Untangling midlife food confusion with Dr. Jenn Salib Huber

Should women over 40 shun carbs, practice intermittent fasting, or max out our protein? What are "hormone-balancing foods," is "metabolic flexibility" really a thing, and are insulin spikes as scary as they sound? And why does it suddenly feel so complicated to simply put food on our plates once we hit midlife? In this episode I talk with Dr. Jenn Salib Huber, a registered dietician, naturopathic doctor, and intuitive eating advocate who educates midlife women on supporting their health and hormones with non-restrictive eating, about just why our midlife food mentality can get so messy - and how to untangle it all. I also share what I've discovered about my own approach to food and diet mentality after taking a few months completely "off" of counting calories, tracking macros, or restricting my eating. OUR FEATURED PARTNERS:Comfortable and fashion-forward, Vionics are stylish self-care for your feet. Shop their collection of boots and booties for fall, like the Regan (pictured at left) and be sure to use code REINVENT15 for 15% off your order at VionicShoes.com.Happy mornings start with healthy sleep routines.
