8 Ways to Look Better in Your 40s Than You Did in Your 30s [Waterbreak]

💪 Look better and feel better in your 40s than you did in your 30s? Annie did it. Here's how.

 

Annie Rench (41) walks through the changes that took her from tired, cold, foggy and stuck at 168 pounds in her 30s to 20 pounds lighter while eating more food in her 40s. Part 1 covers the first four of her eight: fixing her thyroid (and why "your TSH is fine" isn't the whole story), reverse dieting out of years of under-eating, testosterone replacement for women, and working less. Gabe chimes in as the husband who unclogged the shower drain and pushed for the schedule change. Healthy living. Biblical roots. Part 2 is coming.
