    Amanda interviewed menopause coach Gaby about her journey into coaching and her REAL Method program for women experiencing perimenopause and menopause. Gaby  shared how her own experience with competitive bikini fitness led to hormonal imbalances, including three years without a period and adrenal fatigue, which motivated her to create a more sustainable approach for women. She explained that her 3-month REAL Method program addresses the three key areas of nutrition, exercise, and mindset, focusing on working smarter rather than harder with exercises like deadlifts, squats, push-ups, pull-ups, and planks. Gaby  provided specific tips including incorporating fiber and protein in every meal, going for gentle walks after eating, working out with compound movements, and avoiding coffee on an empty stomach. She noted that women typically lose 10-15 pounds in three months through her program, emphasizing sustainable changes over quick fixes, and shared that she's currently adding hypnotherapy and EFT therapy to her offerings to provide a more comprehensive approach.
