Most weight loss advice sounds scientific. And also... positions you as kind of a dummy who can't figure things out for yourself.
- Should you expect to feel hungry while losing weight?
- Is obesity a disease?
- Should everyone be on Ozempic?
- Do walking pads “count”?
- Are “maintenance calories” even real?
I hear these questions constantly on podcasts and YouTube channels, and honestly, the answers usually tell me more about the coach than the science.
In This Episode
In this episode, I unpack MY values around weight loss, hunger, satiety, GLP-1 medications, walking pads, mini cuts, maintenance calories, and the idea that your body might actually be smarter than the internet gives it credit for.
📌 I have designed a process to help women lose weight and resolve midlife metabolic dysfunction without food tracking.

I’m Erin Power — a women’s weight loss and metabolic health nutritionist with 30 years of experience in women’s health, fitness, and nutrition.
I specialize in helping women 45+ lose weight sustainably, resolve midlife metabolic dysfunction, and finally feel comfortable in their bodies again — without calorie counting, food scales, or obsessive tracking.
I reversed my own prediabetes, abdominal weight gain, brain fog, and metabolic dysfunction in my 40s after doing “everything right” and still feeling terrible.
I know what it feels like to feel stuck in a body that no longer responds the way it used to.
