I want to talk about something that might raise an eyebrow or two – planning for failure. 

I can almost hear you saying, "Coach Kris, why on earth would I want to plan for failure? Isn't that counterproductive?"

Well, stick with me, and let's unpack why it's not just okay but crucial in our journey to wellness.

The Mindset Shift: Redefining Failure

Often, the fear of failure looms large when we start on a wellness journey. 

We question if we can truly show up for ourselves, especially when past attempts have left us feeling defeated. 

But what if we shifted our mindset and saw failure not as a dead-end but as a stepping stone? 

While talking to women in midlife, I often encounter the unspoken fear of failure. 

There is uncertainty if this time will be any different. 

Here's the thing – we need to...

Transformation. We toss this term around, but do we truly grasp its depth and power? 

Today, let's dive into the amazing process of transformation, particularly in the context of menopause. 

When you start on a transformation journey, whether it's a quest for weight loss, a newfound exercise routine, or the journey through menopause, our initial expectation often leans towards immediacy. We anticipate swift results, envisioning a rapid metamorphosis. However, real transformation is a patient artist, painting its masterpiece over time. It thrives on consistency, repetition, and the commitment to small, incremental improvements. This is where the magic lies and this is the long game we need to embrace.

 Trim Healthy Mama for Ladies Over 50

Menopause and midlife bring a unique set of challenges, and one of the most common and frustrating among them is the issue of weight gain. You're not alone in this struggle; many women like you are experiencing the same thing. But the good news is, I’m here to debunk some of the myths and provide you with effective solutions to help you navigate this transformative phase of life.

Myth Debunking

Menopause Isn't a Sudden Event

One common misconception is that menopause happens suddenly. All of a sudden, everything changes, right? Well, not exactly. Menopause is more of a gradual process, stretching over several years. It typically begins with perimenopause, which can start as early as your late 30s. So, if you're thinking everything happened suddenly, think again.

Menopause Affects More Than Just Your Body

Menopause is not...

Let’s learn how to stop the crazy menopausal symptoms so you can feel good in midlife.

Today on the Honeycast I want to bring you good news. 

You can take a few very important steps and dial in the best ways to support your body. But first I want to acknowledge that the suffering is REAL. Hormonal changes and their accompanying symptoms are a part of life and are natural but it doesn’t mean you need to suffer or “get over it.” 

Even though your hormones are declining you can fix the symptoms that often come with those shifts. You can get the right nutrition and fuel, and you can exercise in a way that turns on fat-burning without tanking your adrenals.

Not everything I’m sharing with you here today is coming directly from Trim Healthy Mama or Pearl & Serene. Hours of personal research and research for clients as well...

Journey to Midlife Wellness: Challenges and Insights

It took me years to figure things out and can I just say, today’s way of dealing with menopause has not been very helpful to me. 

My goal is to make walking through this midlife season accessible and helpful to you. Especially if you are trying to lose weight instead of gain and the menopause hormonal symptoms are taking over your life. 

My desire is for you to show up well, be strong, and have hope. 

Your midlife can be a new beginning. 

Personal training and women’s health has been my passion for several years.

At first, when I started my Trim Healthy journey I wasn’t looking into hormones or anything like that. I just wanted to lose the last few pounds and stop the dieting roller coaster. I wanted to be healthy and feel better.

Midlife Challenges in Your Trim Healthy Journey

Back in 2012 a couple of my “besties,” Serene and Pearl, searched for answers to sustainable weight loss for women. As they figured out the best ways to fuel with foods for fat loss, I joined their plan and together we lost weight and regained our health. 

The plan (Trim Healthy Mama) they laid out for weight loss is excellent and works for women of all ages but as I’ve moved into my midlife years I’ve learned to make a few tweaks to the basic Trim Healthy plan to make weight loss easier with hormonal changes.

A key concept we often overlook in midlife is to eat plenty of protein. Protein is a key pillar of the Trim Healthy plan and continues to be of utmost importance through your...

Harnessing the Power of Mindset for Weight Loss in Midlife

Midlife can bring about a host of challenges, but perhaps one of the most pervasive is the struggle with weight. With age, our metabolism slows down, and the routines we've stuck with for decades might not serve us anymore. But the journey to health isn’t just about the physical. It’s a mental challenge. If you’ve been lying to yourself about why can't lose weight or why Trim Healthy Mama won't work for you, now is the time to change your narrative. Let's dive into how you can cultivate a mindset for weight loss in midlife, one that is honest, encouraging, and transformative.

The Pitfalls of Self-Deception

Sometimes, the biggest lies we tell are the ones we tell ourselves. These lies might include:

"I'm too old to change."

"This is just how my body is now."

"I've tried everything; nothing works for...
