Can supplements really help you shed those stubborn midlife pounds? Tune in to this episode of Moving Through Midlife, where we unpack the truth about weight loss supplements and why they should only support—not replace—a balanced diet and regular exercise. I explain how starting your day with a protein-packed breakfast can kickstart your metabolism and how collagen can rejuvenate your skin, joints, and hair. However, the focus remains on how consistent, healthy habits are the cornerstone of real success, rather than relying on a magic pill.
We also explore the critical role of muscle mass in boosting your metabolism and regulating blood sugar levels, essential for effective weight management in midlife. I offer practical supplement recommendations like creatine and collagen to support your journey, emphasizing a holistic approach to health. Don't forget to join our Moving Through Midlife community on Facebook for more insights and support. Remember, it's all about keeping active and fostering sustainable, healthy habits for a graceful transition through midlife.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Today I am going to discuss some supplements that we
can use to help us with weightloss in midlife.
This tends to be one of thebiggest questions I get from
people that are just talking tome.
They find out that I'm apersonal trainer and nutrition
(00:25):
coach and they say, okay, thisis what I'm doing, and they'll
give me a slew of what they'redoing.
These three, four, five thingsI'm doing Is there one thing
that I can do?
Is there something I could taketo help me with weight loss?
So that's what I'm talkingabout today is what supplements
you can take for weight loss.
(00:55):
Let's begin.
Welcome to Moving ThroughMidlife.
I am your host, courtney, apersonal trainer and movement
specialist who wants to help youmove through midlife with more
grace.
Each week, we will discuss wayswe can show up better for
ourselves and our childrenwithout the burnout.
We will focus on overall healththrough habit stacking to help
(01:17):
increase energy, providemovement snacks to help you move
more throughout the day, whilealso moving your body more, and
learn from professionals onmoving through midlife with ease
so that you can feel confidentwith aging.
Gracefully, grab your earbudsand join me on a leisurely walk
while we discuss moving throughmidlife.
(01:42):
Now, if you know me, you knowthat something's not right with
this title.
Okay, so here's the thing Ipromise you this is not
clickbait.
We will discuss somesupplements that you can take,
but I want to define what asupplement is Something that
(02:02):
completes or makes an addition,something that completes or
makes an addition?
So for me, if you're asking mefor a supplement, what I'm going
to say back to you is what areyou doing right now for weight
loss?
Then you can come through andtell me what you're doing and
(02:24):
then remember what is asupplement.
A supplement is that somethingthat completes or makes an
addition.
So for many, you are going toneed to add something in, and
for most people it is exercise,move more or eat healthier.
(02:48):
Those are your supplements.
And, like I said, I promise youI'm not clickbaiting you.
I am going to provide you someinformation.
But if you're not starting there, it doesn't matter what you do
or what you take.
That does not override workingout, exercising and eating
(03:15):
healthier.
There is not a magic pill.
I mean there is.
So we're led to believe rightnow.
Yes, you can do certain thingsif you go see a doctor and you
can take certain things, but itis at a cost.
It is at a cost.
You will lose muscle, you willhave side effects, and that is
(03:41):
where I'm not going to get intothe discussion about it here,
because that is something thatyou would then want.
Not going to get into thediscussion about it here,
because that is something thatyou would then want to speak to
your medical provider, based onyour specific situation.
Okay, so that is not.
(04:05):
I don't can take that is goingto override the importance of
eating your macronutrients andyour micronutrients.
So your protein, fat, fiber Ilike to say fiber, not
carbohydrates, because when wethink carbohydrates we think
white bread, rice, and when wethink fiber, we think fruits and
(04:28):
vegetables.
So eating your macronutrientsand then your micronutrients are
going to be again, they areyour fruits and vegetables,
varying it up, so you're gettingdifferent micronutrients in and
then also your spices and yourherbs, which bring other
micronutrients into your dietand your exercise.
(04:50):
So if you're looking for thatmagic sauce, it really is
getting back to the basics and Iwould encourage you to not look
at this like you have to do itall.
If you can start with one thingtoday and work on that for a
(05:13):
while until it gets to become ahabit.
That's where you should startand you get to choose.
You get to choose.
If that is, you know, I want totake the nutrition aspect or I
want to take the fitness aspect,the exercise aspect, movement
you get to like both, right.
(05:34):
They like to either do theexercise and their diet is
garbage, or they can handleeating the healthy, but then
they don't want to move.
(05:54):
Okay, so that is first andforemost.
If you want to think about asupplement, what are you
currently doing in your life andwhat can you add to it?
Now to start talking aboutthings that we can do to
supplement our diet?
(06:16):
Because that's what.
When we think of supplements,we automatically go to dietary
supplements.
So let's discuss.
So let's discuss.
