ABOUT YOUR HOST:I'm Vera Brown — weight loss and health coach for women 40+ and host of the Fab Fit Forty Plus podcast. I lost 100+ pounds naturally in my mid-40s, over 2.5 years, during perimenopause, while building a business and living in France — surrounded by croissants and the world's finest bread every single day. No drugs, no injections, no extreme diets, no self-punishment.In my 30s I lost 75 pounds in 6 months on an extreme programme and regained every pound. I know both roads. That experience is why I created The Standards Over Rules Method™ — my own framework born entirely from lived experience — which helps women transform their health sustainably, from a place of self-love rather than self-hate.I work with women who want to lose 30, 50, 80 or 100+ pounds. The strategies are the same. The transformation is real.🌐 ⁠fabfitfortyplus.com ⁠📸@fabfitfortyplus on ⁠Instagram⁠, ⁠TikTok⁠, ⁠Facebook⁠ and ⁠YouTube⁠ 🎙️ Fab Fit Forty Plus on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and Amazon Music
