I’m 50, my blood work puts my biological age at 34, and that’s because I focus on metabolic health. 

I’ve spent 20+ years as a nutritionist specializing in women’s hormones and metabolic health. I eat to support my hormones, I eat to stay strong, I eat to protect my bones.

Restrict for too long and your body reads it as stress. And if you’re a high-performing woman, you’re already carrying plenty of that. Stack under-eating on top and your body stops feeling safe enough to let go of weight. It needs safety and a good foundation first.

I’ve never skipped a cycle. Regular my whole life, and when I came off HRT last November my Oura ring still tracked ovulation. In a pooled analysis of 11 studies, women who were underweight had more than twice the risk of early menopause (Zhu, Eur J Epidemiol 2018).

I hip thrust 275 pounds because bones respond to load. In the LIFTMOR trial, postmenopausal women who lifted heavy twice a week for 8 months gained bone in their spine while the low-intensity group lost it (Watson, J Bone Miner Res 2018).

And I look after my gut and my thyroid before I ever chase a hormone. I eat 30+ grams of fiber a day, because your gut is how used estrogen leaves your body. Your thyroid slows when stress and blood sugar are off.

Join me for my free live masterclass, Age Reversal Weight Loss Secrets for Women Over 40, on Friday, October 16 at 8:30am PT / 11:30am ET. You’ll learn the 3 pillars of perimenopausal weight loss (hormones, muscle and insulin sensitivity), what I changed in my own 40s, where to start with sleep, movement, protein and cravings without overhauling your whole life, and what support looks like when you’re ready to put it into practice.

Comment SECRET and I’ll send you your seat. Follow me first so it lands in your DMs instead of your message requests.

Send it to the friend who keeps eating less and wondering why nothing changes.

Follow for what 20+ years in women’s hormones has taught me about aging well.
