Listen Later

Tara kicks off this episode with a powerful message about the dangers of pursuing the "skinny fat" ideal in midlife.

She shares insights into why fixating on the number on the scale can be detrimental to women's health and introduces an alternative approach that promotes overall well-being.

 

In this episode, you'll discover:

  • The importance of prioritizing metabolic health over chasing a specific weight.
  • How strength training in midlife can transform your body composition and support overall health.
  • The role of adequate protein and carbohydrates in building muscle and maintaining metabolic health.
  • Why excessive fasting and calorie restriction can backfire in the long run.
  • How to reframe your mindset around weight and body composition to feel confident and strong in midlife.
