Weight loss in menopause needs a different approach
Weight loss in menopause is multifaceted. We can’t rely on the old adage of “eat less, exercise more”.
In fact, that does not work and it actually does the opposite! So bye bye with starving yourself and exercising more. By the way, 99.999% of studies around exercise are based on young male physiology and menopausal women are a different species altogether than a 20 year old male.
Get the picture?
It is not about starving yourself and running til you drop. It’s not about counting calories and restrictions.
Let’s focus on bringing joy into your life. Nourish your body. Take luxurious care of yourself and put yourself first.
Sounds amazing, right!!
Is this you?
You can’t stop thinking of your weight gain.
You are frustrated that none of your clothes fit and you really don’t want to buy a whole new wardrobe.
You are disappointed in yourself.
You feel lazy, stupid, out of control.
You feel like you’ve done it all wrong and it’s all your fault that you’ve gained weight in menopause.
You feel you need to eat less and exercise more, but you don’t, so you berate yourself and feel bad.
You are not alone
Research suggests that over 80% of women in their transition to menopause gain weight.
Most of that weight is around the middle.
I’ve been there
It felt like I gained 15-20lbs overnight. I went to put on my fav jeans that were the most comfortable pair of jeans, ever. And guess what? They wouldn’t fit. Not only that, but I could hardly zip up the zipper and the amount of belly fat that was creeping over the top was more than terrifying. I had no idea this was even possible.
The solution
That was when I knew I had to find some answers. I dug deep into researching how weight gain happens in menopause and then put what I knew to the test. I was very motivated to improve my health.
You see, weight gain around the middle is a cause of inflammation in the body and this increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke risk, heart attack risk, dementia and Alzheimers, to name a few.
That’s why I designed a program to give you the same type of support and lead you through a process that has helped me lose the menopause weight.
Work with me
The steps are manageable and my focus is on nourishing and replenishing.
I like to focus on pleasure, not on restrictions.
It is not about starving yourself on some crazy, low cal diet.
It is about discovering why you are gaining weight and making changes that keep the weight off and help optimize your health in your 40’s, 50’s and beyond.
It goes far beyond weight loss.
The program helps improve cardiovascular health, bone health (to help prevent osteoporosis), gut health, liver health, brain health and sexual health.
A lot of women are really struggling with weight gain in menopause and it has a huge impact on their life.
It is a red flag that needs to be addressed.
Imagine…
Feeling more confident
Having more energy
Eating food without stressing about calories
Focusing on pleasure and not restrictions
Being able to fit into your clothes without having to buy a new wardrobe
Developing a loving relationship with your body
This is designed for you
This program is different because it’s designed to fix the underlying cause BEHIND your weight gain.
You start to feel more healthy and therefore want to make healthier choices because you feel so good.
I can tell you that my study and research has helped me in my journey with menopausal weight.
I have been able to lose the majority of the menopausal weight and now I can fit into my all time favorite pair of jeans.
That is cause for a celebration… and it just keeps getting better.
It is possible to lose the menopausal weight when you have the knowledge, support, and accountability to move you towards your goals.
Put yourself first. You are so worth it.
Meet Sarah
Hello and Welcome! I’m Sarah.
If you’re struggling with losing stubborn menopause weight, you’re in the right place. I’m so glad that you’re here.
My experience with gaining weight in my 50’s was so frustrating. Everything I used in my 20’s and 30’s for keeping my weight within normal range failed miserably.
I felt frustrated by lack of information out there and felt resigned to weight gain.
Sound familiar? I totally understand what you are going through.
A few years ago, I got a call from the doctor.
She had concerns that I was pre-diabetic because my blood sugars were high. I wasn’t quite sure what had led up to this point as I ate healthy and led an active life.
The red flag was the 15-20 lbs of weight I had gained since becoming postmenopausal.
I know you can relate, I’m here to help you.
Let’s go back to October, 2003. I was in Spain, at the beginning of a 1000km walk called The Camino Santiago. It seemed like I would never get to my destination. Remember the old Chinese proverb, “A journey of 1000 miles begins with a single step”? That’s what inspired me, so I set one foot in front of the other and made it to my destination 34 days later.
It felt like a miracle.
I bet you’re wondering why I started my business…..
Fast forward 20 years. I found myself struggling with something that many women in menopause can relate to. Yup, menopausal weight gain. The meno belly.
My doctor told me that weight gain in menopause was “normal”. Maybe so, but I didn’t understand why I had gained 15-20 lbs that seemed to happen overnight. This led me on a deep dive to find answers.
As a Holistic Nutritionist and Menopause Health Coach, I researched what was going on in my body. I realized losing weight in menopause was not about eating less and exercising more.
When I put all the information I had gathered into action, surprise surprise, it worked. I lost all the excess weight, and now I get to share the answers with you.
The path to weight loss in midlife feels huge. I know, I’ve been there. Something akin to walking 1000miles. When you get back to your normal weight, it will feel miraculous.
If you’ve tried to lose menopause weight before and it hasn’t worked, stick around. This time I’ve got your back.
It’s tough doing this on your own. This is why I am passionate to share my knowledge and tools with you.
Let’s do this together.You won’t be alone.
Join me as we navigate through this aspect of menopause.
You can lose the menopause weight, look and feel like a million bucks and feel like yourself again.
Yours in Health,
Sarah
