  • Ep. 81 - Struggling with Late Night Snacking? 4 Tips to Stop the Habit & Stay in Control
    May 23 2025

    You eat well all day… and then 9 PM hits — and suddenly, the snack drawer is calling your name. Sound familiar? You’re not alone — and this struggle isn’t about lacking willpower. For midlife women, late-night cravings often stem from blood sugar crashes, hormonal shifts, and habit loops.

    In this episode, I’m breaking down 4 smart, simple tips to help you reduce nighttime snacking by balancing your blood sugar and honoring your body’s real needs — without shame or guilt.

    What You’ll Learn in This Episode: ✅ Why late-night cravings are not a failure of willpower ✅ How hormonal shifts in midlife (like estrogen and progesterone changes) impact your cravings and insulin response ✅ The importance of front-loading your protein during the day ✅ How to create a gentle “kitchen closed” ritual to signal rest ✅ What to snack on if you need something at night (no sugar crashes!) ✅ Non-food ways to unwind and soothe your nervous system ✅ How what happens at 9 PM affects how you feel at 9 AM

  • Ep. 79 - Truths About Nutrition After 50 & Why the Old Diet Advice Isn’t Helping
    May 8 2025

    Still following outdated diet advice that tells you to eat less, avoid protein, or restrict everything you love? No wonder you're feeling tired, stuck, or like your body just isn’t responding the way it used to.

    In this episode, I’m breaking down three nutrition truths every woman over 50 needs to know — especially if you want more energy, better mobility, and lasting weight loss without the burnout.

    You'll learn:

    • Why you actually need more protein, not less
    • How restriction sabotages consistency
    • The sneaky way blood sugar crashes are draining your energy

    This is your permission to ditch the old rules — and start fueling your body in a way that works with your hormones, metabolism, and real life.

    🔑 Key Takeaways:

    • Muscle loss increases after 50, making protein essential, not optional
    • Extreme calorie cutting leads to burnout, not results
    • Balanced meals help you avoid energy dips and constant cravings
    • Real, sustainable change comes from nourishment, not restriction

    You’re not behind. You’re rebuilding—with grace. 💜
