This episode would discuss the unique challenges that women face when trying to lose weight after 40, such as hormonal changes, metabolism slowdown, and increased muscle loss. These changes include: Changes in hormone levels: As women approach menopause, their estrogen and progesterone levels decline. As a result, weight gain can occur, especially around the abdomen. Age-related metabolism slowdown: As we age, our metabolism slows down. Consequently, we burn fewer calories at rest, making weight loss more difficult. Age also leads to a loss of muscle mass. As muscle burns more calories than fat, it can also contribute to weight gain. Listen as I break these down and share some ways that you can overcome them.
