Today I have a treat for you. This is a clip from a live coaching session with one of my clients. In it, we talk about using body fat composition and muscle mass, instead of body weight. In this coaching call, you will get to hear: - A reframe that helped her to stop avoiding the scale and instead using it daily to motivate her to stay on track with healthy habits to lose belly fat - How staying on track was for her a key to becoming the consistent person she really wanted to be: committed to her habits- What it takes to lock in a healthy habit and make it a lifestyle, instead of reverting back to old habits   In 12 weeks of coaching together, this person's waist circumference went down by 1.5 inches, her body fat levels decrease by 7.1% and her visceral fat - stubborn belly fat - went down by 2 points. Now here is a major hack for you, if you have been doing weight loss and feeling scared of the scale: Stop looking at body weight. Instead, get a body composition scale and start looking at body fat and muscle mass.In this episode you will hear how this is key to losing belly fat and finally see some lasting results with weight loss.   PS: I AM GIVING A BODY COMPOSITION SCALE AWAY To enter to win, you can email me right now at info@drjihanefarrell.com to let me know And you have to tune in on Monday July 20th 2026 for the official relaunch of this podcast. I will share with you how to enter for a chance to win the body composition scale.

Navigating fitness after 40 can feel like a puzzle where the old pieces no longer fit. 40s Fitness Reset is for anyone who’s tired of generic advice that ignores the biological shifts of midlife, particularly the stubborn accumulation of visceral fat. Host Jihane Farrell brings a unique perspective to this podcast, merging her background as a former aging research scientist and PhD-level longevity coach with her practical role as an ADAPT-Certified Functional Health Coach. The conversations here move beyond simplistic calorie counting to explore a longevity-focused, science-backed approach. You’ll hear discussions on why traditional weight loss methods often fail at this stage and what truly works for sustainable change. Episodes break down actionable strategies for time-effective, high-return habits that target metabolic health and body composition, not just the number on the scale. It’s about building a resilient physiology for the decades ahead. Jihane translates complex research into clear steps, offering a realistic reset for those ready to move past frustration. This isn’t about another drastic diet; it’s a thoughtful recalibration of how we think about energy, movement, and aging. Tune in for a blend of evidence and empathy, designed to help you reclaim agency over your health and feel strong in your own skin again.
