Episode 393: Reclaiming Your Plate: How to Avoid the Top Nutrition Traps of Midlife

In this episode, I break down the unique nutritional challenges we face as women in midlife and how to navigate them without losing your mind (or appetite). Let's face it – the eating strategies that worked in your 30s might be falling flat now as your hormones and metabolism shift. I'll walk you through the four most common nutrition traps that catch us in midlife and share practical, doable alternatives that actually work with your changing body instead of against it.

In this episode, you'll discover:

Why "everything in moderation" might be terrible advice for your midlife body and how to figure out which foods actually deserve some boundaries
How to break free from the endless cycle of diet dogma and create an approach that works for YOUR unique body
The huge difference between smart calorie management and the soul-crushing practice of chronic dieting

Whether you're dealing with stubborn weight gain, energy crashes, or just feeling completely confused by all the conflicting nutrition advice out there, this episode offers a fresh take on reclaiming your plate with confidence during this wild ride we call midlife.
