How to Become Unrecognizable in 2026: The 5 Decisions Women Over 40 Need to Make Now If you're doing what you did last January and getting what you got last February (disappointed, frustrated, right back where you started), this episode is for you. I'm giving you the real talk about why your old weight loss strategies stopped working after 40. Spoiler: it's not because you lack discipline. You lack DATA. In this episode, I'm breaking down the five specific decisions that will actually move the needle on your weight loss, your energy, and your body composition. These aren't the surface fixes you've been trying. These are the foundational shifts that make everything else work. One of my clients literally cleaned her living room and lost 10 pounds. I know it sounds wild, but I explain exactly how your external environment is directly connected to your internal chaos (and your food choices). Plus, I'm sharing my own journey with insulin resistance. My fasting insulin went from 6.8 to 4.8 over 20 months, and that shift changed everything about how my body burns fat, regulates appetite, and maintains energy. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why your doctor's version of "fine" is keeping you fat, exhausted, and hormonally wrecked (and what labs you actually need to request) The birth control vs. HRT double standard that no one talks about (birth control has 10X the clot risk but doctors hand it out like Skittles) How cleaning ONE space in your home can break the mental clutter that's sabotaging your food choices (this is the breakthrough most women never see coming) The exact protein target you need to preserve muscle and actually change your body composition after 40 (hint: it's way more than you're eating now) Why daily weigh-ins are sabotaging you and what to track instead (weekly averages will save your sanity) How to know if you're a simple case or complex case (and whether you need group coaching or private 1:1 support) The real cost of NOT solving your weight loss struggle this year (it's not just financial) If you're tired of spinning your wheels and ready to work WITH your body instead of against it, this episode gives you the complete roadmap.

If you’re ending this year quietly disappointed in yourself, this episode is for you. Not because you failed.Not because you need fixing.But because overachieving women are rarely taught how to end a season without turning it into a self indictment. This episode is a conversation about the pressure no one talks about. The kind that shows up when goals go unfinished, bodies change, and life asks more than expected. No motivation.No plans.No promises. Just perspective, relief, and permission to stop proving before January arrives. Listen if you want to close this year without shame.    

If you are eating less, trying harder, and still gaining weight after 40, this episode explains why. I lost 30 pounds in my 30s and kept it off for over a decade. Then perimenopause hit. Weight gain. Muscle loss. Brain fog. Inflammation. And zero answers from traditional medicine. So I rebuilt my entire approach to weight loss from the ground up. In this episode, I break down what actually works for women over 40 in 2026 and why most advice is outdated. This is not about more discipline. It is about using the right formula for the body you have now. Listen if weight loss feels harder than it used to and you want clarity instead of more rules. What You’ll Walk Away Understanding Why stress reduction matters more than willpower Why eating less backfires in midlife Why the scale stopped telling the truth How muscle protects metabolism after 40 Why blood sugar drives cravings and energy How hormones, minerals, and data remove guesswork Where GLP-1s fit and where they do not Why sustainable weight loss is an identity shift One thing this episode will doIt will help you stop blaming yourself and start using a smarter approach.

You know that Monday-morning moment when you step on the scale after a fun weekend… and it’s up three to five pounds? Cue the mental chaos: What did I eat? Why did I do that?

If you’re planning dessert halfway through dinner, you don’t have a sugar addiction—you have a satisfaction deficit.

Struggling to stay consistent with weight loss? It’s not your food, hormones, or willpower—it’s your why. In this episode of Stop. Dieting. Forever., Jennifer Dent Brown reveals the Core Why Activity: a powerful, psychology-backed exercise that anchors your motivation and helps you lose weight consistently—even when motivation fades.

The weight loss industry is shifting fast. Discover the three strategies women are using to lose weight in 2025, why over 80% regain it, and the anti-diet approach that actually works. Learn how to outsmart the food industry, regulate stress, and shift your identity to become the woman who keeps the weight off for good.

If you’ve been trying to “think” your way to weight loss while your body is in fight-or-flight, you’re working against biology. In this episode, I’m joined by nervous system and subconscious rewire coach, Colleen Faltot, to show you how to calm your body so fat loss finally feels doable, especially if you’re 40+ and done with white-knuckling. We talk about what “safety” really means for a woman over 40, why your cravings aren’t moral failures (they’re messages), and how to create micro-moments of regulation that compound into lasting results. You’ll hear identity-based weight loss in action: become the woman whose body feels safe, and the scale follows. What You’ll Learn in This Episode How nervous system regulation accelerates weight loss over 40 The three types of hunger Simple somatic tools Daily habits to reduce overwhelm How to stop autopilot eating by reconnecting body signals ABOUT OUR GUEST Colleen Faltot knows firsthand what it’s like to look “successful” on the outside while quietly unraveling on the inside. After years of overachieving, people-pleasing, and spiraling in love, she realized that the real problem wasn’t her mindset—it was her nervous system. That discovery changed everything. Now, as a relationship coach and creator of the REGAL™ Method, Colleen helps high-achieving women regulate their nervous systems, release old survival patterns, and feel emotionally safe—both in their bodies and in love. Her work blends somatic healing, identity repatterning, and emotional leadership to create a deeper kind of transformation—one that talk therapy alone can’t reach. She believes that when a woman learns to regulate her body, she stops chasing love and starts receiving it like the Queen she is.Colleen’s mission is to show women that emotional safety isn’t something you wait for—it’s something you build from within.

If you’ve been eating less, watching your portions, and being “good”... but the scale won’t budge, this episode is for you. I’m sharing why eating less can actually stall weight loss after 40 and what to do instead to break through a plateau. Most women think discipline is the answer. The truth? It’s not just about the food on your plate—it’s about your weight identity, the deep beliefs you have about your body, and how you think weight loss should work. When you shift both your nutrition strategy and your identity, you can finally see results that last. Inside this episode, you’ll also hear about my client who was stuck in a plateau, even though she was following my Satisfaction Scale perfectly. What we discovered about her eating habits will surprise you and might be exactly what you need to hear right now.
