The Diet That Should Have Worked — Why Clean Eating Hits a Wall in Perimenopause

You did everything right. Cut the sugar, dropped the wine, tracked your meals, added the walks. And the midsection weight still didn't move.

In this episode, functional nutritionist and gut-hormone specialist Miriam Faggett, MS, CNS breaks down the real reason clean eating stops working in perimenopause — and why the answer has nothing to do with trying harder or cutting more.

You'll learn:

• Why the most disciplined women are often the most stuck
• What's happening in your body overnight that no food choice can fix
• The difference between a nutrition problem and a stress-hormone-glucose problem — and why it matters
• What shifts when the correct driver is addressed before the diet is

If you've ever looked at your food journal and wondered why it isn't adding up — this episode is for you.
