If your hormones look “normal” on paper but your body still refuses to respond… you might be dealing with high SHBG— one of the most overlooked hormone blockers for women over 40.

In today’s episode, we break down what SHBG actually does, why it skyrockets during midlife, and how it can make you feel tired, puffy, unmotivated, and stuck no matter how clean you eat or how consistent you are.

If you’ve been lifting, walking, eating well — yet still gaining weight or losing muscle — this episode is going to make everything click.

It’s not that your body isn’t trying. It’s that your hormones are getting locked away.

Tune in to learn how SHBG impacts metabolism, mood, libido, and fat loss… and what you can do to open up your fat-burning pathway again.
