Most women don't have a weight loss problem...

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 back or why are you unable to lose now? AND- when you're no longer getting a result, it's assumed that it's YOUR fault for "cheating" on the program! I do NOT want this for you.... This is why I teach a totally different approach and one of the "hills I will die on" as a functional health coach is never to teach women how to "drop weight as fast as possible." I'm saddened to see women spending tons of time and money on unsustainable efforts. Sure, you could count every macro, follow a meal plan, or cut out all carbs and get results... but do you want to do that forever? Because that's what it will take to continue to keep that weight off. Or-- would you rather finally LEARN the skills to create healthy meals that you enjoy and also get you to your goals over time. Because REAL sustainable fat loss TAKES TIME. Period. There are no secret tricks or ways around this. If your plan only works while you're following the plan, you haven't actually learned how to maintain the result. So, ladies, let's rebel and learn a NEW way. Let's be empowered women who FEEL good and have energy for life before trying to force ourselves to be smaller. The diet industry can never ever again take advantage of a women who finally knows how to trust her own body. If you're feeling stuck, I'd love to help you learn how to trust yourself again and how to support your body composition without food rules.

Hi Reader We're approaching that time of year where you might think to yourself... welp, I ate Halloween candy, I have a ton of holiday events coming up and I'm just too busy this time of year to take care of my health... I'll just commit to starting over in the new year and be "really good" and finally lose the weight I've been battling with.... Then you give yoursself permission to do NOTHING for your health and live in total health and nutrition chaos until January 1st rolls around and...
Hey Reader One of the most frustrating things is putting effort into your health and fitness, stepping on the scale a few weeks later... and seeing the exact same number. But here's what I want you to consider: What if your body was changing—even though your weight wasn't? The scale only tells you your total body weight. It can't tell you how much of that weight is muscle, body fat, water, bone, or other tissues. And this is something I see with my clients all the time: Your body composition...
Hi Reader Last month we talked mostly about nutrition strategy in midlife-- what needs to change and why, and also why you can be doing all the "right" things and still not be doing what's right for YOU. This month I want to shift gears to the other side of that equation: FITNESS Many women are coming to me doing A LOT of exercise and still not seeing results. This can be confusing and frustrating, and the inclination is to think "I must not be working out hard enough. I'm going to add an...
