The FIT40 Podcast #312: Why Brain Health Starts in Your 40s & The Real Causes of Midlife Weight Gain w/ Barbie Boules
In this episode of the FIT40 Podcast, I sit down with Barbie Boules, a registered dietitian known as the Cognition Dietitian, to unpack the real science behind midlife health for women. We cover everything from dementia and Alzheimer's prevention, blood pressure and visceral fat, to muscle loss, gut health, and the misconceptions around calories and hormones. If you're navigating perimenopause or just want clear, actionable steps to protect your brain and body, this is the episode you’ve been waiting for. Barbie delivers the kind of practical advice that cuts through the noise and helps you take back control of your health.
