Research Topic
After 40, the rules change. I'm researching why metabolic shifts make traditional dieting less effective — and what the science says about the blood sugar connection to stubborn weight.
Metabolism
It's not just willpower. Hormonal shifts, insulin resistance, and changes in liver function create a fundamentally different metabolic environment.
Blood Sugar Connection
Elevated insulin drives fat storage. Fat storage increases insulin resistance. How this cycle works and what research says about breaking it.
Liver Health
An overworked liver doesn't just affect blood sugar — it changes how your body stores and burns fat. Here's what the research reveals.
Diet Myths
The "calories in, calories out" model is incomplete. Newer metabolic research points to hormonal signaling as the bigger driver.
I'm reviewing studies on metabolism, blood sugar, and weight management. Articles coming soon. Follow me on Instagram for updates.
