EPISODE 42: Why Midlife Weight Gain Isn’t Your Fault (and What to Do) with Erin Goodman

Welcome back to Peptides for Women podcast! In this episode, I’m joined by Erin Goodman, a master fitness trainer, nutrition coach, and Beachbody Live Master Trainer, to talk about her personal journey with peptides and how microdosing helped her break through stubborn weight gain while preserving muscle.After over two decades in the fitness industry, Erin found herself doing “all the right things” - tracking macros, strength training, and staying active - yet still gaining weight and feeling stuck. In this conversation, she shares how she shifted from skepticism to education, ultimately using peptides as a tool to support her already strong foundation.We also explore how peptides can complement (not replace!) key health habits like protein intake, resistance training, and consistency. Erin offers practical, real-life strategies she uses with her clients to simplify nutrition, improve adherence, and create sustainable results without extremes.In this episode, we cover:Why “doing everything right” can still lead to weight gain in midlifeHow microdosing tirzepatide helped her lose 25 lbs and 10% body fatThe importance of using data (like body composition) instead of just the scaleHow peptides reduce food noise and improve consistencyWhy protein intake is a non-negotiable and how to increase it realisticallySimple macro tracking strategies (without overwhelm)Meal prep tips to save time, money, and decision fatigueCommon mistakes women make with macros (and how to fix them)Erin’s experience stacking peptides (GHK-Cu, BPC-157, Tesamorelin/Ipamorelin)Real client results and why microdosing works so well for 10–25 lb goalsThe importance of community, accountability, and support in long-term successConnect with Erin Goodman!Website: ⁠⁠https://www.workwithresultsmatter.com/linksInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/_eringoodman/⁠⁠Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/erin.goodmanfurner/Links & Resources:🔗 Learn more at: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠elliemd.com/JenniferWoodwardNutrition⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠🎯 Take my free peptide quiz and get a personalized, midlife-smart roadmap for the peptides that actually match your symptoms and goals: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://quiz.jenniferwoodwardnutrition.com/peptide-quiz⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠🎓 Enroll in the Peptides for Practitioners Certification Course and get $100 off for podcast subscribers: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.carrotsncake.com/offers/TrVo7mCz?coupon_code=PFPJENNIFER⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠🧬 Want to pair GLP-1s with functional lab testing? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://learn.jenniferwoodwardnutrition.com/invitation⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠📩 Grab The Body Edit Guide here for full protocols, labs, and more: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://stan.store/jenniferwoodwardnutrition/p/get-the-body-edit⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠‼️Disclaimer‼️This podcast is for informational purposes only and does not provide medical advice.
