786. Why You Can't Lose Weight After 37 (It's Not Your Metabolism)

Episode Description from the Publisher

If you feel like your body stopped responding after 37, it is not because your metabolism suddenly "slowed down" with age. In this episode, I break down the real reason so many women feel stuck despite eating well, exercising consistently, and doing everything "right." The truth is, your body can get trapped in a cycle involving cortisol, insulin, and estrogen that drives fat storage, inflammation, exhaustion, and frustration. I explain how chronic stress raises cortisol, disrupts blood sugar, increases insulin resistance, and fuels estrogen imbalance, creating a loop that makes weight loss feel impossible no matter how hard you work. And if you are exhausted, inflamed, and tired of guessing what your body needs, there is a better way forward.
