Menopause Is a Metabolic Shift Not a Breakdown | Guest Coach Donna Lamb
Menopause can feel like your body turned against you.
The fatigue.
The brain fog.
The cravings.
The belly fat that appeared out of nowhere.
But what if your body isn’t breaking… it’s shifting?
In this episode of Glucose, Grit & Grace, we’re joined by Guest Coach Donna Lamb, who helps women understand menopause as a metabolic transition — not a personal failure.
We talk about:
* Why menopause changes how your body handles blood sugar
* How declining estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone affect insulin and energy
* Why blood sugar stability is central to reducing symptoms
* How protein, fat, and carbs together (PFC meals) help you thrive
* What you can do NOW — even before perimenopause — to smooth the transition
* How understanding your metabolism restores confidence
Menopause is not the end of vitality. It’s an invitation to fuel differently.
If you’ve been feeling confused, frustrated, or like “nothing works anymore,” this episode will replace blame with clarity — and give you practical steps to feel steady, strong, and capable again.
