Welcome to another episode of MOJO: The Meaning of Life and Business. In today’s conversation, host Jennifer Glass sits down with Amanda Hinman, functional medicine health coach and bestselling author, whose passion is helping women in their 40s and 50s reclaim their energy, balance their hormones, and overcome challenges like weight gain, brain fog, and gut imbalances.

This episode dives deep into the real impact of what - and how - we eat, unraveling common myths around metabolism, energy levels, and the role of hormones as we age. Amanda Hinman shares why caffeine isn’t the secret to real energy and introduces her simple “PFFV” approach to meals. They’ll also unpack the science behind intermittent fasting, why it might not work the same for women as it does for men, and how stress and mindset play crucial roles in our health transformations.

If you’ve wondered why weight seems to linger around your midsection, feel like you’ve tried it all before without lasting results, or want to break free from the diet cycle and create lasting health, this episode is for you. Join us as we explore practical strategies, the importance of nervous system support, and the shift from “dieting” to real, sustainable nourishment - so you can wake up each day with greater energy, focus, and joy.
