Summary In this episode of the HerRise Podcast for women Over 40, Michelle Hayes (host) discusses the common misconceptions surrounding diets, particularly for women over 40. She emphasizes that traditional dieting methods often fail because they do not account for individual body changes, hormonal fluctuations, and the emotional aspects of eating. Michelle advocates for a personalized approach to nutrition, termed 'bio-individual nutrition,' which respects each woman's unique body and lifestyle. She also highlights the importance of understanding hormonal changes, the impact of sleep and stress on weight management, and the need for empowerment through knowledge about one's body.
