59:11

Want to master your hormone balance? Wade Lightheart is back for part two—and we’re getting into the "Menopause Reset Button" strategies to fix the sneaky stuff that quietly wrecks your health in midlife: blood sugar chaos, poor digestion, and terrible sleep.

We talk about why cortisol and insulin can turn menopause into a cravings-and-mood-swings rollercoaster, how enzymes and probiotics help repair your gut health to actually absorb nutrients, and why deep sleep is your ultimate overnight repair system.

If you’re tired of feeling bloated, exhausted, wired-but-tired, or constantly hungry, this episode connects the dots between your gut, your metabolism, your sleep, and your hormones
