You’re doing everything right… but your body isn’t responding.

Low energy. Stubborn weight. And the strategies that used to work suddenly don’t.

In this episode of the Travel and Transformation podcast, I talk with Sharlene Styles about why intermittent fasting and traditional weight loss advice can backfire for women over 40.

We break down what’s really happening with hormones, metabolism, inflammation, and stress in midlife, and why pushing harder isn’t the answer.

If you’re navigating perimenopause, struggling with weight gain, or trying to balance your hormones naturally, this conversation will help you understand what your body is actually telling you.

TOPICS DISCUSSED:

• The "tricky trio" why hormones, inflammation, and gut health are always connected
• What insulin resistance really is and why your body is basically going on strike
• Why intermittent fasting may be making things worse
• What 36 blood markers can tell you that your doctor's standard tests won't
• Why knowing what to do is never the real problem and what is
• The one thing that determines whether any health change will actually stick
