“What finally worked for me” 

When we first spoke to this client she was FED UP...

"Nothing works, I have tried everything..I eat well, I exercise but I can't lose weight..."

Unfortunately this is something I hear A LOT, especially with menopausal clients 

This client (who is in menopause) went from not seeing ANY results to losing 20lbs in a few months

HOW?

Simple - she got a plan that addressed MENOPAUSE - not ignored it
 

Nutrition
 

When this client signed up we got to work with firstly creating a nutrition plan for HER body 

👉 one that FACTORED in the change to metabolism and hormones 

👉 one that FACTORED in her LIFE, ie the foods she liked, her social life, her work schedule and so on 

👉 one that started to help OFFSET menopausal symptoms, broken sleep, low energy, heightened stress

👉 one that would start to optimise her GUT HEALTH (menopausal women experience poorer gut health due to the change in hormones leading to lower energy, bloating, poor absorption of minerals and even poor mental health) 

Exercise

Then we started assessing HER life to create an exercise plan that would aid results for HER
👉  yes, when you are going through menopause and estrogen is starting to decline your body starts to produce more cortisol - lots of things then compounds this and creates even MORE cortisol, like poor sleep (a BIG one), overusing caffeine, food choices etc but also OVERTRAINING for YOUR body and LIFE

What I mean by this is: BUSY women who spin a lot of different plates each day, who led pretty hectic work lives, experience stress through their day to day WILL HAVE HIGHER CORTISOL

So if you combine this type of lifestyle with MENOPAUSE then cortisol becomes more of an issue - dumping high intensity workouts in on top of this creates MORE

This is ONE of the reasons women struggle with "menopause belly" - so we had to actually get to know HER life, her work stress, how hectic her days were etc - this allowed us to understand if her body would naturally be creating more cortisol due to her lifestyle and THEN we create an exercise plan AROUND THIS

Not just a random one size fits all workout 

REALISTIC EXPECATIONS

After we had her nutrition and workouts in place we had to give her a REALISTIC PATHWAY
This is game changer for our menopausal clients - seeing THEIR path to the goals and the realistic TIMEFRAME

Unfortunately so many menopausal women struggle to stay consistent because they think its "not working" when they see slower results or even when things "stop working" - THIS IS NORMAL

If you are going through menopause your results will be SLOWER and you will also hit MORE Plateaus in your journey - its very unlikely you are going to see 2lbs or more weight loss each week, more like 0.5lb

So telling a menopausal woman this ie "its going to take you X amount of weeks to hit this goal and you are going to experience some plateaus a long the way but thats cool, i've got you - I have a clear view of your journey and im going to take each step with you" - this massively helps with their momentum 

SLEEP HEALTH

 💯Then it was time to work on her SLEEP HEALTH
I talk about SLEEP a lot ha

But thats because its hugely overlooked for menopausal health - not just weight loss but to help with menopausal symptoms, the regulation of hormones, to lower cravings, to reduce stress eating and so on

Once a client gets their SLEEP HYGIENE in place, results start to come "easier" 

KNOWLEDGE

Aside from ensuring this client had a plan each week to keep seeing results and chipping away at that weight goal we wanted to EDUCATE her about this transition in her life

So over the past couple months this client has attended:
👉 Menopause workshops in our community to speak with other women going through the same journey, to learn more about why she was feeling certain ways
👉Menopause seminars inside our community to listen to some of the worlds leading menopausal experts to break myths, to debunk FALSE information around hormones
👉 Workshops to build better self confidence in HER not that her body has changed and going through a large life transition
👉Support sessions inside our community to learn more about GUT HEALTH, SLEEP, STRESS MANAGEMENT and more

Its very important for us at Laura Lambe Fitness to not only get our clients results but to give them the power of EDUCATION - proper coaching goes wayyy beyond giving someone a "plan" - thats NOT coaching 

So from a place of despair, not seeing results and feeling completely stuck just a few months ago to now:

 
💗 20lbs down
💗 vastly improved energy levels
💗 improved menopausal symptoms: sleeping better, less anxiety/stress, better gut health and so on
💗 feeling CONFIDENT again inside her own body
💗stronger and fitter than EVER before
💗 and a wealth of KNOWLEDGE

This woman has COMPLETELY transformed not just her physical weight but her health, her confidence, her KNOWLEDGE and equipped herself with the empowerment to confidently walk into this chapter in her life
