Feeling lost in the maze of hot-flashes, “low-estrogen” headlines and carb confusion after 40? Functional health coach Kate Deering (author of How to Heal Your Metabolism) joins this episode to bust menopause myths—and explain why carbs, not chronic keto, may be the missing lever for hormone balance, thyroid health and lean body-composition.

Whether you’re perimenopausal, post-menopausal, this deep dive gives you actionable tools to regulate blood sugar, restore progesterone, improve sleep and feel strong—without fearing fruit or sourdough.
