from Fuel Different · host Sarah Williams

Think you know why diets stop working after 30? Sarah Williams reveals the hormone truth that diet companies don't want you to know. Spoiler alert: it's not about willpower. Your body makes six fat-burning hormones but only three fat-storing ones - so why do most people struggle more with weight as they age? On Fuel Different, we break down how growth hormone drops 25% every decade starting at 30, why low-calorie diets can tank your metabolism by 40%, and how popular programs actually create deficiencies that make you store more fat. Sarah explains which diets work with your hormones instead of against them, plus the one metabolic mistake that keeps people stuck even when they're doing "everything right." 📍 Chapters: [00:00] Introduction with Sarah Williams [01:30] The six fat-burning hormones you're not using [04:00] Why your metabolism slows after 30 (it's not age) [07:00] Commercial diets that backfire hormonally [10:00] Smart choices that work with your body [12:00] Your hormone-friendly action plan 🔍 Topics: wellness, fitness, nutrition, diet, medicine, longevity, doctors, mental health ⭐ Ready to fuel different?
