If you’re over 50 and wondering why losing weight feels so much harder than it used to, this episode is a must-listen. The truth is, calorie counting alone won’t cut it anymore—and sticking to restrictive diets might actually be making things worse.

In this episode,we talk about the real reason weight loss gets more frustrating with age—and it has everything to do with insulin resistance and inflammation. You’ll discover how your hormones shift after 50, how that impacts your metabolism, and what you can do about it.

Learn why popular weight loss plans like Weight Watchers or plant-based diets often fall short, especially for women who are post-menopausal. More importantly, find out what does work: a low insulin and inflammation lifestyle that supports sustainable weight loss and better long-term health.

If you’re tired of losing and regaining the same 20–50 pounds, constantly feeling drained, and not seeing results despite your best efforts—this episode is your roadmap to lasting change.
