Description

If you’ve been cutting calories but still feel tired, foggy, and stuck with stubborn belly fat, this episode is for you. Miriam Faggett explains why “eating less” during perimenopause often triggers cortisol flattening, thyroid downshifts, glucose chaos, and estrogen congestion — keeping your body in conservation mode instead of fat-burning mode.

Discover the liquid energy trap, how mitochondrial signaling plays into weight loss resistance, and what strategic re-fueling really looks like for midlife women.
