If weight loss feels harder after 35, it’s not a lack of willpower — it’s physiology.

Perimenopause, thyroid shifts and insulin resistance all increase your protein needs.

Protein supports muscle, metabolism, blood sugar and hormones — which is why it’s a cornerstone in my work with women over 35.

Stop trying to 'willpower' your way through a physiological problem.

After 35, super strict calories restriction doesn't just feel harder - it actually triggers and energy conserving state in your body.

When you underwater, your cortisol spikes, your thyroid slows, and your body prioritises survival over fat loss.

You don't need more discipline. You need a new strategy. Read my latest blog to find out why 'Repair' has to come before 'loss'

Stressed… but the scale won’t move?

It’s not willpower.
It’s cortisol + blood sugar.

Chronic stress keeps your body in store mode, not fat-burn mode —
causing poor sleep, energy crashes, sugar cravings and stubborn belly fat.

I had a few conversations about this with some clients this week. It was great to see them realise it wasn't lack of motivation or willpower, just their physiology had changed.

The fix isn’t eating less.
It’s calming your nervous system + stabilising blood sugar.

If you’re feeling exhausted, flat, or unmotivated right now — please know this: you’re not lazy.

The lead-up to Christmas is one of the biggest stress loads of the year for women.
More emotional labour.
More rushing.
More expectations.
Less rest.

When cortisol stays elevated for too long, your thyroid often slows things down to protect you.
Energy drops.
Motivation disappears.
Weight may creep in.

This isn’t failure.
It’s physiology.

💜If your body feels ‘off’ right now, it may be asking for support — not more pushing.
