Send us Fan MailYou're eating clean, working out consistently, and doing everything you've been told should work.  So why do you still feel exhausted, inflamed, stuck, or like your body is working against you?In this episode, we unpack one of the biggest mistakes we see women make in midlife: trying to solve stress-related symptoms with more restriction, more exercise, and less food. While these strategies may have worked in the past, hormonal shifts in midlife can make your body far less resilient to chronic stress and far more sensitive to under-fueling, overtraining, and rigid wellness rules.We break down the three hidden stressors that often sabotage energy, metabolism, recovery, and overall well-being:• Under-fueling and its impact on blood sugar, cortisol, and energy• Over-exercising and the hidden inflammatory burden it can create• Over-restriction and the metabolic and mental stress of always trying to be “perfect”You'll learn why these patterns hit harder during midlife, how hormonal changes influence your stress response, and what practical shifts can help you feel better without doing more.If you've been blaming yourself because your old strategies aren't working anymore, this conversation offers a different perspective and a more sustainable path forward.Your body isn't broken. It may simply be asking for a different kind of support.In This Episode:Why total stress load matters more in midlifeThe connection between under-fueling and cortisolHow over-exercising can backfireThe hidden cost of restrictive wellness habitsPractical ways to support your body with food, movement, and recoveryReady to Stop Chasing Wellness and start building a strategy that works with your body instead of against it?

The Precursor hormone DHEA. What it is and what it does, and how to use it correctly.DHEA is an anti-aging supplement. It does give an advantage. It is shown to play a role in improving libido, building muscle, and reducing risks of cardiovascular disease and cancer.To help us to share the health benefits of DHEA we have Hugh Woodward, He is the President of Health2Go, Inc the makers of Twist 25 DHEA cream.Hugh is a subject matter expert on DHEA dedicating the past 20+ years of his life to studying medical research about it, and starting a company to research, and develop the safest most effective DHEA supplement (cream) that can be made and distributed.DHEA is short for dehydroepiandrosterone, it is a naturally occurring prohormone we all make and have. DHEA is the most abundant naturally occurring prohormone in the human body.-A foundation or base building block for other smaller more specific hormones like testosterone and estrogens and about 50 other hormones that are smaller, more specific carbon chain molecules in the cascade of metabolism in the human body.-Hormones drive our energy, mood, muscle tone, fat, quality of sleep, mental sharpness, immune system, sex drive, and more.As a result of aging, and a gradual lowering of natural DHEA production after age 25, many of our natural body processes begin to slow down. As a result, most people start to have less energy and gain weight, have lower sex drive, and tend to start losing their mental sharpness and drive, have trouble sleeping and may start to get sick more often.Learn more at Twist25.com or call Health2Go with questions 1(888)489-4782

In this powerful episode of Confidently Balance Your Hormones, Dee Davidson sits down with Melissa to discuss her remarkable transformation after years of frustration with stubborn weight gain, low energy, and doing everything she thought was "right."Like many women, Melissa believed that exercising more, eating less, and tightening up her diet would lead to weight loss. Instead, the opposite happened. The harder she pushed, the more weight she gained, her energy declined, and she found herself feeling discouraged and disconnected from her body.Everything changed when she stopped guessing and started testing.Through functional health testing and a root-cause approach, Melissa uncovered hidden stressors affecting her metabolism, inflammation levels, gut health, and overall wellness. By addressing the underlying issues instead of chasing symptoms, she was able to release 50 pounds, regain her energy, rebuild lean muscle, and finally feel confident in her body again.In this episode, you'll learn:✔ Why generic weight loss advice often fails women in midlife✔ The hidden stressors that can keep the body holding onto weight✔ How inflammation, gut health, hormones, and stress impact metabolism✔ Why exercising harder isn't always the answer✔ The importance of testing instead of guessing✔ How Melissa transformed her health and body composition naturallyIf you've ever felt like you're doing everything right and still not seeing results, this episode will provide hope, validation, and a fresh perspective on what may really be holding you back.Connect with Melissahttp://melissamedeiros.arbonne.com/Interested in Uncovering Your Hidden Stressors?Schedule a discovery session with Dee Davidson to learn more about functional testing, including GI Stool Testing, hormone evaluation, and root-cause approaches to stubborn weight gain, inflammation, fatigue, and digestive issues.Schedule Here:https://calendly.com/confidentlyloveyourself/15-minute-discoveryMedical DisclaimerThe information shared in this podcast is for educational and informational purposes only and is not intended as medical advice.

What if the reason belly fat won't budge after 40… has nothing to do with willpower—and everything to do with your gut? In this powerful episode, Ben Azadi sits down with Cynthia Thurlow to unpack the real reason women struggle with weight gain, fatigue, and hormonal chaos in midlife. Drawing from her new book, The Menopause Gut, Cynthia explains why perimenopause and menopause are far more complex than just declining estrogen—and why the gut microbiome may be the missing piece most women (and doctors) overlook. They break down how stress, sleep, muscle loss, ultra-processed foods, and hidden hormonal shifts create the perfect storm for weight loss resistance. You'll also discover why common “healthy habits” like excessive cardio, under-eating protein, or over-fasting can actually make things worse. If you've ever felt like your body stopped responding after 40, this episode will completely change how you approach fat loss, hormones, and long-term health.
