What if I told you the biggest threat to your midlife metabolism isn’t your age or your diet—it’s your office chair?


It’s true. Sitting for hours can double your risk for hormone-related metabolic issues in midlife like insulin resistance, fatigue, and stubborn weight gain. Plus, the more you sit, the less motivated you feel to move, leaving you in a cycle of exhaustion and frustration.


In this week’s episode, I’m peeling back the curtain on the hidden hormone damage caused by a sedentary lifestyle and sharing 5 quick tips to get your body--and your metabolism--moving again.


Tune in to learn the answers to some of your most commonly asked questions, including:


✅ How does sitting too much affect hormones?


✅ Is sitting really as bad as smoking?


✅ Can short workouts boost my metabolism in perimenopause?


✅ Is walking enough to lose weight after 40?


✅ What type of exercise is best for hormone balance?


✅ Does strength training help lower cortisol?


✅ Should I exercise every day?


If the only time you got up from your chair today was to reheat your lunch, this episode’s for you.
