I am so excited to be here and get started! Merry Christmas! And God bless!

Does anyone else feel like their body suddenly stopped following the rules in midlife? I was reviewing some research on Epigenetics this morning, and I wanted to share a visual that helps me when I feel frustrated with my own symptoms. Imagine your Genetics are a Cookbook. You can't change the recipes inside (your DNA). But your Lifestyle is a pack of Sticky Notes. You get to decide which recipes get cooked. - High stress? That puts a sticky note on the "Store Belly Fat" recipe. - Poor sleep? That puts a sticky note on the "Brain Fog" recipe. - Nutrient dense food? That puts a sticky note on the "Radiant Energy" recipe.  Why this matters: It means you aren't a victim of your age. You are the Editor of your experience. We don't have to overhaul our whole lives overnight. We just have to change one sticky note at a time. 👇 DISCUSSION: If you could place a "DO NOT COOK" sticky note on one symptom right now, which one would you choose? 1. Brain Fog  2. Belly Fat  3. 3 AM Insomnia  Let me know in the comments! Which area are you struggling with you want more information about?

Last week, we uncovered the truth about the "Menopause Metabolic Code" ~ and why your metabolism has slowed to a crawl (it's not your fault!). This week, we start building it back up. If your muscle is your "metabolic engine," then the nutrient in this week's blog post is the high-octane fuel. This blog is Part 2 of "Reversing the Midlife Metabolic Shift." We are talking about Protein and Insulin Resistance, and why your needs are higher now than ever before. If you're "too exhausted to work out" or frustrated by cravings, this post is for you. In this new post, you will discover: - The exact daily protein target you should be aiming for (it's higher than you think). - The "30-Gram Anabolic Signal": Why when you eat protein is just as important as how much. - The "Fiber Fix": Your secret weapon for stabilizing blood sugar and taming cravings. - A caution on Intermittent Fasting and why it can backfire if you're already stressed. This is the key to building your metabolic engine and feeling strong again. Read it here: https://www.12steps2radiance.com/blog/reversing-the-midlife-metabolic-shift-2 Post your questions! Let's get those answered.

I was thinking about you all this morning. I know how lonely 3:00 AM can feel when you are exhausted but awake ~ throwing the covers off one minute because you’re roasting, and pulling them back on the next because you’re freezing. If you woke up feeling drained today, I want to remind you of one thing: You aren’t "bad" at sleeping. You aren’t doing it wrong. Your internal thermostat (the hypothalamus) is just misfiring a bit right now. It thinks you’re overheating when you aren't, so it triggers a "flush" to cool you down, and that is what wakes you up. I don't want you to just "live with it." I recently uploaded my full Sleep Rescue Protocol into the Classroom for you. It includes the specific fabrics, evening routines, and cool-down tricks to help dampen that signal so you can actually stay asleep. 📍 Where to find it: 1. Go to the Classroom tab. 2. Click on the "Menopause Symptom Guide Card". 3. Look for the Sleep Module. (I even pinned a video at the top of the community showing you exactly how to navigate there if you get stuck!) Question for you: On a scale of 1-10, how was your sleep last night? (1 = I stared at the ceiling all night, 10 = I slept like a rock). Drop your number below. 👇
