109 | Is Emotional Baggage Wrecking Your Metabolism? Why Your Body Feels Stuck

If you’re a woman over 40 dealing with low energy, stubborn weight gain, menopause symptoms like hot flashes and bloating, or just feeling emotionally exhausted — this episode is for you. In today’s episode, I’m shifting gears and addressing these menopause and perimenopause symptoms from a different angle. We’re digging into how unhealed trauma, chronic stress, and emotional wounds fill your stress bucket and silently affect your metabolism, weight loss efforts, and energy levels. I’ll be sharing what Scripture says about how worry, fear, and unforgiveness can manifest as disease in the body — yes, even things like fatigue, belly fat, and digestive issues. If you’ve been trying to boost your metabolism, lose weight after 40, and feel like yourself again but nothing seems to stick, this might be the missing link you didn’t realize you needed. We’ll also talk about how trauma physically impacts your hormones, nervous system, and weight loss resistance, plus how to start releasing it through faith, mindset work, and simple habits that support your health during menopause and beyond.
