Is your breakfast keeping your menopause belly?
If you're over 40 and the scales won't budge even though you're doing "everything right," the problem might not be what you're eating. It might be when you start.
In this episode, I explain why I believe breakfast is one of the most important meals of the day in menopause, and why skipping it could be working against you.
Inside this episode, you'll discover:
✨ Why menopause changes the game. Insulin resistance and cortisol team up to store abdominal fat, and how your first meal can help break that pattern.
✨ The 30g + 10g breakfast formula. 30 grams of protein and 10 grams of fibre, with simple ideas for what that looks like (including exactly what I eat every day).
✨ Why rhythm matters. How a pre-workout snack, a steady eating window and a strong circadian rhythm help you protect muscle, steady your energy and feel like yourself again.
You'll also hear how to beat the 3pm energy crash, what to avoid first thing in the morning, and where intermittent fasting fits.
This isn't about restriction or willpower. It's one small shift that can make a big difference to your energy, your cravings and your routine.
