Healthy... without the struggle
You want to look good, feel fit, and have enough energy to take care of your family, home, and career. You crave simplicity and don't want to feel guilty for taking time for yourself.
The challenge?
You're bombarded with confusing information about how to be healthy, how to be a mom, how to be a woman living a healthy, happy life.... and now you're overwhelmed with a new hurdle: perimenopause.
I know you. I am you.
I am a busy wife and mom just like you. And I've been there. Even as a health coach and MD, despite my knowlege and experience, I faced my own health crisis in my 40s. Suddenly, I was dealing with unexplained weight gain, plummeting energy levels, and disruptive hot flashes. My go-to wellness routines backfired, leaving me overwhelmed, irritable, and feeling lost. I soon realized that much of the well-intentioned advice I had been following was tailored for younger women and actually working against my hormones. I had to relearn what wellness truly meant for women navigating the perimenopause and menopause transition.
But here's the good news: it is absolutely possible to take care of yourself, get fit, and be healthy without consuming all your time and energy. I've walked this path and found solutions that work.
Let's demystify perimenopause and menopause together. I'll show you how.
Rediscover the vibrant you Inside with EMbrace YOU
introducing...
For decades, women have been caught in a whirlwind of confusing health advice, especially as they transition into midlife. Too many programs and diets come with complicated rules and unsustainable practices that don't consider the hormonal changes happening inside the body. Traditional diets? They're often restrictive and don’t give lasting results. They mislead with an 'all or nothing' mantra that fuels guilt and dissatisfaction, often ending in the dreaded yo-yo effect.
Through Embrace YOU, you will go from feeling lost in the maze of health trends, feeling disconnected from your body, and battling the relentless diet roller coaster, to embracing a tailored, holistic approach that simplifies health, aligns with your unique phase of life, and prioritizes inner well-being over external validations. Revel in the freedom from diet fads, experience a consistent and joyful health routine, and step confidently into a future of vibrant well-being and authentic self-alignment.
Mindful Indulgence: Enjoying Holiday Treats Without the Guilt - Part 2
Welcome back to my series on mindful eating! In this second part, we're tackling a sweet spot of holiday eating - indulgences. Let's be real: the holiday season is sprinkled with temptations, from grandma's famous cookies to the festive eggnog. But here's the good news – indulging isn't just okay; it's a natural and healthy part of life, especially when approached mindfully.
Rethinking Indulgences: It's Okay to Indulge
The first step in mindful indulgence is to shift our mindset. Indulgences are not 'bad,' and enjoying them doesn't make us 'bad.' In fact, when we label foods as 'bad,' we create a cycle of guilt and restriction that's neither healthy nor sustainable. Remember, occasional treats are part of a balanced life.
Aligning Indulgences with Your Goals
As we navigate the menopausal transition, it's essential to align our actions with our goals. Indulging all the time might steer us away from our health objectives. However, when we indulge strategically and in moderation, we create a sustainable path that respects our bodies and our goals.
Planning for Indulgences
Anticipate and Plan: Before the holiday season kicks into full gear, think about which treats you absolutely love and plan for them. This anticipation can enhance the enjoyment and help prevent impulsive overindulgence.
Mindful Selection: When you choose to indulge, do it mindfully. Savor the flavors, textures, and experience. This helps in appreciating the treat and feeling satisfied with less.
Balancing Act: When you plan an indulgence, balance it out with healthier choices throughout the day. If you’re planning a rich dinner, opt for a light, veggie-packed lunch.
Post-Indulgence Strategy: Have a plan for after indulging. This could be a brisk walk, a nourishing meal the next day, or simply returning to your regular eating routine without guilt.
Indulgences, especially during the holidays, are a delightful part of life and can coexist with a healthy lifestyle. It's all about mindful choices, balance, and enjoying the rich experiences life offers, particularly during the transformative years of perimenopause.
Let’s embrace this holiday season with a spirit of joy and balance. Here's to savoring our favorite treats mindfully and without guilt!
