Are you frustrated with stubborn weight issues, sleep challenges and low energy?
As a pre- or post-menopausal woman, you likely realize you still have some big dreams and desires?
You may have aging parents to care for, grandkids to play with, adventures and trips to take, an empty nest to navigate…
And, you probably have a career (or second act!) that’s important to you as well.
So, it’s especially frustrating to feel your body changing as you enter your 50’s, and at a loss about what to do. Things like…
- feeling hazy and forgetful,
- putting on weight that stubbornly refuses to leave,
- tossing and turning all night long,
- feeling concerned with belly bloating,
- discomfort from the aches and the pains that you had hoped to avoid as you aged.
If you’re like my smart, capable clients, I bet you’ve made solid effort to resolve these unique challenges.
Perhaps you’ve tried more caffeine or sugary treats to keep you going, but it only leaves you foggy and groggy in the mornings.
Or at the end of the day, to relieve stress and help yourself drift off to sleep you find you’re consuming more wine than you used to, only to find that you’re frequently waking up at night, having hot flashes and waking up exhausted in the morning.
And, on a deeper level, you are secretly worried that your best years may be behind you.
You recognize that something needs to change, but how and where to start?
"First, let me be clear, the way you feel is NOT your fault."
I’m betting that you are WAY to hard on yourself and are likely doing the best you can with what you know. The plethora of nutrition and health information available today is simply too much to sift through.
It leaves many women feeling frustrated and confused about what to eat and what kind of exercise is best.
The truth is there really is no one size fits all approach and most diet or eating plans are exactly that: A one-size fits all approach.
Your biology doesn’t work like that.
Your biology has changed, and it’s time to change with it.
Listen, your biology is unique to you and it certainly didn’t read the latest nutrition book!
As I’m sure you suspect, some women function well with a paleo-style diet, some do well with a plant-based diet, and others require something more therapeutic like an auto-immune paleo or keto eating plan or an entirely unique mix.
The same is true for exercise. Some women thrive with yoga and walking and others feel best when running and lifting weights.
In your 50’s it’s essential to understand what your cravings, physical symptoms and sensations are telling you your body needs now.
"Your body is a wealth of information and when you learn to tune into her…and truly listen."
You may be surprised to learn that there are reasons you’ve been dieting and exercising without the results you’d expect.As we age, foods that we reached for in the past that worked well, may no longer work for us.
As we get older, it’s absolutely essential that we adjust our diet, fitness and lifestyle habits to support the goals, biology, and lifestyle we have NOW.
This is the time in life to become more strategic, not work harder or do more.
Here’s the good news…
It is entirely possible to sleep well and wake up naturally and with a clear head, excited and enthusiastic about the day ahead.
And, yes, it’s entirely possible to have the energy and vitality needed to do what matters to you!
With a few upgrades in how you eat, move and care for yourself, your body, mind, and Soul can take you far.
Be it making sure you can continue earning, or creating your dream business, getting on the floor with or chasing after your grandchildren, enjoying adventures with your friends or partner, living with minimal aches and pains, caring for elderly parents with energy to spare, enjoying active weekends hiking, biking, or socializing and much more.
It’s possible to feel strong and at home in your body, enjoying confidence as you age better!
It’s possible to LOVE your body!
With the right guidance, you can feel better, sharper and more alive in your 50’s.
I’m Lisa…. And, I’ve spent over 30 years working in women’s health, nutrition, and healthcare. I’m a Functional Health Coach & Women’s Wellness Educator.
In my 20’s and 30’s I experienced my own health challenges after having my children and spent a lot of time and money going from doctor to doctor to get to the root of why I felt so poorly. To say the least, I felt frustrated by the process.
Through trial and error and continual health education, I began to feel healthier and happier than I had in a long time. My 40’s and now 50’s have been about adapting what worked for me then to finding what works with my own shifting hormones, dreams, and goals at this stage of my life.
Now in my 50’s, I’ve successfully maintained my weight, am stronger and fitter than I was in my younger years. I have the energy, immunity, and brain health I need to live a fully engaged life with my husband, run two successful business and teach yoga. And, I can show you how to do this too!
My belief is that when you invest in feeling YOUR absolute best in this unique stage of life, you’ll have MORE LIFE to offer your family, community and yourself. And, life just gets much more joyful, and pleasurable too!
