So, you’ve been doing the 16:8 intermittent fasting thing, huh?

Maybe you're wondering if it's actually helping you lose weight or if it might be doing more harm than good.

You’re not alone! This is a question a lot of ladies have when they dive into the world of intermittent fasting.

In this episode, I'm sharing a portion of a recording from a live group coaching call with my VIP clients, coaching one of them through this very issue.

We’ll talk about weight loss, energy levels, and how intermittent fasting affects your metabolism, especially during perimenopause.

This is a common question I get, and I have many thoughts on fasting. I’ll cover more in a future episode because it’s something we have to be careful with, especially during the perimenopausal period of our lives. So, I thought I'd give you a little VIP access ticket to come in and listen to how it goes down inside my program.

As you listen, I want you to be encouraged to take notes and ask yourself, "How does this apply to me?" This isn't just about listening to the coaching call, but really taking the advice I'm offering and implementing it for yourself.

We'll cover topics like managing sleep, energy and timing of meals that support your metabolism. If you've been dealing with fatigue, cravings, and poor sleep, this episode is for you.

Tune in, take notes, and let’s get to it!

Have you ever had these thoughts?

"If I can only lose weight, I know I will feel healthy again.... I will get my energy back and be able to sleep through the night."

This is a common sentiment I hear from my clients.

But is it actually true? Is it as simple as this? Will losing weight actually make you healthier?

Let’s find out in today’s episode, and I’ll explain how you can achieve both very simply!

Many women, especially those in perimenopause and menopause, struggle with fatigue, bloating, and other symptoms like brain fog and constipation. They often think that losing weight fast will solve these issues.

However, true health involves more than just the number on the scale. In this episode, we dive into the complex relationship between weight loss and health.

If you’ve ever thought that losing weight is the magic key to health, or if you’re struggling with low energy and cravings despite being thin, this episode is for you.

There’s a point in our life when health and weight loss become significant interests, and that’s what I want to share today.

I see it as four categories:

1. Heavy and Exhausted Midlifer: Slow metabolism, low energy, tired, sleep issues, bloated, emotional eater.
2. Healthy but Heavy: Feels good, but can’t shed the weight.
3. Hustle Midlifer: Skinny but not healthy, hustling to stay thin, undereating, overexercising, food-obsessed.
4. Fierce Femme: Lean and healthy, metabolism doing the heavy lifting, food freedom, balanced hormones, healthy mindset towards food.

How do we get to the fourth category, becoming a fierce femme? 

That's what we'll cover on this episode.

Bottom line: You choose your category—you don’t have to stick to one. You can feel and look better after 40 than in your 20s!

In today’s episode, we’re diving into the world of macros to help you kick-start your weight loss into high gear!

Macros can be confusing, but understanding them is crucial, especially for women over 40.

We’ll cover what macros are, the important ratios you need to know, and how to balance them simply and effectively.

Stay tuned to learn how mastering macros can boost your metabolism and enhance your health.

Key Points Discussed:

• What are Macros?

  • Macros, short for macronutrients, are the nutrients your body needs in large amounts: proteins, fats, and carbohydrates.
  • Understanding each macronutrient and its role is essential for balanced nutrition and effective weight management.

• Why Focus on Macros?

  • After 40, stress and insulin resistance can slow down your metabolism, making it harder to lose weight.
  • A proper macro balance, with an emphasis on more protein and fluctuating carbs, can help combat these issues.
  • By focusing on the right macro ratios, you can improve your metabolism, manage stress load, and reduce insulin resistance.

• How to Balance Macros?

  • Start by understanding your body’s needs and calculating the right proportions of proteins, fats, and carbs.
  • Incorporate more protein to support muscle maintenance and increase satiety.
  • Adjust your carb intake based on your activity level and metabolic response.
  • Regular physical activity is crucial for effectively utilizing the energy from your balanced macros.

Are you trying really hard to lose weight—harder than ever actually—but the weight keeps piling on since you hit your 40s? You’re not alone; this is a common problem for so many of us. In today’s episode, I’m going to share the 3 common mistakes you may be making that are causing you to put on weight and how to correct them.

I’ve mentioned in past episodes that at 45, I gained 10 lbs overnight, and I believe I was causing myself more problems that were contributing to my weight gain. It’s all about stress. As soon as I learned about female hormones and how they impact our cortisol levels and, in turn, our metabolism, I quickly made the shift and changed the things that were causing subtle stress on my body. This not only helped with weight loss but also reduced anxiety and boosted my energy.

 Three Common Mistakes

1. Wrong Type of Exercise

2. Fasting Leading to Cortisol Spikes

3. Hectic Mornings

To recap, successful weight loss after 40 involves avoiding three common mistakes: choosing the wrong type of exercise, improper fasting, and chaotic mornings or lack of sleep. By addressing these issues, you can boost your metabolism, balance your hormones, and shed stubborn weight.

In health!

If you're feeling more bloated since hitting your 40s or are post-menopausal, today's episode is for you.

Bloating, weight gain, and fatigue can be especially challenging during perimenopause and menopause.

But is gluten really the problem, or is it something deeper?

