One of the most common questions I hear from women over 40 is:
“I eat well and exercise, so why aren’t I getting results?”
They’re trying.
They’re walking.
They’re exercising.
They’re choosing whole foods.
They’re making a genuine effort to look after themselves.
And yet they feel frustrated because their body seems to be changing anyway.
I understand.
Because there was a time when I believed that if results slowed down, the answer was simple:
Eat less.
Exercise more.
What I eventually learned was that my body wasn’t asking for less.
It was asking for something different.
And that discovery completely changed the way I approached nutrition, energy, body composition and healthy ageing.
