## Resource

In this episode, Michele Scarlet explains why so many women over 40 struggle with hormonal weight gain, blood sugar crashes, belly fat, fatigue, and slow metabolism — even when they’re eating healthy. She breaks down the connection between insulin, cortisol, thyroid health, inflammation, and perimenopause, while explaining why extreme carb cutting and glucose monitor obsession may actually make symptoms worse. You’ll learn practical strategies to support hormone balance naturally, stabilize blood sugar, improve metabolic health, and achieve sustainable fat loss without restrictive dieting.
