What we’ll cover
Bring your questions. The Q&A is the point, not an afterthought.
Why it got harder, specifically
The actual physiological changes behind the shift, rather than the vague sense that your metabolism broke.
Metabolism, and the myths around it
What 'slow metabolism' really means, how much it changes with age, and why it explains less than you have been told.
Muscle is the part nobody mentions
Why preserving muscle matters more than the number on the scale, and what happens to it in midlife if nothing intervenes.
Protein, fiber and blood sugar
The three things that move the needle most, in practical amounts rather than optimized-athlete amounts.
Strength training versus more cardio
Why the instinct to add cardio is usually the wrong lever, and what to do instead.
Why aggressive dieting backfires
What deep restriction costs you in muscle, energy and adherence, and what a sustainable deficit actually looks like.
When medical options are worth discussing
An honest account of where GLP-1 medications fit, who they suit, and who they do not.
To move away from restriction and guilt, toward a strategy that supports fat loss, muscle, energy and long-term health.
