    147 | The #1 Hidden Reason You’re Gaining Weight After 40 (It’s Not Protein or Carbs)

    16/1/2026 | 16 mins.
    If you’re a woman over 40 who is eating “clean,” working out, and doing all the right things — yet the scale keeps creeping up — this episode will completely change how you understand your body.

    In this episode, Lara reveals the #1 hidden reason many women gain weight in perimenopause and menopause — and why it has nothing to do with not enough protein or too many carbs.

    You’ll learn:

    Why hormonal shifts after 40 make weight loss harder — even for women who eat well

    How hidden micronutrient imbalances (like magnesium, potassium, copper, and iron metabolism) can slow your metabolism and drive stubborn belly fat

    Why stress, sleep, and soil depletion can quietly create mineral deficiencies that sabotage fat loss

    Common signs your body may be missing key nutrients (fatigue, cravings, brain fog, palpitations, bloating, constipation, and poor sleep)

    The first step Lara takes with every client inside her Metabolic Mastery program to restart fat loss, improve energy, and calm hot flashes

    This is not another diet episode. It’s a root-cause look at why your body may be resisting weight loss — and how to begin fixing it from the inside out.

    If you’ve been frustrated, confused, or blaming yourself for slow weight loss after 40, this episode will help you make sense of what’s really happening in your metabolism.

    👉 Perfect for women in perimenopause or menopause who want sustainable weight loss, better sleep, balanced hormones, and steady energy — without extreme dieting.

    146 | Struggling to Lose Weight After 40? 8 Metabolism Blocks You’re Missing

    07/1/2026 | 15 mins.
    If you’re doing “all the right things” — eating healthy, exercising, even trying fasting — but the scale won’t budge after 40, this episode will finally explain why.

    Weight loss after 40 is not about willpower or discipline. It’s about understanding the hormonal, metabolic, and lifestyle shifts that happen in perimenopause and menopause — and adjusting your approach accordingly.

    In this episode, I break down the 8 root causes that quietly sabotage metabolism in women over 40, even when calories and workouts look “perfect” on paper. These are the same root causes I see over and over again in my private coaching practice.

    This episode is your metabolic roadmap — and it kicks off an 8-week deep-dive series where we’ll address each pillar step by step.

    In this episode, you’ll learn:

    Why weight loss after 40 feels harder — even when you’re eating less and exercising more

    How declining progesterone, erratic estrogen, and rising cortisol drive belly fat and insulin resistance

    Why bloating, IBS, reflux, and food sensitivities block fat loss

    The biggest diet mistakes women over 40 make (and why under-eating backfires)

    How poor sleep directly slows metabolism and increases cravings

    Why more HIIT and intense workouts can actually stall weight loss after 40

    How stress, thought patterns, and your nervous system affect hormones and fat storage

    The hidden role your relationship with food and alcohol plays in weight gain

    Why habits — not motivation — determine long-term weight loss success

    💡 Important: Around the middle and end of this episode, I share the two areas where 90% of women unknowingly sabotage their results — and they’re not what you think.

    Who this episode is for:

    Women over 40 struggling to lose weight

    Women in perimenopause or menopause experiencing belly fat, fatigue, or stubborn weight gain

    Anyone frustrated that dieting, fasting, or exercising harder no longer works

    Women who want sustainable weight loss without extreme restriction

    What’s next:
    This episode sets the foundation. Over the next several weeks, I’ll release a deep-dive episode on each of the 8 metabolism pillars, starting with hormones.

    👉 Make sure you’re subscribed so you don’t miss the next episode.

    Your body is not broken.
    You’re not failing.
    You’re just playing by outdated rules — and that changes starting now. 💛

    145 | Why New Year’s Resolutions Fail After 40 — and What to Do Instead in 2026

    01/1/2026 | 17 mins.
    If you’re a woman over 40 and you feel like your body fights you every January… this episode is for you.

    You set the resolutions.
    Lose weight.
    Get back in shape.
    Be “more disciplined.”

    And yet, by February, you’re exhausted, discouraged, and starting over again.

    Here’s the truth most women aren’t told: traditional New Year’s resolutions don’t work after 40 — especially during perimenopause and menopause. The “eat less, move more” mindset that worked in your 20s can actually slow your metabolism, raise cortisol, disrupt hormones, and make weight loss harder as you age.

