Fit and Fabulous at Forty and Beyond with Dr Orlena

Why you’re not losing weight after 45 (and what actually works now)


Listen Later

Are you eating healthy and exercising, but the scale refuses to budge?

In this episode, Dr. Orlena reveals why everything that worked in your 20s and 30s suddenly stopped working—and it's not your fault. Your body fundamentally changed, and nobody told you the new rules.

Through the story of "Kate," a frustrated 50-year-old who suddenly gained abdominal weight despite living healthily, Dr. Orlebna unpacks the biological reality of perimenopause and menopause that's sabotaging your efforts.

In this episode, you'll discover:

  • Why your body turned against you: How declining estrogen triggers four interconnected "fat begets fat" cycles—from muscle loss and insulin resistance to heightened cortisol sensitivity and gut biome changes—that make abdominal fat almost inevitable without intervention
  • The hidden key nobody talks about: Why mindset isn't just motivation fluff but the determining factor between giving up in frustration and confidently navigating the journey, especially when progress is happening but invisible
  • The four-pillar system that actually works: How to reverse these hormonal mechanisms without deprivation through strategic nutrition, intensity-focused exercise, sleep optimization, and stress management that matches your body's new reality

If you're tired of feeling frustrated, overwhelmed, and betrayed by your body, this episode will help you move from confusion to clarity and from self-sabotage to confidence.

It's time to stop fighting your body and start working with it.
