Ep 58: The Midlife Metabolism Fix
Episode 58
Tuesday, 13 May, 2025
Want to burn more fat, feel more energized, and stop pesky cravings? But here’s the twist: not by changing what you eat but by when you eat it!! In this episode, you will learn how what you eat impacts your blood sugar, cravings, and metabolism, why skipping meals often backfires, the three daily eating windows to reset your metabolism, and how to time your meals to boost fat burning. So many women obsess over what foods to eat for burning fat, completely overlooking food pairing and meal timing. I debunk the myth that some foods are better than others for losing weight and explain why calories are what matter. But remember, food quality and your hormonal response to it also matter!How you fuel your body in the morning truly impacts how it performs the rest of the day. I share heaps of research to back this up. I explain how by providing your brain, muscles, and body with their desired fuel, they burn fat throughout the day, eliminating cravings and excess fat. There’s a time and place for intermittent fasting, but it's not every day nor for everyone. Instead, I provide an alternative. I then share my top three strategies for eating within an hour of waking. Not to be missed! Lastly, I recommend the optimal time to leave between meals, depending on how active you are. These are all subtle shifts that may mean you need to wake up earlier or meal prep the day before, with a healthy dose of experimenting too, but try it for 10-15 days, and I promise you will feel the shift!Ready for a great night’s sleep?
