“It’s something called repressed metabolic syndrome… they do too many diets and, and too much exercise actually, and they actually turn off their own metabolism.”

“In about 8 to 9 weeks of working with women who are perimenopausal and menopausal, their other hormones will balance their estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone.”

“My typical client will lose 20 to 30 pounds of body fat in a 12-week period. These are women over 50, in many cases, even in their 60s. And I’ve had women in their 70s.”
