Inflammation, Hormones, and Perimenopause Truths

You’re doing everything “right” and your body’s still like… nope. Can’t drop the weight. Can’t sleep. Can’t stop yelling at your husband for breathing too loud. If you’ve ever blamed your hormones but couldn’t explain which ones or why this episode is your wake-up call. I brought in hormone ninja Becca Chielankowski to break down the real hormone hierarchy (spoiler: insulin gets VIP access, not estrogen), why inflammation might be the real villain, and what’s ACTUALLY driving your “fluffiness” in midlife. Becca and I cover: Why it’s not just estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone The metabolic chaos of overtraining and undereating HRT myths, misfires, and must-know truths How cortisol got unfairly labeled the villain (and why it’s not) The non-sexy foundations that actually fix your hormones And yes, why less hustle might save your health (gasp!) This is the conversation every midlife woman needs to hear before Googling another supplement stack or fasting protocol. Because guess what? The long way really is the shortcut.
