Midlife weight gain can feel like a mystery—one day, everything works, the next, nothing does. You're eating less, staying active, maybe even doubling down on healthy habits, but your body just isn't responding.

In Episode 251: Why your metabolism isn't the main villain in midlife weight gain, I dig into a hard truth most women haven't been told: the weight gain, fatigue, and body changes you're feeling aren't just about a slower metabolism.

Yes, metabolism plays a role. But it's not the whole story—and believing it is may be exactly what's keeping you stuck.

What if the real issue is something more profound? Something that's been quietly working against you—even though you've been showing up, staying active, and trying your best?

This episode unpacks the three hidden shifts that most women overlook in midlife, and why fixing the wrong problem can keep you spinning your wheels. You'll walk away with clarity—and permission—to do things differently.

If you're exhausted from pushing harder with no results, this conversation is your turning point. It's time to stop blaming your body and start working with it, not against it.

If this sounds familiar, you're not alone.

Maybe you're turning down hikes or struggling to keep up with your grandkids. Maybe your energy is low, and your body feels unfamiliar—like it's working against you.

You don't have to figure it out alone.
