Is your mind constantly thinking about food — what to eat, when to eat, or how to stop eating? You’re not alone. In this powerful episode, Max Lowery breaks down the hidden reason why so many smart, successful women over 40 feel trapped in nonstop “food noise” — and how to finally silence it without diets, guilt, or injections like Ozempic.
If you’ve ever felt like food controls your thoughts, drains your focus, and sabotages your weight loss goals, this conversation will be a game-changer. Max explains exactly why food noise happens, how it’s linked to your metabolism and emotions, and the simple daily habits that can help you break free.
You’ll learn:
What “food noise” really is — and why it keeps you stuck in the all-or-nothing cycle of restriction, overeating, and guilt.
How your body’s metabolism affects your cravings. Many women over 40 are unknowingly stuck in “sugar-burning mode,” relying on a constant drip of snacks and meals to feel normal. Max shares the key steps to restore metabolic flexibility so your body burns fat naturally — no starvation, no deprivation.
The psychological roots of food noise. Discover how years of dieting create a “scarcity mindset” that makes certain foods feel irresistible, and how to shift into an abundance mindset where no food is off limits.
Restraint vs. restriction: Why learning to choose what serves you (instead of following rigid rules) is the secret to lasting food freedom.
Emotional eating decoded. If stress, boredom, or loneliness send you straight to the pantry, Max shows how to identify your real needs, create an “instead list,” and meet emotions without food.
You’ll walk away with clear, actionable steps — from eating structured meals that stabilize blood sugar, to rewiring emotional habits that drive cravings. And you’ll finally understand why willpower alone never works, because this isn’t about self-control — it’s about healing your relationship with food from the inside out.
If you’re ready to stop thinking about food all day, trust yourself again, and lose weight in a way that actually lasts, this episode is your roadmap.