The first thing that I wouldrecommend is some sort of
protein powder.
The reason I do this is becausemost women are not getting
(06:41):
enough protein in their diet,and I wouldn't even worry about
anything other than yourbreakfast.
If you can get protein in atbreakfast, you are setting
yourself up for a better day.
The one that I prefer is a wheyprotein, but I understand, not
(07:04):
everybody can handle wheyproteins.
I like ProDelicious because ithas very little ingredients.
I'm not an affiliate for themany longer.
They took away their affiliateprogram, from what I can tell,
but I still believe in theproduct.
I will still recommend theproduct because I like it that
(07:24):
much.
The one I like is thestrawberry, if you need to know,
and that is because it has wheyprotein.
It has freeze-driedstrawberries and stevia Three
ingredients.
I do not notice a steviaaftertaste, so just note that as
well.
So just note that as well.
That will help you get moreprotein in.
(07:49):
The other supplement I recommendyou take is a collagen
supplement.
I've talked about this lastweek in I believe it was 156,
four things you can do tosupport aging and midlife.
The reason I recommend collagencollagen is a protein.
(08:15):
It can help with the health ofthe skin, the joints and the
hair and it's very easily.
You can take it very easily.
You can put it in like yourcoffee or tea.
You can put it in a smoothie.
Mine that I currently have adds10 grams to whatever I add it
to of protein, so there is anadditional layer of protein for
your protein needs.
As we get older, our collagenproduction slows, so it is an
(08:40):
opportunity to start addingcollagen in.
Start adding collagen in.
You can choose to eat collagennaturally when you are eating
like chicken skin, fish skin,things like that or like a beef
broth Any kind of bone broth isgoing to help you get more
collagen in.
A lot of the collagen that weeat, unfortunately, has become
(09:06):
stripped due to the supposedhealth benefits.
We take off the skin.
We no longer have chicken onthe bone.
You know like we've depletedall the nutrients from that
chicken breast.
So and yes, it does come withfat as well but when we pull all
(09:27):
that off, we're losing some ofthese supplements, these
ingredients that we wouldnaturally get in our diet.
So we are now supplementing.
So if you want to do it morenaturally, start looking at fish
skin, chicken skin, bone broth,things where you're eating more
of the ligaments, chicken wings, all of those things where
you're eating more of theligaments.
You know, chicken wings, all ofthose things where you're
(09:47):
starting to eat more of the meat.
For those of you who may not eatfish and beef and things like
that, there are ways that youcan get collagen because you're
not going to probably want totake those supplements.
So first understand thatcollagen is produced from amino
(10:13):
acids, so you will want toensure that you're eating enough
protein.
So beans and if you eat eggs,eating eggs and, for those of
you who also eat fish, makingsure you're getting plenty of
those, because that's going tohelp with production of collagen
naturally in the body thethings that you can do to stave
(10:36):
off the degradation of thecollagen.
So you know, we do createcollagen based on the amino
acids that we're eating, andthen certain foods will not
allow for turnover of collagenproduction, so it degrades
(10:57):
collagen is what I'm trying tosay, and so that's going to be
like excessive drinking.
So alcohol decreases thecollagen production.
Sugar and ultra-processed foodscontribute to a process called
glycation, which reducescollagen turnover.
(11:19):
Excessive sun exposure alsodegrades collagen production,
and then, if there's any smokers, that would also as well.
You also need to make sure thatyou're eating plenty of vitamin
C rich foods, because they willalso support healthy collagen
production as it helps with thecollagen synthesis.
(11:41):
So if you're eating your beansand your eggs and things like
that, you also want to havevitamin C with it.
So citrus, things like thatwill help with the collagen
synthesis.
And then eating lots of greensthat's going to help decrease
inflammation.
The more inflammation you havein the body, the more collagen
(12:05):
degradation that occurs.
So you know it's going back toalways going back to eating more
fruits and vegetables in yourdiet.
They're going to help.
In addition to finding ways toadd protein and, like a protein
(12:26):
powder, the collagen, if youchoose to use collagen and then
the other one, the othersupplement that I highly
recommend is creatine.
Creatine helps your musclesproduce energy during lifting
and exercise.
Creatine is a substance foundnaturally in our muscle cells
(12:51):
and it helps our muscles produceenergy during lifting and high
intensity exercises.
When you take creatine, ithelps your body produce ATP, and
ATP is this.
It provides your body theenergy to keep going.
(13:11):
So perform better exercise,whether it be strength or
intensity.
Decide that.
If you decide you want topurchase creatine, I would
recommend creatine monohydrate.
It is very inexpensive andthere are hundreds of studies on
this, so it is a safe product.
(13:33):
There is a research study backin 2019 on creatine and the
effectiveness of it on agingmuscle and bone and the focus on
fall prevention andinflammation.
