Sacred Metabolism: Pleasure, Hormones & Your Second Spring w/ Carla Wainwright

Midlife isn’t a decline—it’s initiation. Holistic wellness coach, sexual awakening facilitator, and “midlife alchemist” Carla Wainwright shares how science-backed metabolic health and feminine wisdom work together to help women 40+ reclaim vitality, regulate the nervous system, and reawaken desire. We dig into insulin resistance, cortisol, sleep, and why pleasure is potent medicine (think tiny rituals like a morning candle or a 3-minute nature pause) that boosts oxytocin and shifts your whole hormonal cascade.

In this conversation:

• The “sacred metabolism” framework: physical (food, timing, light, circadian rhythm) + energetic (somatics, breath, Qigong, sensual embodiment)
• Why most women are stressed > pleasured—and how to flip that script
• Perimenopause to “Second Spring”: embracing cycles, not forcing linear hustle
• Simple rituals to regulate your system in minutes
