EP010: Simple Nutrition - We Are Drowning In Information And Starving For Wisdom

Send us Fan MailYou can grind harder for years and still feel stuck and that’s the moment this conversation is for. We sit down with Patti Moon, owner of Next Level Nutrition, LLC and registered dietitian, certified diabetes educator, and board certified sports nutrition specialist, to talk about nutrition for adults over 50 who want real energy, better workouts, and sustainable fat loss without living on trend diets.Patti shares her own journey from emotional eating and repeated dieting to a coaching approach built on consistency, accountability, and simple habits that compound. We get specific about why midlife bodies often “rebel” when we train more and eat less, how perimenopause and menopause can change results, and why protein intake becomes non-negotiable for muscle, recovery, and appetite control. You’ll hear practical guidance on building meals around protein and fiber, timing carbohydrates for performance, and using sleep to reduce cravings and improve metabolic health.We also call out food marketing and health halo labels that make processed products look healthy, plus a clear take on body fat vs scale weight, strength training for longevity, and what to watch for with GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Zepbound so you don’t lose muscle along with weight.Subscribe, share this with a friend who’s “doing everything right,” and leave us a review with your biggest nutrition question so we can tackle it next.
