  • E: 342 Menopause Didn’t Break Your Metabolism — What Actually Changed
    Apr 26 2026

    Got a question? Send Audrey a Text and she will answer in an episode.

    There’s a new study circulating that says menopause doesn’t impact metabolism.

    And on the surface… that sounds reassuring.

    But if you’re in your 40s or 50s and feel like:

    • nothing changed, but everything changed
    • you’re doing the same things, but getting different results
    • your labs are “normal,” but you don’t feel normal

    👉 this episode is for you

    Because here’s the truth:

    The study didn’t say metabolism doesn’t change. It showed that calorie burn may not change significantly.

    But metabolism is more than calories.

    In this episode, we break down:

    • what the research actually measured (and what it didn’t)
    • why metabolism can feel “slower” even when it’s not
    • how muscle mass impacts metabolic function
    • the role of stress, recovery, and circadian rhythm
    • why your body responds differently to the same inputs

    This is the shift most women are missing:

    👉 it’s not just what you eat
    👉 it’s how your body is responding

    And that response changes during perimenopause and menopause.

    If you’ve been told:
    “It’s just aging”
    or
    “everything looks normal”

    …this will help you understand what’s actually happening underneath.

  • E: 341 The 3 Hidden Patterns Behind Fatigue, Weight Gain, and “Normal” Labs
    Apr 23 2026

    Got a question? Send Audrey a Text and she will answer in an episode.

    If you feel like you’re doing everything right… but nothing is working — this episode is for you.

    “I’ve tried everything.”
    “My labs are normal.”
    “My doctor says I’m fine.”
    “I still feel awful.”

    These are the exact phrases I hear every single day.

    And what I want you to understand is this:

    👉 Your symptoms are not random.
    👉 They follow patterns.

    In this episode, I walk you through the three most common metabolic patterns I see in practice that are driving the majority of symptoms — even when standard labs look “normal.”

    We break down:

    • Why inflammation is not the root problem (and what actually drives it)
    • How blood sugar instability can exist long before diagnosis
    • The role of circadian rhythm and your environment in metabolism
    • Why “doing everything right” still isn’t working
    • What your labs may be missing — and what to look for instead

    This is the shift from guessing… to understanding.

    Because once you understand the pattern, you can finally start making progress.

  • E: 340 Why Meal Timing, Light, and Sleep Matter More Than Diet for Metabolic Health
    Apr 17 2026

    Got a question? Send Audrey a Text and she will answer in an episode.

    We didn’t change her diet… and everything changed.

    In just over 30 days, her C-reactive protein (CRP) dropped from 36.6 to 0.8 — a 97% reduction in inflammation — without changing her calories, macros, or food quality.

    So what actually changed?

    In this episode, I break down the real drivers of metabolic health that most people overlook:

    • how meal timing impacts insulin sensitivity
    • why light exposure controls cortisol, inflammation, and energy
    • the role of sleep in regulating metabolism and immune function
    • how circadian rhythm acts as the control system for your body

    If you’ve been eating “clean,” tracking macros, and still not seeing results… this episode will help you understand why.

    Your metabolism is not controlled by food alone.
    It is controlled by the signals your body receives from your environment.

    When you change the signal, your body changes its response.

    Listen in to learn how to work with your biology instead of against it.
