Let’s face it – most women struggle with their weight and we’ve been programmed to think it’s harder to get the weight off after a certain age so the process can feel hopeless. But what if there are clues as to why the weight is hanging around that lie in your relationship with food?

In this episode, Ashley Fillmore and Dr. Jannine Krause dive into why declining estrogen can trigger carb cravings and binges that may be new behavior for women over 40, or why it brings up old habits you thought you’d let go of. We discuss the frustrating cycle of binge, detox, diet and repeat – failure after failure. We explore food shame and why we keep repeating habits like diving into chips or finding ourselves with chocolate and peanut butter at certain times of the day.
