Here’s the exact blueprint I’d use if I woke up tomorrow and had to lose 100lbs all over again 👆🏻

Losing weight is simple, but most women dive in with an all or nothing mindset - more restriction, intensity and willpower will do the trick, right?

Wrong ❌ you need a repeatable structure that works for you life, and that’s the unsexy truth

- a moderate calorie deficit
- a protein target
- a way to manage your stress so you stop falling off every time you get overwhelmed
- and the mentality that you’re in it for the long haul

And if you want to skip the guesswork, I can plan it all for you so you can just show up and do it.

Food sensitivity tests are causing unwanted stress and fear around food for busy women who just want answers about their symptoms.

Most of these tests measure antibodies, not intolerance. Antibodies mean exposure, not harm - If you eat a food often, your immune system recognizes it. That’s normal biology, not a sign you’re intolerant.

Then people get a printout with 20–40 foods highlighted in red and yellow, and they cut all of them out at once.

And you can now only eat “vegetables and froots”

And maybe digestion feels better for a few weeks, and they assume the test was “right., but that improvement is called a confound.

When you remove dozens of foods at the same time, you also remove:
• overall food volume
• ultra-processed foods
• overeating
• decision fatigue
• digestive workload
• anxiety around meals

Of course symptoms improve. But that doesn’t tell you which food mattered, or if food was the problem at all.

What actually happens next:
• fear around food increases because you can’t have anything on your list
• variety drops and eating becomes restrictive
• social eating becomes stressful
• gut tolerance decreases
• stress goes up
• symptoms eventually return, often worse

And the real problem gets missed: it isn’t your food intolerance, it’s your dysregulation.

A nervous system stuck in fight or flight often results in eating too fast and on the go, inconsistent meals and high cortisol alters digestion negatively.

Real answers don’t come from cutting everything out.

They come from:
• stabilizing eating patterns
• eating enough, consistently
• reducing nervous system load
• rebuilding gut tolerance gradually
• using structured, single-variable eliminations ONLY when clinically indicated
• ruling out true conditions with proper medical testing from an allergist, not antibody panels

Most of the time, the issue isn’t what you’re eating. It’s the physiological state you’re eating in.

Solve for nervous system dysregulation, and your symptoms will improve without cutting out any foods.

You’re stuck between “I don’t want GLP-1s” and “why is this so hard for me.”

You’ve been fighting your body for years. Diet to diet, white-knuckling hunger, feeling like you’re always one bad day away from unraveling.

Now you’re watching friends shrink effortlessly on injections. And even if part of you is curious, another part of you knows that path doesn’t feel right for you.

So it feels like you have two options: Keep struggling the hard way, or take the “easy” way that doesn’t actually fix anything underneath.

But that’s not the way it has to be.

The real problem isn’t your willpower or that your body is broken. The diets you’ve done in the past aren’t designed to work for women with chronic stress and overload.

That’s where the Resilient Body Blueprint is different.

RBB doesn’t start with restriction. It starts with stabilization. You stop fighting hunger by feeding yourself properly.

You stop losing control at night by regulating stress during the day, and you stop chasing motivation and build systems your nervous system can actually sustain.

This is not a 1200-calorie reset.

It’s a root-cause approach that rebuilds trust between you and your body so fat loss becomes automatic instead of a struggle.

If you’re done choosing between suffering and shortcuts, this isn’t just the third option, it’s the solution.

This is for the woman who wants her confidence back without breaking herself to get it.

6, 8 and 12 month plans sound like a big commitment, it’s hard to think that far ahead with certainty. Visualizing the future longer than a week or two ahead is a relatively new concept for human beings.

So I’ll invite you to look backwards instead.

How long have you committed to trying diet plans, new weight loss strategies, starting a new fitness routine, buying new supplements, saving new recipes, restricting your food, feeling bad about what you eat, thinking about how fit you used to be, and feeling uncomfortable in your body?

Probably a lot longer than 6, 8 or 12 months.

And that kind of conditioning to feel bad about food, feel confused which direction to take, feeling shame about your failures to commit, and feeling insecure in your body took a long time to build, it won’t go away in 8 weeks.

If you want to get off of the diet hamster wheel and actually reach your goals, you have to become that person who commits to investing in herself long term.

It has to become who you are, not just what you’re doing right now.

And building those new identities and habits can take a long time - because the old ones took a long time to learn and master.

My programs are a minimum 16 weeks, because I design them to help women build long term, lasting change so they don’t need external accountability any more and they can stop starting over.

This is not a plan, it’s a solution for the root cause of:

- inconsistency and insecurity around their bodies and their food.

