If you've ever said, "My metabolism must be broken," this episode is your permission slip to stop blaming yourself. Because here's the truth: Your metabolism isn't broken. It's underfed, overtrained, and over the old diet games. In this Fit Girl Magic podcast episode, I'm breaking down why years of "doing it right" eventually backfire for women over 40 and why pushing harder is usually the exact thing keeping you stuck.

This winter, I'm not shrinking. I'm building. No crash dieting. No January panic. Just real strength and real momentum. Because here's the truth most women never get told: You cannot diet your way into better body composition. If you've been restricting for years, your body isn't broken… it's guarded. Muscle is the midlife game-changer: Stronger metabolism Better hormone support More energy Less joint pain More confidence in your body And the scale? It only shows gravity's opinion. That's it.
