The Midlife Metabolism

Fern Ashwood

The scale stopped responding the way it used to, and the old fixes, smaller portions, longer walks, sheer willpower, no longer move it. This is a clear look at what actually shifts in midlife: how muscle, hormones, and sleep quietly change the equation, why cutting calories further backfires, and what current research points to instead, from strength training to protein timing. Grounded, encouraging, and refreshingly free of guilt.
