80s Diet Baggage & Midlife Metabolism Myths with Sue Page, MNU

In this episode of The FxCK YOU 50s, host Andrea Claire sits down with  pink-haired midlife baddie Sue Page—an MNU Certified Nutritionist, nutrition coach, with absolute zero tolerance for nutrition BS.

If you’ve been told that your metabolism automatically crashed the second you hit perimenopause, or are drawn into the answers for questions you never considered before on "cortisol-dampening", or maybe buying groceries that say ‘added protein’ – added protein ice cream and tequila - perfect! Well, this episode is for you!

 Andrea and Sue tear down the predatory marketing preying on midlife women who grew up marinated in 80s and 90s diet culture. 

Sue shares the science revealing what is actually happening with our metabolism, exposing how messaging like "It's not your fault, it's your hormones" sounds validating on the surface, but secretly strips women of their agency. From the "magic bullet economy" to the boring, highly effective fundamentals of strength training, sleep, and blood sugar management, Sue delivers an honest, evidence-based roadmap to help you stop shrinking, unlearn toxic food noise, and realize you have far more power over your midlife health than you've been led to believe.

Exposing Predatory Marketing: How influencers use validating phrases like "you're doing everything right" to convince women their bodies are broken, only to turn around and sell expensive gut panels, detoxes, and quick fixes.

Separating Compassion from Disempowerment: Why believing "it’s all hormones" strips you of your power, and how to reclaim control through actionable, sustainable habits.

The Unsexy Fundamentals: Cutting through social media noise to prioritize muscle retention through strength training, sleep hygiene, and blood sugar balance over 1,000-calorie diets or supplement stacks.

Unlearning 80s/90s Diet Culture: Overcoming chronic dieting baggage and re-framing midlife shifts with self-compassion, clarity, and evidence-based science.
