Midlife Nutrition and Hormones with Carol Covino In this episode, I sit down with Carol Covino to expose the nutrition and lifestyle habits that hold women back in midlife, and how to turn them around quickly. We cover why protein is non-negotiable for muscle, metabolism, and energy, how alcohol impacts fat loss and brain health, and what’s really hiding in those “healthy” packaged snacks. Carol and I also dive into hormone shifts during perimenopause and menopause, the truth about cardio overload, and how to structure strength training that actually works for this stage of life. We talk sleep, movement, and the adjustments that make the biggest difference when nothing else seems to be working. If you want clear, practical steps for tackling brain fog, belly fat, and stubborn weight while supporting your hormones, this episode gives you the blueprint.
