305:How to Lose Weight After 40: Three Fat Loss Strategies for Women
Monday, 12 October, 2026
OVERVIEW: Ashley shares a solo episode for women over 40 who feel like fat loss is harder than it used to be. She explains why that change is real without meaning your metabolism is “broken,” then breaks down three practical shifts that matter most for sustainable results. In this episode, Ashley focuses on getting more precise with nutrition, prioritizing strength training to protect muscle, and taking recovery seriously so your body can respond. She also clears up common myths about eating less, doing more cardio, and trusting generic macro calculators. Key Topics Covered: Ashley explains that turning 40 does not mean your “better days are behind you,” but it may mean physiology, hormones, recovery, and lifestyle need a new strategy. She explains that eating “healthy” is not the same as eating in a calorie deficit, especially when foods like nut butter, olive oil, granola, smoothies, wine, and restaurant meals can add up. She recommends periodic food tracking and portion measuring so you can stop guessing and understand what you’re eating. Ashley cautions against relying on generic macro calculators or app recommendations without professional guidance. Your macros should reflect your current health, labs, dieting history, and goals. She emphasizes strength training for women over 40, with the goal of preserving or building muscle rather than simply burning calories. She recommends progressive overload, repeating movements enough to get stronger, and tracking weights as part of a structured training program. She says protein at every meal can support training and muscle. She suggests aiming for at least 20 grams, with 30–40 grams often being even better. Ashley explains why recovery is not optional, including the role of sleep, stress, rest days, alcohol, and all-or-nothing dieting. She concludes that the answer is not automatically less food or more cardio, but a more precise and personalized strategy.
