Today I\u2019m joined by Emily Kaplan, co-founder of MetFix and the Broken Science Initiative, and we\u2019re pulling back the curtain on what\u2019s actually going on with midlife health, metabolism, hormones, and why the old advice is failing so many women.   We talk about why trainers often know more about your real health than doctors, how insulin quietly drives weight gain and fatigue, and why eating less and moving more can backfire hard in midlife.   This is one of those conversations that makes everything finally click.
