I love Philip Pape’s approach to health, because everything he teaches is evidence-based.

So today he’s joining me on the podcast to unpack a few “trendy” nutrition and fitness topics like fat loss, muscle building, protein, calorie-counting, satiety, GLP-1s and more!

Join us a we explore what’s really going on with health and weight loss — especially for women over forty. And don’t forget that this spring I’m teaching the first and only live round of Your Emotional Eating Blueprint: Why Am I Eating This Now? course, which you can hear more about by getting on my email list here

We discuss:

  • Mindset shifts for health over 40
  • Why Philip uses the term “fat loss” instead of “weight loss”
  • Over-fat vs under-muscled & why that’s a false dichotomy
  • Why crash diets don’t work
  • How Ali shifted her nutrition through perimenopause and menopause
  • Protein’s role in satiety and satisfaction
  • Walking vs running and the importance of sleep
  • GLP-1s and dieting
