For years I thought: "Just fix my thyroid and I'll lose weight."

Wrong.

My thyroid wasn't the root problem.
My CORTISOL was throwing everything else off.

The cascade I didn't understand:
→ High cortisol blocks insulin (belly fat)
→ High cortisol blocks progesterone (anxiety, mood swings)
→ High cortisol pushes down estrogen (hot flashes, brain fog)
→ High cortisol slows thyroid (weight gain, hair loss)

I was treating symptoms. Not the cause.

When I finally addressed cortisol FIRST?
The thyroid started working.
The mood swings stopped.
The weight came off.

One hormone out of balance throws EVERYTHING off.

If you've tried fixing one hormone without results...

I used to think productive mornings meant:

Hour long gym sessions every day ✓
Skipping breakfast to "save calories" ✓
Exhausted by 10am ✓

Productive? Maybe.
Sustainable? No.
Effective for weight loss? Absolutely not.

My body was in constant stress mode.

Now my mornings look completely different:

15-min workout 3 x a week (yes, just 15 minutes)
Yin yoga or breathwork
Nourishing breakfast
Energised ALL day

Same goals. Different approach. Actually works.

The mistake? Thinking I had to earn my rest.

Rest isn't lazy. Rest is where fat burning happens.

If your mornings feel like a battle you're losing...

My old morning routine:
9:00 am alarm
60min BOOT camp/ Strength class
Shower, coffee, crash by noon

Exhausted
Injured.
Not working.

At 41, I tested something that felt ridiculous:

15 minutes of light resistance - high intensity
Right after waking
Before coffee

The next day....
Sun salutations.
Cat-cow stretches.
Nothing intense.

What happened?
• Energy stayed stable all day
• Pain and mobility normalized
• Lost 5kg in 6 weeks
• Actually looked forward to mornings

The goal isn't to "smash ourselves"
It's to work with your metabolism the right way.

At 40+, your hormones respond better to invitation than force.

The 7-Day Metabolic Breakthrough shows you exactly how to structure your mornings.

Ten years ago when my weight gain started, my default was: eat less.

I was already eating “healthy.” Just like most of my clients are.

But we do a few things that really don’t give us life back at all. They backfire.

Thing 1: We under-eat because we think less calories = more weight loss.
But here’s the twist - when your metabolism is slow, you don’t even FEEL hungry much. So you eat even less. Metabolism slows more. Vicious cycle.

Thing 2: We over-eat carb macros.
Most “healthy foods” are high carbs. Which spike insulin. When your hormones are changing, you can’t handle carbs like you used to. Result? More weight around the middle.

Thing 3: But we also can’t go too low in carbs.
I know. Keto backfires too.

So what do we do?
The Goldilocks Zone. This is how I eat nowadays- these are some of my recipes I create for you.

Focus is on fats and proteins with moderate carbs in a target zone.
Not too much. Not too little. Just right.

This is Step 2 of my MAGIC methodology.
But you need Step 1 first.

Step 1 is FREE - my 7-day program (coming soon) - all about how to exercise right and incorporate rest-based approaches to weight loss.

Once you understand Step 1, Step 2 (the Goldilocks way of eating) will make perfect sense.

Message me FOOD and I’ll make sure you’re first to know when it drops.

I lost weight by injuring myself lifting heavy.
Sounds backwards, right?

I was lifting heavy like the fitness industry told me.

Then I got injured.

No choice but to go back to basics.
No weights. Just me and my body.
And that’s when everything changed.

Moving my hips in all directions.
Getting up and down from the floor.
Dynamic core work through MOVEMENT.
The weight finally came off.
My core got stronger.
And I stopped getting injured.

That was 10 years ago and now I’ve helped hundreds also lose weight over 40:

You don’t need heavy weights.
You need multi-dimensional movement.
Rotate. Hinge. Stabilize.

Dynamic resistance that builds hip mobility, core strength, and bodyweight control?
THAT changes your body at 40+.
15-20 minutes. Bodyweight and light hand weights.
No gym.

My free 7-day Breakthrough launches January 4th.
Comment CORE and I’ll send you first access.

You were told a lie.
You don’t need a gym. You don’t need to lift heavy.

You need 15-20 minutes, a mat, and movement that actually works WITH your hormones, not against them
The fitness industry complicates it on purpose. But your metabolism responds to strategic rest-based training - not exhaustion.

This is why my women keep their routine going even on holidays. No gym required.

Just you + your device + results. 🏠✨

While everyone’s chasing New Year’s resolutions with punishing workout regimes, I’m out here prescribing something your body actually craves…

Salt air. Sunshine. Movement that feels like play.
Your metabolic health isn’t built in a gym grinding yourself into the ground. It’s built in moments like these—where your nervous system gets to downregulate, your cortisol drops, and your body remembers what it feels like to move WITH joy instead of FROM obligation.

This is what metabolic freedom looks like for women over 40. Not suffering. Not restriction. Just your body doing what it does best when you give it what it needs.
