About the Weight Loss After 40 Series
Grounded in more than 25 years of clinical experience, Dr. Lena Edwards presents the Weight Loss After 40 series. This series flips the outdated—but still routinely touted—weight-loss script for women over 40, replacing guilt, guesswork, and generic advice with science, clarity, and long-overdue validation. Each volume builds on the last, guiding readers from understanding to revelation to transformation.
Instead of parroting the old “eat less, move more” mantra, this series exposes what’s really sabotaging metabolism after 40 and gives women the weight-loss roadmap they should have received years ago. No quick fixes, no one-size-fits-all advice—just the science behind the stall and the solutions their bodies have been searching for to escape Weight-Loss Wasteland.
Together, this series dismantles the outdated blame-and-shame myths women have been fed for decades and replaces them with clarity, strategy, and science—empowering them to reclaim their game, restore their health, and escape Weight-Loss Wasteland for good.

It sets the essential foundation for understanding why the over-40 body balks at burpees and broccoli—and why real, sustainable change starts with understanding your physiology, not blaming it.
