Menopause weight loss starts with small, doable steps
|
Hi Reader! If you’ve been feeling frustrated, thinking that you should be spending hours at the gym to see results during menopause, I have good news: You don’t need to hit the gym for an hour every day to see results. In fact, combining structured exercise with regular, everyday movement (like walking, housework, or taking the stairs) can actually be more effective for menopausal weight loss. When I lost my 25 pounds of menopause weight, I didn’t go to the gym at all — I simply added short bursts of enjoyable activities throughout the day. In my latest blog post, I share how small, simple shifts in your daily routine can add up to big changes, without pressure or burnout. Check out the blog post here. Questions? Hit reply -- I'd love to hear from you! Take care, Anna |

Hi Reader, This might be an unpopular opinion in the vegan community, but it’s something I see every day in my coaching practice:Many vegan women in midlife aren’t getting enough protein. Now before you roll your eyes and think, “Not this again…”, let me unpack this. Of course we can get enough protein from plants. We’ve all heard it, said it, and probably defended it.But in midlife, the body changes, and so do its needs. Here’s what I often see with my clients:Weight gain, fatigue, and loss...
Hi Reader, Do you ever catch yourself wondering if menopause means the best years of your life are over? In our youth-driven culture, it’s easy to believe menopause marks the beginning of decline. You might feel like your confidence and sense of attractiveness are slipping away — like your sparkle is fading and there’s nothing you can do about it. But menopause is not the end of your best years. It can actually be the start of an incredibly powerful new chapter. With the right mindset,...
