3 Weight Loss Mistakes Almost Everyone Over 65 Makes

Plus an expert-recommended nutrient that boosts brown fat for easier weight loss – no GLP-1 antagonists or diets required

Dr. Chad Wallding, DPT, ISSA Certified Nutrition Specialist 

If you’re over 65 and frustrated with stubborn fat, low energy, or a metabolism that feels “stuck in park,” it’s not your fault…


Your metabolism simply doesn’t work the way it did 20—or even 30—years ago. That’s because your body’s natural fat-burning switch (aka your brown fat) has quietly shut down. 


Unlike white fat, which stores calories, brown fat burns calories to generate heat and energy, helping you stay slim, energized, and naturally efficient at burning fat, even at rest. 


However, with age, this powerful fat can become dormant, leaving your metabolism sluggish and stubborn weight hard to budge.


The good news? A simple, little-known nutrient can help reactivate your brown fat—and it only takes seconds a day, and doesn't require synthetic GLP-1 solutions.


Which I’ll get into in just a moment. 


However, as a certified nutrition specialist and Doctor of Physical Therapy with over a decade of experience, I’ve identified three common weight loss mistakes that can turn off brown fat and your metabolism…


But they’re completely avoidable… if you know what to look for.

Mistake #1: Believing Weight Gain After 65 Is Just “Part of Aging”

Most women over 65 attribute stubborn weight gain to hormones, birthdays, or “just normal aging.”


But here’s the truth: extra abdominal fat is one of the earliest signs your brown fat isn’t doing its job…

“In my practice, I’ve seen countless women 65+ who think weight gain is inevitable. But in reality, their brown fat simply isn’t switched on—and that can be fixed.”

-Dr. Chad Walding, DPT, ISSA Certified Nutrition Specialist

Brown fat is special because instead of storing calories, it burns them for energy, helping you:

  • Burn calories even while you're resting
  • Boost your metabolic rate naturally
  • Convert stored fat into usable energy
  • Regulate your body temperature
  • Support healthy blood sugar levels
  • Increase your energy throughout the day
  • Maintain a healthy weight as you age
  • Reduce stubborn fat around your midsection


Because brown fat is mission critical to supporting a healthy metabolism and energy function, you can guess what happens to your body when it goes dormant:

  • Stubborn abdominal fat
  • Low energy
  • A “slowed” metabolism
  • Feeling hungry on diets that used to work

The bottom line is, weight gain and unsightly fat isn't just a “normal part of aging” you have to accept and live with…


It’s a metabolic warning sign that keeps millions stuck in the same frustrating cycle. But with just one simple addition to your morning routine, you don’t have to suffer anymore…

Mistake #2: Using the Same Diet Tricks You Used in Your 30s to Lose Weight & KickStart Your Metabolism

Calorie cutting…


Intermittent Fasting…


Skipping breakfast…


Intense Cardio…


These may have worked years ago, but if you’re over 65, reducing your calorie intake won’t help you lose weight. In fact, it can often cause more harm than good… 


You don't need another diet. You don't need to eat less or restrict more.


In fact, that's the worst thing you could do right now.


Research shows every time you cut calories—whether it's through intermittent fasting, skipping breakfast, or "eating clean"—you're keeping your brown fat asleep.


Think about it: Your body is already in energy conservation mode. When you undereat, you're confirming to your metabolism that there's a shortage. So it doubles down, burning even fewer calories to protect you.


You can't starve your way to an active metabolism.


The women who successfully reactivate their brown fat and rev up their metabolism after the age of 65? 


They're not the ones eating less. They're the ones who understand what their mature bodies actually need—and they're giving it exactly that.


There's a specific nutrient that your body is currently missing. One that directly supports the activation of brown fat and metabolic function. Once you replenish it, everything shifts.


Your metabolism doesn't need discipline or deprivation.


It needs fuel. The right fuel.

Mistake #3: Not Reactivating Your Brown Fat Using a Little-Known Nutrient: The Hidden Switch for Daily Calorie Burn

Here’s the big one.


Research now confirms that your brown fat can naturally be switched back on — but almost nobody knows how.


Surprisingly, one of the most effective activators comes from a fruit that ancient communities have eaten for centuries…


In steps the coconut. Specifically, the medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) inside it.


Unlike the fats from olive oil, nuts, or avocados (which must be broken down slowly), MCTs bypass normal digestion and go straight to the liver to be used as a natural energy source.

Which is why so many weight loss experts are urging older adults to eat them.

