✨ Understanding Midlife Weight Changes: A Practical Webinar for Women 40+

I’m excited to share that I’ll be a guest speaker at an upcoming webinar by on 4 December, where we’ll be diving into one of the most common (and most frustrating) challenges women face in midlife: unexpected weight changes, bloating, and feeling “heavy” in your own body.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, uncomfortable, or confused about what your body is doing lately — you are far from alone.
And you don’t need another restrictive plan or “push harder” advice. You need clarity, compassion, and the right tools.

During this session, we’ll explore:
✔️ What really drives midlife weight changes (it’s not just calories in/calories out)
✔️ Practical, science-based steps you can begin using immediately
✔️ How mindset and emotional wellbeing shape our ability to create sustainable change
✔️ Gentle guidance to help you feel lighter — in body and mind

📅 Date: 4 December
🕕 Time: 18:00 SAST
💰 Cost: R149 / ₪29
🎟 Register here: https://forms.gle/1tLNonq6X3rCejPJ9

If you’re navigating perimenopause or menopause and want a clearer path forward, I’d love for you to join us.

Let’s rethink midlife weight — with knowledge, compassion, and support.

Shana tova uMetukah.

May it be a good and sweet year.
A year of healing
A year of nourishment
A year of appreciation for your body and all that it does for you
A year of tuning in and listening to what your body needs
A year of breaking old patterns that no longer serve you.
A year of forming positive habits that are sustainable

You’ve heard the hype about GLP-1 medications—Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro.
But what’s really going on beneath the surface?

As a clinical dietitian, I’ve worked with many women who are using these medications - and here’s what I want you to know:

✅ They can support real, life-changing results
❌ But they’re not a magic fix
✅ You still need proper nutrition, mindset work, and long-term planning

In my latest blog, I dive into when GLP-1s are warranted, how they work, and how I help clients use them safely, mindfully, and effectively.

💬 Let me know—have you considered or used one of these medications? What was your experience?

Yesterday I watched the unleashed movie. It had a profound impact on me.

One of the many things I wrote down from what he shared was how important it is to focus on progress.

Yes it's important to have goals.
But we become who we are on the journey to that goal.

One of my main mantras with my clients is to focus on progress and not perfection and I felt so validated hearing this from him.

He said measuring progress is what brings happiness.

So my message today is to suggest that you set aside disappointment on not yet reaching goals you may want to achieve and rather take time to acknowledge the steps you are taking along the way.

If you would like guidance and support in implementing tools that will help you to make positive lifestyle changes then I would be honored to be the person to work with you.

I see you.....

The woman with her face in her hands, her brain analysing and planning.

It's the post-chag show-down where you feel bad for how you lost control with food and what you ate.

It's the calculations on how to eat less and exercise harder to lose the extra weight that is now sitting on top of the weight you already didn't love.

Can I stop you right there!!!

First of all, you are not alone.

That post-yom tov slump is so normal—and it doesn’t mean you’ve failed or need to punish yourself by “eating less” to make up for it.

Instead, take a deep breath.

Come back to the basics: nourishing meals, staying hydrated, moving your body, and offering yourself some kindness. Small, consistent steps are what really make the difference.

Many of my clients who had already built these habits went into Pesach feeling calm and in control—and they’re now easing back into routine without the guilt or overwhelm.

You can feel that way too.

Head to my latest blog to learn gentle, doable ways to reset your body and mind with care.

P.S. If you had an awesome Chag and were proud of the food choices you made and the habits you implemented, please share them in the comments!

🌸 **Feeling Pesach creeping up & already feeling the overwhelm?** 🌸

Let’s be real…

As women over 40, this time of year can feel like A LOT.

🧽 Cleaning
🛒 Shopping
🍲 Cooking
🗓 Organizing
…on top of everything else you already manage.

But here’s your reminder:
Pesach isn’t just about getting it all done.

✨ It’s an invitation to slow down.
✨ To clear space—not just in your home, but in *yourself*.
✨ To ask: *What will actually bring ME joy this Chag?*

This year, I’m encouraging you to:
✔ Pace yourself
✔ Simplify where you can
✔ Say yes to help
✔ Nourish your body
✔ Prioritize calm & connection, not just the to-do list

🌼 Your health and your well-being matter. It’s what will help you show up fully for the people you love (without burning out). 🌼

🎥 I also recorded a beautiful conversation with Dr. Barbara Schwarck Clear Intentions International on **how to reduce Pesach stress and anxiety**—and still stay aligned with your wellness goals.

💌 Plus, I’ll be sharing simple, nourishing Pesach food ideas in my newsletter—designed to support your hormones and keep your blood sugars balanced (without overcomplicating things). If you want access to these sign up for it on my website www.justinefriedman.com.

✨ Let’s make this Pesach enjoyable, calm, and nourishing—for YOU too. ✨

Purim is a time of joy, celebration, and unmasking—both in spirit and in how we care for ourselves. Just as Queen Esther found the courage to reveal her true identity, we, too, can listen to our bodies and honor what they truly need.

As our hormones shift, so do our energy levels, cravings, and nutritional needs. Instead of forcing ourselves into restrictive diets, let’s focus on nourishing foods that support our well-being.

When preparing mishloach manot, consider adding thoughtful treats like:
🍫 Dark chocolate (70%+ cocoa)
🥜 Dried fruit & nuts
🥑 Hummus, tahini, or olives
🍿 Lightly seasoned popcorn
🥯 Baked pretzels

This Purim, let’s embrace our bodies with love and care—because true health is about listening to what we need at every stage of life.

💬 What are your favorite nutritious Purim treats? Share below! ⬇️

This client testimonial made me jump for joy!

She came to me frustrated with weight gain and unable to fit into clothes that she loved. Now those clothes are too big!

My approach is practical and adapted to your lifestyle. You will not feel like you are on a diet, rather you will learn how to eat in a way that nourishes your unique body, still including foods that you enjoy.

Have you found a way to combat and weight gain? Let me know in the comments what is working for you...and what was unhelpful.

Reach out to see if working with me would be a good fit and take a look at my website for more information and to access free content

Yay!!!
My article on conquering emotional eating after 35 is featured in the new Uplift Magazine (Thanks Chani Schreibhand!)

I feel so passionately about supporting women who struggle with this. So much so, that it is now an entire module in my next course of Thriving Through Change".

See ladies, having motivation or willpower is not what you need to overcome this. What is crucial is understanding the role that hormones, stress, triggers, and unbalanced eating play.

Once you have this knowledge and you learn the essential skills needed to nourish your body, honor your feelings, and support your hormones, then cravings and emotional eating naturally reduce.

This is all included in my 6-week online group course.

Take advantage of the early bird special until February 18th.
