Why is Weight Loss Harder in Midlife? With Lara Briden

In this episode, host Amelia Phillips sits down with naturopathic doctor and women’s health expert Lara Briden to unpack why losing weight can suddenly feel so much harder after 40. If you’re eating well, exercising and doing all the things that used to work, but the weight, particularly around your middle, just won’t budge, Lara explains what may be going on. From changing hormones and insulin sensitivity to sleep, stress, nutrition and our changing metabolism, they explore the many factors that can influence body composition in midlife. Lara shares practical strategies for improving insulin sensitivity, how our approach to protein, carbohydrates and meal timing may need to evolve, and where fasting and calorie restriction fit in. She also discusses some of her go-to nutrients and supplements for metabolic health, including magnesium, choline, inositol, taurine and glycine. Plus, Lara reveals what she would prioritise in a simple three-month metabolism reset for women over 40 who want to lose excess body fat without resorting to increasingly restrictive diets.

What if 'Near-Enough' was 'Good-Enough'

Do you feel successful when you nearly hit a deadline? It could be just as important to celebrate a near win as it is to celebrate a full victory. You’ve still got the thrill of the chase, and with that mindset we can see a near win as okay — and not a failure. How can we mindfully put it into practise?
