The real metric that determines whether your body burns fat or stores it is something most women completely ignore: your heart rate variability (HRV). In this episode, we break down what HRV actually measures, why it drops during perimenopause, and how it directly impacts your metabolism, hormones, and fat loss. You’ll also learn practical strategies to improve recovery, lower stress, and finally create an environment where your body can burn fat again. If you’re tired of doing everything “right” with no results—this will change your approach completely. Subscribe for science-backed strategies built for women navigating hormones and metabolism. 🧠 Not Sure Where to Start?
