226: Why Midlife Weight Loss Is So Hard — And What Actually Works


Listen Later

OVERVIEW:

If you’re in your late 30s, 40s, or 50s and wondering why weight loss feels harder than ever — this episode is for you. You’re not broken, and it’s not just “getting older.” The truth is, midlife brings real physiological shifts that impact your metabolism, hormones, energy, and fat loss.

In this episode, I’m breaking down exactly why weight loss becomes more difficult in midlife — and what you can do about it. From declining muscle mass and metabolic slowdowns to hormonal fluctuations during perimenopause, I’ll explain what’s really happening in your body.

Plus, I’ll introduce you to my signature framework: the Three Phases of Transformation — Repair, Rebuild, and Results — and how this process helps my clients overcome plateaus, balance their hormones, and finally see progress that lasts.

  • Why midlife weight gain is not your fault — and how to work with your body, not against it

  • How aging impacts your metabolism and what you can do to restore it

  • The hormone shifts that stall fat loss (estrogen, progesterone, cortisol, thyroid)

  • An overview of my 3-phase coaching framework: Repair, Rebuild, and Results

     

    Here’s the thing—there’s nothing wrong with wanting to figure things out on your own, but if you’re tired of trial and error and want a proven, structured plan designed for YOU, it might be time to stop spinning your wheels and get the support you deserve.
