My weight is going up but nothing has changed.

If your weight is creeping up and you’re convinced nothing has changed—you’re probably right. But that doesn’t mean nothing has changed. In this Pocket Prescription episode, I break down why weight gain in midlife often feels confusing and unfair. We cover: Why weight gain tends to happen in seasonal spikes, not a straight line How muscle loss (and body composition changes) quietly shifts the rules The reality of busier lives, less movement, and more sitting Why sleep and recovery matter more than you think This isn’t about blame or “trying harder.” It’s about understanding what’s actually going on so you can decide what’s worth changing. No hacks. No shortcuts. Just the basics—done properly.

If your weight is creeping up and you’re convinced nothing has changed—you’re probably right. But that doesn’t mean nothing has changed.

In this Pocket Prescription episode, I break down why weight gain in midlife often feels confusing and unfair. We cover:

  • Why weight gain tends to happen in seasonal spikes, not a straight line
  • How muscle loss (and body composition changes) quietly shifts the rules
  • The reality of busier lives, less movement, and more sitting
  • Why sleep and recovery matter more than you think

This isn’t about blame or “trying harder.” It’s about understanding what’s actually going on so you can decide what’s worth changing.

No hacks. No shortcuts. Just the basics—done properly.
