For 20 years, I underate, avoided weights, and lived on cardio, chasing skinny, and none of it gave me a body I was proud of. In my mid-30s, I changed my approach: more protein, real strength training, and a plan that fit my life. I lost 20 pounds, and 10 years later, at 45, I'm still maintaining it through perimenopause. I help women over 40 simplify their approach, build real strength, and get results that last. Every week, I cover the science, the strategy, and the honest truth about fat loss and maintenance for women over 40.MEDICAL DISCLAIMER:This content is for informational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
