The real reason you’re gaining weight after 40- HINT- It’s not your hormones

from The Revive Wellness Podcast · host Allison Fahrenbach

If you've been blaming your hormones for the changes you've noticed after 40, this episode may change the way you think about fat loss forever.While hormones certainly influence how your body functions, one of the biggest reasons women struggle with weight gain, a slower metabolism, and a changing body composition is often overlooked: low muscle mass.In this episode, I am breaking down why muscle is far more than something that makes you look "toned." It's metabolically active tissue that plays a critical role in supporting your metabolism, blood sugar regulation, insulin sensitivity, strength, energy expenditure, and your body's ability to lose fat and keep it off.I'll discuss why fat loss becomes more difficult when muscle is lacking, why the number on the scale rarely tells the full story, and why building muscle, not simply eating less or doing more cardio, may be the missing piece to creating a stronger, healthier, more resilient body after 40.If you're tired of feeling like your hormones are working against you, this episode will give you a new perspective on what may actually be holding you back.Ready to go deeper?If you’re a woman over 40 who feels like you’re doing everything right, but your body still isn’t responding the way it used to...this is exactly the work I do.My coaching is built around identifying what’s keeping your body stuck, rebuilding the environment your hormones need to function, and creating a strategy you can actually execute long enough for it to work.You don’t need more random inputs.You need a body that can respond to the right ones.CLICK HERE TO LEARN MORE!Join me on Instagram!
