Why Diets Stop Working After 40 (And What to Do Instead)

You weren't failing those diets. Those diets were teaching your body to fail you.

Have you noticed that the diets that used to work in your twenties barely move the needle anymore? That you can eat the exact same way you ate five years ago and the scale just sits there and laughs at you? That's not in your head. And it's not a willpower problem.

After years of dieting, especially during perimenopause and menopause, your body adapts to protect itself. Your metabolism slows down. Your hormones get dysregulated. Insulin resistance sets in. And every diet you try just digs the hole a little deeper.

In this episode, I'm walking you through the real reason weight loss gets harder after 40, including:

• The Biggest Loser study that proved your metabolism can stay suppressed for years after a diet ends
• How insulin resistance and cortisol team up to lock fat in place
• Why set point theory means your body will fight you to defend a higher weight
• The cumulative damage of decades of yo-yo dieting
• What actually works instead of dieting (it's not what you've been told)
• Three specific things you can do this week to start healing

If you've been doing everything right and your body still isn't cooperating, this is the episode that's going to put down the shame you've been carrying for years.
