Meet Vera Brown: How I Lost 100+ Pounds in My Mid-40s Naturally and Why I Created This Podcast for Women 40+ - My Personal Introduction to my Weight Loss and Health Podcast for Women

If you've just discovered this podcast and you're wondering whether it's for you, this is the episode to start with! I'm Vera Brown. I'm a weight loss and health, and fitness coach for women 40+. After decades of struggling with my health, I lost over 100 pounds in my mid-40s naturally, sustainably, over 2.5 years, during perimenopause. All while building a business and living in France, surrounded by the world's finest pastries and bread every single day. No drugs. No injections. No extreme diets. No self-punishment.In my 30s, I lost 75 pounds in just 6 months using an extreme programme. I was thrilled. And then I gained every single pound back. I know that quick fixes and fad diets never last and that is at the heart of everything I now teach.I created Fab Fit Forty Plus because I couldn't find the podcast I needed when I was in the middle of my own health transformation. A show by a real woman who had actually done it! Not a doctor, not a nutritionist, not a personal trainer with a textbook, not a therapist, not a scientist.... But someone who had lived the struggle for 20 years, hit rock bottom, and found a completely different way through. A way built on self-love, not self-hate. On standards, not rules. On slow, real, lasting progress, not quick fixes that always end the same way.This is that podcast.
