    145 | Why New Year’s Resolutions Fail After 40 — and What to Do Instead in 2026

    If you’re a woman over 40 and you feel like your body fights you every January… this episode is for you. You set the resolutions. Lose weight. Get back in shape. Be “more disciplined.” And yet, by February, you’re exhausted, discouraged, and starting over again. Here’s the truth most women aren’t told: traditional New Year’s resolutions don’t work after 40 — especially during perimenopause and menopause. The “eat less, move more” mindset that worked in your 20s can actually slow your metabolism, raise cortisol, disrupt hormones, and make weight loss harder as you age. In this episode, I break down why resolutions fail for women over 40 and share a science-backed, hormone-friendly approach to creating goals that actually stick in 2026 — without dieting, restriction, or burnout. You’ll learn: Why motivation and willpower aren’t the problem (biology is) How extreme dieting and over-exercising backfire after 40 The difference between weight-based goals vs. process goals Why starting smaller leads to better metabolic results How your environment impacts habits more than discipline Why functioning from choice instead of restriction changes everything How accountability and community make lasting change possible This episode is for the woman who is: Tired of starting over every January Frustrated that weight loss feels harder than it used to Dealing with perimenopause, menopause, fatigue, or stubborn belly fat Ready to stop punishing her body and start working with it I also share what’s coming next on the podcast — including a deep dive into what actually supports metabolism and weight loss for women over 40 — plus an invitation to my 2-day Workshop (Feb 10–11) where we uncover what’s blocking your results and apply it to you through live coaching. ✨ If past resolutions didn’t work, it doesn’t mean you failed. It means the strategy failed you. 🎧 Tune in and learn how to create New Year’s resolutions that finally support your hormones, metabolism, and long-term health — so 2026 doesn’t become another year of starting over. ✨ Next Steps: Ready to take the next step?

    139 | Stop Sugar Cravings Before the Holidays — 3 Proven Nutrition Tips for Women Over 40

    Struggling with sugar cravings as the holidays creep in? If you want to enjoy holiday food without losing control — and actually feel good in your body this season — this episode is for you. Today we’re breaking down the real reason your cravings feel stronger after 40, and why sugar feels almost impossible to resist in perimenopause and menopause. (Hint: it’s not about willpower — it’s your hormones, your metabolism, and your mindset.) You’ll learn the three proven nutrition strategies that help women over 40 reduce sugar cravings, balance blood sugar, and stay in control around holiday treats… without feeling deprived. These are the exact tools I teach inside my Metabolic Mastery program. ✨ What You’ll Learn in This Episode ✔ Why sugar cravings worsen during the holidays — especially in perimenopause & menopause How declining estrogen affects blood sugar Why cortisol spikes (hello: stress, rushing, overcommitting) increase cravings The connection between unstable blood sugar and emotional eating What’s actually happening in your metabolism after 40 ✔ The emotional + seasonal triggers that make cravings stronger Why the holidays create a perfect storm of nostalgia, stress, and food cues How cultural conditioning (“It’s the holidays — just indulge!”) works against your goals How mindset, expectations, and overwhelm play into nighttime cravings ✔ 3 Proven Nutrition Tips to Stop Sugar Cravings Before They Start   ✨ Key Takeaways Cravings are not a lack of willpower — they’re messages. Your body is asking for nourishment, minerals, and stability. Front-loading calories and eating 30+ grams of protein at breakfast balances hormones and reduces nighttime eating. Mindset matters. Decide who you want to be during the holidays — and how you want to feel in January. Minerals drive metabolic stability. When your body is deficient, cravings intensify. Hydration impacts cravings. Drink water before grabbing sweets. ✨ Perfect For You If… You’re a woman over 40 and you’re experiencing: Sugar cravings Perimenopause or menopause symptoms Blood sugar crashes Afternoon fatigue Nighttime eating Weight loss resistance Belly fat or bloating Low energy Holiday overwhelm This episode gives you simple, doable, science-backed tools to keep your metabolism stable all season long. ✨ Next Steps: Ready to take the next step?
