QUOTES

“There are these phases and the symptoms start to declare themselves the further along you go in many of these different phases.” 

“Yes, we’re aging throughout perimenopause. But it’s those declining hormones or the shift in hormones that’s really what’s driving a lot of these symptoms.”

“The prescription for that would be more protein, more healthy fats, more consistent sleep, doing exercises like yoga or walking or being in nature; being more grounded overall.”

“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.”
