@devinedwelling: And I got lean. I hit my body goals and I’ve maintained them for over two years without dieting. For most of my life, I chased a number on the scale. After my divorce, I finally got close to that number, my body shut down and I lost my period. I looked thin but I wasn’t healthy. That’s when the goal changed. I could not continue down the same path so I made a promise to myself that I would become the healthiest version of myself no matter what that looked like. Instead of chasing a number I began chasing a feeling and subsequently I became the leanest I’ve ever been…and the best part is that it’s sustainable 🙌 Here’s what actually works over 40 ⬇️ • Adequate protein to support muscle and metabolic health • Strength training to preserve lean mass • Enough healthy fats to support hormone production • Managing stress and sleep to regulate cortisol • Eating real, unprocessed food instead of chronically dieting When you build muscle and properly fuel your body, your metabolism becomes more resilient. Estrogen, progesterone, and thyroid function all depend on adequate nutrition and body fat. Chronically under-eating can disrupt ovulation and lower metabolic rate. Over 40, skinny isn’t the goal. Hormone health, strength, and vitality is. Thats how you glow 💫 If you’re ready to stop chasing the scale and start rebuilding your body the right way, my full framework is inside The Devine Glow Method. #over40 #GlowUp #lean
