The Truth About Weight Loss After 40 (That No One Is Talking About!)
Let’s talk about weight. It’s the #1 reason women come to me.
I hear it all the time…
👉 I feel stuck. I can’t lose weight no matter what I do.
👉 I keep losing and gaining the same 10-20 pounds.
👉 Every program I try works… until it doesn’t. I lose weight, then gain it all back (plus more).
Sound familiar? You’re not alone.
But here’s the deal: Your body is NOT a calculator. It’s a chemistry lab!
Calories in, calories out? That’s outdated thinking. The real key to lasting weight loss is fixing the root cause of why your body is holding onto weight in the first place.
The Heartbreaking Cycle I See Too Often
In my functional medicine and health coaching practice, I’ve worked with so many women who come to me and say they have lost 40-60 pounds on low-fat, calorie-restrictive diets or pre-packaged meal plans—only to gain it all back. And then some.
This is heartbreaking.
Losing weight should NOT consume your life. The goal isn’t just to see the number on the scale drop—it’s about finding a sustainable way to feel good, have energy, and love your body again.
And that’s exactly why I do what I do.
I’m your hormone detective, here to help you uncover the real reasons behind your weight struggles—hormones, metabolism, stress, gut health, and more. Because when you fix the root cause, weight loss happens naturally (and stays off).
Know Your Hormones: The Hidden Key to Weight Loss
If you’ve been struggling with weight, it’s time to look beyond diet and exercise. Your hormones run the show, and if they’re out of balance, losing weight can feel impossible.
This is why your body is a chemistry lab and not a calculator.
Here are the three biggest hormone players when it comes to weight:
Cortisol (Your Stress Hormone)
Chronic stress and high cortisol levels lead to stubborn belly fat, cravings, and burnout. On the flip side, if cortisol is too low, your body can struggle with energy, making it even harder to stay active and lose weight.
Insulin (Your Blood Sugar Regulator)
Insulin resistance is one of the biggest hidden causes of weight gain. If your body isn’t processing glucose properly, you’ll store more fat, especially around the belly. Signs of insulin resistance? Constant hunger, sugar cravings, and energy crashes.
Thyroid (Your Metabolism’s Thermostat)
A sluggish thyroid can slow your metabolism to a crawl, making it nearly impossible to lose weight no matter how “healthy” you eat. Symptoms like fatigue, hair thinning, and cold hands/feet could be signs that your thyroid needs attention.
When these hormones are out of balance, no amount of dieting will work long-term. But the good news? When you fix your hormones, your body starts working with you, not against you.
Let’s Address the Elephant in the Room
Weight-loss drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy are everywhere right now. And yes, they help people lose weight which is so important for long term health. But here’s what you need to know:
✔️ They don’t fix the root cause of weight gain.
✔️ Once you stop, the weight often comes back.
✔️ They don’t teach you how to eat for your body’s needs.
✔️Plus, there can be significant side effects such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.
I’ve worked with women who are on these medications, and the ones who see lasting success are the ones who ALSO focus on fixing their habits—what they eat, how they move, stress levels, and overall lifestyle. That’s the real work.
Because if your hormones—like insulin, cortisol, thyroid, estrogen, and progesterone—are out of balance, no drug, diet, or exercise plan will work long-term.
Real Women, Real Results
Here’s what happens when you dig deep and address the root cause:
✅ Stuck for 10 years? After testing, we uncovered cortisol & blood sugar imbalances—she lost 15 pounds in 4 weeks with targeted nutrition and supplements.
✅ Pre-diabetic & inflamed? Changed her eating habits (no supplements or exercise!), and lost 65 pounds.
✅ Low cortisol & pre-diabetes? Focused on more protein, lower carbs, and movement—she lost 25 pounds in 4 months.
✅ PCOS & insulin resistance? A targeted diet, supplements, and lifestyle changes led to 15 pounds gone.
✅ Cut out processed foods? She lost 30 pounds.
✅ Custom macros & nutrition plan? Lost 20 pounds with ease.
This is what happens when you stop guessing and start working with your body instead of against it.
