If your doctor keeps telling you your bloodwork looks “normal,” but you still feel exhausted, puffy, moody, wired-but-tired, and struggling with stubborn belly fat… this episode is for you.

In this deep dive, I walk you through the key blood markers every woman over 40 should understand — and what they really reveal about your hormones, your metabolism, and your long-term health.

We’ll talk about:

  • Why only testing hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone can be misleading — and how to use those results wisely. 
  • The key blood markers every woman over 40 should understand and how subtle shifts in markers like glucose, lipids, liver enzymes, thyroid, inflammation, and iron can be early clues of metabolic imbalance
  • How these bloodwork patterns are often the real reason behind midlife weight gain, fatigue, brain fog, mood swings, poor sleep, and other stubborn perimenopause symptoms
  • The role nutrition plays in rebalancing your bloodwork and your metabolism naturally so you can thrive in perimenopause and the years beyond.

This isn’t about obsessing over numbers. It’s about learning to read the story your body is telling you — so you can catch issues early, fix the root cause issues to support your metabolism, and feel more like yourself again in no time, naturally.
