Body Composition After 40: What Really Changes and What You Can Do

Does it feel like your body has changed overnight since turning 40? Suddenly weight is harder to lose, belly fat shows up out of nowhere, and building (or even keeping) muscle feels like an uphill battle.

Here’s the truth: your body does change after 40, but it doesn’t mean fat loss is impossible or that you’re “broken.” Hormonal shifts, muscle loss, and lifestyle factors all play a role—but you can still feel strong, lean, and confident with the right strategy.

In this episode, I’m breaking down:
What actually happens to hormones, metabolism, and body composition after 40
Why belly fat becomes more common (and what you can do about it)
The biggest myths about aging, metabolism, and weight gain
The 5 things that matter most if you want to lose fat and keep muscle after 40

You’ll walk away feeling informed, validated, and empowered with simple steps you can start focusing on today.

If you’ve ever thought, “My body just isn’t the same anymore…”—this episode is for you.
