12 weeks to Get Your Body & Schedule Leaned Out for Mid-Life
Publication details
It was about 1 year ago when I realized. Dammit. It's all downhill from here...
I hate that mindset, but that's where I was. My skin, body, joints, figure, strength, mental sharpness....I don't know when my "peak" actually occurred, but I thought, "It's not going to get any better from here on out." 😬
I knew that I was doing enough things right that I wasn't experiencing symptoms to the degree as many of my peers. However, I was still seeing and feeling "shifts", despite a long history of healthy and consistent habits. But I hated that many of my friends and clients were really struggling, especially with the body piece.
We live in a culture where youth and beauty is overtly glorified, especially for women. It's easy for us to lose our entire sense of value and identity when we feel these "assets" are being stripped from us. Most of us don't really want to be 25 again, but we also still want to feel like US. And at this point in our life, there can start to be a disconnect of who we feel we are with who we see in the mirror. We feel out of our skin.
And so, I started studying....and applying. How do we make the most of what we've got consider the changes that are inevitably going to happen? Just like puberty, we're going to experience hormonal disruption, but how do we arm ourselves with the right knowledge, tools, and practices to age as gracefully as possible and preserve not only our physiques, but also our CONFIDENCE in the process?
And so here we are.....
The Perimenopause Prescription

Through individualized coaching and group trainings, we address all that needs to change when we're going through "The Change"....

What about hormone therapy? Should I be cautious and why/why not? What should I be looking out for to even know if my doc is the right fit for this aspect of my healthcare? What should my expectations be regarding symptom alleviation and even cost?

Working with Erin has been a game changer for me. I was overwhelmed with how to fit an exercise routine into my work and family schedule.

She has given me a way to increase my flexibility and strength in the time that I have. I feel so much better! - Liz
