Episode Description from the Publisher

Have you been doing everything right, cutting out the sugar, never missing a workout, counting every calorie, and still watching the scale creep up while your energy and sleep get worse? In this episode, I'm explaining why "eat less, move more" can backfire once your hormones shift in perimenopause and menopause, and what insulin resistance may have to do with the weight that feels stuck around your midsection. If you're tired of being told to just eat less and you're ready to test the right things, book a call with my team to talk through what you've tried, what hasn't worked, and the best next step for your body. And don't forget to grab my FREE Metabolic Testing Guide in the show notes, where I list the exact labs to start with. Books I mention in this episode (I'm not affiliated with any of these authors, I just love the information): ๐Ÿ“š Doing Harm by Maya Dusenbery ๐Ÿ“š Pain and Prejudice by Gabrielle Jackson ๐Ÿ“š Invisible Women by Caroline Criado Perez ๐Ÿ‘‰ Schedule a call with my team here: https://calendly.com/dr-beth-westie/program-discovery-call ๐Ÿ‘‰ Download your FREE Metabolic Testing Guide here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kYdj9pqO6e9VX9nvXDnL2WxaTkVtBWZO/view?usp=sharing
