In this episode, we're diving deep into one of the most requested topics: why so many women struggle with weight gain, hormonal shifts, and belly fat—especially as we move through our 40s, 50s, and beyond.   Key Topics: The real reasons behind changes in body composition and why "just doing more cardio" or "eating less" isn't the answer. The importance of building muscle, not just losing weight, for a tighter midsection and overall health. How lifestyle changes, hormonal fluctuations, and even being more sedentary than we realize can impact our results. Why advanced training strategies and a focus on progressive overload are key for women who are already fit but not seeing the results they want. The role of cortisol, stress, and recovery—including how to implement a "cortisol reset" and why rest days and nutrient timing matter. Practical tips for structuring your training, dialing in your nutrition (yes, you probably need more carbs!), and staying consistent for long-term results. My personal journey with body composition, muscle building, and the lessons I've learned through perimenopause and beyond.   Let's dive in! Thank you for joining us today.
