Is your metabolism slowing down after 40? You’re not imagining it. Weight gain, stubborn belly fat, low energy, and disrupted sleep are all signs your metabolism and hormones have shifted—and sometimes, the very things you do to “fix it” are actually making it worse.

In this episode, I’m breaking down the 3 common mistakes women over 40 make that slow down metabolism—and what to do instead so you can finally lose weight, boost energy, and feel like yourself again.

Here’s what you’ll learn today:

• Why focusing only on diet and exercise leaves your metabolism stuck

• The real reason cutting calories doesn’t work anymore (and what to do instead)

• Why one-size-fits-all plans like Weight Watchers, keto, or fasting don’t work after 40—and how to create a plan that’s right for your body now

You’ll also walk away with practical tips you can start using today, like how to improve your sleep rhythm, the best way to time your meals for fat loss, and why your metabolism needs more than just diet and workouts.

Struggling with weight gain after 40, stubborn belly fat, poor sleep, or constant stress? It may not be your willpower—it’s cortisol, your body’s main stress hormone.

In this episode of [Podcast Name], I’m breaking down how stress, sleep, and cortisol are deeply connected—and why high cortisol keeps women in perimenopause and menopause tired, anxious, and stuck at their weight despite eating healthy and exercising.

Here’s what you’ll learn today: ✅ The link between cortisol, sleep, and fat storage (especially belly fat) ✅ Why poor sleep raises cortisol—and high cortisol ruins sleep in a vicious cycle ✅ How hormone changes after 40 (declining estrogen, progesterone, and melatonin) make you more sensitive to stress ✅ The hidden ways cortisol slows your metabolism, increases cravings, and blocks fat loss ✅ A simple breathing exercise you can use anytime, anywhere to calm cortisol, reset your stress rhythm, and support fat burning

If you’re frustrated by menopause weight gain, fatigue, or restless nights, this episode will help you understand what’s really going on inside your body—and give you a practical tool you can use today to start seeing change.
