If eating less used to work for you - and suddenly doesn't - this episode is for you.

In Part 2 of Eat Like a Woman, Diana Devi explains why female bodies process food differently in midlife and after menopause. This is not about dieting, restriction, or "good" and "bad" foods. It's about understanding how stress, under-fueling, protein, sugar, and alcohol affect female metabolism so you can make informed, intentional choices.

You'll learn why under-eating raises stress hormones, why protein in the morning can stabilize energy and mood, why sugar and alcohol often feel harsher in midlife, and how eating to build a stronger body - not a smaller one - changes everything.

This episode blends real physiology, lived experience, and practical strategies so you can stop fighting your body and start working with it.
