  • Do These 4 Things to Lose Weight After 50
    Jan 5 2025

    In this groundbreaking episode, I'm tackling one of the most frustrating challenges women face during perimenopause and menopause: metabolic changes that seem to happen overnight. Drawing from cutting-edge research and decades of experience, I reveal why that stubborn belly fat appears and - more importantly - the science-backed strategy to reverse it. I'm sharing my four-pillar approach that helps women reclaim their metabolism, build crucial muscle mass, and finally see results. This isn't just another weight loss plan - it's a complete roadmap for understanding and optimizing your midlife metabolism.

    What you'll learn:

    • The real reason your metabolism changes during menopause (hint: it's not just about estrogen)

    • Why traditional calorie restriction often backfires and what to do instead

    • The critical role of protein timing and how much you actually need

    • A game-changing approach to exercise that specifically targets belly fat

    • How sleep quality directly impacts your ability to lose weight

    • The truth about hormone replacement therapy and metabolism

    • Simple daily habits that can boost your metabolic rate
