Does this sound familiar?

You have struggled with weight in the past or maybe it didn’t happen until you got to the joy of perimenopause. Where you didn’t really change anything in your life yet all of a sudden you started seeing weight slowly (or quickly) accumulate around your belly- the “menopause belly” if you will.

So you go back to your tried and true diets that you have done in the past when you wanted to lose weight. Cut calories, reduce your carbs, start doing more cardio or bootcamp classes…

But this time things are different - this time the weight doesn’t come off and to top it all off you are struggling with sleep, stress, energy crashes, hot flashes, night sweats, irritability, brain fog and the weight keeps on piling on. So now you are frantic - even desperate. You try keto, you drop calories to 1200, you start fasting, you join even more exercise classes, try some fat burner pills, or even go on Optavia!

Not only did not work or was sustainable but it left you feeling even worse and potentially struggling with more weight than when you started.

Today I am going to dive deep into WHY this is happening and EXACTLY HOW we get our clients to get results!
