The Hormone Blame Game

The Hormone Blame Game

Author: Danya R Powers August 26, 2025 Duration: 16:14

Have you ever looked in the mirror and thought, “It has to be my hormones… because nothing else makes sense”?

You’re not wrong — but you’re not completely right either.

In this episode of Diva Deets, we’re busting open the biggest excuse and the biggest truth about fat loss after 40: hormones. You’ll learn where hormones truly affect your metabolism, and where your habits might be doing more damage than you think.

Here’s what we cover: ✨ Why estrogen, progesterone, cortisol, and testosterone changes really matter ✨ The sneaky habits that sabotage fat loss more than hormones ever will ✨ How to tell if it’s hormones or habits holding you back ✨ My hormone-honoring fat-loss framework: protein, strength training, stress management, and sleep ✨ The mindset shift you must make if you want results after 40

You are not broken. You’re not too old. And you’re not doomed because of menopause. But you do need a strategy that works with your body now — not against it.
