Why Fat Loss Feels So Much Harder Than It Used To
Fri Feb 06 2026
If fat loss feels harder than it used to, you’re not imagining it.
Many women reach a point where the strategies that once worked, eating less, working out more, pushing harder, stop delivering results.
In this episode, I break down why fat loss can feel so much more difficult in your 30s and 40s, and why relying on willpower alone often makes things worse. We talk about stress load, hormonal shifts, metabolic adaptation, and the real reason trying harder backfires for so many high achieving women.
If you’ve been doing everything right and still feel stuck, this episode will help you understand what’s actually going on and what needs to change moving forward.
