If you seem to continuously put on weight while you never had issues staying trim in the past, there’s a scientific reason for it! As we age, weight management often becomes more challenging. That’s because our bodies don’t respond the same way they once did to weight-loss efforts.

If you’re struggling to lose weight, it’s likely you’re also experiencing: slowed metabolism, fluctuations or drops in hormone levels, increased stress and less physical activity, age-related muscle loss and longer muscle recovery, low energy and mental fatigue, and decreased lipid turnover.
