Still Cutting Calories After 40? Here’s What You Should Do InsteadThis episode of Asking for a Friend is sponsored by Better Help. https://betterhelp.com/askingforafriendLisa Holtan, Faster Way coach and personal trainer with 17 years of experience, joins me this week to flip everything you thought you knew about midlife weight loss on its head. Spoiler alert: it’s not about eating less and doing more cardio.Lisa shares why most women over 40 are drastically under-eating—especially protein—and how that’s wrecking their metabolism and holding them back from feeling strong, energized, and confident. We get into why strength training is non-negotiable (especially if your goal is independence later in life), how balance and mobility exercises can be done in your bathroom, and why your golf game might just depend on what you’re doing in the gym.This episode is equal parts science, strategy, and sass—with plenty of real-life tips for eating out without guilt, staying consistent, and finally ditching the diet culture lies we’ve all been sold. Plus, Lisa shares the story of one client who lost 60 pounds with small, sustainable shifts over time—and how you can do the same.Whether you’re a beginner, getting back on track, or ready to level up—this conversation will make you rethink everything and inspire you to take action.💪 Hit play, and let’s build the strong, capable, joyful life you deserve.You can find Lisa Holtan at https://www.instagram.com/lisaholtan/The High Vibe Life Podcast can be found on any podcast platformLisa's favorite powered protein is made by ShakleeVisit https://betterHelp.com/askingforafriend to get started with therapy today and receive 10% off your first month._________________________________________If you’re doing “all the right things” and still feel stuck, adding a layer of support may be an option.
