Now that you've reached your midyears, are you experiencing any of the following:
- Gradual weight gain and you're wondering why since you've always been able to maintain your weight?
- Increasing belly fat and no matter how many tummy crunches you do, there's no change?
- You're working hard at eating healthy, watching your portion sizes and calorie intake, plus you're exercising everyday, but the weight on the scale still won't budge?
- The weight loss plans and exercise routines that worked in your 20's and 30's don't have the same positive outcome now that you're in your 40's or beyond?
- You've been told by your health care provider that since you're in midlife weight gain is common and it's part of growing old?
If you've said yes to the above, I'm here to shed light on many of these myths about weight loss in midlife and we don't have to settle for the conventional belief that:
“Weight loss is difficult in midlife.
You’ll just have to live with it.
Watch your calories and portion sizes and exercise harder.”
Midlife weight gain and belly fat may be common, but these changes should by no means be accepted as normal.
Shedding pounds and shrinking the belly fat are possible in midlife. The body is unique and has this innate wisdom and intelligence to release fat when you give it the right tools to do so.
Sudden weight gain in midlife is not because we've lost will power or we are eating too many calories. In fact, it's most often the ongoing calorie restriction and intense workouts that causes one to hold onto excess fat.
As a functional health and weight loss coach, I help midlife clients uncover the underlying reasons for their weight loss struggles, using a functional and holistic approach.
As a Certified Functional Diagnostic Nutrition© Practitioner, clients have access to functional lab testing, under the direction of a Medical Director Program, so help them delve deeper into the reasons behind their weight struggles.
I help them a) overcome the confusion about the “best diet” for midlife, and b) shed stubborn pounds and eliminate belly fat so they can gain energy, confidence, learn to love their bodies and age powerfully and healthfully and thrive on the other side of 50.
I help clients make lasting lifestyle changes, one bite size chunk at a time, with the emphasis on consistent, yet gradual healthy habit changes.
It is these habits repeated gradually and consistently that lead to lasting health and weight loss.
This is not a one-size-fits and calorie restrictive program.
It is personalized to you the client where the focus is on building a healthy whole body, mind and spirit that will result in lasting weight loss.
We have to build health from within to lose the stubborn weight and belly fat, and not lose the weight to reach health.
My approach is based on a collaborative partnership between you the client and me as your coach.
I empower you to become the CEO of your own health while being there alongside you, providing guidance and encouragement, so that you can make the best choices while on your health building weight loss journey.
If you're in midlife and you:

Are ready to get off the midlife weight loss/weight gain roller coaster for good?
I am here to help as someone who has been in your shoes and struggled with my own weight well into midlife.
