Why hormonal shifts make traditional dieting ineffective for midlife women
Marsha Shepherd Whitt, a metabolic health educator and author focused on midlife and menopause, reframes midlife weight gain as physiological, not willpower. She explores estrogen-related shifts, how chronic glucose and cortisol drive conservation, and why calorie-restricting diets backfire. Practical topics include protein-first meals, lowering carbs to reduce insulin, stress and sleep strategies, and strength training to preserve muscle.
