EP 282. The 2026 Weight Loss Trend Report For Women Over 40 (And What I’m Changing in My Coaching)
If you are eating less, trying harder, and still gaining weight after 40, this episode explains why.
I lost 30 pounds in my 30s and kept it off for over a decade. Then perimenopause hit. Weight gain. Muscle loss. Brain fog. Inflammation. And zero answers from traditional medicine.
So I rebuilt my entire approach to weight loss from the ground up.
In this episode, I break down what actually works for women over 40 in 2026 and why most advice is outdated. This is not about more discipline. It is about using the right formula for the body you have now.
Listen if weight loss feels harder than it used to and you want clarity instead of more rules.
What You’ll Walk Away Understanding:
Why stress reduction matters more than willpower
Why eating less backfires in midlife
Why the scale stopped telling the truth
How muscle protects metabolism after 40
Why blood sugar drives cravings and energy
How hormones, minerals, and data remove guesswork
Where GLP-1s fit and where they do not
Why sustainable weight loss is an identity shift
One thing this episode will do
It will help you stop blaming yourself and start using a smarter approach.
