Hi Reader,

“Balance your hormones. Balance your meals. Balance your moods.”

Let’s be honest — during menopause, “balance” can feel like trying to stand on one foot, on a boat, during a storm … while someone keeps moving the boat!

When hot flashes hit at 3 AM, your energy crashes at 3 PM, and those stubborn pounds cling to your middle no matter what you do — “balance” seems like a fantasy, doesn’t it?

Here’s what I’ve learned both personally and professionally: true hormonal balance isn’t about perfection.

It’s about creating YOUR OWN sustainable rhythm that works specifically for your menopausal body and lifestyle — one that finally addresses that frustrating midsection, unpredictable energy levels, and hormonal roller coaster.

Start by asking yourself: Which menopausal symptom is affecting your quality of life the most right now?

Maybe… - Your energy crashes leave you reaching for sugar and caffeine - Your sleep is so disrupted you can barely function the next day - Your metabolism seems completely different than it was even a few years ago - Your midsection keeps expanding despite your best efforts

Instead of trying to transform everything at once, let’s focus on ONE area where a small shift could bring noticeable relief.

Here’s how you can start:

➡️ If your menopausal middle is frustrating you: Try my 10-minute metabolism-boosting morning routine that works specifically for insulin resistance (a common hormonal change during menopause). No starvation required!

• 2 min gentle stretching + 5 min deep core work + 3 min resistance exercises
• Pair with 25g protein breakfast within 30 minutes of waking to regulate cortisol (unless you need to wait longer after taking your thyroid meds)
• Eat low glycemic meals
• Most clients lose 2 inches around their waist in just 3 weeks

➡️ If energy crashes are ruining your afternoons: Implement my 3-2-1 eating approach that balances blood sugar and prevents those debilitating slumps (hint: it’s not about eating less, but about timing and combinations).

• 3-4 hours maximum between meals/snacks
• 2 food groups per meal (always pair protein with fiber-rich carbs aka veggies)
• Small amount of healthy fat with each meal to slow glucose absorption
• Client success: “First time in years I don’t need an afternoon nap” - Deborah

➡️ If hot flashes and night sweats are exhausting you: Start with my evening cooling ritual that drops core temperature naturally and improves sleep quality by 40% (according to my clients’ tracking).

• Lukewarm-to-cool shower 90 minutes before bed
• Breathable fabrics + room temperature 65-68°F
• Cooling gel pack under pillow + lemon water by the bed
• 43% reduction in nighttime hot flashes in the first week

Here’s what I’m focusing on this month as a menopausal woman myself (in addition to eating low glycemic meals): incorporating 10 minutes of joint-friendly strength training daily to maintain muscle mass, which naturally decreases during menopause. The difference in my metabolism and confidence has been remarkable.

Small, strategic tweaks like these might not seem revolutionary, but they work WITH your changing hormones instead of against them—and that’s where sustainable transformation happens.

So, what could hormonal balance look like for your menopausal body this month?

Let it feel doable, personalized, and designed specifically for this unique phase of life.
