EPISODE SUMMARY

Research tells us women are living longer… but are we living healthier?

So many women struggle with midlife weight gain and poor metabolic health.

At 44 years old, I have more metabolic flexibility and energy than in my 30s. So… listen now so you can learn my secrets to feeling young again!
