Feel Better. Live Free. | Healthy Weight Loss & Wellness for Midlife Women

Ruth Soukup

Feel Better. Live Free. with Ruth Soukup is the revolutionary health & wellness podcast brought to you by Thinlicious®. It's a show dedicated to helping midlife women find lasting health & sustainable weight loss by healing our bodies from the inside out, while questioning the outdated mainstream narratives surrounding health and weight loss that haven't worked.

Our mission is to help you the freedom to look and feel your best. The freedom to NOT be controlled by food addictions ever again. And the freedom to confidently pursue all your big goals and dreams because your health and weight issues are no longer holding you back.

Each week we’ll discuss what it means to live your best life as a woman in your 40’s, 50’s, and beyond, talking openly and honestly about the highs and lows of weight loss, wellness, cultivating a healthy mindset, and pretty much everything in between.
We'll also speak with leading health experts on everything from thyroid and cortisol health to hormonal balance and menopause to healing your gut.

It’s a place where you'll discover actionable strategies for losing weight and getting healthy, unconventional health breakthroughs that no one else is talking about, and the powerful mindset shifts you’ll need to find lifelong wellness and true happiness (with a whole lot of tough love along the way.)

Basically, this is the podcast to listen to if you're looking for answers to these type of questions:

-Why is it so hard for women over 40 to lose weight?

-How can I improve my mindset and get healthy for life?

-What supplements should I be taking?

-How can I improve my immune system?

-How do I overcome resistance and finally get motivated?

-Why am I so tired all the time?

-What's the healthiest way to lose weight?

-Should I go on Ozempic?

-What does it mean to be metabolically flexible?

-How does stress affect weight loss?

-What is gut health, and why does it matter?

-Could I have a thyroid issue?

-What can you eat to reduce inflammation?

-What are the biggest health mistakes to avoid?

-How can you lose weight without dieting?

It’s only natural to worry, right?
*see end of show notes for links to all source links for supporting data for this episode.

And I suppose I can only speak for myself here, but there’s rarely a day that goes by that I’m not worried about SOMETHING, whether it’s my kids or something in my business or the dog not eating her dinner.

And a big thing I see my clients worrying about, especially when they’re new to my program, is the fact that for the first time in their lives, they’re being encouraged to eat MORE. And not only that, I’m telling them to eat foods that for most of their life, they’ve been told to stay away from—eggs, meat, cheese, butter.

So they start worrying that this new way of eating can’t possibly be HEALTHY.

They start worrying about things like calories, and fat, and cholesterol—convinced they’ll never lose weight & get healthy if they don’t.

And I understand why it happens. Because we’ve all been indoctrinated by decades of bad advice, and unfortunately it’s left us all a little bit scarred and scared of the wrong things.

And that’s why today, I wanted to take a deep dive into real research—to really dig into exactly why those fears are off-base, what’s actually holding you back when it comes to health, and how to break free with facts, not myths.

So buckle up, because this is a deep one. But I promise it won’t be boring.

You are what you eat.

It's one of those phrases we've all heard said a million times, and yet how often do we really think about what that actually means, especially when reaching for a bag of potato chips or that Ben & Jerry's hidden deep in your freezer?

On a practical, day-to-day level, it can be hard to process the stark reality that the food we're consuming is directly related to our health and how we feel.

Because in the moment, our stomachs typically override our brain.

And that's exactly what the food industry is banking on.

Because it's not actually our stomach that's doing the thinking.

It's the part of our brain that craves the dopamine hit those chips or ice cream provide.

But what if I told you that there are even more shocking secrets that the food industry is keeping from us? Secrets that not only make us spend more money, but that have directly created a worldwide epidemic of obesity, insulin resistance, and disease.

Frankly it's a topic they DON'T want us to be talking about, but on this podcast we're not afraid to tackle hard truths.

And that's why in today's episode, we're taking a deep dive into the dirtiest secrets the food industry doesn't want you to know, so you can avoid falling into their trap.
Are you ready to lose weight and heal your body for life (without dieting, drugs, or making yourself miserable)?

There's nothing more frustrating than feeling like you're doing all the right things to lose weight and get healthy, only to see the scale just not budge.

Believe me, I get it.

After all, it's one thing to KNOW you're not really eating as well as you could be, or that you blew it over the weekend, or that you're just not trying all that hard.

But it's a whole different level of frustration when you actually ARE putting in the effort, and yet the scale doesn't reflect it.

And while on some level we probably know that getting healthy for life isn't JUST about the number on the scale, it's still tends to be the thing we focus on—the number that we use to measure whether we're actually making progress toward our goal.
So why is it that some of us seem to have SO much success so quickly, while others have to fight for every single pound?

And is there anything you can do to make it easier?
That's exactly what we're going to talk about in today's episode—the big reasons you may be struggling to lose weight, even when you're doing everything right, and a few things you can try.
Are you ready to lose weight and heal your body for life (without dieting, drugs, or making yourself miserable)?

Okay, let's get real for a minute.

When was the last time you caught your reflection and thought, "Damn, I look good!"?

If it's been a while, we need to talk. Because feeling hot—yes, HOT—isn't about hitting some magic number on the scale or looking like those filtered Instagram models who don't even look like themselves.

It's about how you show up in the world. It's about the energy you bring into a room. It's about the way you carry yourself when nobody's watching.

And today? I'm breaking down exactly how to step into your most confident, radiant, head-turning self—at ANY age.

Let's go!

----------

The women who succeed long-term, who actually lose the weight and keep it off, aren't just following a meal plan. They're thinking differently. They've mastered the mindset piece that so many of us struggle with.

And that's exactly what Unstoppable Weight Loss is designed to do. It's like having me as your personal mindset coach, walking you through every mental roadblock, every excuse, every self-sabotaging thought pattern that's kept you stuck.

I've been pouring my heart into this for months, and I can't wait to share it with you. We're going to be opening it up soon, but if you want to be first in line and get some special bonuses when we launch, make sure you get on the waitlist. Just go HERE to join the waitlist and be the first to know when doors open.
