Still tracking your calories and training hard—but the weight won’t budge? You’re not alone. And more importantly, you’re not broken.
In this powerhouse episode, I sit down with leading nutritionist and sports naturopath Kira Sutherland to unpack why fat loss gets harder with age—and what your hormones, metabolism, and muscle mass have to do with it.
We dive into:
✅ Why traditional calorie deficits stop working after 30
✅ The role of stress, cortisol & perimenopause on fat storage
✅ The muscle mass–metabolism connection you must understand
✅ Why so many women are under-recovering (not just overtraining)
✅ Blood testing, bone density, cycle syncing & body composition tracking tips
