Today I'm joined by our amazing client Jennifer, who just wrapped up a two-week rapid fat loss phase, and dropped 6.5 pounds, 4.5 inches and 2% body fat without misery, starvation, or cardio.

We dive into:
– why we decided it was time for a more aggressive approach
– how she used ChatGPT and MyFitnessPal to plan meals
– what her daily eating looked like as a picky eater
– how she managed hunger, workouts
– how her mindset and confidence shift
– and the exact weight drops she tracked over the 14 days

This approach has been a huge success for our clients. This is highly effective when it’s the right time and the foundation is set, it works! Big thanks to Jennifer for sharing her story!

Are you stuck in the “I barely eat and still can’t lose weight” phase? You’re not alone, and you’re definitely not broken.

In this episode of Mastering Menopause, I break down why chronic dieting and ultra-low calorie goals (like 1200 or even 1400) are sabotaging your metabolism, especially in menopause.

We’ll talk about:

• why your metabolism adapts and how to prime it again
• what chronic undereating does to your hormones, energy, and muscle
• how to calculate your real maintenance calories
• why protein and strength training are essential in menopause
• how to shift out of survival mode and into fat loss that actually works

if this episode resonates, please tag me, share it with a friend, and leave a review. let’s stop the cycle of undereating and start thriving in menopause.

Traveling while bloated is the worst—and if you're in menopause, it hits even harder. In this episode, I’m sharing my personal experience with bloating on the road (Mexico and Sedona included), what triggers it for me (looking at you, black pepper), and what actually works to prevent and relieve it.

We’re talking:

• What causes bloating during travel
• My go-to supplements and what flopped
• Why stress, cabin pressure, and food intolerances all play a role
• The difference between occasional bloating and the kind that lingers
• What to do when you’re bloated right now (yes, I even share my "fart walks" 🫣)
