Metabolic Mastery for Women 40 + (Part 2)
Ready to discover the hidden factor that could be sabotaging your health and weight loss efforts? In this episode of The Empowered Feminine Podcast, I'm pulling back the curtain on inflammation - what I consider the root cause of nearly ALL our health struggles after 40.
Here's the truth: if you're dealing with stubborn weight, unpredictable energy levels, or hormonal chaos, inflammation is likely the culprit. I'll walk you through exactly how your blood sugar, stress levels, and daily habits are either feeding the flames of inflammation or helping you extinguish them.
