The Metabolism Shift: A Natural Approach to Weight-Loss After 35

Tues Sep 16 · 6:30 PM
Virtual on Zoom
Free Registration

Weight can start behaving differently after 40, even when your habits haven't changed. In this free live class, I'll walk through the metabolic and hormonal shifts behind that, and the changes that actually help. Not another diet. A different starting point.

You Will Learn:

• Why weight loss gets harder in midlife, and why it isn't about willpower
• How hormones, stress, and inflammation shape cravings and stubborn weight
• What tends to backfire when your metabolism is already shifting
• Practical, sustainable steps toward steadier energy, better sleep, and weight that moves
