So many women in midlife feel like their bodies suddenly stopped cooperating, even though nothing has changed about their habits.

In today’s episode, Brooke breaks down what’s actually happening inside the metabolism during perimenopause and why the strategies that worked in your twenties often stop working in your forties and beyond.

We cover:

• Why population studies miss what midlife women experience in real life
• How hormonal fluctuations disrupt blood sugar, recovery, and energy output
• The role of muscle loss, thyroid conversion, and stress in metabolic efficiency
• Why eating “clean” often means eating too little
• What to do differently so your body starts responding again

If you’re tired of guessing and want science-backed clarity on what your metabolism needs right now, you’re going to love this conversation.

Takeaways

• Metabolism doesn’t technically crash in your 40s, but metabolic efficiency absolutely changes

• Hormonal shifts can impact blood sugar, appetite, sleep, and recovery

• Lean muscle loss reduces resting energy expenditure over time

• Chronic stress and under-eating signal the body to conserve energy

• Midlife fat loss requires better fueling, not more restriction

• Strength training is essential for hormone and metabolic support

• Recovery is just as important as training for progress in this stage of life

• A personalized approach matters, because each woman’s hormone response is different

NLP aims to create autonomy for clients, making therapists obsolete as quickly as possible.

The process involves asking deep questions to uncover unconscious patterns.

Positive motivation is more effective than negative motivation in achieving goals.

Clients often experience significant transformations in their lives after NLP sessions.

Grief and emotional pain can be addressed without reliving traumatic experiences.
