538: Fat Loss in Midlife - What the Last 20 Years Has Taught Me

**Join us for a LIVE interactive fat loss workshop to continue this conversation: [nataliejillclass.com](nataliejillclass.com)**  What if everything you were taught about losing weight in your 20s and 30s is actually working against you now? I've spent almost 20 years coaching midlife women through fat loss, and I've lived every bit of it myself, ten years of perimenopause, post-menopause, injuries, autoimmune issues, and all. Today I'm done watching the internet sell midlife women quick fixes that were never built for our bodies. I'm laying out the five pillars I've seen actually work, in the order they matter, and the why behind each one, so you can stop chasing the next trend and start building something that lasts. I GO DEEP ON:  - I break down what's actually happening hormonally, metabolically, and physically in our bodies during midlife - I go deep on why everything we were taught about dieting in the 90s and 2000s set us up to fail - I share the real story of the moment that got me into this work, and the inner work that had to happen before any fat loss did - I go deep on real food, gluten, dairy, and why calorie counting doesn't work the way we think it does - I explain why muscle is the most underrated pillar of midlife fat loss and what happens if we don't build it - I go deep on the free biohacks nobody talks about because nobody can sell them - I explain why being your own health detective is non-negotiable at this stage of life   **Thank you to our show sponsors:**  - QUANTUM UPGRADE: Try Quantum Upgrade completely free for 15 days—no credit card required.
