Ep. 108 Menopause Cravings: Why Cortisol (Not Willpower) Is Making You Hungry

If you keep blaming yourself for sugar cravings, afternoon crashes, or late-night snacking—this episode is your wake-up call. Menopause changes how your body handles stress, blood sugar, and hunger signals, and no amount of "willpower" can outsmart cortisol. In this episode, I break down the real science behind stress-induced cravings and show you how to stabilize your energy, calm your nervous system, and stop feeling out of control around food. You'll learn why stress and cortisol are the missing pieces behind constant hunger, energy dips, and stubborn belly fat—and the small, doable habits that finally make your hormones work with you instead of against you.
