She introduces her Magic Plate Method — a simple way to balance protein, fiber, and carbs that creates a natural calorie deficit without counting anything.The conversation covers why metabolism doesn't actually break with age, how core strength and body recomposition matter more than the scale after 40, why calming the nervous system is essential to releasing weight, and how to build a movement and eating rhythm that fits real motherhood — not an Instagram ideal.- - - - -About the Guest:Melissa Abushackra is a women's nutrition and fitness coach with over 9 years of experience helping women over 40 lose weight sustainably — without keto, fasting, or tracking every single thing, and without guilt.
