Spoiler Alert: Eating More & Exercising Less Worked Better For Her Than Dieting Ever Did
04/14/25 • 50 min
Welcome to a special replay episode of the Over 50 Health & Wellness Show!
With registration officially open for our upcoming 21 Day Metabolic Makeover Challenge (kicking off April 21st!)... I thought this was the perfect time to bring back one of my all-time favorite conversations.
In this episode, you’ll meet Nicole Hansen — a Silver Edge client who knows exactly what it feels like to be stuck in the never-ending cycle of dieting, cardio, frustration... and zero results.
Nicole spent decades doing everything “right.”
→ Eating 1200 calories a day.
→ Doing hours of cardio.
→ Feeling exhausted, defeated, and convinced her metabolism was just... broken.
Then she joined our 21 Day Challenge.
What happened next might just flip everything you thought you knew about fat loss after 50.
Spoiler alert?
Nicole started eating more food.
Started doing less cardio.
Started lifting weights.
And started feeling stronger, more energized, and (yes!) losing fat in a sustainable way for the first time in years.
Her story is inspiring, relatable, and proof that it’s never too late to turn your body into a fat-burning, muscle-building machine.

Metabolic Makeover: Why Starving Yourself After 50 is the Worst Fat Loss Plan Ever
Think eating less and exercising more is the secret to fat loss after 50?
Think again.
In this episode, I’m joined by Silver Edge Coach and Program Manager Monica Jacobs — and we’re blowing up one of the biggest myths in the weight loss world:
That starving yourself is the fastest path to fat loss.
(Spoiler alert: It’s actually the fastest path to a broken metabolism, zero energy, stalled fat loss, and feeling like garbage.)
This episode is your crash course in what actually works for sustainable fat loss after 50 — and why your old diet tricks might be doing you way more harm than good.
We break down:
Why eating more (not less) is often the key to fat loss over 50
How to rebuild a sluggish, diet-damaged metabolism
The real reason your scale isn’t moving (it’s not what you think)
Why cardio might be killing your results
And the exact blueprint we use with our clients to help them build lean, strong, fat-burning bodies — for life
Bottom line? If you’re tired of feeling like your metabolism has left the building... this episode is for you.
