About this episode
I'm exposing the truth about midlife energy crashes that so many of us face—and it's not just about getting older! From those "healthy" morning smoothies that spike your blood sugar to the late-night screen time stealing your deep sleep, these energy vampires are sabotaging your vitality. As women in perimenopause, those 3am wake-ups aren't random, they're hormonal landmines like dropping progesterone levels that need addressing. I've spent years helping women reclaim their energy through simple but powerful adjustments: protein-loaded breakfasts that stabilize blood sugar, strategic movement that builds your "metabolic battery," and key supplements like creatine and electrolytes that specifically support women's biochemistry. The changes I've seen in my clients are nothing short of remarkable, tripling their energy in just 14 days using these exact protocols. What you’ll learn: Why your morning smoothie might be your biggest energy saboteur and how to transform it into a power breakfast The surprising connection between late-night screen time and poor sleep quality (and the simple red light hack that boosts melatonin by 200%) How to identify and address the hormonal landmines of perimenopause that cause energy crashes The critical nutrients women need for optimal energy production after 40 Why "metabolic Spanx" (muscle) is your secret weapon for sustained energy and fat burning How to structure your strength training for maximum energy benefits The hydration strategy that eliminates night cramps and boosts daytime energy Love the Podcast?
