Your hormones are changing — your weight loss plan should too.


Dear Reader,

Maria, 47, had always been disciplined. She tracked her food, exercised regularly, and prioritized sleep. Yet this summer, the number on the scale crept up despite her best efforts.

She was frustrated and confused.

What Maria was experiencing was the perimenopause puzzle.

During perimenopause, estrogen fluctuates unpredictably, insulin sensitivity decreases, and sleep often becomes disrupted. These hormonal changes make old weight loss strategies less effective — and frustration more common.

We adjusted her approach to fit her shifting biology:

  • Increasing protein intake, especially at breakfast
  • Prioritizing strength training over excessive cardio
  • Supporting sleep with magnesium supplementation and regular routines
  • Incorporating stress reduction techniques

Within 8 weeks, Maria noticed not just weight loss but improved energy and mood. Her body composition improved — losing fat and gaining lean muscle. Most importantly, she felt empowered instead of defeated.

If you’re navigating perimenopause and feel stuck, it’s not your fault — it’s your hormones.

This fall, I’m offering a limited 10-person accelerated weight loss group focused on hormonal health and sustainable metabolic change.

If you want to reclaim control and work with your body — not against it — this group is for you.

Dear Reader, Jordan, a physician and busy mom, was caught in the all-or-nothing trap. She’d commit to strict clean eating and 5AM workouts for weeks — then a stressful event or busy week would derail everything. She’d “start fresh Monday” repeatedly, leaving her feeling frustrated and defeated. Her problem wasn’t a lack of willpower — it was biology. In the perimenopause years, rising stress, hormone fluctuations, disrupted sleep, and blood sugar swings amplify cravings and sabotage...

Dear Reader, If you’re like many of the patients I work with, summer might have brought a burst of motivation — maybe you started exercising more, cleaned up your meals, or tried a new routine. But as August rolls in and the school year kicks off, sustaining those changes feels harder. The overwhelm returns. Old patterns sneak back. The cycle of “start strong, fade fast” continues. Why? Because sustainable weight loss isn’t about motivation alone. It’s about habits — the small, repeatable...

Hi Reader, Summer’s winding down. The kids’ backpacks are back on the kitchen table. The calendar’s filling up. You’re juggling work deadlines, school drop-offs, and everything in between. Lisa, a busy executive and mom of two, was in the exact same spot this time last year. She spent the summer sweating it out at the gym, carefully logging meals, and saying no to treats — but as August came around, her energy tanked. The scale stalled. Motivation drained away. She thought her metabolism was...
