In this episode of The Macro Hour, Nikkiey Stott is joined by WarriorBabe Brand Leaders Maggie Topham and Andrea Simulis for a powerful Q&A on why women’s weight loss often stalls in their 40s, 50s & 60s. They break down what’s actually happening when you’re eating clean, working out, and still not seeing results—and the answers may surprise you. Together, they dive into the biggest questions women are asking right now: Is your metabolism really slowing down? Why does eating less backfire? How do you set macros that support hormones, energy, and fat loss? And why is strength training the missing piece for midlife women who want to look toned and feel xastrong again? Does incline walking actually burn more fat? And so much more! If you’re frustrated, confused, or feeling stuck in your 40s, this episode gives you the clarity, strategy, and encouragement you’ve been missing.

Intuitive eating isn’t “just eating healthy” or winging it. It’s about building a deep, informed relationship with your body—and that takes work.

This episode unpacks why you can’t skip the foundation—and exactly how to build toward trust, not chaos.
