Gen X Women & Midlife Metabolism: Menopause, Weight Gain, GLP-1s and Aging Well with Lori Eber

On the Gen X Juggler podcast, host Deb interviews Lorie Eber, a metabolic health and midlife wellness educator, about aging well through daily lifestyle choices rather than genetics. Lorie recounts her 23-year career as a corporate litigator, including making partner after a “makeover,” building a successful Southern California branch office, and ultimately leaving law to prioritize relationships and purpose, then spending 10 years in self-discovery that led to aging studies, volunteering as an elder-care ombudsman, and teaching health and wellness courses for 20 years. They discuss midlife weight gain, perimenopause symptoms and lack of menopause education in medical training, the mixed guidance on hormone replacement therapy and newer non-hormonal hot-flash drugs, and how stress, sleep, cortisol, and emotional eating affect metabolism, plus considerations for GLP-1 use such as nutrition, protein, hydration, and strength training. 00:00 Midlife myths intro 01:04 Meet Lorie Eber 01:39 Lifestyle drives aging 02:31 Law career origins 05:05 Makeover to partner 09:40 Building a branch office 12:15 Leaving law behind 16:34 Ten year reinvention 19:26 Aging studies pivot 22:21 Teaching wellness path 23:30 Fitness vs food habits 25:37 Carb Heavy Vegetarian Phase 27:16 Midlife Weight Shifts 28:50 Perimenopause Reality Check 32:02 HRT Options And Confusion 34:17 Stress Sleep And Metabolism 35:26 Cortisol Explained Simply 37:54 After Dinner Snacking Fixes 39:55 GLP-1 Side Effects And Nutrition 42:10 Food Pleasure And Social Life 46:16 Long Term Health Mindset 47:50 Where To Find Lorie Online 48:46 Final Thanks And Wrap Up Links to Lorie Eber: https://www.facebook.com/share/1HMKTK...    / @lorieeber7203   https://www.instagram.com/lorieeber?i... https://www.tiktok.com/@lorieeber?_r=... **Contact Deb Foster for speaking engagements at [email protected] **Want to be a guest on Gen X Juggler Podcast?