That's what we'll be uncovering in today's podcast.

In this episode, we're diving deep into the buzzworthy topic of hormone balance and its impact on weight loss after 40. If you've ever been frustrated by those extra pounds that won't budge, no matter how little you eat or how much you exercise, this episode is for you.

You've probably heard the term "balance your hormones" all over social media. But what does it really mean? And why is it so crucial, especially as we hit our 40s? Today, we're unraveling the truth behind hormonal changes and weight gain, and giving you three actionable tips to help you navigate this challenging time.

Hormone Balance and Weight Loss: Here's the deal: it doesn't matter how little you eat. If your hormones are out of whack, you will NOT lose weight. Especially during perimenopause. In my 20s, cutting calories was enough to shed a few pounds. But at 48, it's a different story. Today, I’ll explain why this happens and share three essential nutrients that can help rebalance your hormones and support weight loss.

What's Happening:

• Progesterone Decline and Estrogen Rise: With declining progesterone and fluctuating estrogen, your body holds onto fat to produce hormones, especially post-menopause.
• Cortisol Increase: High cortisol levels lead to ghrelin and leptin resistance, insulin resistance, and more fat storage. It's a vicious cycle.
• Estrogen and Type 2 Diabetes: Estrogen helps protect against Type 2 diabetes, but as its levels drop during perimenopause and post-menopause, insulin resistance sets in.

Balancing Hormones Naturally: While bioidentical hormones and herbal supplements have their place, I focus on balancing hormones naturally through diet. Nutrients, particularly minerals, are key.

Practical Takeaway: Tune into this episode to discover the three essential nutrients needed to rebalance your hormones. Learn the recommended amounts and the best food sources for each nutrient.

Are you over 40 and struggling to shed stubborn weight despite trying everything from eating less to exercising more, detoxing, and intermittent fasting?

This episode is for you.

Learn why weight loss can be more challenging after 40 and discover how boosting your metabolism can turn things around.

First, understand that this isn't your fault—your body isn’t broken; it just needs some adjustments to start releasing weight. I'll explain what metabolism is and how you can enhance your metabolic rate for effective weight loss.

Some signs of a sluggish metabolism include: 

1. Digestive issues: bloating, constipation, diarrhea, GERD, or acid reflux.
2. Low energy, foggy mind, forgetfulness.
3. Lab results: insulin resistance, thyroid issues, fatty liver.
4. Thinning hair, brittle nails, skin issues (malabsorption).
5. Anemia: low iron, cold extremities.
6. Varicose veins, hemorrhoids, angry outbursts (liver stagnation).
7. Migraines, racing thoughts, lack of focus and mental clarity.
8. Sleep issues: trouble falling asleep or staying asleep.

These symptoms are your body’s way of signalling that something is wrong. Ignoring and attributing them to aging is like ignoring your car’s check engine light. Addressing these metabolic signals is crucial for effective weight loss.

Tune into today's episode to discover how to reverse these symptoms and improve your metabolism.

If you’re waking up with energy and feeling good until the afternoon, today's tips will be very helpful. If you're dragging yourself through the whole day with no energy, that’s a deeper issue we’ll need to address in another episode.

If you struggle with healthy eating consistency and often start off with good intentions only to throw in the towel after eating something you 'shouldn't,' then this episode is for you!

Welcome back to episode 9! Today, I'm sharing a strategy that changed everything for me. It helped me overcome my perfectionist, all-or-nothing mentality towards food, and I want to share it with you.

Food is one of the most difficult patterns to break. Many people wonder why they can't just make better choices when they know what to do.

Research shows that food addiction is hard to overcome because our relationship with food is deeply ingrained and emotionally connected, starting from our first connection to our mothers.

If you find this helpful, go back and listen to episode #3.

These two mindsets combined will help you make lasting changes to your eating habits.

Do you love your carbs but feel like you need to cut them out of your diet to see weight loss results? If so, this episode is for you!

I love this topic because I love my carbs, and I'm not willing to cut them out of my diet. I’ll be sharing some of my favorite strategies to enjoy them while achieving your weight loss goals.

Why can carbs be problematic? It’s often due to insulin resistance. Not everyone has to be super careful – if your fasting blood sugar, insulin, A1C, and triglycerides are fine, you might not have a weight gain issue (check your thyroid) and don't have to be as cautious with carbs.

But for many of us, especially those gaining weight around the midsection, losing weight can be a challenge if we're not careful with our carb intake.

In today's episode, I share 3 of my favourite strategies to enjoy carbs without compromising your weight loss goals.

Have you ever wondered if your bloodwork could help you understand why you're gaining weight and provide strategies to lose it? If so, you’re in the right place.

In today's episode, we’re going to explore several key blood markers that can shed light on the root causes of weight gain, particularly focusing on markers related to insulin resistance and imbalanced blood sugar. But first, a quick disclaimer: I’m not a doctor. As a Registered Holistic Nutritionist and Root Cause Protocol Practitioner, I’m trained to read specific blood markers, but I don’t diagnose. Always consult with your doctor for medical advice.

