Listen Later

If you’ve hit your 30s or 40s and feel like your body’s suddenly working against you, you’re not alone. Many women notice the scale creeping up, even when they’re eating “healthy,” exercising, and doing everything right. In this episode of The Mindset Diet, I break down why this happens and what you can do to take back control.

We’ll dive into the science of hormonal changes, the psychology of this stage of life, and the stress-cortisol connection that can quietly sabotage progress. You’ll also learn the most common myths keeping women stuck and the simple, realistic steps that help you reset your metabolism, reduce stress, and start seeing results again.

This isn’t about quick fixes—it’s about understanding your body, working with it, and finally creating peace with food, movement, and yourself.
