Feel like you’re doing “all the right things” but still struggling with stubborn weight, sugar cravings, or low energy in midlife?

This episode is for you.

Today, I’m breaking down how to eat for fat loss without dieting by balancing your macros — protein, carbs, and fats — in a way that works with your midlife physiology, not against it.

We’ll cover:

• Why dieting stops working in perimenopause

• The role of oestrogen in blood sugar regulation (and how to avoid the “roller coaster”)

• A simple breakdown of macros and how to balance them

• Why macro-balanced meals are essential for fat loss, energy, and mood in midlife

• A 3-step roadmap to get started today

Whether you’re brand new to macros or just want to stop second-guessing your meals, this episode will give you the clarity and confidence to fuel your body — not deprive it.
