WAITLIST
An 8-week program for women 35 and older
Next Program TBD
Our bodies change in numerous ways after our mid-30s.
The research tell us that on average:
- We gain between 5-12 pounds of visceral fat during the menopause transition.
- We lose between 5-8% of lean muscle mass each decade, starting at age 30.
- After menopause, lean muscle mass loss accelerates to ~30% between ages 50-70.
- We lose up to 20% of our bone density in the 5-7 years after menopause.
- The prevalence of Metabolic Syndrome ranges from 32-58% in postmenopausal women.
We know it sucks and the struggle is real…but it’s the truth.
The good news is YOU DO HAVE CONTROL and
WE CAN CHANGE THE STATISTICS.
Are you struggling with midlife weight gain, fatigue, and not sure what to do differently?
You're not alone. Traditional weight loss strategies aren’t as effective for what you need to better support body composition, metabolic health, and working with the natural changes of aging.
Making appropriate evidence-based adjustments to your exercise and food patterns helps you achieve optimal results for your health and performance as you age.
Which is why we created a program designed for where you are now.