    In this episode, I break down why resolutions fail for women over 40 and share a science-backed, hormone-friendly approach to creating goals that actually stick in 2026 — without dieting, restriction, or burnout.

    You’ll learn:

    Why motivation and willpower aren’t the problem (biology is)

    How extreme dieting and over-exercising backfire after 40

    The difference between weight-based goals vs. process goals

    Why starting smaller leads to better metabolic results

    How your environment impacts habits more than discipline

    Why functioning from choice instead of restriction changes everything

    How accountability and community make lasting change possible

    This episode is for the woman who is:

    Tired of starting over every January

    Frustrated that weight loss feels harder than it used to

    Dealing with perimenopause, menopause, fatigue, or stubborn belly fat

    Ready to stop punishing her body and start working with it

    I also share what’s coming next on the podcast — including a deep dive into what actually supports metabolism and weight loss for women over 40 — plus an invitation to my 2-day Workshop (Feb 10–11) where we uncover what’s blocking your results and apply it to you through live coaching.

    ✨ If past resolutions didn’t work, it doesn’t mean you failed.
    It means the strategy failed you.

    🎧 Tune in and learn how to create New Year’s resolutions that finally support your hormones, metabolism, and long-term health — so 2026 doesn’t become another year of starting over.

    144 | 3 Science Backed Habits To Boost Your Metabolism During the Holidays

    25/12/2025 | 14 mins.
    If you’re a woman over 40 who wants to enjoy the holidays without gaining weight, feeling bloated, or starting January already frustrated with your body—this episode is for you.

    In today’s episode, I’m sharing 5 simple, research-backed holiday habits that support your metabolism during the busiest, food-filled week of the year—without dieting, restricting, or skipping the festive foods you love.

    Because holiday weight gain isn’t about lack of discipline.
    It’s about environment, hormones, blood sugar, sleep, and movement—and all of those shift after 40.

    This episode is especially important if:

    You feel like your metabolism is more sensitive than it used to be

    You notice belly fat, cravings, or low energy show up fast during the holidays

    You’re tired of the “I’ll start fresh on January 1st” cycle

    You want real-life strategies that actually work in perimenopause and menopause

    In this episode, you’ll learn:

    Why hydration directly affects blood sugar, cravings, and metabolic rate

    How small amounts of incidental movement (NEAT) can prevent holiday weight gain

    Why sleep controls your hunger hormones and insulin sensitivity

    How to support your metabolism without skipping cookies, meals, or celebrations

    The real reason holiday weight gain happens—and how to prevent it

    These habits help:

    Stabilize blood sugar

    Reduce belly fat storage

    Improve insulin sensitivity

    Keep energy steady

    Help you enter January feeling lighter—not behind

    143 | Want to Eat Dessert Without Gaining Weight? 3 Nutrition Hacks After 40

    17/12/2025 | 17 mins.
    If you’re a woman over 40 who wants to enjoy dessert without triggering weight gain, belly fat, energy crashes, or nonstop cravings—this episode is for you.

    In today’s episode, I’m sharing 3 simple, research-backed metabolism hacks that help women in perimenopause and menopause enjoy sweets without wrecking their blood sugar, hormones, or waistline.

    Because if you’ve noticed that sugar hits differently than it used to…
    You’re not broken.
    Your metabolism is changing.

    I’m sharing a personal story from my early 40s—when holiday desserts suddenly left me puffy, exhausted, and craving carbs nonstop—and how understanding insulin sensitivity, cortisol, and metabolic timing completely changed how I eat (and teach my clients to eat) during the holidays.

    Inside this episode, you’ll learn:

    Why eating dessert with a meal dramatically reduces blood sugar spikes and fat storage

    The #1 breakfast mistake that drives cravings and weight gain after 40—and what to eat instead

    Why when you eat sweets matters just as much as what you eat

    How circadian rhythm, insulin resistance, and sleep impact metabolism for women over 40

    Why restriction backfires in midlife—and what works instead

    These are the same hormone-supportive strategies I teach inside my Metabolic Mastery for Women Over 40 program—no dieting, no guilt, no willpower battles.

    ✨ And don’t miss Hack #3—it’s my favorite and the one most women have never heard before.
