1: Your Body Isn’t Broken — What Actually Changes in Midlife Biology
Are you experiencing midlife weight gain, low energy, brain fog, or poor sleep and wondering why your body suddenly feels different?
If you’re over 40 and feel like your metabolism isn’t responding the way it used to, this episode explains why — and it’s not a willpower problem.
In this debut episode of Discover Your Personal Power: Midlife Hormones, Metabolism & Energy, Registered Nurse and Functional Medicine Practitioner Peggy Moore breaks down the real biology behind perimenopause and menopause.
What You’ll Learn In This Episode:
Estrogen Fluctuations: How shifting hormones directly affect your body's fat storage and insulin sensitivity.
The Muscle Connection: Why natural muscle loss after age 40 silently impacts your daily metabolism and baseline energy.
Spotting Insulin Resistance: What insulin resistance actually looks like in midlife women (it’s more than just a number on a lab test).
The Cortisol Factor: How chronic stress and cortisol contribute to stubborn belly fat and those frustrating 3 AM wake-ups.
The Diet Trap: Why traditional calorie restriction completely backfires during menopause and what to do instead. Midlife is not metabolic failure. It’s biological recalibration.
If you’re tired of dieting harder and getting nowhere, this episode will help you understand what’s actually happening inside your body — so you can stop blaming yourself and start adjusting strategically.
