## Resource

(Part 4 of a series called 'The Mistakes Women in Midlife Make with Their Health') If you've been told that skipping breakfast is the key to weight loss, better health, or balancing your hormones, this episode might surprise you. This week I am addressing mistake number 4 that women in midlife make. I'm unpacking why breakfast is one of the most strategic things many women in midlife can do for their energy, hormones, body composition, sleep, and cravings. We look at the science behind cortisol, blood sugar, muscle loss, and why intermittent fasting often doesn't work as well for women as it does for men. Plus, I'll share simple ways to start eating breakfast again, even if you're never hungry in the morning.Resources: Join the Flourish - a small group fat loss programme - at keziahall.com/flourish Join my one to one wait list here - keziahall.com/wait
