Behind the Body: Fat Loss, Metabolism & Muscle for Women Over 40

If you're a woman in your 40s or 50s struggling with perimenopause or menopause weight gain, this podcast is for you. I'm Andrea Cutuk, a double-certified nutrition and fitness coach. I lost 20 pounds in my mid-30s and have maintained it for 10 years, through perimenopause, hormonal shifts, and real life. I'm not someone who lost weight six months ago and started a podcast. I'm someone who's lived in this body, figured it out, and has been maintaining the results long enough to know what actually works and sticks. Every Monday, Behind the Body covers the real reasons women over 40 gain weight, can't lose it, and what to actually do about it. No generic advice. No extreme diets. Just honest, science-backed strategies built for your hormones, your metabolism, and your lifestyle in this phase of life. Topics we cover: Building a body you're proud of in a sustainable wayPerimenopause weight gain and why your body is changingFat loss after 40 without restriction or deprivationHow to boost metabolism and build a stronger body compositionSustainable weight loss strategies that work long-termStrength training for women over 40 - where to start and why it mattersHormone-related weight gain, cortisol, and belly fatHow to lose fat without giving up restaurants, wine, your social life, or sanity This isn't about motivation or 90-day challenges. It's about understanding the reality of menopause and perimenopause weight gain, and building habits that last.  New episodes every Monday. 📩 Join the BTB newsletter: https://behindthebody.com/newsletter 🧪 Take the free Metabolism Type Quiz: https://behindthebody.com/quiz
