You’ve been told to fix your metabolism with diet and exercise — but if that worked, every woman over 50 would already feel lean, strong, and energized.

In this episode of The After-50 Body Freedom Project, psychotherapist and body-freedom coach Kaylee Murphy, LICSW unpacks the truth about why “trying harder” backfires — and how seven hours of sleep can shift your hormones, calm your cortisol, and finally wake up your metabolism.

You’ll learn:
• How sleep deprivation drives fat storage and sugar cravings
• Why stress hormones block fat-burning (even with perfect nutrition)
• The “7-Hour Reset” that helps your body feel safe enough to change

This isn’t another “sleep hygiene” pep talk — it’s real psychology and science for women who’ve outgrown diet culture.

Listen now and remember: you’re only one good night’s sleep away from waking up your metabolism.
