You hit 40 and weight loss becomes even harder….

Can I be honest for a minute?

If you’re like me, life feels easier staying chronically stressed.

It meant I didn’t have to deal with my feelings or slow down for a hot minute to actually check in with myself.

Truth be told, I’ve lived in HIGH STRESS at many stages of life...

👫When I got divorced.
🚀 When I was diagnosed with Major Depression and PTSD
😷 And right now… a mortgage broker who stole millions from a lot of us (a story for another day)

You know what all of these have in common?

😫HIGH CORTISOL.

You see, the reason you’re not…..

▪️Getting the toned & fit body you want
▪️Experiencing fantastic energy you crave
▪️Loving your s*x life and can’t wait to get naked
▪️Fitting into your clothes and feeling confident

Is NOT because you’re not consistent with your supplement regime or gym routine…..

✅It’s because of your hormones.

Every single one of our clients struggle with the EXACT same thing.

HIGH CORTISOL.
HORMONE IMBALANCES.

The truth?

You can’t really get better with tightening up your diet and exercising without FIRST addressing the root cause.

✅Root cause approach is EVERYTHING.

I can promise, once you you address your hormones and cortisol levels……

YOU CAN experience:
😃sustainable weight loss
😃consistent energy
😃amazing s*x drive
😃increased motivation
😃zero bloat

It may be time to re-evaluate what you have been trying, to manage the high cortisol and weight gain, and try something new that WILL work if you are ready to put in the work!

4 hormone imbalances I wish I had known about before hitting perimenopause...

For the life of me, I couldn’t figure out why I was tired ALL THE TIME.

I felt like a walking zombie 🧟‍♀️ most days, even when I slept well the night before.

My weight hit an all time high when I turned 41.. my thyroid 'bloodwork' said everything was “normal.” 😭

Fatigue is just one of the many symptoms we see as we get older.

This could be a sign of adrenal stress, hypothyroidism & low iron just to name a few.

The most common hormonal imbalances we see are:

🩹Hypothyroidism (low thyroid)
🩹Estrogen dominance
🩹Insulin resistance
🩹High cortisol

These 4 will keep the weight on, regardless of how clean you’re eating or how much you’re exercising.

If you’re not looking under the hood and addressing the root causes, food restriction won’t cut it for weight loss.

As we navigate through the menopause journey, it is no longer just about calories in verses calories out.
It isn't the time to give up and just go through it alone, but it is time to start a different approach.

Let me help you! I am living proof that you can lose weight and keep it off during the menopause stages!!

I promise once you start working WITH your hormones, your weight will drop, your energy will skyrocket 🚀 and your libido will come back.

Why ‘Bootcamp-only’ Classes Make You Gain Weight

Before you knock me, hear me out….

I’ve tried Orange Theory, F45 and other bootcamp style classes back in the day - and I enjoyed it.

But, I lost muscle & gained weight in the process.

Here’s the thing…..

If you already live a high-stress lifestyle:

-work a full-time job
-wake up at the crack of dawn to exercise
-have numerous people you’re responsible for
-go 100 miles an hour most days…..

This way of training will most likely backfire.

Here’s why…..

If you’re going 5-6 days a week, your body has ZERO time to recover.

You’re also not building muscle the same way you do when strength training with weights.

Muscle mass is what still keeps you burning fat even at rest!

Let’s say you’ve been doing these classes for 6 months.

The first few months you got insane results.

The weight was dropping.
The inches were falling off.

Then, all of a sudden your weight stalled.

You decide to eat a little less to move through the plateau.

Nothing changes.

You decide to add in another day of HIIT hoping the dial will move.

You’ve been busting your a** for 3 weeks following this eat a little less, train a bit more routine.

You know for a fact your pants will fit loser and the scale will be lower.

I mean, why not? You’ve tried harder than ever to get your weight down.

You get on the scale, it’s up 4 pounds and your jeans are tight.

Now what?

This is where rubber meets the road.

