Everyone wants faster results — but few talk about the trade-offs that come with them.
In this episode, we’re breaking down what it really takes to accelerate fat loss in perimenopause and menopause — without wrecking your metabolism, hormones, or sanity.
You’ll learn:
⚖️ What “realistic” fat loss actually looks like (and how much you can expect to lose per week)
💪 The healthy body fat % ranges for women over 40 — and the danger zone where hormones start to crash
🔥 The five trade-offs that truly move the needle: consistency, structure, recovery, patience, and boundaries
🧠 Why faster doesn’t always mean better — and how to speed up results without triggering fat-storage mode
💤 How stress, sleep, and recovery impact fat loss just as much as your workouts
If you’ve been doing “everything right” but still feel stuck, this episode will help you understand what your body is asking for — and how to choose the right trade-offs for your season of life.
