I was only meant to chat with Dr Allan Bacon for an hour…

But nearly two hours later, we were still going 🤣

Because when you’re sick of the BS, there’s a LOT to unpack.

We went deep on everything from perimenopause, menopause and hormones, to macros, training intensity, recovery, reverse dieting, and the TRUTH about how to actually lose fat and feel better after 40.

This episode is for the woman who’s:

She was 43, living in an RV, and her body was falling apart.

Kelly had been diagnosed with adrenal fatigue. She had chronic constipation, fibroids, and was told she needed iron infusions.⁣

She’d gained 30lbs.⁣

Her sleep was awful, energy non-existent, and her periods were still painful even after surgery.⁣

And the worst part? She was already trying.

Eating well. Following the basics. Desperate for answers.⁣

That’s when she joined our pro...

Are you being told your only solution is more estrogen?

If you’re in your 40s or 50s, chances are you’ve started experiencing symptoms like:

🔥 Hot flashes

😵‍💫 Brain fog

💤 Poor sleep

💥 Mood swings

💪 Weight gain (especially around the midsection)

And what do most doctors say?

You’re low in estrogen just take HRT.

But what if that’s not the root cause? 

What if it’s not just about low hormones, what if you still have estrogen levels and t...

Irene came to us at 44, a chef, yoga instructor, business owner, and completely overwhelmed.

✔️ She moved her body constantly between the kitchen and yoga, she wasn’t sedentary and felt like she was eating healthy

But here’s what was really going on behind the scenes:

❌ She couldn’t stop gaining weight

❌ Her body felt soft, inflamed, and unfamiliar

❌ Her IUD masked her cycle but the rage, hot flashes, and exhaustion were driving her mad...

You’re doing all the “right” things...

Eating clean.

Exercising regularly.

Skipping sugar.

Still gaining weight. Still exhausted. Still bloated.

🙃 Sound familiar?

Or you’ve tried every diet and now you’re completely confused about what to eat to lose fat, build muscle, and balance your hormones.

If you’re over 40 and feel like your body is fighting against you… this post (and the podcast behind it) is for you.

We’re diving deep into the n...

She was 49, freezing all the time, gaining weight, and feeling totally defeated.

After trying everything from keto and veganism to hormone clinics and Weight Watchers Amanda was told her body was just getting older… and was prescribed thyroid meds and testosterone pellets.

But nothing changed.

She didn’t feel better. She didn’t lose weight.

She just felt stuck.

Then she found us through one of Dan Markham’s posts (@cowseatgrass) and a p...

There was a time I didn’t trust myself.  

A time I constantly doubted my decisions.  

A time I gave away my power to anyone I thought was “smarter” than me.

And honestly, it nearly broke me.

After years of trying to prove I was enough by building a business, running on fear, outsourcing my voice, and chasing endless growth, I hit the wall.  

Business breakdowns, relationship strain, an identity crisis, and a midlife reckoning.

She was 25, inflamed, exhausted, and ready to give up…

Vivian had tried it all, carnivore, fasting, 24-hour fasts, cutting carbs hoping it would finally “fix” her body.

But nothing worked.

Her weight kept climbing. Her periods were painful. Her skin broke out in hormonal acne. And every day at work as a nurse felt like survival.

Then she got diagnosed with Hashimoto’s and things hit a whole new low.

But during a trip to Thailand, after ...

It’s been a minute since we dropped a podcast... and not because we were sipping cocktails on the beach in Thailand (I wish 🤪).

When Marcelle found us, she was 48 and stuck in a cycle of overtraining, under-eating, and constant pain.

She’d cut carbs. Cut sugar. Lived on almond milk, broccoli, tuna, and green smoothies.

Trained 6 days a week, often fasted.

Barely slept. Binge ate on weekends.

And was told by doctors to “just accept” her endometriosis and adenomyosis symptoms.

💭 She was eating 1200 calories

💭 Doing HIIT, boxing, and cardio

Thinking about HRT?

Before you jump on the hormone train, especially if you’re in your 40s or 50s, PLEASE listen to this episode first.

I recorded this with Jay Feldman (@jfwellness), and it’s hands down one of the most important convos I’ve had around perimenopause, menopause, and hormone therapy.

Here’s what we cover (that most doctors aren’t telling you):

I used to think I had a “broken metabolism”...  

Turns out, I just didn’t understand what metabolism actually was.

For years I was tired, cold, bloated, and stuck in a cycle of clean eating, crazy HIIT classes, excessive cardio, and constant restriction then binge eating.  

I thought I was doing everything “right” but my body felt like it was working against me.

Then I discovered a totally different way of looking at health, hormones, ...

Struggling with perimenopausal or menopausal symptoms?

Hot flashes.

Mood swings.

Weight gain.

Insomnia.

Low libido.

You’ve probably been told, “It’s just low estrogen.”

And the fix? HRT..

But what if the problem isn’t low estrogen?

What if the real issue is that your metabolism and thyroid needs support — thanks to years of under eating either intentionally through restrictive dieting or unintentionally, stress, and a body that’s been in su...

When Isha found us, she was 41, a busy working mum, and completely burnt out from trying to “fix” her body. She was doing everything she thought she was supposed to—fasted HIIT 5–6 days a week, barely eating, and constantly chasing results that never came.

Despite her efforts, she felt exhausted, anxious, and stuck in a body she didn’t recognise. Her PMS was debilitating, she couldn’t sleep, her thyroid was struggling, and her docto...

When Magdalena joined us, she thought she just needed to lose 3 kilos.

She was already active, loved running, and doing her best to eat “healthy.” But the fat wasn’t budging, and her body composition didn’t reflect the effort she was putting in. Like many women over 40, she started to believe:

“Maybe this is just what my body looks like now.”

“Maybe I need to run more and eat less.”

“The gym isn’t for me—it’s too intimidating.”

For years, women have been told that creatine is just for bodybuilders. But the reality? It’s one of the most well-researched and effective supplements for muscle growth, metabolism, energy, and even hormonal balance.

⚡ How it fuels your metabolism by improving ATP production and supporting thyroid function.

Think eating less and training more is the only way to lose weight? Spoiler: That’s exactly why you’re stuck. Let’s break it down in this episode.

I sat down with Emmalee—holistic health practitioner, former nurse, and all-around badass—to talk about how so many women are stuck in survival mode, under-eating, over-stressed, and under-muscled.

Most women in their 40's think they need to drastically cut calories, cut carbs, and do more HIIT classes and cardio to lose weight… but this is exactly what’s keeping you stuck.

If you’ve been restricting food, feeling exhausted, and still not seeing results, it’s time to change the approach.

Because the key to breaking free from restrictive diets and actually losing weight for good comes down to two things:

Imagine being in your late 20s, exhausted, bloated, and constantly searching for the answer to your health struggles—only to be told that your body was shutting down.

Ever feel like no matter what you do, the weight just won’t budge? 😩 You’re eating “clean,” working out, and trying to do all the right things—but your body just isn’t responding the way it used to.

Did you know your thyroid plays a massive role in metabolism, fat loss, and overall energy, and if it’s not working optimally, neither will your results.