Do you take a few days off and allow yourself to eat some carbs?

Or, do you keep pushing hoping it’s maybe because you accidentally threw your jeans in the dryer?

Most women do the latter.

Enter high cortisol, low thyroid output & a sluggish metabolism.

Trust me, I’ve been here too.

I can 100000% promise there IS A BETTER WAY.

Find yourself hitting a plateau and need support with figuring out your unique metabolism?

6 Holistic approaches to managing perimenopause symptoms!!

1 - Hot Flashes and Night Sweats:
Try to avoid triggers such as caffeine, alcohol, spicy foods and tight clothing.
Opt for herbal remedies such as black cohosh or evening primrose.
Try mind-body practices like yoga and meditation to manage stress and regulate body temperature.

2. Irregular Menstrual Cycles:
Fruits, veggies and lean protein can support hormone balance.
Herbs such as chasteberry (Vitex) or red clover may help with menstrual regulation.

3. Sleep Disturbances:
Establish a regular sleep schedule and bedtime routine. Stay consistent with it.
Herbal supplements such as passionflower or chamomile tea may help with evening relaxation.
Avoid stimulants like caffeine, alcohol or electronic devices several hours before bedtime.

4. Mood Swings and Emotional Changes:
Regular exercise helps boost the mood and alleviate symptoms of anxiety or depression.
Mindfulness practices like meditation or journaling helps with self-awareness and emotional resilience.

5. Weight Gain and Metabolic Changes:
Having a balanced diet with protein, fats and carbs can support metabolic health.
Strength training over cardio - because lean muscle burns fat even at rest.
Start LIFTING!!

6. Vaginal Dryness and Changes in Libido:
Pelvic floor exercises can help increase blood flow to the pelvic region.
Use natural lubricants like coconut oil or vitamin E - this helps prevent dryness and discomfort.
Be OPEN with your partner so they can understand what your feeling.

It is important to listen to your body and take control of what you do to help with your perimenopause/menopause symptoms.

And always be sure to speak to your doctor before taking any type of supplement as some can respond negatively with prescription meds.

5️⃣ reasons why yo-yo dieting or super low-calorie meal plans HURT your metabolism - especially in the perimenopause and menopause stages.

#1 = MUSCLE LOSS
Protein is essential for building and maintaining muscle loss. When yo-yo dieting or reducing your ‘calorie’ intake, you tend to cut the most important foods, such as protein.
AND, as you lose muscle, your body adapts which slows down the metabolic rate to conserve energy.

#2 = METABOLIC ADAPTION
Consistently consuming very few calories, your body then adapts by slowing down to conserve energy. This response can persist even after you resume normal eating patterns, causing the weight or even more weight to come back.

#3 = HORMONAL CHANGES
The menopause journey is fascinating and complicated. Staying in a low calorie diet will disrupt hormonal balance by reducing levels of thyroid hormones….and thyroid hormones are essential for regulating your metabolism.

#4 = NUTRIENT DEFICIENCIES
Staying in a low calorie diet or a diet that allows you to eat anything you want with the ‘point’ system, fail to provide adequate essential nutrients.
Your body needs vitamins, minerals and fatty acids!! Deficiencies in these nutrients can impair your hormones and your metabolic processes.

#5 = INCREASED FAT STORAGE
Perimenopause is known for causing extra ‘tummy fat’.
By constantly yo-yo dieting, you are losing and gaining weight constantly. This will lead to increased fat storage, particularly in the tummy area. Add that + perimenopause and weight loss may seem impossible.
Having increased fat storage also increases your risk of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes.

As you navigate through your menopause journey, be aware of what you put in your body - especially during the metabolic reset stage.

The metabolic reset stage is the beginning of your journey to sustainable weight loss!!

Eat more protein = 25-35g each meal!!
Drink water = all day!!!
Add flax seeds to your shakes, yogurt or oatmeal.

