If you’re doing more of the “right things” than ever, eating better, exercising, trying to look after yourself, yet your weight, energy, or motivation aren’t shifting, this isn’t a willpower issue.
For many women from their late 30s onwards, the body starts responding differently to stress, restriction, and pressure. The strategies that once worked can quietly begin to backfire, not because you’re doing them wrong, but because your hormones and nervous system have changed.
In this video, I explain what’s really going on, and why your body isn’t broken.
In this video, you’ll learn:
Why weight loss can stop responding even when you’re “doing everything right”
How hormone shifts (including progesterone, oestrogen, cortisol, and insulin) change how your body reacts to food and exercise
Why skipping meals, cutting carbs, and pushing harder can increase stress rather than results
What it means when your body feels “resistant”, and why it’s actually trying to protect you
Why willpower-based approaches stop working for many women 40+
The importance of calming the nervous system before trying to change food or exercise
Why understanding your body’s signals now matters more than trying another strict plan
You don’t need more discipline.You need the right strategy for this stage of life.
👉 If you’re unsure what your next step should be, you can book a Hormone Breakthrough Call — a clarity-focused session where we look at your symptoms, stress load, and history to work out what actually needs attention first (no pressure, no pushing).
