Behind the Body: Fat Loss, Metabolism & Muscle for Women Over 40
If you're a woman over 40 struggling with perimenopause or menopause weight gain, this podcast is for you.
I'm Andrea Cutuk, NASM-Certified Nutrition and Fitness Coach. I lost 20 pounds in my mid-30s and have maintained it for 10 years, through perimenopause, hormonal shifts, and real life. I'm not someone who lost weight six months ago and started a podcast. I'm someone who's lived in this body, figured it out, and has been maintaining the results long enough to know what actually works and sticks.
Every Monday, Behind the Body covers the real reasons women over 40 gain weight, can't lose it, and what to actually do about it. No generic advice. No extreme diets. Just honest, science-backed strategies built for your hormones, your metabolism, and your lifestyle in this phase of life.
Topics we cover:
- Building a body you're proud of in a sustainable way
- Perimenopause weight gain and why your body is changing
- Fat loss after 40 without restriction or deprivation
- How to boost metabolism and build a stronger body composition
- Sustainable weight loss strategies that work long-term
- Strength training for women over 40 - where to start and why it matters
- Hormone-related weight gain, cortisol, and belly fat
- How to lose fat without giving up restaurants, wine, your social life, or sanity
This isn't about motivation or 90-day challenges. It's about understanding the reality of menopause and perimenopause weight gain, and building habits that last.
New episodes every Monday.

I’m so excited to kick off Season 3 of Behind the Body! In this short episode, I’m reintroducing myself, sharing what’s new this season, and giving you a look at where we’re headed next.
If you’ve been listening from the start, you know Anna and I began this show together. She’s still my best friend ever and will pop in when she can, but with our schedules pulling in different directions, I’ll be hosting solo for now.
This season, I’m doubling down on what really helps women in their late 30s, 40s, and beyond with practical, evidence-based conversations about fitness, nutrition, metabolism, hormones, and aging well. I’ll break down the science, talk real-life, and give you tools to lose fat, build muscle, balance your hormones, and feel stronger and more confident in your body.
Hit play to hear what’s ahead and how Behind the Body will help you understand your body better, master your metabolism, and age powerfully.
