In today’s episode, Louise, one of the world’s leading fat loss experts, talks about one of the biggest fat loss mistakes women make—going too hard, too fast—and what to do instead for long-term success. If you've tried every diet, trending supplement, hack or intense workout routines only to gain the weight back, you're not alone. The world is full of conflicting and misleading advice, especially for women in perimenopause.

Louise shares insights from her science-backed approaches to sustainable fat loss, especially as hormones change age 35 and beyond. It’s not about cutting calories to the extreme or burning yourself out with exercise. Instead, it’s about working with your changing female physiology—supporting your metabolism, hormones, energy, and gut health so your body can burn fat and build muscle naturally.

She also walks us through what happens inside her award-winning customized coaching program, from detailed personalized food logs identifying why your unique body is stuck, to a daily nutrition framework that addresses root causes of perimenopause health, hormone and fitness decline, Louise explains why patience and consistency are the real keys to success. Plus, she touches on the importance of sleep, stress management and consistent fitness progression.

If you’re tired of the yo-yo dieting cycle or stuck stubborn fat and want strategies that actually work for your body long-term, this episode is for you. Let’s get you feeling strong, energized, fit, fabulous and confident again!
