But I need my carbs!! Actually no, as cute as those pics are! Years ago I learned that I was a carb burner, not a fat burner. How did I know? I was always starving after I worked out and my muscles felt weak. After years of learning and research, trial and error, working with my own insulin issues and metabolic damage, I work out now in a fasted state, lifting heavy, and have all the energy I need.... My new course, #themenopausemanifesto will be available soon to show you what I did to get my body and my muscles to tap into those stubborn fat stores, heal insulin resistance and take my health to a new level!! You can too and it’s NOT a product you buy. Everything you need is in you, just a few new habits and tweaks is all! * * * * * #midlifecrisis #midlifewoman #menopausemanifesto #midlife #meno #menopauseweightloss #perimenopause #thisisfifty #50andfabulous #over50andfabulous #hormones #fastingforweightloss #rsgcommunity

I’ve always believed this. You cannot go along with what you do not believe in simply because it’s easiest and everyone else fits into that mold. I’ve walked away from relationships and people even when it was so bloody painful, because I knew it was the right thing to do. Looking back I don’t regret any of it, I’m so grateful for that little voice deep down inside saying it’s not right...stepped through that fear, and just trusted.... I’ve always thought critically for myself, tried many things and failed too, questioned everything if my spider sense went off even a little, and made decisions I knew were right, even if it cost me a lot. I’m not afraid to fail, more afraid of not taking chances. I saw a quote the other day I loved...If you don’t fit in it this world, maybe you’re meant to help start a new one. I’m not about to change now! Full steam ahead! * * * * * #midlifecrisis #midlifewoman #menopausemanifesto #midlife #meno #menopauseweightloss #perimenopause #thisisfifty #50andfabulous #over50andfabulous #hormones #fastingforweightloss #rsgcommunity

For many women when asked that question, they think about it, and then say years ago. Menopause symptoms can start around the age of 42. In Chinese medicine that is the normal age range of when things can begin to shift, unless medically induced and then again at 49. Your health going into this time usually dictates how this transition will go for you. How is your health and wellness? ... How is your weight and fitness levels? How are you managing your stress? Are you burnt out? Many women acknowledge they are estrogen dominant or have zero progesterone, zero estrogen or no testosterone. But what causes those things to go out in the first place? We are treating the symptoms, NOT the cause. For myself that’s when noticeable changes kicked in 42-43 years of age. My periods changed, heavier flow and major cramping. For years I suffered through it thinking it was normal. It’s not. I had major imbalances. So I started digging and researching for myself. There is something at the root of those changes and it isn’t necessarily just our sex hormones going wacky. You have to think beyond that. What could really be the main culprits? Our main governing hormones that’s who. Insulin Cortisol Adrenaline Serotonin Dopamine Oxytocin These can all be out of balance in one way or another, most of the time a few are REALLY out. And there is one that tends to be the main offender. My program could help you to understand how to get all these hormones back on the road to health and balance. Your body can return to a healthy weight and start to operate optimally, you just have to learn how. NO excessive exercise! NO dieting!! Dieting damages your metabolism. This program could Slim you down and lean you out Balance your hormones naturally Stop all cravings and overeating crap Energize and empower you Reduce or eliminate menopause symptoms!!! Balance your body, mind and much more!! Are you ready for a new approach? Program will be available online soon!! Stay tuned!! Link will be in my bio. * * * *

This is my breakfast today!! I do not eat low fat!!! I do not exercise endlessly. Who has the time or can be bothered?!? Reducing your calories and exercising more is a broken model!!! They have known since 1995 that it doesn’t work, but we still believe it, it is an insidious belief in our society and it is damaging us all. Throw in the hormone changes of menopause and you have a perfect storm! ... What if by learning how to balance these hormones you might eliminate or really reduce your symptoms altogether? What if we all learned that these hormones being in balance PRIOR to menopause could eliminate symptoms all together and we would sail through no problem? These hormones are no estrogen or progesterone or testosterone. They are little fish in the pond. We need to go after the big fish!! Would you share that information with your daughters and nieces and friends so they could avoid all this suffering? Well that’s my mission. I’m working towards that with not only myself, my test group, but my own research and schooling to uncover another way. You aren’t broken! This can be fixed!! Your body can return to a healthy weight and start to operate optimally, you just have to learn how. NO excessive exercise! NO dieting!! You need to understand what is happening to you and understand a few hormones and how to tweak them. Obesity is an epidemic!!! Type 2 Diabetes is an epidemic! We are heavier and more unhealthy than ever, and everyone is reducing calories and exercising like crazy!! It’s not the answer, especially not during menopause. We have to stop, become conscious again and take back our health! It’s easier than you think! I’m walking proof and my test group is walking proof!! This program will Slim you down and lean you out Balance your hormones naturally Stop all cravings and overeating crap Energize and empower you Reduce or eliminate menopause symptoms!!! Balance your body, mind and much more!! Share this post! Tag a friend who is struggling! It doesn’t have to be this way! Program will be available online soon!! Stay tuned!! Link will be in my bio soon!

As the ladies in the Menopause Manifesto test group are continuing to do fantastic, one of the main staples in my program is my recipe for homemade #bonebroth!

Supports weight loss Helps heal the gut Boosts immunity Joint and bone protection I may be coheres I to sharing the recipe of someone is interested! Send me a DM and I would be happy to share!!!

Sometimes we just need that down time. As women we spend so much time trying to keep it together for everyone else, we are writing cheque’s on an emotional bank balance we do not have. Make time for snuggling in bed, reading a book, locking the door and having a bath and don’t come out unless there is blood spilled and in a carpeted area Do your best to recharge when you can! I’m huge fan of meditation and walks outside. We all have responsibilities and people that re...ly on us, but you MUST recharge. Menopause is challenging enough without gas in your tank, do your best and take some time, find your gratitude and then wade back into the crazy Much love * * * * #midlifecrisis #midlifewoman #menopausemanifesto #midlife #meno #menopauseweightloss #perimenopause #thisisfifty #50andfabulous #over50andfabulous #hormones #fastingforweightloss #rsgcommunity
