Struggling to lose weight after 40? Feeling like no matter how clean you eat or how much you exercise, the scale won’t budge — especially around your belly? You’re not imagining it. Your metabolism does change in perimenopause and menopause, but the good news is: you can retrain it.
In this episode, I’m breaking down exactly how your metabolism works after 40, what metabolic flexibility is (and why you’ve likely lost it), and how simple daily shifts can help you burn fat for fuel again — naturally, without dieting.
What you’ll learn in this episode: ✅ Why your metabolism slows down after 40 (and what’s really happening) ✅ The difference between burning carbs for energy vs. burning fat ✅ What metabolic flexibility is — and why it’s the secret to easier fat loss ✅ How blood sugar crashes, cortisol spikes, and constant snacking keep you stuck in fat storage mode ✅ 4 simple, effective ways to retrain your metabolism starting today: balanced meals, strategic fasting, walking after meals, and cutting evening snacks
