About This Episode
Why does weight gain feel inevitable after 40? In this episode, Dr. Beverly Yates and Dr. Betty Murray, PhD, reveal the biological “fat switch” that turns on as estrogen declines. If you’ve been told to “eat less and move more” but the scale won’t budge, it’s because your body may have entered a “hibernation state” driven by rising uric acid levels and mitochondrial slowing.
In this episode, you will learn

The truth about the “starvation response” and why your liver makes sugar even on a low-carb diet.
