5 Gut Health & Weight Loss Tips for Women Over 50
At some point on your journey with weight loss for women over 50, you just say ENOUGH! The definition of insanity is doing the same thing (eating, moving, drinking) and expecting different results. So, I did some things differently to help shift the scale. I got some help, learned what wasn’t working, and reset my gut health.
I’m happy to say that I’m a loser. I lost four pounds in 14 days. So, what did I do and what did I learn?
I’ll share first what I learned and then what I did.
Finding an effective strategy for weight loss for women over 50 isn’t about extreme diets – it’s about supporting your body and gut health.
1. I learned that I was snacking way too often and used it as an excuse that I was grazing. I was really eating out of boredom, stress or avoiding some hard things that I must do being a business owner. As much as I love what I do, there are still the hard things.
2. Snacking and having sweets after supper. Once I stopped eating after supper, (I used the no eating after 6:30 pm rule), I felt better and slept better. To help, I brushed my teeth right after supper to help avoid temptation.
3. I needed to move my body every day instead of 3-4 times per week. I didn’t do anything extreme or high intensity, just walking, Pure Barre, and light weights. It’s always fun to get a friend involved to keep me motivated.
4. 4. Making my mind up to just do it was key. I didn’t make excuses, and clear expectations were set right from the start. So, I told my husband there would be no dining out during the 14 days.The man lives to go out on Saturday evenings, but he was a great support.
5. I ate until I was satisfied instead of until I was full. When you reach fullness, you’ve most likely eaten too much.
How I Reset My Gut Health to Lose 4 Pounds in 14 Days
Well, honestly, I used a lot of products because I was utilizing all the tools I had for my gut health reset. I was pulling out all the stops!
First, I followed a strict 14-day elimination diet for gut health – removing dairy, gluten, eggs, starches, nightshades, processed foods, and sugar to reduce gut inflammation and bloating. While this strict protocol was only for two weeks, staying away from gluten, sugar, and dairy consistently has been a game-changer for my digestion over the years.
For meals, I focused on clean, gut-friendly options: grilled organic chicken with vegetables, morning protein shakes with greens, green powder, and small amounts of fruit, alongside fresh salads and fish tacos on gluten-free wraps.
I also supported my body with the OmniCleanse Detox Kit, a 14-day system using targeted capsules and homeopathic drops to support digestion alongside the Lean Body System.

It was so encouraging to see the scale move. My clothes had been fitting better but I needed to see this weight shift as well. I have an important date coming up in October so want to look and feel my best. It’s my son’s wedding day and I get a little emotional just thinking about it. I’m very excited for him and to gain a beautiful daughter-in-law.
I am so blessed to have access to some of the best products on the planet.
And remember, I research for safety and purity, so you don’t have to.
