EP 294. How Women Over 40 Lose Weight Faster When They Stop Focusing Only on Food
If you're a woman over 40 who eats well, tracks her food, and still can't lose weight, this episode will change the way you think about weight loss forever. The missing piece has nothing to do with your meal plan — and everything to do with primary food, the one thing the diet industry never talks about.
I'm Jennifer Dent Brown, identity-based weight loss coach for women over 40, and today I'm introducing you to the concept of primary food versus secondary food — and showing you exactly why feeding this first is what finally moves the scale.
What You'll Learn in This Episode
Why discipline is not your problem — and what is actually keeping you stuck
The difference between primary food and secondary food and why it matters more than macros
How declining hormones in perimenopause are silently destroying the relationships that would help you lose weight
The three-step audit that shows you exactly where your real hunger is coming from
Why GLP-1s can't fix the one thing that's driving your emotional eating