It gives them two powerful advantages:

1. MCTs ignite your brown fat stores to help support your metabolism almost immediately

The secret behind the powerful benefits of MCTs lies in their unique structural makeup. 


Unlike other types of fat, the chain length of MCTs allows them to act as a quick-acting energy source for the body. 


Since they don’t need to be processed by digestive enzymes, the body and brain can use them almost immediately to help boost brown fat stores and rev up a sluggish metabolism. 


So you can start naturally burning calories again – even when you’re at rest. 

2. MCTs help reduce appetite, burn fat, and shrink waistlines

Dozens of studies show MCTs help:

  • Reduce abdominal fat
  • Increase daily calorie burn & energy
  • Improve memory & mental clarity
  • Support blood sugar health
  • Boost fat oxidation (even at rest)

The National Library of Medicine reported that people taking MCTs lost more fat around their hips, waist, and organs (dangerous visceral fat) than those consuming other healthy fats.*


And in surprisingly little time.

But That’s Not All MCTs Can Do…

The benefits of coconut-derived MCTs don’t stop at metabolic support and weight management…


Further evidence suggests that MCTs may also serve as a powerful catalyst for various cognitive and cardiovascular benefits.


Aside from supporting your fat-burning metabolism, MCTs also significantly enhance brain health and improve cognitive function, including memory and mental clarity.


In fact, clinical trials have demonstrated that MCTs can improve cognitive vitality through a variety of pathways, including:


✔︎ Cognitive & Memory Improvement

One small study found that consuming 20g of MCTs with a meal may enhance working memory and attention in adults over 60 within 90 minutes of intake*.


✔︎ Healthy Brain Aging & Energy

Another small study on young adults shows that consuming 20-30g of MCTs per day increases ketones in the body by 8-9%, a process that provides additional fuel for brain function*.


✔︎ Boost Mental Health & Mood

MCTs may help alleviate occasional symptoms of anxiety and depression as well as mental fatigue when combined with light movement and exercise*.


✔︎ Appetite Control & Weight Managements

By promoting a greater feeling of fullness (satiety), MCT oil can significantly contribute to weight loss by curbing the urge to snack and help promote fat loss and weight management*. 

Other Clinically-Recognized Benefits of Coconut-Derived MCTs for Heart Health & Immunity Function

As research on MCTs continues, science has proven that this unique fatty acid can serve as a powerful catalyst for various cardiovascular and immune-supporting benefits.

✔︎ Supports Immunity:

As you get older, your immune system’s “alert system” gets a little sleepy. MCTs don’t just give you quick energy — they actually “wake up” certain immune cells that tend to slow down as we age.


These healthy fats:

  • Help your immune cells respond faster
  • Support a stronger defense when your body is under stress
  • Help calm unnecessary inflammation
  • Keep your metabolism and immune system communicating the way they should

✔︎ Promotes Cholesterol Health:

Since MCTs boost weight loss, this in turn helps improve heart health. Moreover, a study of 24 overweight participants found that taking MCTs for 29 days resulted in a 12.5% improvement in total cholesterol*. 


The same study also found better reductions in LDL or “bad” cholesterol when MCTs were added to their diet.

But Here’s the Catch with MCT Oil:

Coconut oil only contains a small amount of MCTs…


To fully activate brown fat and reap the metabolic benefits, you need a pure, concentrated form — such as MCT oil powder.

Which Is Why MCT Powder Is Better Than Using Conventional Coconut Oil…

✖︎ Raw coconut oil isn’t as quick and convenient to use on a daily basis.

In order to incorporate coconut oil into your diet, it requires heating to melt it, or a blender to thoroughly mix it into most recipes. Not to mention, oils are messy and tough to clean up. Generally, if it’s not convenient to use on a daily basis, the chances that you will actually reap the benefits of coconut-derived MCTs are slim.

✖︎ Pure MCT oil causes digestive distress.

Many people experience gut distress (diarrhea or “the runs”) when taking oil-based forms of MCTs. Due to its concentration, users of liquid MCT oil are warned to stick with small doses as the oil-form can cause uncomfortable digestive issues including cramps and irregular bowel movements. On the other hand, the powder form provides a controllable “slowed” release of MCTs, making it much more tolerable for your gut. Thus you can take greater amounts of MCTs, and even double the body & brain benefits compared to the conventional liquid oil form.

✖︎ You have to really love the taste of coconuts.

Coconut oil has a very potent flavor that will make your coffee, smoothies, tea, and other recipes taste like coconut (and nothing else). Adding it to just about anything can create an overpowering taste and aroma, therefore individuals who aren’t fond of the coconutty-flavor will likely find this to be an unsuitable option.

