I grew up in the 80s and 90s.
Palermo’s extra-cheese pizza.
Tequila shots.
Tanning beds. 😅

1990-something me would’ve laughed at this.

Caring about REM sleep.
Thinking about hormones.
Paying attention to gut health and inflammation.
Using peptides so my body actually responds.

Back then, sleep was optional and my body handled it.
No vitamins.
No supplements.
No collagen.
Definitely no integrative health practitioner.

Now? Midlife requires intention ~ not punishment.
Different body.
Different rules.

👇🏻 Comment “ME” if you lived this era.
👇🏻 Or tell me what was YOUR “Palermo’s”?

Still carrying lower belly fat in perimenopause ~ especially around your hips and midsection?

Let me be honest with you, friend.
The old rules don’t work anymore.

If you’re in peri/menopause and still:

• Cutting carbs
• Skipping breakfast and running on coffee
• Eating 1,200 calories while crushing cardio

You’re not in fat-burning mode.
You’re in hormone + stress survival mode.

Years of dieting, overtraining, poor sleep, and chronic stress quietly shift your physiology.
Cortisol rises.
Inflammation creeps in.
Gut health takes a hit.
Hormones lose their rhythm.
And weight loss feels impossible ~ even when you’re doing “everything right.”

Then comes the advice:
“Just eat less.”
“Try fasting.”
“You’re too young for hormone changes.”

Hard no.

Perimenopause is a real metabolic shift. Your body needs a holistic plan that supports hormones, blood sugar, nervous system regulation, and recovery ~ not more punishment.

When I stopped fighting my body and started supporting it with proper nutrition, smarter fitness, foundational supplements, targeted vitamins, m1crodosing and real self care… everything changed.

Energy came back.
Sleep improved.
My hormones stabilized.
And yes ~ the belly fat finally started to release.

This isn’t about restriction.
It’s about rebuilding trust with your body and giving it what it actually needs to feel safe again.

Comment “RESET” and I’ll send you the exact hormone-supportive shifts I start with as a health coach ~ the ones that make weight loss feel possible again without burnout.

You’re not broken.
You’re in a new season ~ and your strategy needs to match it.

12/20/2025

Let’s clear something up ~ fast.

Insulin is the fat storage hormone.
Cortisol is the stress hormone that tells your body to hold onto belly fat for dear life.

So if you’re doing everything right ~ dialing in fitness, eating “clean,” prioritizing sleep, loading up on vitamins, supplements, collagen, herbal tea, and self care ~
but your waistline won’t budge?

That’s not a motivation problem.
That’s hormone signaling.

This is where m1crodosing comes in ~ not as a shortcut, not as a crutch ~ but as a precision tool to calm inflammation, stabilize insulin, quiet food noise, and take pressure off a nervous system that’s been stuck in survival mode for years.

When insulin and cortisol finally get the memo?
Your gut health improves.
Your metabolism wakes up.
Weight loss feels… doable again.

Holistic health still matters.
Foundations still matter.
But sometimes your body needs a nudge so the work you’re already doing can finally land.

And yes ~ those jeans?
They’re about to make a comeback.

💬 DM me “MICRO” if you want to understand how I use m1crodosing inside a true holistic health framework ~ safely, strategically, and without blowing up your hormones or your faith in your body.

Here’s the truth:
Most women aren’t broken.
They’re under-tested, over-stressed, and told their symptoms are “normal.”

and done cycling supplements and vitamins with no change…
