Have you been asking youself this question?

You’re not alone. The struggle is REAL!

My fellow ladies 40 + Do any of the following sound familiar?

👉 “I’m eating the same as I always have, but the I’m gaining weight.

👉 “No matter how much I exercise and diet, the scale won’t budge or worse I gain a pound.”

👉 “I don’t even want to look in the mirror anymore.

I get it and you are not alone.

Believe it or not, 60% of women gain weight during menopause due to hormonal changes?

I can definitely vouch for this because for the past 10 years I’ve been working with women 40+ and this is one of the first things they tell me when I meet with them (while pointing to their bellies).

What is happening is these hormone shifts affect your metabolism, appetite, and even where your body stores fat (can we say menopause belly😩)

So, try to have some grace with yourself.

Menopause weight gain isn’t your fault, and it doesn’t mean you’ve failed.

Your body is just navigating a new phase, and with the right approach, you can feel strong, healthy, and confident again.

🌟 What Can Help?

✅ Understanding the role of hormones like estrogen and cortisol.

✅ Adjusting your nutrition to support hormone balance by prioritizing protein- I really can’t emphasize this enough!

✅ Incorporating exercise, strength training in particular.

✅ Consider switching up your meal timing.

💬 So if of this sounds familiar or is resonating with you, know you’re definitely not alone.

Hello there! 👋 If we haven't crossed paths before, allow me to introduce myself…

I've been a fitness fanatic for as long as I can remember💃.

In January 2015, I opened my personal training studio for women 40 and older. Over the past 10 years, I've had the absolute privilege of helping so many amazing women transform their lives.

I have grown to understand that a woman’s body over 40 is different, not to mention we are just a little bit tired and burnt out 🤪. I've done the research and experienced it firsthand.

Maintaining my weight has only sometimes brought happiness. There were times when I was fit but felt miserable.

Now, at 48, my focus is on achieving a healthy and sustainable weight. No more quick fixes or chasing my 20-year-old self 😜

Some days, I just strive to roll over in bed without pulling a muscle…

That's where my 12/30 Method came about, and it's a total game-changer 🏋️‍♀️. With 12/30, I can finally enjoy ALL foods guilt-free without getting caught up in the carb, calorie, or fat confusion 🥗

And guess what?

12/30 only requires 30 minutes of exercise 3x per week. Sounds crazy, right? It can even work without exercise…
But, as a PT, I didn't tell you that 🤫

Exercise is about more than weight control, especially as we age gracefully.

I love working with women who want to lose weight or feel better.

Recently, I launched my online 12/30 Method program. It's super exciting because now I can virtually help countless women achieve their health and weight loss goals.

✅ My coaching program is fit for you if:

👗 You're a woman (it works for men too, but I prefer coaching the gals).
🏃‍♀️ You have weight you'd like to lose. Or you’d like to more easily maintain your physique.

😓 You don't want to feel hungry or sore (I have a solution!).

🙅‍♀️ You've tried countless diets and programs that didn't work or left you feeling miserable, leading to quitting.

🏋🏻 You don't have access to or feel comfortable in the gym. Just 30 minutes of activity 3 times a week is all you need.

🙌 You enjoy eating regular food without the hassle of counting macros or depriving yourself of entire food groups.

😘 You're nice and pleasant to work with (because I am).

Sound like a fit? I invite you to join our vibrant and supportive community of like-minded individuals on the same path.

Be part of a community that celebrates your victories, understands your challenges, and helps you stay motivated on your transformative journey. We're all in this together! 🥂

Struggling with weight loss during menopause? You’re not alone!

Here are 3 effective tips to help women over 40 lose weight and feel their best:

1️⃣ Focus on Strength Training: Building muscle boosts your metabolism, which slows down during menopause. Add weightlifting or bodyweight exercises to your routine 2-3 times a week.

2️⃣ Prioritize Protein: Aim for 20-30 grams of protein at every meal and 10-12 grams for snacks. This helps manage blood sugar and supports hormone health. 

4️⃣ Prioritize Sleep: Poor sleep impacts your metabolism and hormones. Aim for 7-8 hours per night and establish a calming bedtime routine.

✨ Remember: Peri/ Menopause is a transition, not a limitation. With the right strategies, you can feel strong, energized, and confident!
