Behind the Body: Fat Loss, Metabolism & Muscle for Women Over 40
You’re eating salads for lunch, walking daily, and skipping dessert, but the older you get, the tighter your jeans get. You’ve tried cutting carbs, adding more cardio, and intermittent fasting. Your body is changing faster than your habits, and you’re tired of feeling like it’s out of your control.
Welcome to Behind the Body! I’m Andrea Cutuk, NASM-Certified Nutrition and Fitness Coach, and I like to talk openly and honestly about weight loss (or lack thereof) after 40.
After losing over 20 pounds and maintaining it for almost 10 years through perimenopause, I talk about exactly what causes weight gain when hormones shift and what to do about it. No generic advice from 25-year-old fitness influencers. No extreme diets or programs that last two weeks. Just a woman like you who’s been there, done that, with real strategies that work when estrogen and energy drop, metabolism slows, and you’re juggling work, family, and a social life.
Each week, we’ll chat about topics such as:
- Why you gain weight around your midsection even when you eat the same foods - How to lose fat without giving up restaurants, wine, or your sanity
- What specific foods and habits help (and hurt) fat loss after 40
- How to build strength and boost metabolism so you’re aging in the best way possible
This isn’t necessarily about motivation. It’s about understanding the science of perimenopause and menopause weight gain, and getting practical tools that fit your actual life. You don’t need another 90-day challenge. You need sustainable habits that work for your lifestyle, and forever.
I hope you’ll join the Behind the Body community!
