Stuck in Storage? Why Weight Loss is Harder after 40

May 08, 2026

Hello Dear One!

Did you miss it? And did you wish you hadn't?

If so - the recording is out.

We had a great talk last week about why weight loss IS tyoically harder after 40, AND what enables it to not be.

We also discussed how our major milestone hormonal shift point can set us up for a landscape that is compromised health wise (decreased muscle mass, lowered metabolism, higher cortisol, more visceral fat, increased insulin resistance, and a lowered ability to create energy).

Versus a system that spirals in an opposite and upward direction (maintained/increased muscle mass, lowered cortisol, less visceral fat, increased insulin sensitivity, stronger and more abundant mitochondria = more energy).

One lovely lady who attended shared how FRUSTRATING it is to hear panic and conflicting advice around what to do after 40 (especially as a woman).

I get it.

My goal is to EXPLAIN more about how we work so it's clearer on WHY you'd chose one thing over another.

I believe this talk will be helpful for many in that effort.

So check it out if you'd like some HOPE on the after 40 front for both waistline change and HUGE health help.

And if inclined set up a time to talk about where you might be and how you might wish for your body to be looking, functioning, and feeling.

The body is logical. And when you understand more about how we work, it's easier to create more of what we desire.

Check it out! And set up a time to speak. No pressure for this call, just some clarity!

MEMBERSHIP COMING!

Oh my goodness!

I'm so excited and NERVOUS about this next big step for our Fat Burning community!

I've been wanting a place to support our Fat Burners FOREVER - and I think it's here!

I've been painstakingly putting together a Fat Burner Favorites Recipe book as the last brick in this offering before opening the doors.

In it there will be:

- private areas for our BOOSTs

- private area for our biannual RESET (to get back on track as a group)

- Kettlebells from the ground up course

- all encompassing 4 stage course that will take Fat Burners, or any mere mortal, through all stages of Health and Wellness, including pain management tutorials, and instruction on how to never get hurt (Power & Pain) starting with:

1. Chubby & Confused

2. Strong & Supported

3. Divine & Disciplined

4. Lean & Serene

- a Spring Cleaning Corner, where members can connect with others to do this emotionally liberating and nervous system recalibrating activity.

- our ongoing added to recipe book (finally).

- a weekly lesson = new news for how to optimize your health, fitness, and mode of Fat Burning

- even guest speakers monthly in the future

I started to put this together AGES ago, and when I did I realized that it was basically my life's work.

It's really everything I know from every discipline I've studied and mastered:

- massage therapy = pain management

- kettlebells = strength and injury prevention

- USANA = cellular health and prevention of degeneration

- Fat Burning = weight loss, optimal health and longevity

I'm going to start slowly as my highest concern and wish is for this thing to be incredibly valuable, easy to use and navigate, relied on OFTEN as your outlet for foundational and optimal health, and to keep Fat Burning top of mind FOREVER.

So...stay tuned! And get ready!

WINS OF THE WEEK: 5/2

This week had so much good news!

And truthfully some of what was shared and experienced reminded me of exactly why I LOVE what I do.

J broke 170 lbs. She’s now down 23.7 lbs in just over 11 weeks — and she’s still losing over 2 lbs a week. AMAZING!

Our brainless protocol is working. Her metabolism has been rebuilt. And this is what fat adaptation looks like - especially when there is stress and less than ideal stuff going on.

M hit 136.8 this week. That’s 46.5 lbs down in 6 months — averaging 1.75 lbs a week. STILL. at month 6.

And she said something that stopped me in my tracks and get wide eyed:

“Some of us are at our best at 47.”

Hell to the YES.

C is down 11.3 lbs in 9 weeks, averaging 1.25 lbs a week.

And ANOTHER - J’s clothes are fitting way better!

“Feeling more confident, little by little.”

Little by little is how the big stuff happens.

One client texted me this morning:

“I know I haven’t thanked you enough, but I really appreciate you getting me back on track. I was feeling so happy this morning thinking about my accomplishments.”

Yay!! I read that multiple times and each time it made me beam.

And then Again there’s M who woke up at 7am wide awake with tons of energy — not from caffeine, not from adrenaline — because she’s FASTing!

That energy? That’s your her body CHURNING through fat and making HIGH OCTANE energy from ketones.

When your Mitochondria have been repaired & rebuilt to run on fat you’re more able to do crazy shiz safely. Like go for 2 days withOUT eating, & have even more energy than if you had.

We also welcomed a brand new Fat Burner to the fold this week — so excited for her to begin!

I’ve been slowly compiling Fat Burner Favorites in a recipe book that’ll be connected to a membership.

And I got to put one of my huge super sexy Levain bakery cookies to great use on my carb feast day as a pre lift assist.

Functional food at it’s best!

And we held our “Stuck in Storage?” free training — and a great group of women showed who were done being told to just eat less and move more.

(Which hasn’t been working anyway!)

They came ready. They stayed engaged.

They left with an awareness they didn’t have before.

If you’re reading this wondering if it could work for you — let’s discuss!

Would love to show you how.

To getting clearer on how the body works in order to make it work for you.

xo, M
