Episode notes
If you're a woman over 40 who can't sleep through the night, wakes up at 2-3 AM with racing thoughts, or feels the urge to fix and optimize yourself before bed—this episode changes everything.
Functional nutritionist Miriam explains why your evening cortisol spikes, how self-correction at night sabotages your blood sugar and hormone production overnight, and what your body actually needs after dark (hint: it's not more discipline).
You'll learn:
- Why nighttime vigilance shows up for women in perimenopause and menopause
- The hidden metabolic cost of "productivity mode" after dinner
- How evening effort blocks melatonin production and cellular repair
- The #1 somatic cue to calm your nervous system before bed
