Ever wondered why staying fit and eating right feels like a whole new ball game after 35? Amy and I will walk you through it with honest talk and practical advice. We're diving into the world of perimenopause, shedding light on the hormonal rollercoaster many women experience. But it's not all doom and gloom – we're all about embracing our body's changes and finding strength in them. Get ready to learn what's counterproductive and what to consider modifying as you look to maximize this next phase of life!

As we get older, our approach to fitness and food needs a refresh, and that's exactly what we're doing. No more punishing workouts or restrictive diets that damage our hormones, metabolism and gut health – it's all about feeling strong, vibrant, and loving what you eat. From understanding how hormones affect our hunger to redefining breakfast, we're sharing tips that actually work and are tailored to our stage of life.

But it's not just about us – we're also shining a light on how our health impacts society as a whole. We're grateful that even doctors and experts are joining our program to learn the new science of working with our female physiology. We're also passionate as ambitious working moms to also teaching our kids, especially our daughters, about working with their bodies and not against them. Our goal? To start a ripple effect of knowledge and self-awareness, guiding you and our community toward a life filled with health and happiness. Join us in this journey to living your best life!
