Recently, one of my clients asked why she’s been gaining weight over the years, wondering if it was due to menopause or her metabolism slowing down. I explained that metabolism stays relatively stable from 20-60, and the real culprit is often lifestyle changes. I painted a few scenarios, and she had a lightbulb moment—realizing that her activity levels had significantly dropped after her office moved. This shift in routine made a big impact on her daily movement without her even noticing!