This research talks aboutsarcopenia and how, as we get
older, we deal with a reductionof bone mass and bone strength,
(13:57):
which increases our risks offalls and fractures, and it
shared the information that,with or without resistance
training, if you are adding acreatine supplement into your
diet, and it found that itincreases aging muscle in the
(14:18):
upper and lower body evenwithout the resistance training.
It also states that in somepeople they found that it
affected the activation of cellsinvolved in both bone formation
and resorption, so they had adecrease of bone density.
(14:40):
Now, it was not in allparticipants, but it was in some
, so that was an interesting bitof information as well.
And then it also stated that itprovided anti-inflammatory
(15:02):
effects during times of elevatedmetabolic stress, such as
intense aerobic exercise, whichis great, because for those of
you that enjoy those classes,you know your cycle classes,
your orange theory, your morehigh intensity boot camp style
classes these are going.
If you take creatine, it canhelp reduce that inflammation
(15:25):
that occurs.
So we know that inflammation isa natural response to exercise.
The problem is is, when we'redoing all these different things
that are increasinginflammation, that it then
starts to have an effect on ouroverall cortisol levels.
So by taking creatine, itreduces the inflammation that
(15:50):
occurs when doing these types ofexercises.
So a big shout out to creatine.
I definitely think that thiswill help.
And how does this all so?
How does the protein powder,the collagen and the creatine
help with weight loss?
Well, protein and collagen.
(16:11):
If we do both of those togetherthe protein powder and the
collagen they both have protein.
When you add protein into yourdiet, as long as you're not
adding and both of these don'thave fat or sugars in them, so
they are just the protein.
So therefore, you are notgetting any added fats or
(16:32):
carbohydrates, you are justgetting the protein.
That is going to help withsatiety, so you will feel fuller
longer If you start out yourday with more protein.
That's going to keep you fullerlonger.
It's going to help your bloodsugar stay more stable, so
you're not going to be on thatroller coaster ride of trying to
(16:55):
eat all kinds of sweets becauseyou're craving sweets now
because your blood sugar isunstable unstable.
This will help with that.
The creatine is going to helpyou two things.
It's going to help you get abetter workout when you lift
weights, because you're going tofeel stronger and you might be
(17:19):
able to go harder when you'redoing your higher intensity
workouts.
Think about what I usuallyrecommend.
I don't recommend doing a lotof those classes, but if you're
going to do those or sprintdrills, doing a couple of times
a week is okay One to two timesa week, depending on where you
(17:39):
are in the phase of your cycleand that will help with the
recovery and a decrease ofinflammation.
The more muscle that we have onour body, the better our
metabolism is.
It also helps with blood sugarlevels as well, because muscle
(18:03):
pulls glucose from the blood.
So therefore, you're not goingto be dealing with as much
glucose from the blood.
So therefore you're, you know,not going to be dealing with as
much glucose in the blood, whichincreases the insulin.
Insulin is always thatmidsection weight gain.
So those are the things that Irecommend.
See, I told you this was notclickbait, I was going to get
(18:26):
there.
I got there.
I gave you three supplementsthat you can start adding into
your diet to help to help youwith weight loss or to help you
work on leveling yourself out.
I don't always think of thingsas weight loss I don't think we
should always think about itthat way, but more about
(18:47):
maintenance helping us livehealthier right now, stay where
we're at, try not to gain weightunless that is a goal of yours
but to really kind of stay leveland work on our overall health.
So those are the threesupplements I recommend and I
(19:09):
hope you enjoyed.

(17:19):
able to go harder when you'redoing your higher intensity
workouts.
Think about what I usuallyrecommend.
I don't recommend doing a lotof those classes, but if you're
going to do those or sprintdrills, doing a couple of times
a week is okay One to two timesa week, depending on where you
(17:39):
are in the phase of your cycleand that will help with the
recovery and a decrease ofinflammation.
The more muscle that we have onour body, the better our
metabolism is.
It also helps with blood sugarlevels as well, because muscle

pulls glucose from the blood.
So therefore, you're not goingto be dealing with as much
glucose from the blood.
So therefore you're, you know,not going to be dealing with as
much glucose in the blood, whichincreases the insulin.
Insulin is always thatmidsection weight gain.
So those are the things that Irecommend.

(18:26):

I got there.
I gave you three supplementsthat you can start adding into
your diet to help to help youwith weight loss or to help you
work on leveling yourself out.
I don't always think of thingsas weight loss I don't think we
should always think about itthat way, but more about
(18:47):
maintenance helping us livehealthier right now, stay where
we're at, try not to gain weightunless that is a goal of yours
but to really kind of stay leveland work on our overall health.
So those are the threesupplements I recommend and I
