Episode notes
If you’ve ever stepped on the scale after working hard in the gym and thought, “What the hell? I gained weight?” — this episode is for you.
Here’s the truth: after 40, your body plays by different rules. Losing fat while gaining muscle (aka body recomposition) means the number on the scale might not move at all — or even go up — while your body is actually changing for the better.
In this episode, I break down: ✨ Why the scale lies to women over 40 ✨ How hormones, stress, and muscle all play a role in recomposition ✨ The better ways to track progress beyond the scale ✨ What workouts and nutrition actually work for fat loss + muscle growth after 40 ✨ The mindset shift you need to stop quitting too soon
💡 You’re not broken. You’re not too old. And you don’t need to obsess over the scale. What you need is a plan that works with your hormones, not against them.
