<p>Why am I always tired? It’s rarely “just age” or bad luck — it’s what you’re feeding your body. Food is information, and the wrong foods quietly wreck your metabolism, energy and long-term health. In this episode of <a href="https://www.aleksandra.media/beyond-the-boardroom" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Beyond the Boardroom</a>, <a href="https://www.aleksandra.media" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Aleksandra</a> sits down with expert nutritionist <a href="https://www.aleksandra.media/beyond-the-boardroom-podcast-trailers/v/nicola-vaughan-39dpy" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Nicola Vaughan</strong></a> to decode what your meals are really doing to your body.</p>
<p>From feeling sleepy after lunch to the “thin on the outside, fat on the inside” trap, Nicola explains how modern food is driving insulin resistance, inflammation and burnout — even in people who look healthy. She breaks down how to rewire your metabolism with simple changes to what you eat and how you move, without fad diets or fear.</p>
<p>This is not wellness fluff. It’s a science-led conversation about energy, metabolic health and cancer risk that every busy, ambitious person needs to hear.</p>