- cravings and food noise that lead to binges

- the constant shame that women feel around their capabilities and choices

- the exhaustion, inflammation and overwhelm women feel on a daily basis that hinders fat loss

- the hopelessness most women feel when they think about the future of their health.

Instead of committing to another diet plan that just scratches the surface, commit to becoming a woman who doesn’t need one anymore.

Solve for the root.

Most women blame themselves and their lack of willpower or discipline, completely confused as to why they go home after work and order takeout or binge on food they barely like every night

So you might lay awake at night after a binge and think, I was doing so well today - why can’t I stick to this? What’s wrong with me?

There’s nothing wrong with you - it’s simple physiology.

Most women are chronically stressed and white-knuckling their days. Making constant decisions, leading teams, running kids around, worrying about their families and their homes, and trying to fit themselves in once in a while.

All of this chronic stress dumps glucocorticoids (cortisol) into your brain and body, and it majorly affects the part of your brain that is responsible for making decisions, logic and rationality.

And when that part of your brain is affected, you default to takeout and binging for quick relief from stress. The shame and blame that follows increases that stress response, and the cycle begins again.

You don’t actually have much control over what happens once that bridge has been crossed - so you can stop blaming yourself, because it’s not willpower or discipline that’s the issue, it’s your stress.

But it is your responsibility, if you want to stay consistent, to start to address the root cause of your white-knuckling. Busy does not = chaos and stress.

You can completely eliminate your binges and cravings by focusing on 3 simple things:

- nervous system regulation (stress management)
- planning your life ahead of time when you’re regulated so everything runs automatically (environmental design)
- the way you talk to yourself about your stress and your body (identity)

Once you solve for the root, binges stop, inflammation drops, sleep increases, food choices become consistent, mental clarity comes back, and reaching your goals becomes automatic.

If restriction and blame worked to hit your goals, you’d be there by now. It’s time to solve for the root cause, and it’s not you.

She lost 20 lbs in 8 weeks + an additional 10 all on her own.

With shift work, two busy boys and without any restriction.

Here’s how we actually did it:

We didn’t start by cutting more food or pushing harder workouts, we started by stabilizing her system.

- Flexible meal frameworks instead of rigid rules
Her former mindset around food was “good vs bad” and she would meal prep nothing but chicken and rice for the week and then binge on the weekends. Meals were built to work in real life, nothing off-limits but everything in moderation, slowly building that self-trust around food and the all or nothing mindset.

Mindset work around food, not food fear:
She went from restriction and anxiety around treats (carbs and sugar especially) to eating ice cream with her kids — calmly, choosing confidently, without guilt — while still losing weight.

• Short, effective workouts
No crazy intense workouts or hours of cardio, Just enough stimulus to support fat loss and confidence without draining her or cramping her schedule.

• Sleep and meal structure despite shift work
Not perfection, just intentional meal planning so she didn’t have to make constant decisions throughout the week while she was tired, and so she could prioritize getting proper rest to support her hormones and fat loss.

The result wasn’t just weight loss.

She feels as confident in her body as she did pre-baby, and more confident than she’s ever been around food and her health.

This is what happens when fat loss is built on regulation, structure, and trust - not rules and restriction.

Temporary effort didn’t create this, a sustainable system that she can now repeat forever did.

This was also in 2024 - and she’s been able to maintain her success since.

It’s time to stop looking for new diets and commit to becoming someone who doesn’t need them.

Women 35+ can be doing everything right and still feel inflamed, exhausted and like their body is fighting against them - but it’s not their fault.

It is because most fat loss plans don’t take their stress load into account, and unchecked stress and nervous system dysregulation wreaks havoc on the body. And a body in perimenopause is especially sensitive to this.

Here’s how chronic stress affects a perimenopausal body:

1. Estrogen + progesterone helps regulate your nervous system, with fluctuations, stress feels way harder to handle

2. Chronic stress keeps cortisol high, and chronically high cortisol disrupts other hormones, sleep and worsens anxiety and drives belly fat storage.

3. Severe calorie restriction, low carbs and skipping meals puts the body in a stress response, increasing hunger signals and reducing energy expenditure causing fatigue

4. Blood sugar swings can mimic hormone dysregulation - high stress and irregular eating/sleeping cause symptoms similar to dysregulated estrogen and can make it worse

5. Improper training and overtraining increases stress and further disrupts hormones

6. Stress reduces deep sleep and increases nighttime awakenings. Poor sleep then raises cortisol the next day. This loop worsens hot flashes, appetite control, and fatigue

7. Constant fight or flight decreases digestion, increases BP and disrupts sleep, further impacting hormones

8. Chronic stress increases inflammation system wide, causing bloating, joint pain, water retention, brain fog, etc

9. Stress reduces executive function of the brain, making you more reactive, moody, and unable to plan and keep up with life

10. Pushing harder in workouts and calorie deficits increases the issue further.

Perimenopause doesn’t create the problem, it reveals a nervous system that’s been running too hard for too long. And traditional diets don’t solve for the nervous system dysfunction most women are facing.

