Understand the 4 Roles of Your Metabolism - You think itâs just in charge of weight loss but it has 3 other roles outside of that, and the more you obsess about weight loss without understanding the other 3, your body will store fat instead of burning it. Itâs literally the way your body was wired to protect you. Weâre breaking the 4 roles down for FREE here if you want to learn how they work.
Fuel Instead of Starve - Diet culture taught you to eat as little as possible, but in midlife, your metabolism is begging you to fuel it not starve it. If eating 1200 calories drops the first 5 pounds and then your scale is frozen, thatâs your metabolism saying it needs more fuel not less.
Add vs. Subtract - Wait, a health coach is telling you not to remove anything from your diet? Listen, I know this isnât your first attempt at weight lossâyouâve done it more times than you can count. And every diet gives you a new âthis food is the root of all evilâ rule. And youâre doing these things because you WANT to be healthy, but all those rules are actually disordered thinking about food wrapped up and sold to you as healthy.
Two things happen when you restrictâŠ
Instead, focus on adding in more of the good-for-you things FIRST (see #4) and leave room for the wine, the cookie, the foods that bring you joy!
Balance the hormones that ACTUALLY control exhaustion vs energy. This isnât just about weight lossâyouâre so tired of being tired. Exhaustion isnât just because of your crazy schedule. In midlife, your hormones are running the energy show. Supporting them doesnât mean going on HRTâthe food you eat (and #5) play a HUGE role in whether you have the energy after you shut your laptop at 5 pm to actually enjoy the life youâre working so hard to build.
Get a baseline for where youâre actually starting from. We hear ALL. THE. TIME. Iâm eating healthy but nothing is working. With so much love, eating healthy isnât a strategy because it means something DIFFERENT to every person. You need to understand what youâre actually consuming. 50% of the women we work with arenât eating enough, but they donât realize it because they have zero data!
Itâs not about judgement and restrictionâitâs about data and data ultimately gives you FREEDOM.
Tracking is a TOOL to understand whatâs actually happeningâyou donât need to track until youâre 80 to keep your results. But the fastest, most accurate way to understand the state of your metabolism and what it needs to thrive is tracking. Hard stop.
We know it can seem like there are so many different health things out there and recommendations for everyone, but if you really, truly want to lose weight without panicking about the bun on your burger or the glass of wine, these are the core things that you need to be focused on.
If you lose weight but have a terrible relationship with foodâthatâs just disordered eating wrapped in a different package and I know thatâs not actually what you want.
Listen, you can actually lose weight in midlife, in your 40s, 50s, yes in perimenopause, without food noise which I know youâre exhausted of whether you realize it or not. Food noise is EVERY belief you have about food that youâve learned since the moment you saw your mom go on a diet or you went on your first one.
Food freedom is learning that there is literally room for all foods ONCE you rebuild and support the system running the whole show, your metabolism.
