Weight loss maintenance done right with Dr. Susan Peirce Thompson
Tuesday, 12 May, 2026

On episode 746 of the 40+ Fitness Podcast, Coach Allan welcomes back Dr. Susan Peirce Thompson, New York Times best-selling author and founder of Bright Line Eating. In this episode, we dive into her latest book, "Maintain: Three Simple Shifts That Turn Temporary Weight Loss into Lasting Freedom." Weight loss is an incredible achievement, but as many of us know, maintaining that loss can be even more challenging. Dr. Peirce Thompson shares why shifting your identity and developing the right mindset and resources are crucial for sustaining weight loss. We'll explore the three key identity shifts—being devoted, becoming resourced, and allowing yourself to be liberated from the struggle with food—along with practical strategies and tools to help you stay on track for the long term.