EAT MORE!! And you will lose more!! (as in eating more nutrient-dense, whole foods)

Women tell me these 3 things are their top goals…

1. Weight loss
2. Toning up and building strength
3. Hormone & metabolism help

But every so often we get some who are convinced their old ways work best.

Dieting 5x a year
Forgoing weight lifting, and only doing cardio
Not eating enough protein
Living off stress hormones

But those tactics never work long-term, especially as you head into Perimenopause.

You have to EAT and LIFT to build lean muscle in order to maintain a healthy metabolism.

You HAVE to find ways to decompress your body, otherwise you’re living off high stress hormones and at some point your energy will tank.

You HAVE to sleep to replenish your energy levels and testosterone levels.

Most women over 35 suffer with low thyroid levels and estrogen/progesterone imbalances.

More often than not, these imbalances are causing stress fat and inflammation.

And even more often than not… you have the right tools to melt the MENO-FAT you just need a solid plan to follow, an accountability partner and someone right beside you who KNOWS how to navigate an teach you the ways during your own individual journey…

5 Tips to Improve Your Hormones Over 35!

Struggle with belly fat?
🌞Vitamin C is a great buffer for high cortisol. I would recommend taking 2000 MG’s daily.

Of course, managing stress is always important for cortisol as well.

I can’t tell you how many times I reach for a bag of chips craving massive amounts of that delicious crunch.

But, once I started implementing more protein in my diet, my cravings drastically disappeared.

Aim for 25 to 35 g of protein per meal to keep you satisfied.

Many women struggle with fatigue.

Of course Sleep is most important but if you can’t sleep at all, supplements can help you!.
Ashwagandha and 5HTP are just a couple to help you get more 💤😴 (keep in mind if you are currently taking any medication, to speak to your doctor before adding additional supplements).

Anytime, I’m lacking motivation, I look at the weather, hormones, and my food intake.

And I can tell you, when you lack that motivation, a BIG factor is the food you are eating!

Make sure to supplement with dopamine rich foods.

Foods like bananas 🍌, dark chocolate 🍫, avocado 🥑, eggs 🍳, fish 🐠 & almonds.

7 crazy things happened when I balanced my hormones and rebooted my metabolism.

Learn my own secrets on how I lost my tummy weight and healed my metabolism.

It’s wild.

🍬My sugar cravings drastically decreased because I learned how to fuel my body with whole foods… and stopped relying on processed junk.

🐳 My bloating and digestive issues improved significantly!

I no longer walked around looking like I was 9 months pregnant and eating digestive enzymes by the handful.

😅 My workouts felt amazing.. Even when I didn’t feel like lifting.

💪 My lean muscle finally started to come back because I focused on getting at least 25-30g of protein each meal. (and it really is easy once you have the right tools)

I continuously change my workout routine so my body doesn’t just adapt and stay the same.
As someone who loved the gym, I was totally burned out, but now I’m back in game and it feels great!

😊 I have always been a ‘napper’... and couldn’t function without my midday naps. I no longer need them to stay alert! .

😮‍💨 My body started to “de-puff”.

The best way to explain it is I felt like my body finally “let go” of the perimenopause fat.

An added bonus was the scale dropping and I lost 35lbs and have kept it off since 2022.

🫶AND finally, my moods and brain fog lifted.

I wasn’t forgetting people’s names, stalling with words or feeling moody AF.

Are you ready to learn how to heal your crazy perimenopause hormone shifts and your metabolism to lose weight, build lean muscle and regain your energy again…

These symptoms are a snippet of what is going on within our body when entering the perimenopause and menopause transition.

As you can see, some of the symptoms between the 6 main hormone players are similar.

Weight gain = happens when 5 out of 6 hormones are out of whack…
Fatigue/trouble sleeping = happens when all 6 are out of whack…
Muscle Weakness/inability to build lean muscle mass = happens when 4 are imbalanced…

You get the point

As hormones shift during this stage, it could feel like you are going to war with your own hormones.

It could feel like…why try… because your body is working against itself.

