Deprescribing #101 Dr. Teresa Pangan, What Your Energy, Cravings, and Metabolism are Really Telling You
Dr. Teresa Pangan, Before You Add Another Medication: What Your Energy, Cravings, and Metabolism Are Really Telling You (Especially in Midlife)
In this conversation, we explore what your body may be trying to tell you—before adding another medication.
Dr. Teresa Pangan, registered dietitian and nutrition scientist, explains how common struggles like low energy, persistent cravings, and weight changes are often signals—not personal failures. While these patterns can start earlier, many people first notice them in midlife, when the body becomes less forgiving and harder to “push through.”
We talk about how food, stress, sleep, and daily habits shape metabolism, and how learning to read and respond to these signals can help restore energy, improve metabolic health, and support long-term well-being—at any age.
