If you are eating less, trying harder, and still gaining weight after 40, this episode explains why.

I lost 30 pounds in my 30s and kept it off for over a decade. Then perimenopause hit. Weight gain. Muscle loss. Brain fog. Inflammation. And zero answers from traditional medicine.

So I rebuilt my entire approach to weight loss from the ground up.

In this episode, I break down what actually works for women over 40 in 2026 and why most advice is outdated. This is not about more discipline. It is about using the right formula for the body you have now.

Listen if weight loss feels harder than it used to and you want clarity instead of more rules.

• What You’ll Walk Away Understanding
• Why stress reduction matters more than willpower
• Why eating less backfires in midlife
• Why the scale stopped telling the truth
• How muscle protects metabolism after 40
• Why blood sugar drives cravings and energy
• How hormones, minerals, and data remove guesswork
• Where GLP-1s fit and where they do not
• Why sustainable weight loss is an identity shift

One thing this episode will do It will help you stop blaming yourself and start using a smarter approach.

If you’ve ever realized you’re the same weight as last year and thought, “What am I missing?” this episode is your deep breath. I’m walking you through the 4 checkpoints I use with private clients to troubleshoot a stalled scale, without calorie counting, macro math, or food policing. You’ll learn how to tell emotional hunger from physical hunger, how to stop at satisfied (not stuffed), how to end autopilot eating, and how to handle emotions without food. We’re not adding rules. We’re updating identity.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode

• Why it’s usually not what you eat, it’s how and why you eat

• My Satisfaction Scale that ends overeating without restriction

• How BLTs (bites, licks, tastes) keep you stuck and how to stop the drip

• A gentle, four-step flow to get the scale moving again

• Why information isn’t transformation and where coaching fits
