How to Fix Your Metabolism After Undereating (Step-by-Step Plan for Women 35+) LEA pt 2
Description
Think you might be dealing with Low Energy Availability (LEA)?
This is Part 2 of my LEA series and this is where we fix it.
Last week, I broke down why so many women are doing everything right but still not losing fat.
I made a free LEA quiz for you, it’s super simple, just an informal Google Doc, and you’ll see your results right at the bottom.You can find it on my Instagram: @racfitness_

This week, I’m giving you the exact step-by-step plan to repair your metabolism and finally see results.
If you’re a woman 35+ who is:
- working out 5–6 days a week with no physique change
- stuck in a fat loss plateau
- gaining weight (especially in your midsection) despite eating “clean”
- dealing with low energy, poor sleep, or constant cravings
…your metabolism may have adapted to under-eating, and this episode is your roadmap out.
Inside this episode, I walk you through:
- How to increase calories strategically (reverse dieting / primer phase)
- Why your body stores fat when under-fueled
- The hormonal impact of LEA (cortisol, thyroid, leptin)
- How to anchor your protein for body recomposition
- Why lifting weights is non-negotiable if you want to look toned
- What to expect during the process (including temporary scale increases)
This phase isn’t about fat loss.
It’s about creating a body that’s capable of fat loss again.
Your body isn’t broken it’s adapted.
Now it’s time to rebuild.
