Muscle is what helps your body take food and use it for fuel instead of your body storing it as fat.

Unfortunately as our hormones decline our body favors muscle breakdown and our muscle building signal goes down = losing 3-8% of your muscle mass every decade starting at 30!

Which is why it is so dang easy to get fat and see muscle loss.

We have to be far more intentional on how to maintain muscle let alone build it - it will NOT happen on accident.

I walk you through exactly how we do this with our clients in this episode!

(00:54) - Why does build muscle even matter? (Masterclass details below!)

‣ Take The Fat Loss Fix Quiz: https://1ck2gu1qfir.typeform.com/menometabolism

For years, I was a chameleon—constantly changing myself to fit in.

I thought if I lost the weight, dressed right, achieved enough, and went above and beyond… maybe then I’d finally feel loved. Maybe then I’d belong.

But even when I reached the goal weight and checked all the boxes, I still felt empty.Because the truth is, no amount of shrinking yourself or chasing perfection can fill a self-worth wound.

In this episode, I’m opening up about:

- The painful words and actions from my dad that made me question my value

- How chasing weight loss and achievement never gave me confidence

- The moment I finally let go of his validation and claimed my worth

- A simple exercise that helped me finally see myself through the eyes of the people who love me

If you’ve ever hustled for your worth, tried to be someone you’re not, or thought weight loss would fix the emptiness… this episode is for you.

❤️ Your worth was never up for debate.

TIMESTAMPS:

(00:00) - Intro

(01:05) - Overview of Self-Worth & Abuse

(02:45) - My story with abuse & self-doubt

(07:50) - I was chasing self-worth in the wrong places

(10:40) - What I actually wanted

(14:35) - Try this exercise for your self-worth

(21:45) - You don't have to earn love or your worth

Spotify

Apple

You’re eating “clean.”

You’re cutting carbs.

You’re doing all the “right” things…

And you still feel exhausted.

Here’s the truth:

It’s not just age.

It’s not just hormones.

It’s that your body has stopped turning food into energy—and started storing it as fat.

😴 Low energy is one of the most common complaints in perimenopause and menopause.

But 90% of the time? It comes down to 2 major problems - tune in!

TIMESTAMPS:

(00:00) - Intro

(00:56) - Overview of low energy in menopause

(02:02) - How undereating calories & carbs affects your energy

(08:58) - Is it your metabolism?

(11:00) - Taking a look at the thyroid

(13:57) - Mitochondrial impairment

(14:57) - Brain struggles & happy hormones

(16:55) - Your liver detoxification & energy

(19:46) - Gut function & dysbiosis

You’re eating cleaner than ever…

No sugar. No junk. You’re cooking 90% of your meals from scratch — because you care about your health.

And yet…

The scale won’t budge.

Your jeans still feel tight.

The bloating, the exhaustion, the cravings? Still there.

And now you’re left wondering:

“What more can I do?”

“Why isn’t this working?”

Here’s the truth no one is telling you:

👉 Clean eating does not automatically equal fat loss — especially if your metabolism is sluggish, inflammation is high, or your hormones are out of sync.

If you're doing everything right and still stuck, this episode is your missing piece.

Because it’s not about trying harder — it’s about getting your body to respond differently.

You’ve cut the calories. You’ve tried the workouts.

You’ve pushed through exhaustion and cravings—and still, the weight won’t budge.

It’s not your fault.

It’s not your discipline.

And it’s not just age.

⚠️ The truth?

Most women over 40 are stuck in fat-storing mode—not because they’re doing it wrong, but because their hormones, thyroid, blood sugar, and stress signals are screaming for support. And your lab work is the roadmap you've been missing.

EVEN if your doctor says it’s “normal” we look for optimal

Because doctors can’t prescribe you anything until it is out of range

And at that point we are trying to get out of a pretty deep hole.

We want to optimize your health, lab levels and take control before things get worse!

In this free, value-packed webinar, I’ll show you how to:

🔍 Decode the lab markers your doctor might be ignoring🔥 Identify the hormonal blocks to fat loss

🧬 Build a fat-burning plan based on your unique data

💪 Finally feel like your body is working with you again—not against you

If you’re tired of guessing, exhausted by doing “all the things,” and ready for answers that actually change your body—this is the breakthrough you’ve been waiting for.

⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠You’ve been eating less.

⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Working out more.

⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Cutting carbs, skipping snacks, pushing harder.

⁠⁠⁠

⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠And your body?

⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Still tired. Still inflamed. Still storing everything you eat.

⁠⁠⁠

⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sound familiar?

⁠⁠⁠⁠

⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠💥 The truth is, if your body doesn’t feel safe…

⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠It won’t burn fat.

⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠It will store it.

⁠⁠

⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠That’s where reverse dieting comes in—but most women are doing it wrong.

⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠In this episode, I break down:

⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠🔄 What reverse dieting actually is (hint: it’s not just eating more)

⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⚠️ The most common mistakes I see women make that keep them stuck in fat storage mode

⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠🥩 How to structure your food and macros to teach your body to use fuel instead of fear it

⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⏳ The timeline you need to reset your metabolism and earn a fat loss phase that works

⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠🧠 The mindset shifts required to reverse diet without freaking out over the scale

⁠⁠

⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠If your body’s been fighting you at every turn…

⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠If you're gaining on low calories…

⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠If you’re terrified to eat more but desperate to feel like you again

⁠⁠⁠⁠

⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠🎧 This is your roadmap to metabolic freedom.

⁠⁠⁠⁠

⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠🔥 Tune in and get the do’s, the don’ts, and the exact steps I use with my 1:1 clients to unlock fat loss by fixing the foundation first.

Are you stuck in a loop of negative thinking, self-doubt, or frustration with your health journey? You might be unknowingly binge-watching the wrong mental programming—and your brain is queuing up more of the same.

In this episode, we dive into a powerful mindset shift using a relatable analogy: Netflix.

Just like your favorite streaming service recommends shows based on what you’ve watched, your brain serves up thoughts based on what you focus on—whether that’s lack, failure, or abundance and possibility.

You’ll learn:

- Why your brain keeps defaulting to self-sabotage

- How your “mental algorithm” affects consistency, cravings, and confidence

- The neuroscience behind focus and how it shapes your health outcomes

- Practical strategies to break the binge cycle of negative thoughts and start “streaming” - beliefs that align with who you want to become

- How this shift transformed my relationship with food, movement, and self-worth—and how it can do the same for you

If you’re ready to stop feeling stuck and start building lasting change from the inside out, this episode is your reset button.

TIMESTAMPS:

(00:00) - Intro

(01:35) - Our brains work the same way as Netflix

(04:40) - What you seek, you strengthen (Your RAS)

(09:20) - Reframing your thoughts & acknowledging your wins

(15:10) - What do you need to start doing instead?

Thinking about starting HRT—or already on it but not seeing results?

Here’s the truth: HRT isn’t a magic fix if your body isn’t ready.

In this episode, I’m breaking down the 5 things you need to do BEFORE starting hormone therapy so it actually works with your body—not against it.

We’ll cover gut health, liver detox, blood sugar, stress, and the key labs your doctor probably isn’t running.

If you want HRT to work the way it’s supposed to, this is where you start.

Going on HRT hoping it would be the answer to everything?

Better sleep, better moods, less brain fog, and finally some weight loss. But instead? You felt worse.

More bloated. More anxious. More confused.

And yes… More weight gain.

In this episode, I’m sharing why things went wrong, what I wish women knew before starting, and why so many women feel worse on hormone therapy when it’s supposed to help.

If you’re on HRT and not feeling better, or wondering if it’s right for you… this one’s for you.
