What if everything you’ve been told about aging, weight gain, and menopause is only half the truth?

In this empowering episode of Make Peace with Food, Sherry Shaban unpacks one of the most misunderstood blocks to lasting change after 40: the belief systems that silently shape our health and habits.

If you've ever been told that weight gain, fatigue, or declining health is just “part of getting older,” it’s time to question where that story came from—and whether it’s even true.

Sherry dives deep into the real drivers behind stubborn weight and low energy—muscle loss, crash dieting, and unbalanced hormones like cortisol and insulin—not menopause itself.

You’ll walk away with clarity, hope, and a practical game plan that doesn’t involve restriction, calorie counting, or giving up on your body.

Topics Covered:

The hidden power of belief systems—and how to rewire them

Why muscle mass is your metabolism’s secret weapon (especially after 40)

The real reason crash diets backfire in the long run

The two hormones that most affect fat storage (and how to manage them)
