Today we begin Week 2 inside The Longevity Lab, where our focus shifts to blood sugar regulation — and why this becomes increasingly important for women over 40.
As hormones change with age, insulin sensitivity often declines. This isn’t a failure of discipline it’s physiology.
Lower estrogen, higher cortisol, chronic stress, under-eating, poor sleep, and muscle loss all make the body less efficient at handling glucose. Over time, this can show up as:
• energy crashes
• stronger cravings
• stubborn fat storage
• disrupted sleep
• difficulty losing fat despite “doing everything right”
In today’s call, we’ll talk about:
• why insulin resistance is more prevalent in women over 40
• how stress and under-fueling worsen blood sugar control
• the role of muscle and protein in improving insulin sensitivity
• why erratic meals and long fasting windows can backfire for many women right now
• practical ways to stabilize blood sugar without restriction
This week is not about cutting carbs or eating less.
It’s about creating predictable signals your body can trust.
Blood sugar regulation is foundational for:
• fat loss
• hormone balance
• energy
• long-term metabolic health
