I'm Vera Brown — weight loss and health coach for women 40+ and host of the Fab Fit Forty Plus podcast. I lost 100+pounds naturally in my mid-40s, over 2.5 years, during perimenopause. No drugs, no injections, no extreme diets, no self-punishment.
I work with women who want to lose 30, 50, 80 or 100+ pounds. The strategies are the same. The transformation is real. And if I can do it, so can you.
