“Because the female body is so, so sensitive to stress, especially in perimenopause and menopause, we need to support it the right way, not only during the fast, but before the fast. And that means supporting your body with the correct amount of protein, the correct amount of nutrients. And then during the fast, I actually encourage small snacks throughout the day because there's research out there that shows that as long as we kee...

“Just like anything in life, if we want something, we get to decide. I think it's all perspective and this is where I tie in the mindset component of the work with my clients is it's all around empowered decisions. So when we think I couldn't do that because I'd have to give up X, Y and Z, we take our power away, right? Instead of being like, well, what's possible, could it be possible, what would it look like? Has anybody else eve...

“I really like to focus on balancing blood sugar and that in itself can help fix waking up in the night. It can help fix the brain fog with the belly fat and it is a big transition and I like to work with just like women eating three meals a day and really like making those that breakfast, that lunch and that dinner, like, very substantial, but having a little bit of fasting time and fasting overnight as well. However, I know that ...

“It’s been a slow progression and I just have to keep reminding myself, I have so much shit that's been buried within because I didn't deal with that for 35 years. I have to slowly unpeel the layers back and not feeling shame or guilt around putting myself in this position because sometimes people can think, well, God, I just put myself into position. It's funny when we start to listen to the conversations we have with ourselves an...

“The worst thing we can do and people do this is to be antagonistic and fight and complain and argumentative with them about it, which people do, and then take that home and rant about it at Facebook groups and the spouse and then lash out their kids. Because here's what I'm going to say, is that you're the one losing. At the end of the day, it's not them, and you're only going to feel worse because guess what really got you sick i...

“I really believe that we will always follow through with who we believe that we are and we'll never be able to do something that is inconsistent with our identity. So, if you don't believe you're the kind of person who would X, Y, Z, your brain's not even going to question if you can or not, because that's not who I am. So, whenever I'm working with someone, for example, I'm always making sure that whatever the changes I help crea...

“At the end of the year, I always sit and I think, what am I most grateful for? And you know, what's crazy is I was most grateful for the worst moments. because I could see how I processed myself through them.

And so we love to learn, we love to create and so you have to have that support staff and such that that will allow that to happen. Which is such a beautiful thing to work for ourselves because we can build it out however it is that we want to fit in our life versus trying to fit a like a round peg into or squa...

“There is no question there, menopause symptoms, they're very controllable. Anyhow, women, at least I know a lot of them that I tend to attract. My body is just doing this crazy stuff and I just don't know what to do anymore and it's like it has its mind of its own, but they don't recognize. But that's where you and I come in, where you can control these things. Stress management, your sleep habits, the stuff you're eating. I mean,...

“I was constantly moving from therapist to therapist while I was married, because I always thought I was the problem. And the therapist would be like, well, I mean, obviously you're not perfect, none of us are but in this scenario, you have to make a decision. You either accept his behaviors and live the rest of your life like this, or you just like walk away. And there was so many times that therapists, we would literally end afte...

“Stress does gives you a little bit of that that energetic boost. It gives you a little bit of focus but the problem is, is that people get addicted to that and that's where I was talking about. Are you addicted to the stress hormones? And that is where the problems come in and you have to pull the reins in on what are all of these dynamics that really need to be looked at in your life. What are the traumas, the toxins, the thought...

“Most people's metabolisms do need to be rebuilt. If you want to lose weight, you have to rebuild your metabolism because a lot of times it's broken for lack of better words. And of course your hormones must be balanced. So there's a good chance that you are fatigued, feel exhausted, you're having a hard time losing weight, you have low libido. You might have feelings of being depressed and you might wake up with a sense of dread. ...

“Now when it comes to a problem, we're going to talk about a couple of problems here. But we as women, we tend to think that if we exercise more and eat less, that this is going to be the answer to our problem, which is hanging on to weight, so on and so forth. But really all this does is it creates more hunger, low energy cravings, weight gain, and then you just keep repeating the cycle over and over. It's literally like a method ...

“I work with a lot of women. Typically they are over 35, usually closer to 40. They are starting to feel the consequences of a lot of their choices from when they were in their twenties. For example, when I was in my 20’s I was constantly exercising! I would literally exercise 3x a day and eat a potato.  Not knowing that I would be paying the price later on. So we tend to have these behaviors and way of operating and we think that ...

“I remember back then I developed a nervous tummy and would puke bile in the mornings. When it came time to get ready for school, I was a nervous wreck all the time, and I remember that time my mom even took me to the doctor.

“The accountability and the humility, you know, the humility then brings on the courage. It's so incredibly important. You may be just thinking, okay, I want to  start making changes here. And I think the most important thing is coming into this space of there is no judgment here. There is none whatsoever, like meeting people where they are and helping them along. And that's that, because there are things that we don't want to give...

“Values are connected to your beliefs and guide the decisions that you make. So why are they important? Well, when you get clear on them, you're not going to feel a sense of failure. You're not going to feel this resistance. You'll never feel uncertainty and you certainly will not feel indecisive. You will feel like that is a solid hell yes and then does the solid hell no. So for example, I lived my life with these four emotions. I...
