    307: Hormone Health for Women: What You Need to Know with Dr. Beth Westie

    Are you wondering whether a hormone imbalance is affecting your energy, weight, mood, or overall health? With so much conflicting advice about women's hormone health, cortisol, estrogen, hormone testing, and supplements, it's no wonder so many women feel overwhelmed and confused about where to start. In this episode of Cheers to Your Success, I'm joined by Dr. Beth Westie, a women's health expert, to break down common hormone health myths, clear up misconceptions, and discuss why a personalized approach to your health is so important. We dive into the overwhelming amount of information surrounding women's hormonal health, why one-size-fits-all solutions often fall short, and how to become more informed and empowered when making decisions about your health. Whether you're in your late 30s, navigating your 40s, or simply trying to better understand your body, this conversation will help you cut through the noise and focus on what actually matters. In this episode, we discuss: Common myths and misconceptions about women's hormonal health. Why understanding your individual hormonal needs is so important. How to navigate conflicting advice surrounding hormones, nutrition, and wellness. Why a personalized approach matters more than following the latest health trends. The importance of asking questions, understanding your symptoms, and advocating for your health. How to make more informed decisions that support your long-term health and well-being. Here's what I want you to remember: Your health isn't one-size-fits-all. What works for another woman, your favorite influencer, or even what worked for you five years ago may not be what your body needs today. The goal isn't to chase every new wellness trend or overcomplicate your health. It's to better understand your body, recognize your individual needs, and build a sustainable approach that supports you for years to come. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by all the information surrounding women's hormones and wondered what advice is actually worth following, this is an episode you won't want to miss!

    How I'd Lose 10-20 Pounds After 40: Exactly What I'd Do

    If I had to lose 10-20 pounds again today, a lot of the fundamentals I used years ago would stay the same: protein, strength training, walking, a calorie deficit, consistency, and patience. The difference is that today, after two decades of coaching women, I would approach the process with a much deeper understanding of metabolism, hormones, muscle preservation, recovery, behavior change, and what actually makes fat loss sustainable. I would also be far less interested in simply getting the weight off as quickly as possible. In Episode 306, the first part of 3-part series, I’m walking you through exactly how I would approach fat loss today, especially as a woman over 40. We live in a world with more tools and information than ever before. AI can give you a meal plan. An app can calculate your macros. A wearable can give you data. A GLP-1 or peptide may be a helpful tool for the right person. The challenge is knowing what you actually need, how to customize the strategy, when to make a change, and when to stay the course. The goal is not just to lose 10 or 20 pounds. The goal is to lose it in a way that supports your metabolism, hormones, muscle, health, lifestyle, and long-term results. INSIDE THIS EPISODE, I COVER: Why I would assess my metabolism, lifestyle, stress, sleep, training, and dieting history before cutting calories Why I would use the smallest effective calorie deficit instead of dieting as aggressively as possible How I would prioritize protein and strength training to preserve muscle Why walking and daily movement would still be a huge part of my strategy The progress markers I would track beyond the scale How I would build the plan around real life, including kids, work, travel, social events, and busy seasons Why I would hire a coach even though I am a coach myself Where AI, macro apps, wearables, GLP-1s, and peptides can fit into a fat loss plan Why tools can support your strategy, but should never become the entire strategy Why understanding how you gained the weight matters just as much as knowing how to lose it How I would think about maintenance before I ever reached my goal weight Sustainable fat loss is not about constantly starting over.

    305:How to Lose Weight After 40: Three Fat Loss Strategies for Women

    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.
