If you’re a woman over 40 and beginning a Keto lifestyle, you’re on the right track!
At this point, it is likely that you not only have 40 years of questionable dieting practices under your belt – but years of losing and gaining weight, artificial sweeteners, fat-free foods, and confusing messages from health care professionals to account for where you are mentally and physically right now.
Sure, the intentions have always been good. But the methods and the reasons for your choices until now have caused issues for your metabolism and hormones!
Being Over 40 is Just the Beginning!
The good news is you are a woman who has made it to 40, and you are in a position now to take a deep dive into the world of Keto.
Maybe you are experiencing those looming hormonal changes or unexplained weight gain in your midsection.
You may notice unexplained changes in your muscles or how your clothes fit.
You could have recently developed an autoimmune disease.
Maybe you are tired or are not sleeping well.
Premenopause/menopause cause hormonal changes that often require special attention and dietary/nutritional changes because we may not even recognize ourselves most days without them!
Whatever it is, Keto can help you start to feel good again. I firmly believe that a Keto diet is created for women in their 40s and that even though you have a lot on your plate, you can and will feel and look good again!
These Changes Don’t Have to be Your Normal
These body changes are often brushed off as a normal aging process. I wouldn’t consider the ’40s to be an aged population – but I think you know what I am talking about.
However, working long hours and trying to achieve a perfect version of parenthood, career, relationship, appearance, and financial stability will cause cortisol to rise.
Cortisol, a stress hormone, will interfere with how your body produces insulin which can cause weight gain. The hormonal changes concerning menopause can also magnify the effects of life stressors.
This is where a Keto lifestyle will change your life. Controlling your carb intake by introducing ketosis will cause you to lose weight.
The high-fat, low-carb combination will help to balance your hormones.
Ultimately you will sleep better, feel better, and have increased energy. Your moods will improve, your body will have less stress from excess weight, and fewer cravings, your muscle tone will improve, and you’ll drop a bunch of clothing sizes.
Collagen and carefully chosen nutritional supplements can help us to balance the changes in our bodies, allowing us to feel more youthful.
What does this mean?
- Less cortisol production!
- Better sleep!
- Changes in clothing sizes!
- Fewer cravings for soda and sweets!
- Improved mood!
- Fewer night sweats!
- More ENERGY!
There’s a good possibility that you will feel better than you have in many years!
Who else is looking forward to being free from feeling sick, tired, fluctuating weight, and the frustration of feeling defeated by another diet? Who else is tired of knowing that what they put in their bodies has little to do with being healthy and more to do with being thin? And who wants to feel like themselves again?
I don’t know about you, but being over 40 and being in the best health of my life is the goal. Healthier skin, better sleep, and a reduction in menopause symptoms are what I am striving for!

Good morning Amy and a pleasant day. I learned a lot from you about Keto diet life style. I have lost about 35 lbs and maintain it so far. It’s good to lose weight and feel healthy. Will like to loose another 10 lbs. due to medical reasons excise is limited.
We can always hope for the best.
Does drinking Ketones help or hurt the keto diet? I just ordered the new product to help the menopause problem.
I don’t personally use ketones. I focus most on helping my body produce their own
I’m 69 and been back on keto lifestyle since Jan. 1st down 20 pounds and feeling better but I would like to have a loss of 50 more + but the most important thing is better health and to enjoy life
Love your blog and all that you do. I have followed you since I think it was 2017.
Wow! I love that so much XO
Thank you for the blog. Can’t wait for my OVA comes.
Thank you Amy. I did keto a few years ago to lose weight, but wasn’t aware it could help Menopause symptoms. I’ve been in Menopause for 10 years and I exercise regularly and do eat healthy but can’t get rid of my belly. I look forward to starting again. 😊
Good information ‼️👍🏻
Hi There Amy,
I just wanted to say I really love your blog and the concept of your diet. I ended up not using the menus because there isn’t quantity and I wasn’t seeing success.
Kind regards,
Keto and you have not only changed my eating habits for the better, but changed my life as well. With all my heart and improved energy, I thank you.
Been yo-yo dieting with keto for a year or so. I’m not a good planner and Definately have hormone issues being 47 and having had a hysterectomy. I’ve tried the bio identical hormone cream but saw where you were trying OVA-m (could have totally used the wrong initials). Are those synthetic?
I love the OVA-m The full list of ingredients are on the website (Modere.com/ucanketo) Feel free to message me any time xo
I cannot take any of these due to post breast cancer hormone blocking medication.
Thank you Amy,
I have never written but I have been on Keto for about 6 years and it was the only diet that has worked for me . I have reached my goal and am staying in goal now for 5 years. I don’t do a strict keto now but I still don’t touch anything “white” , I have my trusty scale and weigh my meat and eat plenty of veggies and a few safe fruits. Keto isn’t for everyone but it works for me and I’m sticking to it. Thanks for your encouragement and recipes.
Great reminder that it is never too late to begin a healthy journey. Thanks for all you do to help others.
