If you’re stuck in a cycle of losing and regaining the same weight, hitting frustrating plateaus, or feeling like you have to eat less and suffer more just to make progress—this episode is for you. We’ll show you how hormones, not willpower, are the real driver of fat loss after 50—and what actually works instead.
