For decades, women have been told that eating less and exercising more is the key to weight loss and health. This narrative is so deeply ingrained that even women over 40 often cling to it despite their bodies’ changing needs. Suzanne, a certified FASTer Way Nutrition & Fat Loss Coach, is on a mission to shift that perspective, teaching women to fuel their bodies and let go of the myth that “less is more.”

“It’s not about starving yourself or doing endless cardio,” Suzanne explains. “Women over 40 need to approach health differently, and that means giving their bodies the right fuel in the right amounts.”

Debunking the ‘Less is More’ Myth

The idea that eating less is always better is a trap many women fall into, especially as they reach midlife. Years of yo-yo dieting and restrictive eating leave the metabolism sluggish and the body craving nourishment. Suzanne is dedicated to helping women break this cycle by focusing on sustainable nutrition and balanced eating.

“The problem with undereating is that it sends your body into survival mode,” Suzanne says. “When you don’t give your body the nutrients it needs, it starts holding onto fat instead of burning it, which is why many women over 40 struggle with weight loss despite barely eating.”

Instead of slashing calories, Suzanne emphasizes whole-food nutrition, custom macros, and intermittent fasting tailored to each client’s needs. Her approach isn’t about deprivation; it’s about giving the body the fuel it needs to function optimally.

Reprogramming Your Mindset: More Food, More Energy

Suzanne’s coaching philosophy revolves around reprogramming the way her clients think about food. Many of them come to her fearing carbs, eating minuscule portions, and feeling guilty whenever they eat “too much.” Her goal is to show them that nourishing their bodies with enough of the right foods can lead to weight loss, increased energy, and improved overall health.

“We’ve been conditioned to think that less is better, but that’s just not true,” Suzanne explains. “You need to eat more of the right foods to build muscle, balance hormones, and feel your best.”

Creating a Sustainable Lifestyle

What sets Suzanne’s coaching apart is her focus on sustainability. Her six-week program isn’t just a quick fix; it’s designed to teach women how to create lasting habits beyond temporary diets. Through progressive overload workouts, detailed meal planning, and ongoing support, Suzanne ensures her clients have the tools to continue their progress long after her six-week program ends.

“I want my clients to feel confident in their choices and know they’re making decisions that support their long-term health,” Suzanne says. “It’s not just about seeing short-term results; it’s about understanding your body and treating it well.”

Embrace a New Approach to Midlife Wellness

As women reach their 40s and beyond, their bodies need a different approach to health. Suzanne is redefining what it means to be healthy at midlife, proving that women don’t have to settle for exhaustion, weight gain, or restrictive diets. Instead, they can fuel their bodies, increase their energy, and regain their confidence.

With her next six-week program starting on November 18, Suzanne invites women to break free from the “less is more” mentality and embrace a balanced, nourishing approach to health. Whether the goal is shedding stubborn weight, regaining energy, or simply learning to fuel the body better, Suzanne’s coaching provides a pathway to lasting change.
