Hi, I'm Robyn. A wife, Mom, Nana Jesus lover, and your faith-led, low-carb lifestyle coach. For 50 years, I tried to lose weight on every diet known to man. I felt out of control with food — especially sugar and carbs — and no longer trusted my body or myself. Hormonal changes, low energy, and increasing body pain only intensified as I became older.  I finally realized that if I was going to create sustainable weight loss and take my health seriously, I needed to understand nutrition in a way that felt simple and doable. I realized I didn’t need another strict plan—I needed one that fit me. Something simple, doable, and sustainable. A lifestyle that made health feel lighter and more enjoyable. And now, I’m ready to share it with you. If you are a woman over 50 who is tired of fighting the food noise, doubting yourself and starting over every Monday AND you want to feel in control again, have energy and move with ease without strict diets and guilt, you are in the right place. Grab those comfy shoes, pop in those earbuds and let's move like our knees didn't just make that weird noise.

    127 | Why "Just Eat Less" Stops Working After 50

    If you’re a woman over 50 who feels frustrated with dieting, constantly hungry, or confused about why nothing seems to work anymore — this episode is for you. Many popular diets were created for younger bodies, male metabolism, or quick results — not for midlife women navigating hormonal changes, inflammation, muscle loss, and the effects of decades of dieting. That’s why what worked in your 30s or 40s may feel impossible now. In today’s episode, we talk about why past diets failed (and why that failure was never your fault), how sugar, processed foods, and refined carbs impact cravings, mood, energy, and aging, and what a more sustainable, body-honoring approach to weight loss after 50 actually looks like. This episode is designed to help you release shame, understand your body better, and feel hopeful again — without fear, restriction, or another “start over Monday” plan. If you’re ready to stop blaming yourself and start working with your body instead of against it, this episode will meet you right where you are. 💛 Ready for personalized support?
