The Science of Weight Loss for Women Over 40

Feel Better. Live Free. | Health & Wellness for Midlife Women

So here's a fun fact for you: when it comes to losing weight, your body doesn't actually care about your goals.

It doesn't care what size jeans you want to fit into, or what the number on the scale says, or whether or not you're finally ready to wear a bikini this summer.

But your body does have a goal.

And that goal, more than anything else, is to SURVIVE.

Your body's primary purpose is SELF-PRESERVATION.

To keep your heart pumping and your brain working and your blood flowing through your veins.

And that might not seem all that relevant, but that's actually why, for so many of us, losing weight feels like an uphill battle. It's not because we're weak, or because we don't have enough willpower, or because we're just not trying hard enough.

It's because our bodies are literally working against us.

They're fighting to hold onto every last ounce of fat, and they're driving us to consume more and more calories to keep us alive.

We're basically fighting an invisible war against our own biology, and most of us don't even realize it.

So today, we're going to do something about that.

We're going to dive deep into the science of weight loss so that you can fully understand what's REALLY happening in your body when you try to lose weight, which will probably ALSO help you understand why so much of what you've tried—and all the expert advice you've always heard—hasn't worked.

It's going to be fun, and I think really eye-opening. So get ready. Because once you see the light, you can't unsee it.