When stress physiology is addressed, symptoms often improve and fat loss becomes possible again.

High-performing successful women 35+ fail their diets by midweek because they rely on their willpower to out perform a stressful week.

But stress will kill willpower and motivation every single time by affecting the part of the brain that is responsible for control and decision making.

If you want to be someone who stays consistent and doesn’t spiral into ravenous cravings and the “f**k-its” by Wednesday, here are five things you need to do to actually keep promises to yourself.

1. Plan high-protein breakfasts
Starting your day on caffeine alone destabilizes blood sugar and guarantees cravings and energy crashes. Protein keeps you full and supports clear decision-making. This is non-negotiable.

2. Plan dinners and grocery shop once
This removes decision fatigue and mental clutter. It also saves money when you’re tired and tempted to panic-order fast food because nothing is decided.

3. Protect your sleep aggressively
Create a wind-down routine that starts 30 minutes before bed. Consistent sleep leads to more stable hormones, better appetite control, and higher stress tolerance. Be ruthless here.

4. Schedule workouts like appointments
Decide exactly when they happen. Lay your clothes out the night before. Visualize what could derail you and set a backup plan. Consistency comes from preparation, not motivation.

5. Choose a regulation tool for when stress hits
Most women quit when things get hard because they think they’re failing. They’re not. Their nervous system is in fight-or-flight.
Pick a default response in advance: a short walk, a deep breath every hour, a protein-forward snack.
Decide now: “When I get stressed, I will ____.”

Consistent women don’t rely on willpower.
They plan, reduce friction, and regulate their nervous systems before things go sideways.

Don’t hope for success this week, guarantee it.

Most high-achieving women 35+ don’t struggle with their fat loss because of willpower or capability.

Have you ever wondered why you are successful and in control in other parts of life, but can’t seem to stay consistent with your health and fitness goals?

Successful, capable women fail because chronic stress keeps the nervous system overloaded, appetite unstable, cravings elevated, and turns decision-making offline.

Your struggles are not your fault, the plans set you up to fail.

Because traditional plans only treat the symptoms of overload and burnout - they never fix the system that drives them.

This leaves women in a negative feedback loop of diets - restriction - failure - shame - repeat.

And after years of coaching hundreds of women and learning more about the brain and behaviour, the pattern became clear.

This is why I built the Resilient Body Blueprint

A regulation-first 1:1 approach for high-achieving but overloaded women 35+ who want fat loss to finally feel doable and a schedule they feel in control over.

If you’re sick of the same diet cycle that has kept you stuck and frustrated for years and finally want to feel comfortable in and in control of your body and health

Follow for more stress resilient fat loss tips for busy women 35+.

This one question will reveal whether or not a fat loss plan will be successful or fail you 👇🏻

What happens the moment you feel overwhelmed?

If the answer is “fall apart” “I start over” or “I fall off”

The success rate of that plan is going to be low. And these women will continue a cycle of dieting and frustration on and off for years.

Traditional diet plans don’t work for modern women. They’re not designed to handle the chronic stress and overload most women face daily.

And it’s not women’s fault they can’t be consistent - they have no support for a brain that’s exhausted, overloaded and struggling to make more decisions for everyone else.

If your diet has you still binging in the evenings, falling apart on the weekends, and starting over every Monday - it doesn’t pass the stress test.

So unless you want to guarantee you’ll be in the exact same position you are now in 12 months, you have to do something different.

DM me if you’re ready to become resilient to stress and finally be successful in your health goals this year.

It’s not your fault if you can’t seem to stick to a plan, because we’re more chronically stressed and overstimulated than ever.

And this chronic stress affects the part of the brain that is responsible for follow through and making decisions

So you end up thinking a lot about what you “should” be doing, but you never follow through. You battle cravings constantly and feel fatigued most of the time, and end up beating yourself up for your “failures”.

If our environment and our identity doesn’t match what we want to achieve, it makes it almost impossible to be consistent

It is, however, your responsibility to:

- look for new ways to change your environment to help support your goals and target lifestyle

- start working on your identity around your behaviour and slowly build up your self trust with small, simple habits that you increase over time

- stop listening to people who tell you it’s your fault and to just “make better decisions”

There is a way to successfully stick to your goals this year, but it doesn’t involve another 8-12 week plan that isn’t designed for the modern woman.

So let’s do something different.