We’ll discuss common tests like A1C, fasting blood glucose, fasting insulin, and triglycerides, which, if left unchecked, can lead to T2 Diabetes.

So, if you’ve noticed signs of insulin resistance like increased thirst, fatigue, frequent urination, or any of the other symptoms I’ll mention later, this episode is especially for you. Let’s dive in and explore how understanding these blood markers can help you take control of your health and weight.

In love & health,

Lara

Have you ever been on a diet, lost weight, and felt amazing? You think, "This time is different! I'll maintain the weight loss," and maybe you even get rid of your pre-weight loss clothes. But then, life happens. Fast forward a few months, and not only have you regained the weight, but you've gained even more. If this sounds like you, you have to stay tuned to this episode.

Before we dive in, I want to thank each and every one of you for tuning in. In just a few weeks, you've moved this podcast to #2 in all of Canada in the nutrition category. I’m truly blown away! I can't believe how many of you have subscribed and are listening.

Thank you!

If you like what you hear, the best way to support me is to subscribe so you don't miss future episodes and leave a review. I read each one, and they inspire me to keep going. 

Okay, let’s dig into today’s episode.

We’ll start with why diets don’t work and then get into what does. Diets often fail because they have a finite mentality – a start and end point – and they’re a disconnected approach, relying on external regimens instead of listening to your body. We need to address the root issues, whether they’re physiological, psychological, or habitual.

So, what do we do instead?

• Make small, gradual changes that become habits.
• Make changes from a place of already being that person. Instead of saying, "I am going to become healthy," start making decisions from a place of already being healthy.
• Develop a deeper "why" beyond just losing weight. Keep asking yourself why it’s important until you get to a strong, motivating reason.
• Start small – one habit at a time – and keep track of your progress. Tracking makes it rewarding.

Tune in to learn how to make sustainable changes that will help you achieve lasting health and weight loss. Let's transform our approach and our lives together!

In today's episode, we discover the overlap of symptoms between perimenopause and elevated cortisol and help you uncover the steps to take to reverse these pesky symptoms.

Common symptoms of both perimenopause and elevated cortisol: 

• Weight Gain (especially in your midsection)
• Menstrual changes
• Increased cellulite
• Changes in gut health
• Accumulating belly fat
• Skin changes like itching, hives, or thinning
• Deteriorating energy levels
• Disrupted sleep patterns
• Waning patience
• And yes, the well-known hot flashes and low libido associated with menopause

Many women are misdiagnosed with anxiety disorders and prescribed antidepressants when the real issue might be hormonal imbalances. It's crucial to understand that minerals govern hormones, and during stressful times, your body loses minerals faster than before, including essential B vitamins.

So, what can you do to manage these changes and support your body's needs?

1. Get Your Bloodwork Tested: Identify any deficiencies or imbalances.
2. Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis: Gain insights into your mineral levels.
3. Replenish Through Food and Supplements: Log your food intake to see what minerals you’re getting and identify gaps. Then, begin to replenish nutrients either through diet or supplements.

Join us as we explore these strategies in depth and provide practical tips to help you navigate this challenging but manageable phase of life.

Understanding your body's needs is the first step toward reclaiming your health and vitality.

Tune in now to learn how to lower cortisol levels and effectively lose weight after 40!

Hi beautiful!

As we hit our 40s, our bodies undergo significant changes, leaving many of us feeling frustrated and confused. If you've been experiencing sudden weight gain, increased anxiety, and persistent fatigue, know that you're not alone. In fact, these symptoms are often exacerbated by hormonal fluctuations, particularly during perimenopause and menopause.

But fear not! In this episode, I'll share five simple yet powerful tips to kickstart your journey toward a healthier, happier you—without overhauling your diet.

We'll begin by exploring the crucial role of cortisol in hormonal weight gain and how chronic stress can sabotage your efforts to slim down. Through the inspiring story of Shannon, a busy soccer mom who transformed her health, we'll uncover the importance of integrating lifestyle changes to regulate your nervous system and optimize your body's natural processes.

Here are the five tips we'll cover:

1. Morning Rituals
2. Deep grounding
3. Morning Light Exposure: link to red light I recommend (Use code HERWAY) for a 10% discount: https://lifeblud.co/products/relax?ref=cy89s84k
4. Hydration

By incorporating simple yet effective strategies into your daily routine, you'll not only support weight loss but also enhance overall well-being. Remember, it's about progress, not perfection—so don't hesitate to experiment and find what works best for you.

Hi lovely,

Are you waiting until January to start your weight loss journey?

If you’ve ever thought, “I’ll focus on my health after the holidays,” this episode is for you.

In this episode I break down why starting in January might not be the best strategy for long-term success, sharing surprising research about the stress of New Year’s resolutions and how they often lead to burnout and early dropout from weight loss programs.

I also tackle the dangers of the “all-in or all-out” mentality that often fuels yo-yo dieting, making weight loss even harder in the future.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why waiting until January could be sabotaging your weight loss goals
• The negative impact of yo-yo dieting on your metabolism and mental health
• How starting now with simple, manageable steps can set you up for success
• Why focusing on small changes now can make the holiday season more enjoyable and stress-free
