For years, I did everything I was told would help me stay lean. I trained hard, ate well, and stayed consistent but after 50, my body stopped responding the way it used to.
In this video, I’m sharing the 7 changes that helped me get my flat stomach back at 50 and completely changed how I think about training, nutrition, recovery, and metabolism in midlife.
I didn’t find a magic supplement or a quick fix. Instead, I made evidence-based changes that helped me build lean muscle, improve my metabolic health, recover better, and finally achieve the body composition I was working so hard for.
If you’re a woman over 40 or 50 who’s training consistently but not seeing the results you want, I hope these seven changes give you a new perspective and practical strategies you can start applying today.

What questions do you have on fat loss and/or muscle gain in midlife? Add them here to let me know and I'll do my best to create some more videos to help you ❤
GLP1 !
1. Lift heavy, not heaviest you can– 10-15 range with one rep in reserve
2. Sprints – after upper body workout
3. Core training (weighted single leg V up,, spider push up, weighted crunches, ball pick up)
4. Recovery & cortisol , Take proper recovery days, Improve sleep, Improve HRV
5. Carb – don’t fear carb (40g prot, and 40-50g carb after workout)
6. Built lean mass – don’t focus on losing fat – 10-15K steps
7. Spend time outside – early am and thru the day
This is great content, but you seemed rushed! Pls slow down, show the moves, and take a breath! Thanks for the great video!
whats hrv?
I liked the video. I started the quiz. But I don’t like the options for the answers. How long have I been feeling these symptoms? I’m not sick. I’m proud of myself. How about that for an option? I wanted to see how I rated. I guess I’m good because the answers don’t fit.
I I'm afraid I can't listen to this. The background music is driving me crazy.
One gram of protein per body weight? OMG, that's 110 grams of protein. What if someone doesn't work out nearly as hard as you do? Is it less?
There are no clips showing what you say… Example clips as you are explaining would be helpful.
Any alternative to short sprints? Could any kind of intense cardio work?
Great points! Love your content, always learning a lot from you. For me personally: the background music in this video makes me very nervous. I would love to know why you noticed 10-12 rep range was better than 3-5. I also love the last tip, I did not know this.
The background music is too loud and distracting! Im sure the info was good but i clicked off after 3 minutes.
Thank you! Very good recommendations 👍🏻 And big YES! to core strength training 😊 I couldn’t do without. On the sunlight ☀️ Yes, definitely but make sure you wear SPF50 sunscreen on super sunny days, particularly on your face 😊
YOU ARE NOT 50! I thought maybe late 30s tops. You look great!
So badly wanted to see your flat stomach.
I tried everything for my menopause belly and nothing budged 😩 crunches, diets, you name it. Felt so defeated. A friend mentioned the Menopause Transition Playbook by (Lisa.Grant). I made the changes and 28 lbs dropped, my stomach finally flattened. No more bloating either. More women need this seriously.
My belly made me look pregnant at 52 no matter what I did 😔 I was so embarrassed of my body. Saw women in a group talking about the Menopause Transition Playbook written by (Lisa.Grant). I followed it and 27 lbs gone, waist defined now. My confidence is back. Why isn't this everywhere honestly?
what do you eat that gives you that much protein and that many carbs in one meal?
The background music is very irritating. I almost clicked off.❤
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Where/ what’s the link?
Thank you for usefull information…👍🏼❤
When you talk about doing certain exercises, we should be able to see them on the screen. So that we can make a mental note to do them. Ourselves
i turn 51 at the end of the year. My belly is flat and my waist small like in my 20 and i can see my abs. I lift 4 times a week and I do carnivor-keto since almost 8 years. Lots of love from Switzerland ❤
Thank you, great video! ❤I am a corporate lawyer trying to get my flat belly back 😅 Glad and thankful I found you ❤
❤ this
Bingo!!
The delivery was so monotone, it made it hard to follow. I know many creators do read from teleprompter yours was really strained. this is my feedback, I am not pulling you down. The information is really good, I needed it I had to strip the subtitles and read it.
i tried 8-12reps.. i tried 12-15reps… now im doing 4-6reps (hailey happens – via dr stacey sims).. dont knw yet outcome.. halfway program. still fat 😅
Very informative, thank you. Can you please show us the workouts you do please especially core related ones plus your food habits as well please.
Thank you
1. Heavy lifting
2. Sprints
3. Core training
4.
Can you please show your work outs. I truly don't know how you did your lifts? And what type?
Am very impressed with the appearance, figure, speech delivery and content in that order, and the background as a corporate lawyer. Am in the process of getting my 6-pack back at 55.
Loved this video. Great takeaways. I noticed that you didn’t mention the third macro: fat. Is there a goal you strive for at each meal?
Also, do you have examples of the type of Sprint Interval Training you have adopted?
