Get An Hourglass Body After 40 - Emily Spurling and Lily Patrascu

Women’s Health Coach Shares How To Get An Hourglass Body After 40 - Emily Spurling and Lily Patrascu Emily Spurling is a women’s health coach, wellness retreat leader, and transformation expert who has spent more than 16 years helping thousands of women over 40 improve their health, confidence, and vitality through holistic wellness programs. She teaches that reducing cortisol belly starts with calming the nervous system and creating supportive daily habits. Emily explains that women become more sensitive to stress after 40, and elevated cortisol can make the body hold onto excess fat, particularly around the midsection. She emphasizes that the first hour after waking is critical, recommending practices such as breathwork, meditation, nature walks, and eating a nourishing meal instead of immediately checking emails or social media. Emily also highlights that women naturally lose muscle mass as they age, making strength training far more effective than excessive cardio for maintaining a lean, healthy, and radiant body. According to Emily, lifting weights two to three times per week for about 30 minutes can be a smarter and more sustainable approach than restrictive dieting or overexercising. Ultimately, her philosophy focuses on helping women work with their changing physiology, build strength, manage stress, and create long-term health through balanced, sustainable habits.
