“The most common problem for women in their 50s who want and need to lose weight is that they don’t know where or how to start,” explains Dr. Ellen, a hormone expert with over 20 years of experience helping women navigate midlife changes.
During perimenopause and menopause, it’s normal to experience symptoms like joint pain, bloating, fatigue, and stubborn belly fat. But these challenges make losing weight feel harder than ever.
When women do try something new but don’t see instant results, motivation disappears. Emotional eating sneaks back in, the frustration builds, and the scale keeps going up.
The truth is, weight loss after 50 isn’t the same as it was in your 30s or 40s.
Your body is going through hormonal changes that trigger elevated cortisol levels, slower metabolism, and fat redistribution—especially in the belly area.
The key isn’t starving yourself or over-exercising. It’s finding a simple, sustainable way to reduce cortisol levels and work with the changes, not against them.
Let’s be honest: fad diets and grueling routines only make things worse. What women in their 50s need is something realistic, supportive, and designed to deliver results that actually stick.
That’s why I, as a specialist in hormones and menopause-related weight loss of stubborn fat (belly area, underarms, back rolls), always suggest trying a Cortisol Reset Challenge as a starting method.
Hear me out, why…:
Mainly because it only takes days (not weeks or months) to start seeing and feeling the results. Weight just starts falling off as cortisol levels subside.
Just imagine yourself with—1 or 2 inches off your waist in just a week or -8 pounds in a surprisingly short time. It’s a boost of motivation to keep on going.
However, to see results fast and not harm your health, you must start correctly from day one.
Otherwise, it might just become another diet ‘experiment.’
For the best results, I always recommend a personalized plan. This means meal plans tailored to your unique tastes, health needs, and daily routine—all while targeting cortisol for maximum results.
With the right plan, weight loss and stress reduction don’t just feel possible—they become inevitable.
I’ll show you step-by-step how I create cortisol-focused plans for women in their 50s so you can do it too. It’s simple, sustainable, and delivers results you can see and feel.
But first…
Life in your 50s is busier than ever. Between juggling work, family, and your own needs, it can feel impossible to prioritize yourself.
Add in the hormonal changes of menopause, and your body seems to resist every effort to lose weight, feel energized, or manage stress.
The truth is, the foods we eat—like fast food, sugary snacks, and processed carbs—make things worse.
These foods don’t just cause weight gain; they spike your cortisol levels, leading to bloating, stubborn belly fat, constant cravings, and poor sleep.
Elevated cortisol also contributes to joint pain, headaches, irritability, and that “wired but tired” feeling.
As you age, cortisol becomes even harder to ignore. Hormonal shifts during menopause amplify these effects, making weight loss and stress management feel impossible.
This is where the Cortisol Reset Challenge steps in. It’s designed to target the root cause of these struggles by helping your body naturally manage cortisol levels.
The results happen faster than you’d expect. Women often report losing inches, feeling calmer, and sleeping better within days.
In addition to significant weight loss, the Cortisol Reset Challenge delivers many other benefits in just 28 days:
Imagine losing up to 40 lbs during this challenge (I’ve seen many women in their 50s achieve this!). Once the challenge ends, you can choose to keep going or gradually reintroduce other foods.
The best part? By the end of the challenge, your body naturally craves less of the stress-inducing, cortisol-spiking foods.
Even if you bring some back, you’ll find yourself eating smaller portions and maintaining your progress without feeling deprived.
That’s the power of the Cortisol Reset Challenge.
You start strong, see incredible results, and finish feeling lighter, calmer, and more in control of your body—without the struggle.
As I always tell my clients:
“It only takes ONE challenge to start seeing the slimmer, more energized version of yourself. In just 28 days, you’ll be amazed by how much can change!”
The first one is to hire a nutritionist and work together to design a personalized Cortisol Reset Challenge. This is something I used to do for my clients.
I’d start by giving them a detailed questionnaire to assess their stress levels, lifestyle, and weight loss goals.
Then, I’d carefully calculate their nutritional needs and create a tailored meal plan and daily routine to help lower cortisol and shed stubborn fat.
While it may sound simple, this process is incredibly intricate and time-consuming. Because of the level of detail involved, I charged hundreds of dollars for my services.
But as my client base grew, I needed a solution that could deliver the same results in a simpler, more accessible way.
After years of research, I found the perfect Cortisol Reset Challenge plan that does all the hard work for you.
This brings us to the second, more practical option: the Cortisol Reset Personalized Plan.
Here’s how it works:
No questions are left unanswered, and every step is carefully laid out for you.
This plan naturally helps you reduce cortisol levels and distance yourself from stress-inducing habits without feeling restricted or overwhelmed. Unlike overly strict diets, it’s a gradual process that your body adjusts to easily, making it sustainable—and the results come fast.

Thank you for your comment
Just wanna say I I saw this challenge 3-4 months ago and went from feeling like shit 24/7 to literally a different person. But naturally you know. I’ve been trying to lose weight and it’s helped a lot. Over the past year and a half I’ve dropped down from 250 pounds to just now hitting 179 (6’2 F)! I feel really good about myself and I’m not done yet, but I just wanna say thank you for sharing, this has helped a lot with my weight loss journey!
It’s day 3 for me and the improvement in my energy level is INSANE… literally INSANE. I can’t believe it! I never want to let my hormones control my life again if that’s how drained and miserable it makes me feel!!
I was told last year I was on the brink of stress related issues and burnout, so I decided to try this cortisol detox and started cutting out the habits and foods that were keeping my stress levels high.Now I’m so much more aware of my cortisol levels I’ve started eating foods that support balance, prioritizing calming activities, and focusing on what rlly makes me feel my best. I’ve lost a lot of weight, my energy has skyrocketed, and I feel so much calmer and in control. I wish I could convince my husband and teenage sons to take a closer look at their health too. They would really feel the benefits of reducing cortisol!
