The Hormone Lie: Why ”Eat Less, Move More” Stopped Working

Are you a women in your late thirties to early fifties finding that all the things that used to work for weight loss just aren't working anymore? You're doing everything "right," eating clean, moving your body yet... nothing budges. The scale's stuck, the belly's stubborn, and you're tired of hearing "just try harder."

What if I told you it's not you. It's cortisol, burnout, and hormones shifting after decades of hustle—kids, work, life. This isn't about another diet. It's about balancing what decades of extreme diets, exercise, and chronic stress have thrown out of whack. 

Eventually, the nervous and endocrine systems get burned out and that's when we start seeing that weight we've worked so hard to keep off start creeping back. We try harder, thinking cutting calories further, exercising more and harder will reverse it,  but it's actually making matters worse.

In order to release the weight we need to calm the nervous system, fuel our bodies not starve, exercise in a way that supports hormones rather than adding stress, and change our inner dialogue.

I'm sharing what I'm learning live, no fluff. From stress hacks to hormone-friendly habits, we're figuring out why the old rules failed... and how to win now. If you're done fighting your body, come along. Midlife isn't the end, it's just a pivot point. Let's step into our queen era together!

#92 Surrender

Wednesday Feb 21, 2024

Wednesday Feb 21, 2024

Today's episode is a continuation of the discussion on faith from last Wednesday, Episode #90. Last we we discussed What is Means to Walk by Faith and not by Sight: 
1. Inner connection
2. Inspired action
3. Detach from outcomes
 
Today, we dive deeper into surrender, which is the key to moving in faith. It is the difference between swimming upstream and floating along where the current will take you. Struggle is not required, it is self-imposed from our need for control, our need to know "how" things are going to happen, and from our holding onto expectations of how we think things need to be.
