šŸ”„For women 35+ who gained 10+lbs & can’t lose belly fat
🄦Lose fat, ditch bloat, brain fog & anxiety
šŸ’ŖšŸ»Heal your metabolism+balance hormones Naturally

šŸ«¶šŸ»Our feelings-free workout policy is why we’ve be šŸ«¶šŸ»Our feelings-free workout policy is why we’ve been so consistent working out exclusively AT HOME the last 6.5 years

Some mornings everything is working against you. 
Bad sleep, kids, your cycle, foggy head, body that just feels off.

šŸ’ŖšŸ»Those are the most important days to show up.

Not because you’ll feel great going in.

šŸ’šBut because of who you become when you do it anyway.

Feelings-free means the decision is already made. You don’t negotiate with yourself in the moment. You just go.

40oz of water with electrolytes and lemon before we started. Still dragging. 
But Five minutes in, my head cleared, body awake, lifted heavy, felt strong.

šŸ¦øšŸ»ā€ā™‚ļøThe workout saved my day. It always does.

And here’s what makes it actually sustainable: we only work out 3 days a week.

That’s it. 

My husband Andy programs every single workout — all we have to do is show up and follow along.

It’s all about the right programming & how you choose to show up for yourself 

No guessing, no planning, no decision fatigue. 
The mental load is completely gone.

If you need a gym, 6 days a week, a bag, a drive, and a plan, second guessing yourself…you’re adding four reasons to talk yourself out of it. 

Three days a week, from home, with the right programming? The policy actually works šŸ™ŒšŸ»

ā€˜ā€˜Tis the season for colds & feeling run down. My ā€˜ā€˜Tis the season for colds & feeling run down.

My daughter wasn’t feeling well. But I didn’t reach for a pill, I reached for my pot!

This is the soup I’ve been making for years.
Every ingredient has a job.

Bone broth heals the gut lining and floods the body with collagen and glycine.

šŸ§„Garlic and onion are nature’s antimicrobials (we’ll even chop it and swallow it raw. when we’re sick and then avoid talking to anyone the next dayšŸ˜‚)

Salt replenishes the electrolytes you lose when you stop eating normally. ACV supports gut pH.

šŸ„¬šŸ„•Cabbage and carrots contain vitamin C and a variety of minerals, plus they feed the good bacteria your immune system runs on.

Here’s exactly how I make it:

2 packs chicken legs or thighs with skin (or a whole chicken)
4 whole cloves garlic
2 whole onions
2 whole carrots
½ head of cabbage
1 tbsp Himalayan salt
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar

Cover with water and either pressure cook in the Instant Pot for 30 minutes or simmer on the stovetop for 4–6 hours.

Remove the chicken, pull the meat off the bones, and strain out the vegetables. Now you have a rich broth you can add fresh veggies back into along with the shredded chicken.

That’s it. Healing, nourishing, and honestly one of the most powerful things you can do for your body when you’re not feeling well — or any time you want to support your gut.

I try to keep some frozen on hand all winter long.

Food is information. Every time you eat, you’re either supporting your body or working against it.

Nutrition isn’t just about restriction or eating less. It’s about nourishing your body on a cellular level šŸ’› 
That’s how we heal. That’s how we feel our best.

šŸ’šAs a functional medicine dietitian who specialize šŸ’šAs a functional medicine dietitian who specializes in helping women naturally get rid of weight & symptoms brought on by perimenopause, I’ve reviewed HUNDREDS of food logs from women who thought they were doing everything right but couldn’t lose weight.

šŸ‘‰šŸ»They all had the same things missing.

And it’s not what you’d expect.

Their food logs weren’t ā€œbadā€. 
They were actually really good...on the surface.
On paper, they were following everything that was supposed to work

Overnight oats. Greek yogurt. Lots of protein. More fiber. Tracking macros. Avoiding processed foods. 

By every standard definition, they were eating healthy.

But here’s what I saw every single time:

āŒ No sequencing or cohesion between meals
āŒ Foods that spike blood sugar disguised as ā€œhealth foodsā€
āŒ Constant stress on the insulin system
āŒ Missing the specific nutrients that support hormone balance and metabolism
āŒ Nothing targeting inflammation or gut function

They were focused on the right numbers.

Not the foods in the right balance.

And in perimenopause, that difference is everything.

Most women I see are unknowingly eating in a way that keeps inflammation elevated, disrupts gut function, and puts continuous stress on their insulin system.

Which means their body is stuck in a state where fat loss simply can’t happen, no matter how little they eat, how much they exercise or how consistent they are. 

āŒThe missing piece isn’t discipline or trying harder.
āœ…It’s moving through a metabolic healing phase first.

Reduce inflammation. Restore insulin sensitivity. 
Support gut function. Give your body the specific nutrients it needs to rebalance hormones.

Once that foundation is in place, your body actually starts working for you again.

Eating for weight loss in perimenopause isn’t just about doing all the tips & tricks from doctors & influencers online 

It’s following the nutrition & lifestyle system that actually moves the needle in YOUR body right now.

šŸ™ŒšŸ»That’s what we build inside The Perimenopause Dietā„¢ 12-Week Weight Loss & Metabolic Healing Program.

šŸ”„I’m a Registered Dietitian, I have a masters degr šŸ”„I’m a Registered Dietitian, I have a masters degree in nutrition & I specialize in functional medicine nutrition. I’ve worked with hundreds of women for almost 13 years.

OBs and PCPs send me their patients when they don’t know how to help them.

The nutrition & weight loss advice women are receiving from Doctors (even functional medicine doctors) before they get to me? It makes me sick.🤢 

šŸ’ŖšŸ»We talk so much about empowering women.

So why are we sitting across from our doctors and being told our bodies can’t do this without a drug?

Two of my clients this week. Same story (I know they are not alone).

šŸ‘‰šŸ»One is a few weeks in. Already down 5 lbs and 2 inches — after gaining 15 lbs she could not move despite tracking everything and working out every single day.

Her PCP told her she needed a GLP-1.
Her OB gave her two snarky options: take the drug or stay the way she was.

She said no to both. She found another way.

šŸ‘‰šŸ»The second is in week 12. Down 20 lbs. GERD gone. Migraines gone. Gained muscle while losing fat.

Her doctor looked at all of that and said... ā€œ you know you could lose weight faster on a GLP-1.ā€
😤😤😤

Didn’t acknowledge a single thing she’d accomplished.

This isn’t about shaming anyone’s choices.

It’s about NOT shaming women who refused to accept that their body isn’t capable and are committed to finding the right path.

If you don’t want to be on medication and you’re annoyed that is being presented as the ā€œonly optionā€ā€” you deserve to know there is another way.

Losing weight in perimenopause isn’t just about the number on the scale.

šŸ’šIt’s about rebuilding trust in yourself. Proving that your body can do hard things. That the habits you’re building are actually working. That you are not broken.

That doesn’t come from forcing pounds off. It comes from healing your metabolism, supporting your hormones & getting to the root of why your body is stuck.

šŸ™ŒšŸ»The right method changes everything.
That’s what we do inside The Perimenopause Diet.
