Show Notes
I hear this from women all the time: “I’m doing everything I used to do, but my body just won’t respond anymore.” In this episode, I sit down with midlife health expert Natalie Jill to talk about what’s actually happening to women in their 40s and 50s…from hormones and cortisol to inflammation, visceral fat, GLP-1s, muscle loss, and the workouts that may be doing more harm than good. We also get into menopause myths, nervous system dysregulation, breast implant illness, and what women can realistically do to feel strong, healthy, and confident again.
