Coaches Corner: Why Women Can’t Lose Weight in Midlife (and How Keto and Carnivore Make It Worse)

Coaches Corner: Why Women Can’t Lose Weight in Midlife (and How Keto and Carnivore Make It Worse)

Published 3 months, 3 weeks ago
Description

On the Evolving Wellness podcast, host Sarah interviews her co-coach Becky about menopause and weight loss, focusing on simple behaviors that sabotage progress and the importance of addressing root causes. Becky shares her history of dieting (including Weight Watchers, keto, and 2.5 years of carnivore), a complete hysterectomy at 29 that put her into surgical menopause, intolerance to HRT, and struggles with insulin-resistant weight gain and Hashimoto’s that did not improve on long-term carnivore. She describes improvements after reintroducing foods, implementing circadian practices, balancing macros (including adding carbs), focusing on nervous system regulation, and using lab work to guide medication changes, leading to Hashimoto’s remission and nearly 63 pounds lost while maintaining muscle. They emphasize consistency over perfection, honest self-assessment, community support, and the roles of light, sleep, and adequate nourishment, and promote an info session and upcoming Blueprint cohort starting June 22.
