127 | Why "Just Eat Less" Stops Working After 50

If you’re a woman over 50 who feels frustrated with dieting, constantly hungry, or confused about why nothing seems to work anymore — this episode is for you.
Many popular diets were created for younger bodies, male metabolism, or quick results — not for midlife women navigating hormonal changes, inflammation, muscle loss, and the effects of decades of dieting. That’s why what worked in your 30s or 40s may feel impossible now.
In today’s episode, we talk about why past diets failed (and why that failure was never your fault), how sugar, processed foods, and refined carbs impact cravings, mood, energy, and aging, and what a more sustainable, body-honoring approach to weight loss after 50 actually looks like.
This episode is designed to help you release shame, understand your body better, and feel hopeful again — without fear, restriction, or another “start over Monday” plan.
If you’re ready to stop blaming yourself and start working with your body instead of against it, this episode will meet you right where you are.
