Food feels like the only bright spot when life is loud. You are not broken. You are undernourished in pleasure.

EP 277. When Eating Becomes the Highlight of Your Day

Stop. Dieting. Forever.™ is the weight loss podcast that helps women over 40 lose weight for good—without dieting, restriction, or drama. Each episode blends mindset coaching, real-life strategies, and proven tools to help you create lasting results from the inside out.
Rooted in the SHIFT and REINVENT frameworks, this show delivers practical coaching and identity-based mindset shifts that lead to lasting, healthy weight loss. Whether you’ve tried every diet under the sun or simply want to feel better in your body, you’ll find the clarity, encouragement, and strategies you need to finally reach your goals.
Hosted by Jennifer Dent Brown, Certified Health and Life Coach, this podcast helps you heal your relationship with food, build habits that actually stick, and become the woman who naturally keeps the weight off without ever going back to yo-yo dieting.
You’ll learn how to lose weight without dieting or deprivation, and how to stop emotional eating and self-sabotage so you can finally feel in control around food. Jennifer also shares how to balance your hormones and boost your metabolism after 40, build healthy habits that actually last, and shift your identity so you can maintain your results for life.
This podcast provides valuable insights for women in their 40s, 50s, and beyond who are ready to stop dieting, start living, and redefine what lasting weight loss looks like through sustainable, mindset-driven strategies that truly work.
We’ll answer questions like:
<ul>
<li style="font-weight:400;">Why is it harder to lose weight after 40?</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">How can women over 40 lose weight without dieting?</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">What mindset shifts help women keep the weight off for good?</li>

<li style="font-weight:400;">What’s the best exercise or habit routine for women over 40?</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">How do hormones, menopause, or aging affect weight loss?</li>
<li style="font-weight:400;">How long will it take to lose weight and keep it off—without falling back into old diet patterns?</li>
</ul>
