Are you over 50 and struggling to lose weight, boost energy, or feel strong in your body? You might think eating less is the solution—but under-eating could actually be holding you back.
In this episode, I break down the three key ways under-eating affects women over 50:
-
How hormonal changes and a slowing metabolism make it harder to lose weight.
-
How blood sugar and insulin swings from eating too little can lead to cravings, fatigue, and belly fat.
-
Why protein is your secret weapon for preserving muscle, supporting metabolism, and feeling energized.
Learn why cutting calories isn’t always the answer and how focusing on the right foods—especially protein—can help you feel stronger, more energetic, and confident in your body.
What you’ll discover in this episode:
-
The surprising role hormones play in your weight and energy after 50
-
How under-eating can sabotage your metabolism and blood sugar
-
Simple ways to get enough protein and calories to support your body

The Brothers Ortiz
The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship.
