8 | Eat Carbs Without Gaining Weight After 40: 3 Nutrition Tips

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.

7 | Why You Can't Lose Weight After 40: How Bloodwork Can Reveal the Answers

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

6 | Over 40 and Want to Lose Weight? Why Dieting Isn’t the Answer – And What Works Instead

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!

5 | The Top Strategy to Lower Cortisol and Lose Weight After 40

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?
Get Your Bloodwork Tested: Identify any deficiencies or imbalances.
Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis: Gain insights into your mineral levels.
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!
