    E: 342 Menopause Didn’t Break Your Metabolism — What Actually Changed

    Got a question? Send Audrey a Text and she will answer in an episode. There’s a new study circulating that says menopause doesn’t impact metabolism. And on the surface… that sounds reassuring. But if you’re in your 40s or 50s and feel like:  nothing changed, but everything changed  you’re doing the same things, but getting different results  your labs are “normal,” but you don’t feel normal 👉 this episode is for you Because here’s the truth: The study didn’t say metabolism doesn’t change. It showed that calorie burn may not change significantly. But metabolism is more than calories. In this episode, we break down:  what the research actually measured (and what it didn’t)  why metabolism can feel “slower” even when it’s not  how muscle mass impacts metabolic function  the role of stress, recovery, and circadian rhythm  why your body responds differently to the same inputs This is the shift most women are missing: 👉 it’s not just what you eat  👉 it’s how your body is responding And that response changes during perimenopause and menopause. If you’ve been told:  “It’s just aging”  or  “everything looks normal” …this will help you understand what’s actually happening underneath.

    E: 341 The 3 Hidden Patterns Behind Fatigue, Weight Gain, and “Normal” Labs

    Got a question? Send Audrey a Text and she will answer in an episode. If you feel like you’re doing everything right… but nothing is working — this episode is for you. “I’ve tried everything.”  “My labs are normal.”  “My doctor says I’m fine.”  “I still feel awful.” These are the exact phrases I hear every single day. And what I want you to understand is this: 👉 Your symptoms are not random.  👉 They follow patterns. In this episode, I walk you through the three most common metabolic patterns I see in practice that are driving the majority of symptoms — even when standard labs look “normal.” We break down: • Why inflammation is not the root problem (and what actually drives it)  • How blood sugar instability can exist long before diagnosis  • The role of circadian rhythm and your environment in metabolism  • Why “doing everything right” still isn’t working  • What your labs may be missing — and what to look for instead This is the shift from guessing… to understanding. Because once you understand the pattern, you can finally start making progress.

    E: 340 Why Meal Timing, Light, and Sleep Matter More Than Diet for Metabolic Health

    Got a question? Send Audrey a Text and she will answer in an episode. We didn’t change her diet… and everything changed. In just over 30 days, her C-reactive protein (CRP) dropped from 36.6 to 0.8 — a 97% reduction in inflammation — without changing her calories, macros, or food quality. So what actually changed? In this episode, I break down the real drivers of metabolic health that most people overlook:  how meal timing impacts insulin sensitivity  why light exposure controls cortisol, inflammation, and energy  the role of sleep in regulating metabolism and immune function  how circadian rhythm acts as the control system for your body If you’ve been eating “clean,” tracking macros, and still not seeing results… this episode will help you understand why. Your metabolism is not controlled by food alone.  It is controlled by the signals your body receives from your environment. When you change the signal, your body changes its response. Listen in to learn how to work with your biology instead of against it.

    E: 338 High Cholesterol Runs in My Family: Genetics vs Lifestyle (What Actually Matters)

    Got a question? Send Audrey a Text and she will answer in an episode. If high cholesterol “runs in your family”…does that mean you’re stuck with it? or that you can't do anything to help? Not exactly. In this episode, we’re breaking down the truth about genetic cholesterol, including conditions like Familial Hypercholesterolemia—and why genetics are only one piece of the puzzle. Inside this episode, we cover:  Why genetics don’t guarantee outcomes  The role of Epigenetics in cholesterol expression  Why LDL alone is a poor predictor of cardiovascular risk  What actually drives heart disease (hint: it’s not just cholesterol)  How your Metabolic Scorecard changes the entire conversation  Where statins fit—and where they may notWhy cholesterol isn't the problem Support the show Resources DOWNLOAD YOUR METABOLIC SCORECARD --> AudreyChristie.com click "Metabolic Scorecard" button\ Instagram --> https://instagram.com/audrey_christie  Disclaimer Audrey is not an MD or a DVM and has never claimed to be.
