Episode: 468: Midlife Metabolism After 40: What's Actually True

from Grace & Grit Podcast · host Grace & Grit LLC

Your metabolism didn't fall off a cliff — but your muscle mass might have. Many women over 40 blame midlife weight gain on a "broken metabolism," but the real drivers during perimenopause and menopause are muscle loss, hormonal shifts, sleep disruption, and reduced activity. In this episode, you'll learn what actually changes metabolically after 40, why "eat less, move more" backfires, and what supports sustainable metabolic health in midlife. If you want to take this work deeper, grab my book The Consistency Code: A Midlife Woman's Guide to Deep Health and Happiness. ✨ It's the roadmap midlife women are using to lead themselves powerfully in the health arena and beyond.
