257: GLP-1s, Dieting, and Metabolic Health: What Every Woman Over 35 Needs to Know

OVERVIEW: If you’re currently dieting, trying to lose weight, or using a GLP-1, this episode is for you. I’m opening up about my own journey — from years of crash dieting and overtraining in my 20s to finally repairing my metabolism and hormones so I could feel strong, healthy, and confident again. I’ve been there: eating as little as possible, chasing smaller numbers on the scale, and feeling terrified to stop dieting because I didn’t want to regain the weight. In this episode, I’m sharing what I’ve learned after nearly two decades of helping women heal their metabolism and achieve sustainable results. Whether you’re counting macros, eating “clean,” or taking a GLP-1, you’ll hear exactly why how you approach your fat loss journey matters just as much as what you’re doing. Here’s what we’ll cover: Why your metabolic health is the foundation of everything — fat loss, energy, hormones, and long-term results. The truth about GLP-1s and why you still need to eat enough, strength train, and support your metabolism. The signs of metabolic adaptation and what to do if you’ve been chronically under-eating. Why simply hitting your protein goal isn’t enough if your total calories are too low. How I use the Three Phases of Transformation — Repair, Rebuild, and Results — to help women feel and look their best. The connection between muscle mass and longevity, and why your goal should always be to maintain and build muscle. If you’ve ever felt like you’re “doing everything right” but still not seeing results, this episode will help you understand why — and what you can do differently to finally make progress that lasts. Your metabolism is the foundation for everything. It determines how your body uses the food you eat — whether you’re burning it efficiently or storing it. If you don’t take care of it, no diet, workout plan, or medication will give you sustainable results. I want you to know there’s a better way — one that doesn’t involve starving yourself or living in fear of food. You deserve to feel good, look strong, and sustain your results long-term.   RESOURCES: Click here to schedule your FREE alignment call to see if my 1:1 coaching program is a good fit for you: https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule/7de98067/appointment/18062930/calendar/4677043?appointmentTypeIds%5B%5D=18062930 Email us at: [email protected] Click Here to learn more about my 1:1 coaching program https://metabolicfix.com/one Take My PHASE ASSESSMENT QUIZ HERE: https://www.metabolicfix.com/phase-quiz Follow Ashley on Instagram: @ashley_fillmore1 Join Ashley's FREE Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/635528110302527 Want to see which one of my programs is the best for you?
