Ever wondered why your favorite cardio routine might actually be holding you back from feeling your best in midlife? In “Why Your Cardio is Secretly Working Against Your Hormones,” I sit down with Dr. Nathalie Beauchamp, functional medicine expert, chiropractor, biohacker, and best-selling author, to unpack the science of women’s hormones, metabolism, and inflammation as we age.
If you’re struggling with stubborn belly fat, unexplained body aches, brain fog, or just not seeing results from all your effort, this conversation is for you. We dive into why excess cardio amps up cortisol, disrupts hormone balance, and often leads to weight gain, not loss. Dr. Nat and I explore why most women are missing out on enough protein, the power of strength training for metabolism and bone health, and how sleep is a non-negotiable for flat bellies and balanced hormones in your 40s, 50s, and beyond.
What You'll Learn:
- Why “Why Your Cardio is Secretly Working Against Your Hormones” is the key to understanding midlife weight gain, cortisol, and hormone imbalances
- How excessive cardio increases cortisol and why that sabotages your metabolism and healthy weight loss after 40
- How to calculate your ideal protein intake for muscle gain, fat loss, and blood sugar balance
- Why strength training, not endless cardio, is critical for women’s hormone health, bone density, and vitality post-menopause
- Simple biohacks and morning routines to support your adrenals, mental clarity, and reduce chronic inflammation
- The hidden inflammation test (Omega 6:3 ratio) every woman in midlife should request for brain fog and pain
- The truth about sleep, recovery, and why 7-9 hours per night may be the easiest solution for stubborn belly fat
- How to rethink exercise with movement “stacks,” and stack habits for real-life results
