Exercising regularly, eating healthy, and still gaining weight? You’re not alone and it doesn’t always mean you’re doing things wrong. This video breaks down the most common reasons weight loss becomes harder for men after 30, even when workouts and nutrition are on point.As men age, natural hormonal changes like declining testosterone, reduced insulin sensitivity, and chronically elevated cortisol from stress can all contribute to stubborn fat gain, especially around the midsection. On top of that, training too hard, doing excessive cardio, poor recovery, lack of sleep, and increased appetite can actually slow fat loss and push the scale higher.You’ll also learn why temporary weight gain from water retention and muscle growth is normal, how gut health and low fiber intake can impact body fat, and why working harder isn’t always the solution. Instead, smarter training, proper recovery, strength training, stress management, and sustainable nutrition strategies are key for long-term fat loss.Coach Julio is an expert in fitness and nutrition, having helped hundreds of busy office professionals and parents in their 30s, 40s, and 50s be their healthiest with personalized training plans and nutritionist counseling services.

In this video, I break down the benefits of strength training for women over 40 and why lifting weights is one of the most important things you can do for your long-term health.After 40, muscle mass, strength, balance, and bone density naturally decline, increasing the risk of falls, injuries, joint pain, and chronic disease.

Weight lifting helps slow muscle loss (sarcopenia), improves joint mobility, strengthens bones, and enhances balance, thus making everyday movements safer and easier.

Strength training is also linked to reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression while potentially slowing cognitive decline.
