Have you been eating less, working out more, and still can'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.


You'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. 


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. 
 



“Eating less to weigh less is not metabolic nutrition, but eating more to weigh less is metabolic nutrition.” Dani Conway
