Episode 79: Midlife Metabolism: The Truth About Weight Loss & Hormones After 40

If you’ve ever wondered why losing weight after 40 feels harder than ever, even when you’re doing “all the right things” - you are not alone.

In this powerful episode of Nourish with Michelle Fox, I share my personal journey of healing with hormone expert Kimberly Cunningham. We get real about the role hormones play in weight, metabolism, muscle, energy, and cravings…and why willpower is not the problem.

It is an honor to open up about my own experience: how I began with lab work and testosterone therapy, and why Kimberly had me wait three months before beginning Tirzepatide. Kimberly’s thoughtful and thorough approach made all the difference. No shortcuts - just informed, empowered, medically supervised support.

What we cover in Episode 79:

• Why traditional weight loss advice fails a lot of women

• The hormone–metabolism connection (especially testosterone!)

• Michelle’s personal journey: labs, then testosterone, then Tirzepatide

• How muscle mass and cardio impact longevity

• Why community and connection matter for long-term health
