Episode Synopsis

Most women I work with don’t eat enough and it’s the number one thing holding them back from getting stronger and losing fat.In this episode, I break down the nutrition basics every woman over 40 needs to understand if you want to build strength, change your body composition, and finally feel confident in your body.Here’s what we cover:Why protein is your secret weapon (for muscle, fat loss, and more).The truth about carbs and fats and why you don’t need to fear them.Why under-eating slows both fat loss and strength gains.The difference between weight loss, fat loss, and body composition.My own story of giving up sugar, losing weight but still hating my body and what actually worked.The truth about processed foods and why some can actually help.A simple formula for building balanced, satisfying meals (with real-life examples).If you’ve been stuck eating less, avoiding “bad” foods, or confused about how to fuel your workouts, this episode will give you the clarity and confidence you need.www.strengthbeyondthesurface.com
