Listen "Food as Fuel: Eating to Reignite Your Metabolism"
Episode Synopsis
If you’ve been unintentionally slowing down your metabolism by eating the wrong foods, what can you do about it?
In this episode, I’ll show you how to use food as fuel to reignite your metabolism—especially during midlife. You’ll learn why protein is your metabolism’s best friend, how carbs and fats can either work for or against you, and how gut health shapes your body’s ability to burn fat. With this episode, my goal is to help you move beyond counting calories and start eating in a way that truly powers your energy, your hormones, and your long-term vitality.
What you’ll learn:
(01:51) Why protein is the foundation of a fast, strong metabolism—and why most women over 40 are under-eating it.
(03:28) The science behind how protein preserves lean muscle and prevents metabolic slowdown during weight loss.
(05:00) How to build your plate with protein first, followed by non-starchy vegetables, fiber-rich carbs, and healthy fats.
(08:34) The dangers of ultra-processed foods.
(10:04) How to time your meals for maximum energy and fat burning.
(12:56) Why stopping food intake at least two hours before bed helps stabilize blood sugar and improve sleep quality.
(14:31) The surprising connection between meal timing, appetite, and hunger control.
(16:01) How your gut microbiome affects calorie absorption, cravings, and fat storage.
