Eating healthy, exercising, and still not losing weight after 40? If you're struggling with stubborn belly fat, unexplained weight gain, bloating, fatigue, sugar cravings, or poor sleep during perimenopause or menopause, your hormones may not be the whole story.

You may be doing everything you think you're supposed to do—eating healthy, exercising regularly, and trying to make better choices—yet the scale won't budge. So what's really going on with your metabolism after 40?

In this episode of Master Your Metabolism After 40, Registered Holistic Nutritionist Lara Frendjian explains 5 interconnected metabolic systems that may help explain why weight loss becomes more challenging for women over 40, even when they're eating well.

You'll discover:

• Mineral Balance: Why minerals like magnesium, potassium, and zinc matter for energy, blood sugar regulation, and hormonal health.

• Hormonal Health: How perimenopause, menopause, estrogen, progesterone, and thyroid hormones can influence weight, sleep, mood, and metabolism.

• Digestive Health: Why bloating, constipation, and poor digestion may be important clues when you're struggling with weight loss.

• Stress, Cortisol & Sleep: How chronic stress, poor sleep, under-eating, and inadequate recovery can affect your metabolism and energy.

• Insulin Sensitivity: How blood sugar regulation and insulin resistance can influence cravings, fatigue, and abdominal weight gain.

You'll also learn why these five systems cannot be addressed in isolation—and why eating less, exercising more, or following another restrictive diet may not be the answer you've been looking for.

If you're tired of blaming your age, your hormones, or your lack of willpower for stubborn weight gain, this episode will help you look at your symptoms through a different lens.
