207. Your Metabolism’s Not Broken – It’s Traumatized

If you feel like your metabolism suddenly stopped responding in your 40’s, this episode is for you. Because despite what you’ve been told, your body isn’t “just aging,” and the answer is NOT more restriction, more cardio, or more self-control. In this episode, we’re talking about the deeper reasons so many women struggle with weight gain, inflammation, cravings, exhaustion, and insulin resistance during peri/menopause.  And why the real issue often has far more to do with stress, nervous system dysregulation, chronic dieting, and emotional patterns, than calories, burpees, or running. We’ll unpack: Why your metabolism may feel “broken.” How trauma and chronic stress impact the body physiologically. Why weight gain is a symptom—not the root problem. The connection between inflammation, hormones, insulin resistance & emotional eating. And a more supportive approach to metabolic healing.  If you’re tired of fighting your body and ready to understand what’s actually happening beneath the surface, this conversation will change how you see everything.  ️ I’m also hosting a live workshop called:“Your Metabolism Isn’t Broken—It’s Traumatized” You can register here: https://calendly.com/jillian-2/trauma Chapters (00:00:02) - Hungry for Love(00:00:24) - Does Your Metabolism Break?(00:02:36) - How to Heal Your Metabolic Dysfunction in Your 40s(00:07:12) - How to Heal a Trauma- Affected Body(00:12:36) - Binge Eating and Relationship Cycle
