If low carb isn’t working after age 45, you’re not alone—and you’re definitely not doing anything wrong.

In this episode, I break down exactly why low carb stops working after 45, especially during perimenopause and menopause, and what’s actually going on inside your body. If you’ve been eating clean, cutting carbs, and still not seeing results (or even gaining weight), this will finally start to make sense.

We’ll cover:

• How hormonal changes after 45 affect weight loss
• Why low carb can slow your metabolism instead of speeding it up
• The connection between cortisol (stress) and stubborn belly fat
• How cutting carbs can impact your thyroid and energy levels
• Why fibre and gut health matter more than you think
• And most importantly… what to do instead so your body starts responding again

This isn’t about trying harder, eating less, or cutting more foods.

It’s about understanding what your body actually needs now.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, frustrated, and like nothing is working anymore—this could be the missing piece.

In this episode, we’re breaking down the truth behind why your body isn’t responding the way it used to—and why it’s not because you’re doing something wrong.

Your body’s not broken… your weight loss strategy is out-dated.

So many women in perimenopause and menopause find themselves:

Eating less
Trying harder
Doing everything “right”

…and still feeling stuck, frustrated, and confused.

In this episode, I’ll explain:
✔️ Why traditional weight loss strategies stop working after 45
✔️ How hormonal changes (like declining estrogen and increased cortisol) impact fat loss
✔️ Why eating less can actually slow your progress
✔️ What your body really needs instead to start responding again

You’ll also learn simple shifts you can start making right away to support your metabolism, reduce cravings, and finally feel back in control of your body.

If you’re tired of starting over, second-guessing everything you eat, and feeling like your body is working against you—this will help you understand why.

Should you do intermittent fasting as a woman over 45 for weight loss?

If you’ve been told that skipping meals or fasting is the key to fat loss in perimenopause and menopause—but you’re feeling more tired, more hungry, and more stuck—this episode is for you.

In today’s episode, we’re breaking down the truth about intermittent fasting for women over 45 and why it can actually backfire when your hormones are already shifting.

You’ll learn how fasting impacts:

• Cortisol (your stress hormone)
• Blood sugar and insulin response
• Cravings, energy, and metabolism
• Sleep (and why that matters more than you think)

We’ll also talk about why what worked in your 20s and 30s doesn’t always work during perimenopause and menopause—and what your body actually needs instead to support sustainable fat loss.

If you’ve been stuck in the cycle of trying harder, eating less, and still not seeing results… this episode will help you understand why—and what to do differently.

Because your body isn’t broken… it just needs a strategy that works with your hormones, not against them.

Tune in to learn whether intermittent fasting is right for you—and how to approach weight loss in a way that finally feels aligned, sustainable, and effective.
