What if the problem isn’t your discipline… but your metabolism?

If you’re doing “all the right things” but your energy, sleep, or weight still feel off, this episode is for you.

In this week’s conversation, Alex sits down with Dr. Holly Donahue, naturopathic doctor and metabolism expert, to talk about what really changes in the body—especially for high-achieving women navigating their late 30s, 40s, and beyond.

They explore why pushing harder often backfires, how hormones, blood sugar, and the nervous system shape our results, and why appetite suppression alone doesn’t equal metabolic health. This is a grounded, empowering conversation about working with your body instead of fighting it.

In this episode, you’ll hear about:

Why old health strategies stop working after 40
The hidden role of cortisol, sleep, and blood sugar
Why GLP-1 medications don’t “fix” metabolism on their own
How protein, rest, and nervous system regulation change everything

✨ Reflection question:
What would change if you stopped forcing results and started supporting your body?
