"The Truth About Metabolism, Weight Gain, and What Actually Works"

Let’s talk about something that’s been drilled into us for decades: eat less, move more.

It sounds simple, right? But for so many women—especially in midlife—that formula not only stops working, it backfires.

In today’s episode, we’re digging into the real root causes of weight gain—the ones that go beyond willpower and calories—and exposing the damaging myth that you can simply out-diet or out-cardio your way to health.

We’re asking the tough questions:
→ Can you actually destroy your metabolism?
→ What happens when your body adapts to “eat less, exercise more”?
→ Why does it feel harder to lose weight—even when you're doing everything right?
→ how does resistance training fit into the bigger picture of health, hormones, and long-term fat loss?

We’ll also talk about how to repair your metabolism, what that really means, and why it’s not just a “one-and-done” reset—but a commitment to fueling, moving, and treating your body the way it was designed to be cared for.

If you’ve ever felt like your body is working against you… this episode is your invitation to stop fighting it—and start working with it.
