135 | How Jenna, 44, Lost 20lbs, Regained Energy & Beat Anemia in Just 4 Months
If you’ve been eating less, exercising more, and still watching the scale go up after 40… Jenna’s story will give you hope.
At 44, Jenna was a busy mom of three, running her family business, volunteering at church, and holding everything together — but behind the scenes, she was exhausted. Years of battling anemia left her drained, her health was slipping, and no matter how hard she tried — from HIIT classes to Noom to eating less — she just kept gaining weight. Dry skin, chapped lips, bloodshot eyes… she hardly recognized herself.
Fast forward four months inside Metabolic Mastery, and Jenna has dropped 20 pounds, lost 2 dress sizes, and most importantly — she’s regained her energy and feels like herself again. Her anemia is gone (she even donated blood for the first time in years!), her cravings have calmed, and her family is watching her transformation. In fact, her youngest daughter now proudly packs salad in her lunchbox because “mom does it too.”
In this episode, you’ll hear exactly how Jenna made these changes, the shifts that worked for her, and why her story proves that you don’t need restriction, endless cardio, or dieting to finally lose weight and feel amazing after 40.
✨ What you’ll learn in this episode:
The surprising reason eating less and doing HIIT backfired for Jenna
How balancing meals helped her lose 20 pounds without dieting
The connection between nutrient deficiencies, anemia, and exhaustion
Why focusing on metabolism (not calories) is the game-changer after 40
👉 And if Jenna’s story resonates with you, here’s your next step: The replay of my Stop the Weight Gain Workshop is available right now — but only for a limited time. When you grab it, you’ll also get access to the special bonus offer to join Metabolic Mastery for Women Over 40. This is the exact program Jenna followed to completely transform her health.
