About this listen

In this episode of the Muscles and Mindset Revolution Podcast, Coach Anne Jones breaks down a frustrating but common reality: you’re eating clean, maybe even working out… and still gaining weight in your 30s or 40s.

Anne reveals what’s actually slowing your metabolism (spoiler: it’s not age), and the three most common mistakes healthy women make that unintentionally lead to fat gain, muscle loss, and burnout.


You’ll learn:

  • Why muscle loss—not age—is the hidden driver behind weight gain
  • How undereating and overdoing cardio backfire after 30
  • What to do instead to stop the gain—and finally feel like yourself again
  • How real clients reversed midlife weight gain without tracking, restricting, or burning out


If you’ve gained 10–15 lb despite doing everything “right,” this episode is your wake-up call and your next step.


💥 Anne’s private 1:1 coaching project is now accepting applications specifically from six women who have gained 5-10 lb in the past few years despite 'eating clean.' DM the word ENOUGH on Instagram @annejonesfit or click here to apply.
