Which is better for midlife weight loss: Keto? Carnivore? Optavia?

It’s a question I get asked all the time—especially in the summer, when the pool invites start rolling in… and you’d rather melt in leggings than show up in a swimsuit.

The truth is: If your hormones are out of whack, none of those diets are going to get you very far.

Because losing weight in midlife isn’t just about cutting calories—it’s about calming cortisol, balancing insulin, and avoiding the foods that are secretly stalling your fat loss.

In today’s episode, I’m peeling back the curtain on the exact elimination diet I use with my clients to identify food triggers, calm inflammation, and finally make weight loss feel doable again

In this episode, we’ll unpack:

✅ What’s the connection between food and hormone imbalance over 40?

✅ How do I know which foods are triggering my hormone imbalance?

✅ What are the signs a food is disrupting my hormones?

✅ Can food sensitivities cause weight gain in midlife?

✅ Why does my weight fluctuate so much after eating certain foods?

✅ Can elimination diets help balance hormones naturally—without medication?

✅ Can an elimination diet fix my slow metabolism in midlife?

✅ What is the best elimination diet for perimenopause?

If you’ve ever tried quitting carbs and sugar only to still feel bloated, inflamed, and stuck at your same weight—this episode is for you. 🎧
