’s really keeping your metabolism stuck. — “WHAT I WISH I KNEW AT 40” SERIES 100 | Perimenopause Weight Gain?
