Food is not just calories. It's a messenger.

Especially as we enter into perimenopause this is more important than ever.

You may have found that the things you did in your 20's and 30's to lose weight are no longer working.

Or maybe you haven't changed anything and you can't understand why you're gaining weight.

Maybe you feel like you're doing everything right - and you're frustrated because you just can't get your weight to budge.

This is an essential first step for weight loss in perimenopause and menopause.

Taking care of sugar (and the sneaky names for it, even hidden in "health foods"), is the first step in getting your hunger hormones to start signalling properly and allowing your body to release the excess weight.

I hope you find this episode helpful.

If you need help with this essential step for effective and lasting weight loss over 40, I've put together a mini-course for you on how to do exactly that.

I'm so happy to present this episode to you - it's good news.

I hear from so many women who are frustrated because they think they're doing everything right to lose weight but it's just not working.

It's not that your body is broken - it's simply that a different approach is required.

An approach that works with our changing hormones at this age.

In today's episode I simplify it for you on WHY carbs are essential for effective weight loss in perimenopause and menopause.

I hope this helps you and encourages you to start eating to work WITH your hormones, and not against them - which is what low carb diets at this age do.
