You’ve probably been told to cut carbs if you want to lose weight over 40. But here’s the truth: carbs aren’t your enemy — in fact, the right carbs at the right time can be the very thing that re-opens your fat-burning pathways.

In this episode, I’m breaking down:

- Why slashing carbs often backfires in perimenopause & menopause

- How carbs actually support metabolism, thyroid, and muscle

- The real difference between carbs that fuel fat burning vs. carbs that keep you stuck

If you’ve been avoiding bread, fruit, or rice — and still can’t lose weight — this episode will change the way you look at carbs forever.
