Wise Food Choices with Valeria Lopez
Have you been eating less, exercising more, and still watching the scale creep up? If that sounds familiar, there is nothing wrong with you.
I’m Valeria Lopez, Licensed Nutritionist and Certified Health Coach with 25 years of experience helping women over 40 lose weight, balance hormones, and feel like themselves again.
After working with thousands of women who had tried every diet, I kept seeing the same pattern.
The problem was never willpower. It was a "mismatch" between what their bodies were asking for, and what they were taught to do... basically a failed attempt to fix something that isn´t broken
On this podcast, I share science-backed, practical guidance on:
→ Why weight loss after 40 requires a completely different approach.
→ How your gut microbiome and hormones influence your weight, not just calories
→ How to eat to support your hormones, balance blood sugar, and build metabolic flexibility
→ The truth about intermittent fasting, carbs, and calorie counting for women in perimenopause and menopause
→ Simple, real-food strategies you can implement without counting, weighing, or obsessing
New episodes every week for women who are done fighting their bodies and ready to work with them instead.
This is not about restriction or punishment. It is about finally understanding what your body actually needs and giving it exactly that.
