How to stay healthy in a world designed to make us fat and lazy

Julie in Holland interviews Lori Aber, a Southern California metabolic Health and midlife wellness educator and former corporate litigator, about staying healthy in a modern environment that encourages inactivity, oversized portions, Stress, and convenience foods—challenges that intensify in midlife and Menopause.
Lori explains how metabolism and weight changes are often driven more by Lifestyle factors like inactivity, loss of lean muscle (sarcopenia), stress, and poor Sleep than by menopause alone, and emphasizes the importance of safe, intelligent strength training to preserve muscle. She debunks myths such as “eat less to lose weight” and “you can outrun a bad Diet,” noting weight loss is largely nutrition-driven and advocating whole foods and a Mediterranean-style approach over restrictive diets.
They discuss weight-loss injectables, their risks to muscle mass, and the need for protein and strength training. Lori’s practical tips include cleaning up the home food environment, prioritizing stress reduction and sleep, and building consistent “boring” routines for meals and bedtime.
