Label Reading in Midlife: “Healthy” Foods That Backfire

If you’ve ever stood in your kitchen holding a food labeled organic, gluten-free, or naturally sweetened and wondered why you’re still tired, bloated, or gaining weight—this episode is for you. In this main episode of Midlife and Glowing, Alicia and Nicole break down one of the most confusing (and frustrating) parts of midlife wellness: why foods that sound healthy can quietly work against your energy, blood sugar, hormones, and metabolism in perimenopause. You’ll learn why the rules around food change in midlife, how estrogen shifts impact insulin sensitivity, and why blood sugar stability matters more now than ever. The conversation walks you through simple, non-obsessive label reading strategies and exposes common "health" foods that may be contributing to fatigue, cravings, mood swings, and weight gain—without you realizing it. From breakfast foods and smoothies to nut butters, dried fruit, dates, and packaged snacks, this episode gives you clarity without restriction. This isn’t about perfection—it’s about awareness, alignment, and choosing foods that actually support your midlife body. If you’ve been saying “Nothing I used to do works anymore”, this episode will help it all finally make sense. ⏱️ Chapters / Timestamps: 00:00 Why “Healthy” Foods Stop Working in Midlife 02:00 Hormonal Shifts, Insulin & Changing Food Rules 04:10 Why the Front of Food Packaging Misleads You 06:00 Food Label Reading Basics Every Midlife Woman Needs 08:30 Hidden Sugars, Seed Oils & Artificial Sweeteners 11:30 Breakfast Foods That Spike Blood Sugar 15:00 Oatmeal, Granola, Yogurt & Bread Explained 18:45 Nut Butters, Dried Fruit & Portion Confusion 22:15 Fruit, Dates & Blood Sugar Pairing Mistakes 25:30 Smoothies: How to Build Them for Midlife Metabolism 29:00 “Healthy” Packaged Snacks & Chips 32:30 Label Reading Recap, Balance & Next Steps 📌 Resources 🥗 Nutrition Counseling with Daily Glow → visit.berrystreet.co/providers/Nicole-Maholy 📖 Blog: The 4 Worst Artificial Sweeteners → https://dailyglowlife.com/dangers-of-... ✨ Daily Glow Rituals Guide → https://stan.store/thedailyglowlife/p... ✨ Subscribe to Midlife and Glowing for weekly tips on midlife health, perimenopause wellness, and style with substance.