It becomes clear that just eating healthy and working out aren’t going to work on their own anymore.

But it doesn’t have to be hard to navigate.

And you most definitely do not have to do it alone!!

Because of all these imbalances, why not invest in yourself NOW to balance those pesky hormones and make the transition as smooth as you can.

We don’t just teach you how to move and eat…

There is so much more to it, especially as we age.

And menopause is still a ‘hush’ topic

So here I am… sharing and teaching how to optimize and balance your hormones…
- Walking right beside you
- Guiding you
- Showing you that you don’t have to just tough it out

If I could just tell you to do this, don’t do that, eat this, don’t eat that…it would be simple.

But there is nothing simple about the menopause transition.

What is simple, is having someone to help you along the way.
Someone who knows how to take a holistic approach so you don’t have to pill pop the rest of your life
Someone who walks in the same shoes as you!

Don’t be afraid…we don’t bite

Let us all make menopause mainstream!!

Do you think you are too young to be in perimenopause?

Are you 35+ and experiencing any of the symptoms listed, or even other ones?

Have you been told you are too young or it is just a symptom of something else?

Or, are you just ‘surviving’ through it, waiting for it to end?

Here is the thing, you don’t need to go through any of it ALONE!

When was the last time you felt:

Confident in your own skin?
In control of your own happiness?
Had energy to conquer the day?

Perimenopause can last 4 - 10 years…

And that is a long time to just ‘tough it out’

What if I told you there are actual ways to optimize those crazy hormones to feel better, lose weight still, and sail on through perimenopause in better way.

What we do with our perimenopause and menopause clients isn’t just about a diet program.
It also isn’t just about ‘moving more’

It is all about women's health, supporting you through education and empowering you to be your best self.

We support you on your fat loss journey in ways that are different than just the ‘eat right and exercise’.

Fat loss is just a bi-product of the education and support you receive.

You will no longer have to:

Toss and turn all night with thoughts racing through your mind about what is happening to your body…
Turn to your man doctor for menopause support…
Stay silent and feel alone…
Read and research on the internet for countless hours, only making you more confused and frustrated…

We guide you down the right path to figure out what is going on and work towards a holistic approach to balancing your hormones.

You never have to be alone!
We got you!

Just eat right and exercise…🥕 🏋🏼‍♀️

We have been hearing this our entire lives.

If you want to lose weight, just eat right.
If you want to be fit and toned…just exercise.

Well my friends, if you are heading into the menopause transition, there is more to it than just eating right and exercising.

Don’t get me wrong… I preach that motto all day long.

But are you experiencing any of this:

⛔ Zero motivation… nothing like you have ever felt before
⛔ Little to no energy… and it is affecting everything in your daily life
⛔ Results that have plateaued…even though you have increased your movement routine
⛔ Insomnia… sleep.. What is sleep?
⛔ Increased muscle weakness and joint pain

I want to make one thing clear…menopause doesn’t just happen after 50.
And if you have been told you are too young to be heading into perimenopause

You have been lied to. 🤥

As your hormones shift from the symphony they once were, you will start noticing the above changes.

But that doesn’t mean you are doomed and won’t ever lose weight again.

It just means you need some tweaking with your diet and exercise.

Nutrition and Fitness play a very crucial role during perimeno and menopause.

By making changes to your routine, it may increase symptoms OR manage and alleviate symptoms.

This is a lifestyle we CAN control.

Insulin becomes a major player as we move through menopause and it becomes harder for our body to manage it.

But Jenny, I eat healthy and all the time and nothing is changing!

I hear this daily and I feel the frustrations.

Wouldn’t it be easier if you had someone to ride the ride... right beside you?

Someone who knows how to manage symptoms and guide you into a smoother hormonal transition.

You are not alone!!

Menopause is still a ‘hush’ word!

Let us make menopause mainstream.

Stop trying to figure it out on your own. You will only want to throw things and scream!

DM me and let’s chat.
Chatting is FREE and you may walk away learning something
