For years, "fitness" meant:
Pushing through pain
No pain no gain
Ignore your body

At 40, my body stopped cooperating.

Injuries piled up.
Weight wouldn't budge.
Everything hurt.

I switched my entire focus to FLEXIBILITY.

Not for performance.
For healing.

30 minutes alternating days:
• Yin yoga
• Gentle stretching
• Deep breathing
• Nothing forced

What happened shocked me:
✓ Weight started dropping (10kg total)
✓ Pain disappeared
✓ Sleep improved dramatically
✓ Inflammation markers normalized

My body didn't need more intensity.
It needed permission to heal.

Yoga at 40+ isn't about touching your toes or being flexible or more fit....
It's actually therapy for the soul.

Salads for lunch. Skipping breakfast. "Being good."
Thinking I was intermittent fasting

But still gaining weight!

The mistake? Thinking eating LESS was the answer.
Assuming intermittent fasting was all about skipping meals.

It's not.

When you under-eat, your body thinks you're starving.
It slows your metabolism.
Holds onto every calorie.
Stores fat "just in case."

When I started eating MORE (but the right foods at the right times)?

My metabolism woke up.
Energy came back.
Weight finally came off.
I got intermittent fasting correct!

Not calorie cutting.
Nourishing, delicious food that actually fueled my hormones.

This is what I teach in Step 2: MAGIC - the complete nutrition piece.

But first? You need to fix cortisol with the right exercise and rest.

That's what my FREE 7-Day Breakthrough does.

Fix the foundation first. Then add the fuel.

I used to feel guilty about rest days.

Like I was being lazy.
Like I should be doing something.
Like rest was for other people.

Meanwhile my body was screaming:
• Weight creeping up
• Sleep getting worse
• Energy tanking
• Cortisol maxed out

At 43, I started scheduling "do nothing" days.

Full permission to:
Rest completely
Read a book
Take a nap
Gentle walk only

The weeks I honored rest?
Those were the weeks I lost weight.

Consistently.

Your body at 40+ doesn't grow from the workout.
It grows from the recovery.

And sometimes "do nothing" is the highest ROI thing you can do.

The 7-Day Metabolic Breakthrough teaches you exactly when to rest and why it works.

I tried every quick fix:
• 30-day challenges
• Extreme diets
• Intense programs
• "Lose 10kg fast!"

Every single one:
Worked temporarily.
Then stopped working.
Left me heavier than before.

At 41, I gave myself permission to go SLOW.

0.5-1kg per month.
Tiny changes only.
Rest included.
No pressure.

It felt impossibly slow.
Everyone else was doing dramatic transformations.

But after 12 months:
✓ Lost 10kg total
✓ Kept it ALL off
✓ Energy stable
✓ Sustainable forever
✓ No restriction
✓ Actually enjoying life

At 40+, your metabolism doesn't respond to force.
It responds to patience.

"Slow" isn't a compromise.
It's the strategy.

The 7-Day Metabolic Breakthrough starts you on the sustainable path.

Every morning for 3 years:
60-minute bootcamp
Drenched in sweat
Proud of myself

Also every morning:
Coffee to survive
Inflammation climbing
Weight not budging
Yelled at my husband and my daughter for no reason

Then I tried something that felt "too easy"...

3 minutes of breathwork
Right after waking
Before anything else

Within 2 weeks:
• Cortisol dropped
• Lost weight
• Energy stable all day
• Less fighting and irritability

At 40+, more intensity isn't always better, especialy on those around you
Sometimes healing and happiness starts with slowing down.

Want the exact breathwork protocol I use?

Often in life before great progress comes immense pain. For me this is true too

I had to hit rock bottom in order to rebuild and grow. In that moment I found yoga. Not to help with pain or with weight loss but to just FEEL

Yoga is not for weight loss. It’s is in fact my reason for being. It’s connecting with something so powerful for myself. Just me. Not the family. Not my clients. Not my work or anything other than me.

This is me. This is my reason for feeling and for ultimately being.

If only people could feel more then they would love more and the more love the more their body responds.

Feel the love. ❤️
Yoga.
Let go of what it is or whether you can do it and just feel your body. It is yours

You're skipping breakfast because you're not hungry (that's a RED FLAG, btw).

You're eating less thinking it = fasting.

You're restricting calories and wondering why the weight won't budge.

That's NOT Intermittent Fasting.

And it's why your metabolism is broken.

I made the exact same mistakes for YEARS.

Then I learned what IF actually is... and finally lost the weight.

I weighed myself every morning for 2 years and felt...

Up 0.6kg? Ruined my day.
Down 1kg? Still not enough.
The number controlled how I felt about my body.

My cortisol stayed HIGH.
From the scale confusion alone.

At 43, I decided instead of blaming myself for what the scale showed,
I would study it like a scientist without judgement or blame.

Committed to 8 weeks like a science experiment.

Measured also:
• How my bowels were
• My energy levels
• My sleep quality
• My food macro's
• My exercise or rest days

At the end: Lost 5kg.
Found out what actually was driving the scales results

But more importantly:
• Stress decreased
• Relationship with food healed
• Actually enjoyed the process
• Sustainable forever

The scale is a inflammatory indicator.
Your energy, sleep, exercise, rest and food (and alcohol) all dictate how inflammation impacts the scales.

The 7-Day Metabolic Breakthrough teaches you what Exercise and Rest helped move the scales down....

One "healthy" salad for me.
One "real" dinner for the family.

Exhausting. Unsustainable. Lonely.

Now? We all eat the same meals.

Delicious. Nourishing. Family-approved.
(And secretly optimised for MY hormones)

Higher healthy fats. Strategic protein. Goldilocks carbs.

My daughter does not even know she's eating "metabolic food."
She just know it tastes amazing and her skin and her hormones are better then friends her age.

The mistake I was making? Thinking healthy food had to be different food.

It doesn't.

You can feed your metabolism AND your family.

This is what I teach in Step 2: MAGIC - the complete nutrition piece.

But first? Fix cortisol with exercise and rest.

That's my FREE 7-Day Breakthrough.
