The Metabolism and Menopause Podcast

Use Your Labs to Build a Fat Loss Strategy That Works | MMP Ep. 219


Listen Later

You’ve cut the calories. You’ve tried the workouts.

You’ve pushed through exhaustion and cravings—and still, the weight won’t budge.

It’s not your fault.

It’s not your discipline.

And it’s not just age.


⚠️ The truth?

Most women over 40 are stuck in fat-storing mode—not because they’re doing it wrong, but because their hormones, thyroid, blood sugar, and stress signals are screaming for support. And your lab work is the roadmap you've been missing.


EVEN if your doctor says it’s “normal” we look for optimal


Because doctors can’t prescribe you anything until it is out of range


And at that point we are trying to get out of a pretty deep hole.


We want to optimize your health, lab levels and take control before things get worse!


In this free, value-packed webinar, I’ll show you how to:

🔍 Decode the lab markers your doctor might be ignoring🔥 Identify the hormonal blocks to fat loss

🧬 Build a fat-burning plan based on your unique data

💪 Finally feel like your body is working with you again—not against you


If you’re tired of guessing, exhausted by doing “all the things,” and ready for answers that actually change your body—this is the breakthrough you’ve been waiting for.
