25. Why Is It So Hard to Lose Weight After 40? A TCM Approach

Have you been doing all the same things that used to work for weight loss, but nothing seems to budge anymore?

In this episode, I share a different perspective on weight management after 40 through the lens of Traditional Chinese medicine. Instead of adding more rules, restrictions, and things to do, what if we started by nourishing our bodies, supporting rest, and building strength?

In this episode:

• Why the old approaches to weight loss may not work the same way after 40

• How a TCM-informed perspective emphasizes nourishment and balance

• Three simple places to start: food, rest, and movement

• Why small, sustainable habits can make a difference

Scripture connection: 1 Corinthians 6:19–20, caring for our bodies as a way to honor God.

This week's challenge: Choose one small habit that helps you nourish your body, rest, or build strength. Start there.

If this episode encouraged you, share it with a friend who may need a fresh perspective on weight loss after 40.

Live how God intended through holistic healing.
