Today we shift focus onto how I have been dealing with menopause during prep for a show.

In short, it has not been going to plan and that is what we chat about today and how I have had to shift my mental focus, put more focus on sleep and stress management while looking into the possible use of HRT (hormone replacement therapy).

This is part 1 of 2, maybe 3 depending on what is decided with HRT and how I continue to navigate what I have learned to be weight loss resistance.

If you are in the flux of peri-menopause and menopause I would love to hear your stories on what has changed for you, how you are handling the changes and what has worked and not worked for you.

You can reach out to me on my socials below so we can continue to help and support each other.

Being online coaches and have worked with 100's of clients both in person and online, we have seen and heard clients claim to be in a deficit when that is not always the case.

There are so many things to consider when deciding to go into a calorie deficit for fat loss and what a lot of clients don't know or realize is how much more precise you need to be with your food, rest, training and overall recovery.

It is not just about cutting back on overall calories, it is about being strategic so that you keep the muscle and lose the fat.

Lets us know what resonated with you the most in this episode or if there is a fat loss hack that worked for you that we did not mention.

We love to hear from you, and as coaches we are here to help, all you have to do is ask.

Is the first thought that comes to mind when you have hit a plateau is to do more cardio??

We are not anti-cardio, we need cardio for overhead heart health and endurance, but when it gets to be excessive and you are spending an hour+ running or on a cardio machine you are only telling your body to become more efficient and to pare down muscle making it even harder to lose the weight.

We love having our clients get outside for walks for sunshine, and fresh air to de-stress and get movement in. But when it comes to fat loss, nutrition and strength training are your key drivers.

Making sure you are in a caloric deficit with enough protein to make sure you maintain that strong metabolism and strength training 4-5x week and SLEEP for your recovery. These 3 things will get you to your fat loss goals better than running for an hour on a treadmill 5x/week.

If you are not sure how to cut back on your cardio, add strength training into your routine and make sure you are in a deficit then just reach out to us.

As coaches we are here to help, all you have to do is ask.
