300. What Really Works for Women Over 40: Three Essential Lessons

Welcome to the 300th episode of Insatiable! To celebrate this milestone, I’m sharing three essential lessons every woman over 40 should know about health, weight loss, and nutrition in midlife.

After years of making this show and working with real life clients, I’ve seen what actually works for women in perimenopause and menopause—and it’s not counting calories, cutting carbs, or blaming yourself when your body doesn’t respond the way it used to.

Instead, we need to improve the quality of our food, quit punishing ourselves with exercise, and learn how to pivot without triggering our inner-perfectionist.

Want to know more? Tune in and share this one with your friends. These insights will save you so much time, energy, and (maybe even) digestive distress.

Learn about:

• The reality of counting calories and eating less over 40
• Why you need to eat carbs (especially if you can’t sleep)
• How to find joy in exercise (even if you’ve never been consistent!)
• Pivoting into a flexible mindset and prioritizing your health as you age
• Why pushing harder is rarely the answer and there is no perfect plan
