The 5 Hidden Causes of Weight Gain After 40

Описание: Your body hasn’t just “stopped working” after 40 - your biology has changed the rules. In today's episode I unpack the five hidden drivers behind stubborn midlife weight gain and show you how to work with your hormones, not against them. From silent inflammation to cortisol spikes, poor sleep, gut shifts, and insulin resistance, I map out practical steps that make weight loss feel possible again.
 
• the myth of “eat less, move more” failing after 40 due to hormonal shifts
• inflammation as a key driver and how to lower it with food choices
• cortisol’s impact on belly fat and how to set boundaries and rest
• sleep as a metabolic tool and simple night routines that work
• gut changes, fibre-first strategies, and smart use of probiotics
• insulin resistance signs and fixes with protein, strength, and meal timing
• why personalisation beats one-size-fits-all plans
 
If your clothes feel tighter despite “doing everything right,” this guide gives you a clear path: nourish, don’t punish; slow down to speed up; personalise your plan.
