The Thriving Metabolism: Weight Loss Beyond Diets
The Truth About Popular Diets and Why They Don’t Work for Women Over 40
For women over 40, finding a path to lasting wellness isn’t as straightforward as it sounds.
There’s so much advice out there—whether it’s cutting carbs, trying detoxes, or logging hours of cardio—that it can feel overwhelming to figure out what actually works.
In this episode of The Thriving Metabolism, I’ll break down the biggest myths around weight loss and share why popular methods often don’t deliver the results they promise. We’ll explore how changes in hormones, emotional eating, and a slower metabolism can affect your goals, and most importantly, what you can do instead to find a balanced, realistic approach that truly supports your body.
You’ll also get a preview of my upcoming eBook, Reignite Your Metabolism, and hear some actionable tips you can start using today.
Let’s dive in and discover how to build habits that help you feel great—inside and out.
