High Performance Health

You already know your energy crashes in midlife, but did you know it's tied to your mitochondria and estrogen? In this clip, Liz Earle breaks down the surprising at-home and outdoor habits, including a totally free one, that support cellular energy and may help calm inflammation and cortisol. If you're constantly fatigued and looking for science-backed (not gimmicky) ways to support your hormones, this one's for you.

What You'll Learn

Mineralise Your Morning Water — Adding minerals to your morning hydration may help replace electrolytes and trace minerals, particularly if you drink reverse osmosis or distilled water.

Get Natural Morning Light — Early daylight is one of the fundamental environmental signals that supports your circadian rhythm, energy and mitochondrial function.

Explore Trace Minerals — Fulvic minerals and shilajit as sources of trace minerals and why quality and sourcing matter.

Reconnect With the Earth — Going barefoot outside combines morning light with grounding, an emerging area of research around stress and inflammation.

Focus on the Fundamentals — Before chasing complex protocols, prioritise the basics your body consistently needs: light, hydration, minerals and time outdoors.

Labs read "normal" but you're gaining midsection weight, foggy and running at 70%? Your thyroid - not just perimenopause - may be the missing variable. Dr. Amie Hornaman explains why TSH alone misses the picture, how elevated reverse T3 "pools" and blocks T3 at the cell even when free T3 looks optimal, and why roughly 98% of women don't thrive on T4-only. She links falling progesterone, rising thyroid-binding globulin, low ferritin and the "thyropause" hitting 80-90% of women over 40.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN

Why a "normal" TSH can completely miss a thyroid problem - and the five markers that actually reveal what's happening

What reverse T3 "pooling" is, and how it blocks active thyroid hormone at the cell even when your free T3 looks optimal

Why roughly 98% of women stop thriving on T4-only medication once they're past 40

How falling progesterone drives estrogen dominance, raises thyroid binding globulin, and quietly strands thyroid hormone before it reaches the cell

What "thyropause" is, why it hits 80-90% of women over 40, and how it overlaps with the perimenopause symptoms you're blaming instead

Why testosterone acts as armor against autoimmunity - and what its decline switches on

How low ferritin, insulin resistance and cortisol compound thyroid-driven fatigue and stubborn belly fat

For years, I did everything I was told would help me stay lean. I trained hard, ate well, and stayed consistent but after 50, my body stopped responding the way it used to.

In this episode, I'm sharing the 7 changes that helped me get my flat stomach back at 50 and completely changed how I think about training, nutrition, recovery, and metabolism in midlife. I didn't find a magic supplement or a quick fix. Instead, I made evidence-based changes that helped me build lean muscle, improve my metabolic health, recover better, and finally achieve the body composition I was working so hard for.

If you're a woman over 40 or 50 who's training consistently but not seeing the results you want, I hope these seven changes give you a new perspective and practical strategies you can start applying today.

What You'll Learn

Why changing my strength training approach transformed my body composition.

How short sprint intervals helped improve my fitness and reveal more muscle definition.

Why progressive core training matters for a stronger, more defined midsection.

The role recovery, HRV and sleep play in fat loss and metabolic health.

Why strategically timing carbohydrates after training improved my results.

How focusing on building lean muscle instead of simply losing fat changed everything.

Why spending more time outdoors may support your metabolism, recovery and long-term health.

Longevity expert Dr Florence Comite joins me to explain why testosterone, not estrogen, drives body composition and ageing in midlife women.

Decline isn't inevitable, it's programmable.

She unpacks why low testosterone is likely behind your belly fat, brain fog and low energy from your 30s on, why only a third of us should fast, and the five biomarkers your doctor probably isn't checking fasting glucose, HbA1c, fasting insulin, cholesterol risk ratio and free testosterone that predict where your health span is headed.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN

- Why testosterone (which women carry in larger amounts than estrogen) starts declining in your 30s - and how its fall drives the belly fat, brain fog and low energy that leave you feeling not like yourself

- What "I don't feel like myself anymore" is actually signaling beneath the surface

- How cortisol quietly drives the anxiety-out-of-nowhere, the 2am wake-ups and the stubborn weight around your middle

- Why only a third of women should fast, and the 3-hour glucose test that tells you which third you're in

- The five biomarkers your doctor probably isn't checking, and what they reveal about your risk of diabetes, heart disease and where your health span is headed

Lowering ApoB and non-HDL cholesterol starts with improving how your body clears cholesterol. Michelle recommends reducing saturated fat, replacing it with healthy unsaturated fats, gradually increasing soluble fibre, staying well hydrated, and supporting gut health. As oestrogen declines in perimenopause, maintaining nitric oxide production and healthy blood vessels also becomes increasingly important.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Reduce saturated fat intake.

Replace with omega-3-rich and other unsaturated fats.

Increase fibre gradually to avoid bloating.

Prioritise soluble fibre (oats, raspberries, chia seeds).

Stay hydrated to support cholesterol excretion.

Support nitric oxide production with foods like beets and leafy greens.

Maintain gut health to support both heart health and fibre tolerance.
