Fat Loss School for Women Over 50 | Strategies to Lose Weight and Belly Fat After Menopause with Intermittent Fasting, Carb Cycling, Macros, Exercise, & Mindset
Welcome to the Fat Loss School podcast! If you’ve been struggling with extra pounds, menopausal belly fat, feeling overwhelmed by too many diet options, are on the borderline with health issues, and are frustrated by past weight loss failures - especially if you’ve hit the fabulous fifty mark - then grab a seat because this podcast is your ultimate fat loss classroom.
I am Amy Bryan, 30 year educator and certified FASTer Way to Fat Loss® online nutrition and fitness coach. I’ll be your teacher and guide to show you that losing fat and gaining energy - plus maintaining it long term - is truly possible even at our age. I know because I’ve been there. In my 30s & 40s, I did all the diets, tried all the gimmicks, over-exercised, lost and gained the same pounds over & over. At 50, I had accomplished so much except in this one very important area and was through wasting time and energy on temporary fixes! This podcast will teach lifestyle changes that shed the fat in a healthy way that you can sustain long term and change your health trajectory so you age with energy, independence, and confidence. Think of these few minutes together as a study hall with cheat sheets for fat loss and include topics like intermittent fasting, carb cycling, mindset reframing, and more. Grab your notebook, because class is officially in session, and it’s time to rewrite your wellness story!

What if I told you there’s a way to serve up delicious, healthy meals without spending half your weekend in the kitchen or up to your elbows in dirty dishes? It’s foil pack cooking…often called Hobo Meals. Everything’s sealed up in foil, no mess, all the flavor, and minimal cleanup. Today, I’m sharing my favorite healthy, easy foil pack ideas that work for the grill, the oven, or even over a campfire. And yes—these are FASTer Way–friendly.

Today my guest and I are talking about pain. Chronic pain. Joint pain. Muscle pain. The kind of pain that keeps us from moving our bodies and makes fat loss feel even harder than it already is post-menopause.
And who better to help us navigate all of this than Stacey Roberts—a physical therapist and holistic registered nurse who’s dedicated her life’s work to helping people relieve pain naturally—without surgery, injections, or medications.
Stacey brings the perfect mix of science and soul to this conversation, and she’s here to help us understand how pain and inflammation affect everything from mobility to metabolism, and how smart changes in movement, mindset, and nutrition can help us finally feel good in our bodies again—at any age.
So if you're ready to stop feeling stuck, stiff, or sidelined—and start taking real steps toward a pain-free, strong, and active life—you’re going to love this conversation.
