Episode Description from the Publisher

If you’ve been doing everything right with your diet and the scale still won’t move, this episode on perimenopause weight loss resistance is going to reframe everything. Alisha Carlson breaks down the weight-loss mechanism nobody talks about openly: any aggressive calorie deficit pulls from bone and muscle right alongside fat, and if you’re in perimenopause, you may already be losing bone density and muscle mass before you ever change your diet. This isn’t another willpower conversation. This is biology, and the fix looks completely different than what most programs are selling.Learn why fast weight loss costs perimenopausal and postmenopausal women significantly more bone density and muscle loss than moderate approaches, what the research actually says about the rate and speed of loss, and why the build-and-protect strategy gets you the body composition results you want without dismantling the infrastructure you need to live strong at 50, 60, and beyond.THIS EPISODE IS FOR YOU IF…You’re in perimenopause or approaching it and have noticed your go-to fat loss strategies have quietly stopped workingYou’ve done aggressive diets and want to understand what was actually happening to your body composition beyond the number on the scaleYou’re considering or currently using a GLP-1 medication and want to understand the muscle and bone risks independent of the drug itselfYou’re a woman over 35 who wants to build a strong, healthy body that works at 50, 60, and beyond, not just a lighter oneYou’re ready to stop restarting and want a framework that actually matches how your body works right nowFit + Fueled coaching programFit and Fueled Foundation micro course ($27) Follow Alisha on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alishacarlson_ or @thestrongherway
