Are you eating healthy, cutting calories, and trying harder than ever… yet still gaining weight after 40?

In this episode, Lara breaks down why eating less after 40 can actually slow your metabolism, increase stress hormones, worsen cravings, and make weight loss harder — especially during perimenopause and hormonal shifts.

If you feel like:

• your metabolism is slowing down
• your body isn’t responding the way it used to
• you’re exhausted, bloated, and frustrated
• you’re doing everything “right” but still gaining weight
• you’re constantly thinking about food or craving sugar
• you feel stuck in a cycle of restriction and burnout

…this episode is for you.

You’ll learn:

• why chronic dieting and under-eating can backfire metabolically
• how stress and cortisol impact weight gain after 40
• signs your body no longer feels safe
• why nutrient deficiencies can affect thyroid health, energy, hormones, and blood sugar
• how metabolism adapts during long-term restriction
• why many women gain weight despite eating very little
• how to support metabolism naturally after 40
• the connection between nourishment, nervous system regulation, and sustainable weight loss

Lara also shares why healing your metabolism is about so much more than calories in/calories out — and how supporting your body properly can improve energy, sleep, cravings, mood, and your relationship with food.

If you’re struggling with belly fat after 40, slow metabolism, perimenopause weight gain, hormonal imbalance, exhaustion, emotional eating, or feeling stuck despite healthy habits, this episode will help you understand what may really be happening in your body.
