It’s not just “being busy”… it’s the kind of stress that has you running on coffee, skipping meals, wired at night and mind racing at bedtime but exhausted all day, snapping at your kids, craving sugar at 9pm, and wondering why your body won’t change even though you’re trying.

This is the stuff no one talks about with perimenopause.

Because when your body is under constant stress, it’s not focused on fat loss… it’s focused on survival, which is why that stubborn belly fat sticks around no matter how “healthy” you’re being.

It’s not a discipline problem. It’s a stress problem.

Comment “stress” 👇 and I’ll send you what habits actually helped me regulate my body and finally start seeing progress again.

Over the past four weeks, I have traveled from Maryland, through Texas, the Southwest, and California. My family is currently in Utah.

But I’m still focused on my health. My goal was to maintain my weight, while still enjoying food and not feeling restricted on our trip.

In case you are traveling soon - you’ll want to remember these tips:

1️⃣ I start most mornings with a protein shake. I would prefer a smoothie with fruit blended in but I totally forgot to pack my blender 🫣

👉 This is the quickest breakfast that gives me my protein, hydration, and nutrients

2️⃣ I still aim for protein at every meal. Nope, I’m not weighing out my food (pretty much ever). But I use my hand as a guide (one hand = about 6oz protein)

3️⃣ Lots of veggies. But truthfully, most restaurants have terrible veggie options because they add lots of oils for flavor.

👉 Aim for steamed veggies first (broccoli, squash/zucchini). At least one hands’ worth! If that’s not an option, add a side salad with a vinaigrette or oil/vinegar/lemon dressing.

4️⃣ Balance.

I aim for MOST of my meals to be balanced (the right amounts of protein, veggies, carbs, fats).

But I’m also traveling. It’s supposed to be fun!

Generally, I tell my clients to aim for 80% compliance. Truthfully, I’m probably closer to 70% right now. And that’s ok with me.

5️⃣ Catch all - I’m all trying to drink 3-4 liters of water a day. I’m hiking and biking daily, getting usually 15K steps. I’m sleeping as best I can on a thin RV mattress, at least 7-8 hours a night. And I’m taking my regular supplements, especially Omega 3’s to reduce my inflammation from non-home-cooked meals.

👉 Hydration, steps, supps, sleep

Ok shew 😅 that’s a LOT!

So saaaave this post for later. Go travel and explore the world. Enjoy it.

And if you need help with a strategy that will work for you, the accountability to keep you on plan, or the insight about what YOUR body needs to finally lose the belly fat and drop 10-20+ pounds in your late 30’s and 40’s - reach out. I can help you.

I hear it all the time.

Women are worried about committing to a program where they are told all they need to do it eat less and workout more.

But if you don’t take your all-or-nothing mindset into consideration and have a strategy that allows you to actually go out to dinner and enjoy a cocktail… then you are just one binge meal away from throwing all your progress out the window.

Let’s add a layer: most women I work with are nutritionally depleted. They aren’t even taking a multivitamin.

So it’s no wonder their adrenals are shot, their hormones are tanked, and their cortisol is through the roof.

You want to see results that last?

You need to look at the whole picture.
And that’s exactly what my coaching program includes.

If you’re gaining weight, exhausted all the time, and feel “off” in your body…

…but you’re TRYING… eating better, working out, taking supplements…

👉 This might not be your hormones. Aka perimenopause might be the ‘root cause’

This is something I see ALL the time:

Women doing everything right… and still stuck.

Needing caffeine just to function ☕
Weight not budging no matter how “clean” they eat
Brain fog, mood swings, low energy

And it’s frustrating as hell.

But here’s what most people are missing:

👉 It’s not just about what you’re doing…
👉 It’s also about what your body is overloaded with.

Toxins. Stress. Blood sugar swings. Poor recovery.

Over time, your system gets overwhelmed — and that impacts your metabolism, energy, and ability to lose weight.

So instead of guessing… I created a quick 3-minquiz to help you figure out what’s actually going on 👇

✨ Take the Toxicity Quiz here:

(Or comment QUIZ and I’ll send it right over)

It’ll tell you if you need:
• Small shifts
• Lifestyle changes
• Or a full system reset

Comment “QUIZ” below and I’ll send ya the link for IG friends.

Here to inspire you to become your best self.

The version of you that doesn’t hold back.
She jumps in head first without a second thought.
Who moves toward her dreams.

And can actually achieve them because she isn’t worried about how her clothes fit when she tries them on.

Who isn’t hiding behind others when she takes a picture.

Whose energy isn’t crashed and preventing her from even considering going on an adventure.

Whose hormones aren’t tanked where she has no drive to even experience new things or enjoy life.

When you figure out the right strategy (eating nourishing food, moving your body, and getting the right nutrients that heal you at the root)… it all clicks.

That version of you is possible.

I can help you find her🫶

Sometimes, all you need is a sign. A little nudge to make a change.

Hearing someone’s story can be that sign. But it could also be that you are tired of waking up and avoiding yourself in the mirror.

Or having to squeeze that pair of jeans on that was supposed to be for postpartum only… except now it’s the only pair of jeans that fits.

Or maybe you just lie in bed at night, mind racing, stress though the roof, worrying about everyone else like your kids and your husband and your job, and you put your own needs last but it’s catching up to you.

You have your own story. Your own struggles.

And that’s why you need a personalized plan.

Not everyone should start with the same strategy. Some of my clients simply start with walking, not strength training yet.

Some of my clients actually increase their calories and food intake in the beginning instead of eating less - and yep, they can still lose weight!!

And some of my clients start with lab testing so they can get results as quickly as possible because they are healing their body at the root cause.

What makes sense for YOU???

I can help you figure that out.

DM me the word “MAP” 👇 and I’ll help you map out your personalized next steps to see results by this summer.
