    Are the workouts that used to work not working anymore?

    I've been there. At 49, my body changed. I didn't recognize myself anymore. My toned, lean, athletic physique suddenly turned blobby. And it was horrifying.

    I was not ready to give up though. I figured out how to turn things around.

    In this episode I'll explain how I changed my workouts and changed my body!

    #166 | FAQs Nutrition & Weight Loss
    May 5 2026

    Spring is here, which means a lot of midlife women are thinking about losing a few pounds before bikini season.

    In this Q&A I answer four of the most common weight loss questions I get from midlife women:

    1. I've started eating more protein and lifting weights, but my weight is going UP. What's going on?
    2. I'm eating clean. Why am I not losing weight?
    3. How do I track meals like stews and soups when every serving has a different mix of ingredients?
    4. How do I choose a good protein powder, and how do I tell if it's actually high in protein?

    Apr 28 2026

    You've probably heard the term 'cortisol belly' thrown around on social media. And more than likely, they are trying to sell you a tea or a supplement to fix it.

    Here's the thing: cortisol belly is real. But no supplement or new ab exercise is going to fix it.

    In this episode I explain what cortisol belly is, and why this kind of belly fat is worth paying attention to - because it's more than just a cosmetic problem.


    You'll learn:

    1. Why you've grown a 'muffin top' (it's a combination of things)
    2. What visceral fat is, and why you want to get rid of it
    3. What cortisol belly is and how to fix it