The Doctor-Recommended Way To Activate Your Brain, Body, And Energy Levels With Coconut-Derived MCTs

NativePath MCT Oil Powder

  • Improve cellular metabolism and energy
  • Stabilize blood sugar and reduce fat storage
  • Increase the body's ability to burn fat and calories

✔︎ Improve cognitive vitality:

  • Enhance memory recall and focus
  • Repair brain cell damage

“If you want to experience the body and brain benefits of elevated ketones (without having to eat spoonfuls of raw coconut oil to get there), you need an MCT powder that solves the quality and convenience equation.”

At NativePath, we took a few extra steps in order to deliver the most highly-absorbable, clinically effective MCT formula on the market today.


That’s why we used only the purest, bioavailable form of medium-chain triglycerides — coconut-derived MCTs — and carefully dehydrated these oil-based fats into a lightweight powder.


Evidence suggests that using powder-form MCTs instead of the conventional “liquid-oil” form is the superior choice for a few reasons...


Unlike liquid-oil MCT products, using a high-quality powder format allows for easier digestion and less gut distress. This allows the body and brain to utilize the MCTs more efficiently.


This makes reaping the benefits of MCTs far easier than compared to messy, greasy oils, too… 


With the convenient portable powder, you can simply add a couple of scoops into any hot or cold beverage to activate your metabolic & cognitive pathways to uplift your energy, boost weight loss, energy, and fuel brain function.


In addition, our formula contains only one ingredient: 100% coconut-derived MCTs. 


You won’t find any sugars, artificial flavors, preservatives, or harsh chemicals.


What’s more, every batch is lab-tested at our GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) certified facility to ensure it is free from heavy metals, toxins, and microbes with no solvents ever used in the process — yielding an MCT supplement that is as close to ‘real food’ nourishment as you can get.

Now You Can “Wake Up” Your Mind, Metabolism, & Vitality With Just A Couple Scoops In Your Morning Coffee

By adding a scoop or two to your morning coffee or tea, you’ll be powering every neuron and cell within your brain and body with a vibrant dose of energy… 


Within a matter of minutes, the MCTs are rapidly absorbed into your bloodstream…


And just like flipping a light switch…


You’ll notice your body and mind becoming fully activated as the MCTs “turn on” mental sharpness and “turn up” your metabolism for easier fat loss to occur naturally.

MCT Oil Powder Only Works If You…

  • Take it on a consistent daily basis. Simply add it to your morning coffee or smoothie
  • Take the proper dose. By taking two scoops a day, you are consuming 10 grams of MCT, which ensures that your body will absorb the most effective amount of MCT so that maximum results can be achieved
  • Take it for the proper amount of time. Clinical studies show that the longer you use MCT Oil Powder, the greater (and longer-lasting) the benefits will be

In other words, taking a scoop here and there isn’t going to cut it. 


Consistency is key. 


Which is why I recommend my clients to:

  • Start with at least 3 jars of NativePath MCT Oil Powder at a time.
  • And 6 jars if they want to be completely safe. 
  • Then take it for a period of at least 90 days.

And there’s never been a better time to secure your supply of our best-selling MCT Oil Powder than now…


Because so many studies show that using more MCT for longer durations yields the greatest results…


We wanted as many people as possible to have access to this powerful supplement.

MCT Oil Powder is Excellent

Doris Bleecher

Since I started using this product in my morning coffee is have felt more alert and that I have not been craving snacks like I used to. With the stress of the quarantine, I tended to want to eat more, now I feel full most of the day and as a result more energetic. I have my husband taking it now as well along with NativePath Collagen. We are both in our early 70s and I felt we needed to boost our immune system, get out in the sun and walk more to be strong during these scary times.

Less of a gut

Patricia G.

I'm very happy with this product. I'm not as hungry as I was and I'm making better food choices. My mid-section isn't sticking out so much.

Good Stuff

Dan S.

One of my friends uses a few of NativePath's products and she is always asking me to give the MCT a try. She said no more complaining about cravings unless I at least try it out. I finally took her up on it and it did not disappoint, it also helped that she bought me the jar so I really had no excuse. I started adding to a smoothie in the early afternoon and practically overnight my pre-dinner cravings vanished. I'm a fan!! And....now a paying customer! :)

My secret weapon...

Joey

Since starting to take this daily in my smoothies I've noticed an increased sharpness. I don't drink coffee, I know lots of people put it in their coffee, but I put it in my smoothies. I also take the krill oil, turmeric, and probiotics from this company. Just ordered the collagen. Looking to collect them all. ;)
