Description

🎙 Welcome to The Midlife Edit Podcast!

If you’ve ever felt like your metabolism slowed down overnight, you’re not alone. In midlife, hormonal changes can impact how your body uses energy — but that doesn’t mean your metabolism is broken. In today’s episode, we’re kicking off a 5-part series on Midlife Nutrition Made Simple by breaking down the basics of metabolism.

You’ll learn:

• What metabolism really is (hint: it’s not the villain it’s made out to be!)
• How your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) works and why it’s so important
• The biggest factors influencing metabolism in midlife — including muscle mass and hormones
• Why losing muscle can slow down your BMR and how to prevent it
• Simple, actionable tips to start supporting your metabolism today

Whether you’re feeling frustrated by stubborn weight gain or just want to understand your body better, this episode is packed with practical insights to help you feel empowered, not defeated.
