Weight Loss After 40: The Skin Elasticity Truth with Dominika Asare

You finally lost the weight. And now you're dealing with a problem you didn't see coming: sagging, crepey skin that makes you feel like you traded one issue for another. It's not in your head, and it's not something you did wrong.I sat back down again with Dominika Asare, founder of Dominion Fitness, who works with female executives 40+ on metabolism, hormones, and the realities of peri and postmenopause, to get into the part of the weight loss conversation nobody prepares you for: what happens to your skin. Dominika breaks down why estrogen decline hits your collagen and elastin so hard, what actually influences how much sagging you'll see, and the real, evidence-backed things you can do about it, from how fast you lose weight to what you put on your skin and plate.If you've lost weight and you're now staring at skin that didn't bounce back, or you're worried about starting your own weight loss journey because of it, this one's for you.TOPICS DISCUSSED:Why skin elasticity changes after 40 (estrogen's role in collagen and elastin production)The stats: how much collagen you actually lose in the years after menopauseWhy duration and speed of weight loss both affect how much your skin sagsStrength training vs. cardio: what the research shows about skin thicknessCollagen supplements: what the studies really say (and don't say)Topical actives that help: retinoids, vitamin C, and peptides, and when to use eachThe nutrition angle: which amino acids and foods actually support collagenWhy environment, hydration, and lifestyle factor into skin health tooManaging expectations: what's reversible, what isn't, and why prevention beats correctionBEST MOMENTS:"The gradual, slower, steadier weight loss tends to produce less visible skin laxity.""Prevention is always better than management, if possible. But it's never too late to start.""If you're already seeing that the weight is increasing, don't wait and don't kick the can down the road.""Collagen is like a T-shirt that you need to replace every so often. Elastin is like this fantastic bra that you bought years ago and it was never meant to be replaced."Connect with on Dominika:Instagram | www.instagram.com/dominika.asareDominion Fitness | Cortisol Guide available on InstagramApp beta testing kicks off July (reach out to join for free)Connect with SophiaWebsite |  www.thereikihealingcoach.com Instagram | @sophia_i_got_igInstagram | @createlifeyourwayFacebook | www.facebook.com/sophia.e.754LinkedIn | Sophia Elcock Hosted on Acast.
