Want to trigger fat loss, feel more energized, and stop pesky cravings during menopause? It can be as simple as changing when you eat not what you eat it.

In this episode on womens health, you will learn how what you eat impacts your blood sugar, cravings, and metabolism, why skipping meals often backfires, the three daily eating windows to reset your metabolism, and how to time your meals to boost fat burning.

I share my top three strategies for eating within an hour of waking if you're a woman around menopause. I also recommend the optimal time to leave between meals, depending on how active you are. These are all subtle shifts that may mean you need to wake up earlier or meal prep the day before, with a healthy dose of experimenting too, but try it for 10-15 days, and I promise you will feel the shift!
