Fat Loss School for Women Over 50 | Strategies to Lose Weight and Belly Fat After Menopause with Intermittent Fasting, Carb Cycling, Macros, Exercise, & Mindset

Today's Friday Extra Credit episode is short, honest, and meant to save you time, money, and a whole lot of frustration. Today’s extra credit question is this: Are you trying to force fat loss… instead of support it? I'll share a long list of gimmicks and gadgets women our age are influenced to purchase as the missing piece we need to lose weight. The problem isn't that any of these things are “bad” — the problem is you are trying to buy a fix and force fat loss instead of support or allow fat loss with simple foundational strategies. Today’s mini lesson is on FORCE VS. SUPPORT.

I am sharing a brand-new book that is transforming the conversation around menopause — Age Like a Girl by Dr. Mindy Pelz. This book just came out this month, December 2025, and it’s already making waves because it reframes menopause in a way that feels powerful, hopeful, and totally aligned with how I help women over 50 approach health and lifestyle change. If you’ve ever felt foggy, overwhelmed, exhausted, or like your body isn’t cooperating anymore — this book gives meaning to all of that. It reminds every woman going through menopause that she isn’t falling apart… she’s being rebuilt. Today, I want to walk you through some of the biggest takeaways and why they matter — especially if you’re interested in building long-term health beyond the scale.
