95. The Truth About Dieting, Fasting & Weight Loss for Women with Diana Fransis

Confused by dieting advice and endless food rules? You're not alone.

Many women over 40 feel overwhelmed trying to lose weight while navigating hormonal changes, menopause, and conflicting health advice.

In this episode of Functional Moms Podcast, registered dietitian Diana Fransis, explains what actually works for sustainable weight loss and why restrictive diets often fail women in midlife.

Diana is a lifestyle coach, dietitian, and founder of Wellness From Within, a virtual nutrition practice helping women improve hormonal health, gut health, and weight management with realistic and evidence-based nutrition.

If you're tired of dieting and want a healthier relationship with food, this conversation will help you understand how to build sustainable habits that support your body.

✅ Why dieting can feel overwhelming for women over 40

✅ How menopause and hormonal changes affect weight loss

✅ Why nutrition is never one-size-fits-all

✅ The truth about intermittent fasting for women

✅ Why restriction often leads to more struggles with food

✅ The importance of fiber and balanced nutrition

✅ When GLP-1 medications may be helpful

✅ Why building strength and health matters more than chasing a number on the scale
