Summary
On today's episode, I'm sitting down solo to address one of the most frustrating struggles women face when trying to lose weight: working out consistently but not seeing fat loss.
I'm breaking down the idea of "out-exercising a bad diet," and exactly how I coach clients through this mistake. You'll learn why adding more workouts isn't the answer, why nutrition is the foundation for body fat loss, and how to reset your approach if your current routine isn't delivering results.
We'll also talk about how exercise can quietly become a crutch that keeps you stuck, the signs you may be over-exercising, and how shifting your priorities can completely change your progress. By the end of this episode, you'll know how to make your workouts more intentional — so they finally work with your body and goals, instead of against them.

| 0:00.0 | Hello, my beautiful people, and welcome back to another episode of Hot Healthy, |
| 0:11.2 | Never Hungry. |
| 0:12.0 | I'm very excited for today's episode because this is a common mistake slash issue slash topic |
| 0:17.8 | that honestly has some pretty easy fixes, but is often overlooked by so many women. |
| 0:24.6 | And we're going to dive into all the juicy goodness with it. We actually have two questions |
| 0:28.4 | that were submitted by the lovely Mel, who I love you, girlfriend. Shout out to you. Before that, |
| 0:34.7 | we are going to do just a quick little shout out to KT. May 65 as well. She said |
| 0:39.3 | advice I can use with Lauren being a registered dietitian. I know this information is scientifically |
| 0:44.1 | based, but she just makes it so easy to succeed. I am 60 years old and it's a little challenging |
| 0:50.4 | to navigate this aging body, but I always learn and can follow through with her advice. Thank you, Lauren. Oh my gosh. Can I tell you when women, I mean, obviously any age, |
| 0:59.3 | I work with so many different women, but women in their 50s and 60s, it's so funny and I had clients, |
| 1:05.8 | and I don't know if this is going to rub you guys the wrong way, but in my late 20s, I started working with a ton of women |
| 1:13.3 | in their 50s and 60s, even in their 70s. I remember actually when I was like young 20s, I had a |

| 1:25.6 | know why I started gravitating towards that population so young. I mean, |
| 1:29.6 | obviously it's women just coming to me at their struggles. But it's a group of women that, |
| 1:34.7 | while I have never been that age and, God willing, I will be able to be that age one day, |
| 1:40.6 | because what a blessing it is to age, especially now as a mom, I really feel that way. I don't |
| 1:45.3 | know what about it, but I've always really resonated with the struggles that you guys have as |
| 1:51.4 | your body's age and change despite never having gone through it. So it means, you know, |
| 1:56.2 | obviously if a woman in their 30s like me loses weight, of course, like, I get it because I'm your age. |
