113 | Why Weight Loss Won’t Fix Your Metabolism (And What Actually Will)

If you’ve ever thought “If I could just lose weight, I’d feel better” — this episode is for you. In today’s conversation, we’re unpacking the big mistake women over 40 keep making when it comes to weight loss, metabolism, and long-term health.

Weight loss and health are not the same thing. You can shed pounds and still struggle with fatigue, bloating, belly fat, hormone imbalances, and low energy. I’m breaking down a real client story of how extreme dieting and fasting led to temporary weight loss — but left her dealing with constipation, anemia, hot flashes, and blood pressure issues.

We’ll dive into: 👉 Why weight loss alone won’t fix your metabolism 👉 How restrictive diets can trigger fatigue, perimenopause symptoms, and nutrient deficiencies 👉 The key markers you should track daily to support your energy, digestion, hormones, and mood 👉 A simple tool I use with clients to reconnect with their bodies and build a sustainable, healthy lifestyle after 40

Whether you’re in perimenopause, menopause, or just trying to lose stubborn belly fat and boost energy naturally, this episode will give you the truth about what your body really needs — and how to finally break the cycle of yo-yo dieting for good.
