Why does losing weight feel so much harder after 40?
If you found it easy to lose weight and build muscle in your 30s, but now those same strategies barely make an impact, you’re not imagining things. Your body is following a new set of rules.
In this episode, we break down what happens to your hormones, your metabolism, and your muscle mass as you age, and, more importantly, what you can do about it. We explore everything from GLP-1 medications and peptide therapies to creatine, protein targets, and why resistance training is non-negotiable for maintaining weight loss.
Whether you’re just starting your weight loss journey or you’ve hit a frustrating plateau, this episode will help you understand what’s happening in your body and what to do next.
