Eating Clean vs. Anti-Inflammatory for Midlife Weight Loss
About this episode
Feel like you're eating healthy and "clean", but you're still not losing those midlife pounds?
You're eating the salad. You ordered the oat milk latte. You swapped your white bread for whole grain. So why isn't the scale moving?
Believe it or not, you can be eating clean and still triggering inflammation in your body every single day. And when your body is fighting inflammation, you're not going to be able to lose weight, no matter how many salads you ate this week.
In this episode, I'm walking you through the difference between eating clean and eating anti-inflammatory, and why this distinction matters so much in midlife. I'm breaking down what a typical "healthy" breakfast is actually doing to your body, why your estrogen levels are working against you in perimenopause, and how one small shift completely changed everything for my student Kathleen.
If you have been doing all the right things and still not seeing results, this episode is going to clear up so much confusion for you.
