Nicole Johnson discusses with Lorie Eber why traditional diet and exercise advice may not work after 40 and how to adapt to midlife changes.

If you've been doing "all the right things" but your body isn't responding the way it used to — this episode is for you.

Your body hasn't failed you. It's changed. This episode helps you…
