Are you over 40, eating less, and still gaining weight? You’re not broken—it’s insulin resistance, and it’s sabotaging your metabolism. In this episode, I break down why starving yourself won’t work and what actually flips the switch so your body can burn fat instead of storing it.

I’m Lara, a Holistic Nutritionist, and I’ve helped women in their 40s, 50s, and 60s finally lose stubborn weight—even when traditional dieting failed. One client lost 15 pounds at age 65 without extreme restrictions, just by targeting insulin resistance and balancing her hormones.

You’ll learn:

• 🧠 Why eating less fails after 40 — the suitcase analogy explains why your body stores fat even on low calories.

• ⚠️ The “Over 40” trap — how perimenopause and cortisol spike insulin, making fat loss nearly impossible.

• 🧩 3 actionable steps to flip your fat-burning switch

  1. The 12-Hour Reset — give your body a nightly insulin break.

  2. Stop the ‘healthy’ grazing — protein-forward meals keep you full and lower insulin.

  3. Front-load your carbs — eat carbs when your insulin sensitivity is highest.

Plus, I share why jumping into cleanses or strict diets too soon can backfire—and how to repair your metabolism for lasting results.

If you’re ready to stop “trying harder” and finally lose weight, boost energy, and balance hormones after 40, this episode is for you.

If you’re a woman over 40 who is eating “clean,” working out, and doing all the right things — yet the scale keeps creeping up — this episode will completely change how you understand your body.

In this episode, Lara reveals the #1 hidden reason many women gain weight in perimenopause and menopause — and why it has nothing to do with not enough protein or too many carbs.

You’ll learn:

• Why hormonal shifts after 40 make weight loss harder — even for women who eat well

• How hidden micronutrient imbalances (like magnesium, potassium, copper, and iron metabolism) can slow your metabolism and drive stubborn belly fat

• Why stress, sleep, and soil depletion can quietly create mineral deficiencies that sabotage fat loss

• Common signs your body may be missing key nutrients (fatigue, cravings, brain fog, palpitations, bloating, constipation, and poor sleep)

• The first step Lara takes with every client inside her Metabolic Mastery program to restart fat loss, improve energy, and calm hot flashes

This is not another diet episode. It’s a root-cause look at why your body may be resisting weight loss — and how to begin fixing it from the inside out.

If you’ve been frustrated, confused, or blaming yourself for slow weight loss after 40, this episode will help you make sense of what’s really happening in your metabolism.

👉 Perfect for women in perimenopause or menopause who want sustainable weight loss, better sleep, balanced hormones, and steady energy — without extreme dieting.

If you’re doing “all the right things” — eating healthy, exercising, even trying fasting — but the scale won’t budge after 40, this episode will finally explain why.

Weight loss after 40 is not about willpower or discipline. It’s about understanding the hormonal, metabolic, and lifestyle shifts that happen in perimenopause and menopause — and adjusting your approach accordingly.

In this episode, I break down the 8 root causes that quietly sabotage metabolism in women over 40, even when calories and workouts look “perfect” on paper. These are the same root causes I see over and over again in my private coaching practice.

This episode is your metabolic roadmap — and it kicks off an 8-week deep-dive series where we’ll address each pillar step by step.

• Why weight loss after 40 feels harder — even when you’re eating less and exercising more

• How declining progesterone, erratic estrogen, and rising cortisol drive belly fat and insulin resistance

• Why bloating, IBS, reflux, and food sensitivities block fat loss

• The biggest diet mistakes women over 40 make (and why under-eating backfires)

• How poor sleep directly slows metabolism and increases cravings

• Why more HIIT and intense workouts can actually stall weight loss after 40

• How stress, thought patterns, and your nervous system affect hormones and fat storage

• The hidden role your relationship with food and alcohol plays in weight gain

• Why habits — not motivation — determine long-term weight loss success

💡 Important: Around the middle and end of this episode, I share the two areas where 90% of women unknowingly sabotage their results — and they’re not what you think.

• Women over 40 struggling to lose weight

• Women in perimenopause or menopause experiencing belly fat, fatigue, or stubborn weight gain

• Anyone frustrated that dieting, fasting, or exercising harder no longer works

• Women who want sustainable weight loss without extreme restriction

This episode sets the foundation. Over the next several weeks, I’ll release a deep-dive episode on each of the 8 metabolism pillars, starting with hormones.

If you’re a woman over 40 and you feel like your body fights you every January… this episode is for you.

You set the resolutions. Lose weight. Get back in shape. Be “more disciplined.”

And yet, by February, you’re exhausted, discouraged, and starting over again.

Here’s the truth most women aren’t told: traditional New Year’s resolutions don’t work after 40 — especially during perimenopause and menopause. The “eat less, move more” mindset that worked in your 20s can actually slow your metabolism, raise cortisol, disrupt hormones, and make weight loss harder as you age.

In this episode, I break down why resolutions fail for women over 40 and share a science-backed, hormone-friendly approach to creating goals that actually stick in 2026 — without dieting, restriction, or burnout.

You’ll learn:

• Why motivation and willpower aren’t the problem (biology is)

• How extreme dieting and over-exercising backfire after 40

• The difference between weight-based goals vs. process goals

• Why starting smaller leads to better metabolic results

• How your environment impacts habits more than discipline

• Why functioning from choice instead of restriction changes everything

• How accountability and community make lasting change possible

This episode is for the woman who is:

• Tired of starting over every January

• Frustrated that weight loss feels harder than it used to

• Dealing with perimenopause, menopause, fatigue, or stubborn belly fat

• Ready to stop punishing her body and start working with it

I also share what’s coming next on the podcast — including a deep dive into what actually supports metabolism and weight loss for women over 40 — plus an invitation to my 2-day Workshop (Feb 10–11) where we uncover what’s blocking your results and apply it to you through live coaching.

✨ If past resolutions didn’t work, it doesn’t mean you failed. It means the strategy failed you.

🎧 Tune in and learn how to create New Year’s resolutions that finally support your hormones, metabolism, and long-term health — so 2026 doesn’t become another year of starting over.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing 5 simple, research-backed holiday habits that support your metabolism during the busiest, food-filled week of the year—without dieting, restricting, or skipping the festive foods you love.

• How small amounts of incidental movement (NEAT) can prevent holiday weight gain
