What if the answer to weight gain and low energy after 50 is not eating less, but eating smarter?

In this episode of The Giant Builders, Lois Wyant talks with Dr. Ginny Trierweiler, a psychologist and health coach who helps women in their 50s and 60s learn how to eat in a way that truly supports their changing bodies. They unpack why dieting and restriction often stop working after menopause, how processed foods create more stress in the body, and why abundant nutritious foods can lead to better energy, less inflammation, and a more peaceful relationship with food.

Dr. Ginny shares her own journey from pain, inflammation, and pre-diabetes to discovering a more sustainable and wise way to eat. She also explains how habits, identity, and even taste buds can change when women begin nourishing their bodies differently.

If you are tired of quick fixes, confused by conflicting nutrition advice, or frustrated that what used to work no longer does, this conversation will encourage you and give you a better path forward.
