Have you been cutting calories, avoiding fat, and still wondering why weight loss feels harder with age? You’re not alone—and it’s not your fault.

In this episode, we’re breaking down why traditional low-fat, low-calorie diets backfire for adults over 50—and how they may be sabotaging your energy, metabolism, and long-term health.

If you’re stuck in a cycle of losing and regaining the same weight, hitting frustrating plateaus, or feeling like you have to eat less and suffer more just to make progress—this episode is for you. We’ll show you how hormones, not willpower, are the real driver of fat loss after 50—and what actually works instead.

If you’ve ever thought, “Why isn’t this working anymore?” — press play. The answer might change everything.

Did you know high blood pressure usually has no symptoms? According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about half of adults have high blood pressure, defined as a systolic (top) blood pressure greater than 130 mmHg or a diastolic (bottom) blood pressure greater than 80 mmHg, or are taking medication for high blood pressure.

What’s more concerning, is only about 1 in 4 adults with high blood pressure have it under control. Having high blood pressure increases your risk of heart attack and stroke. And it’s estimated that in the United States alone, $131 billion is spent on the condition each year.

On today’s episode, you’ll hear from Jay Shah, MD. He is an expert cardiologist, having practiced at Massachusetts General Hospital and the Mayo Clinic, and now is Chief Medical Officer for Aktiia.

He believes the time has come in medicine for individuals to understand and optimize their own health. This includes a better understanding of your blood pressure, and not relying on a sole reading at the doctor’s office to say “You have high blood pressure, take this medication.”

In this interview, he talks about a better way to measure high blood pressure - continuously and automatically. Similar to a continuous glucose monitor but for blood pressure. For the right person, this technology can be life-saving.

Highlights From This Episode: 

• Prevalence of high blood pressure.
• Importance of proper medication dosing.
• What is Aktiia and how to use it properly.
• Why a continuous blood pressure device increases the Hawthorne effect and behavior change. 
• Lifestyle changes to lower blood pressure.

Dr. Anne Peled, MD is a surgeon, an educator, a researcher, a mother, an athlete, and a breast cancer survivor. Just a few years into starting her own thriving breast cancer and plastic surgery practice, she was diagnosed with breast cancer herself, which gives her the unusual perspective of both the expert and the patient.

With her husband Ziv Peled, MD, also a board-certified plastic surgeon, she is currently pioneering an entirely new way of treating breast cancer with a combined mastectomy and reconstruction technique that preserves the nipple, the skin, and the sensation, with manageable recovery and hospital time.

She started researching this method of surgery when she herself was faced with the decision about what treatment to have for breast cancer, and there was no option like this available to her at that time. Her goal is for women to come out of her care feeling stronger than they ever have been, and it is this holistic approach to healthcare that is the underpinning to her practice and her teaching.

We hope you enjoy this episode and share it with someone you know who may benefit from knowing this kind of procedure is an option if they are facing breast cancer.

Highlights From This Episode

• Dr. Peled’s story on her experience with breast cancer.
• Dr. Peled’s story on her and his husband’s “sensation preserving mastectomy.”
• How to prevent breast cancer/how to reduce risk for breast cancer.

• How to identify if you are in the high risk category for breast cancer.
• Insulin resistance and breast cancer risk.

This interview on the Reshape Your Health Podcast is especially motivating, especially if you have a social drinking habit. After this interview, I committed to not drink for 30 days. Prior to this interview, I would have no more than 1 drink per week, so it wasn’t a big stretch. I’d encourage you to do the same after listening to this interview.

One common barrier we hear to people achieving their health and weight loss goals is a lack of self-control or self-discipline.

We believe self-control is a short-term strategy, not a long-term one. You’re more likely to reach your goals if you have a strong “why” and systems set-up for your success.

But you will always need self-control in the little moments of decision during the day that put you on the trajectory to make better, or worse, subsequent choices for the rest of the day.

Tracy Pleschourt, the Founder of Self-Made U and the Host of Secrets of the Self-Made Podcast helps men and women achieve their goals and solve all problems FAST by developing SELF-control.

Join this interview today to learn how she developed this operating system to improve her own self-control to stop overeating and overdrinking.
