Hi ReaderI'll never forget my client from a few years ago, Rebecca... She came to me as a "pro dieter" (she even called herself that!) and told me she had done every diet in the book. They all would work for some time and then she would "get lazy" and "cheat" and she would stop losing or regain the weight (those are the words she used). She came to me literally asking for more willpower and motivation and said that she had lost all of hers and didn't know how to get it back so she could...

Hi Reader Happy Friday! 😂 I genuinely thought I’d have this whole adulthood thing figured out by now. Surely by midlife I’d have it all together? Apparently not. Here are a few things I thought would be easier by now. Which ones can you relate to or what can you add? Reply back- I seriously want to know! Remembering why I walked into a room...Still working on this one. Getting enough sleep.I know exactly how important it is. My child has other opinions. 😂 Recovering from a hard workout.I can...

Hi Reader Have you ever gone on a "diet" and actually lost weight? Most of the women I speak with have but the reason they are seeing me is because they were not able to maintain their losses and/or now they are stuck feeling like even their old methods aren't working anymore. So, this is actually useful information because if you find you HAVE lost weight in the past, then you don't actually have a weight loss problem! yay, good news! So, what is the problem then? Why did the weight come...

Hi Reader Most women who come to me have the same goals. They want to lose body fat, build lean muscle, and finally feel like themselves again. The problem is, they're also feeling stuck. They're eating healthy, exercising consistently, and wondering why nothing seems to be working anymore. Here's a perfect example of why getting "unstuck" can look completely different from one woman to the next. Last month I met with two women. Both wanted to lose body fat, build lean muscle, and feel...

Hi Reader A few months ago, I was referred a 51-year-old woman who almost didn't hire me because she wasn't convinced she needed coaching. She was already doing everything "right." At least, that's what she'd been told. She exercised consistently, ate what most people would consider a healthy diet, had started HRT about eight months earlier, and her estrogen and progesterone levels were right where her physician wanted them to be for a woman in menopause. On paper she was healthy and well and...

Hi ReaderHappy Friday! I shared this on Instagram this week, and I thought it was something we all need to hear from time to time. Click to view! I see this all the time with my clients. The scale hasn't changed yet... …but they're eating enough protein for the first time. They're getting stronger....They're sleeping better....They have more energy. They're building habits they can actually stick with... ...and they're finally done starting over every Monday doing unsustainable things only to...

Hi Reader Earlier this week I was walking on the treadmill when I accidentally overheard a conversation I wasn’t trying to eavesdrop on (funny, it was one of those days where I FORGOT my headphones, so I was able to hear everything happening around me and I just happened to hear THIS). Two women, probably in their late 60s or early 70s, were walking next to me talking about menopause. It started because one of them mentioned that her daughter (or maybe daughter-in-law) had gone through...

Hey Reader, If you're new here, every now and then on a Friday I like to bring you something a little different—a fun recipe, a personal story, or a challenge to try over the weekend. So... welcome to this month's Can You Do This? challenge. 😄 This one has nothing to do with push-ups, balance, or seeing how long you can hold a plank. Instead, I have a different question for you... Can you move for 5 minutes... without distracting yourself? Hear me out. A few days ago I was doing some easy,...

Hi Reader, One of the biggest shifts I made in my own health journey—and one of the biggest things I teach my clients—is this: Your hormones don't work alone. When most women start struggling in midlife, they immediately assume they need to "fix their hormones." And while hormones absolutely matter... They're only one piece of the picture. Your hormones are constantly interacting with your gut, your liver, your thyroid, your blood sugar, your nervous system, your sleep, and even your muscle...
