In today’s deep dive, I’m breaking down the science of menopause belly fat and sharing game-changing strategies that actually work.

But armed with the latest research, I’m revealing why your daily movement patterns matter more than you think, the surprising impact of protein timing on fat loss, and how simple strategies like cold exposure can help activate fat-burning pathways. I’m also sharing critical insights about hormone replacement therapy and why it could be the missing piece in your metabolic puzzle.

Dr. Bush shared groundbreaking insights about how our disconnection from nature has led to chronic disease, and more importantly, how we can reverse this through simple, powerful reconnections with the natural world. His message of hope – that we can restore our health and the planet’s wellbeing through embracing nature’s intelligence – couldn’t come at a more critical time for women seeking genuine, sustainable wellness solutions.
