88. Can’t Lose Weight After 40? Focus on These 5 Things with Adriana Mastronardi

If you’re struggling to lose weight after 40 or 50, this episode breaks down the exact priorities midlife women need to focus on when nothing seems to work. Hormones, muscle loss, and stress change the rules—and this episode explains how to adapt.

In this episode of Functional Moms Podcast, we talk with nutrition and fitness coach Adriana Mastronardi about sustainable weight loss strategies for women in their 40s and 50s. Perimenopause and menopause can make weight gain easier and fat loss harder, but focusing on the right habits—not restriction—can make a real difference.

Adriana shares her “big rocks” approach, helping busy midlife women break free from fad diets and build strength, confidence, and consistency through smart nutrition and strength training. We learn:

Why weight loss after 40 feels harder than before
What to prioritize when dieting and exercise aren’t working
How protein supports metabolism and muscle in midlife
Why strength training is essential for fat loss after 40
How small, consistent habits create long-term results
How to manage emotional cravings for sweets or alcohol
Supplements that may support midlife health (collagen, creatine, vitamin D, magnesium)
