Why Women Over 40 Can't Lose Weight (And It's Not Calories) | Dani Conway

<p>Have you been eating less, working out more, and still can&apos;t seem to shed a single pound? I sat down with Dani Conway to explore why traditional dieting is actually working against your body. Dani overcame a 65-pound weight struggle and severe hormone dysfunction and now helps midlife women do the same. </p><p> You&apos;ll discover why calorie restriction and intermittent fasting are two of the biggest fat-loss mistakes women over 40 make. Dani shares how decades of yo-yo dieting actually downregulate your metabolism, making conventional diets progressively less effective.  </p><p> She explains why fixing your gut and detoxification pathways should come before addressing hormones. We also cover why protein intake (at least 30–40g per meal) is non-negotiable for body recomposition and how resistance training paired with the right nutrition strategy is the true path to the lean, strong body most women are working so hard for.   </p><p> </p><p><em>“Eating less to weigh less is not metabolic nutrition, but eating more to weigh less is metabolic nutrition.” Dani Conway</em></p><p> </p><p><em>Support the show and get 50% off MCT oil with free shipping—just leave us a review on iTunes and Spotify and let us know! </em><a href='https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/live-beyond-the-norms/id1714886566'><em>https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/live-beyond-the-norms/id1714886566</em></a></p><p> </p><p>Resources:</p><p>The Wellness Collective Community: <a href='https://nutritionthenaturalway.com/'>https://nutritionthenaturalway.com/</a> </p><p>Weight Loss Accelerator Program: <a href='https://nutritionthenaturalway.com/group-coaching-and-accountability/'>https://nutritionthenaturalway.com/group-coaching-and-accountability/</a> </p><p> </p><p>About Dani Conway</p><p>Dani Conway is a board-certified functional diagnostic nutrition practitioner and the founder of The Fat Burn Formula for Women Over 40.
