In this episode of Pick Joy , Sabine Schoepke sits down with strength and metabolic coach Gus Garcia to unpack why the “eat less, work harder” approach stops working—especially in midlife. Sabine shares her own experience of doing everything “right” and still feeling worse, while Gus breaks down what’s really happening inside the body when hormones, stress, and metabolism begin to shift. Together, they explore how many women are unknowingly operating from outdated rules that no longer serve them—and what to do instead. In this episode, we cover: Why eating less can actually slow fat loss How stress and hormones impact weight, energy, and sleep The mindset shift from fighting your body to working with it This conversation is a powerful reminder that your body isn’t failing you—it’s communicating with you. And when you learn how to listen, everything begins to change. You don’t need more discipline. You need a different approach. This is where you start to pick joy.
