Value Driven Life

I have a lot of clients who are going through menopause, a point in time 12 months after a woman's last period & perimenopause, the time during which your body makes the natural transition to menopause. One of the effects of menopause is fluctuating estrogen levels; its effectiveness to modulate hunger hormones is reduced.[7] Menopausal women experience more intense hunger signals encouraging increased food intake which promotes weight gain. Yes, hormonal imbalances play a role in weight gain during menopause, but it is possible to lose weight still. But I am not about to mansplain the challenges of menopause and weight loss. That's why I sat down to talk with the no b.s. nutrition & strength coach Beth Feraco about her experience with weight management while going through menopause.

How sore should you be after training? Yes, delayed onset muscle soreness is normal; however, is it something you should chase during every workout? Give this a listen for the answer.

Life is going to go differently than planned. Maybe your kid will have horrible allergies and possibly a case of pink eye...therefore they don't sleep through the night....and then you end up sleeping about 4 hours...Just a random example 😅The point is that you can train even if things aren't perfect. Listen to the episode and learn how. Find Chris here: IG 👉 bit.ly/3EEA7zV FB Group 👉 bit.ly/3EChqgm 1:1 Coaching 👉 bit.ly/3Kx0kUZ Freebie 👉 bit.ly/3jmai00

Your kids aren't the reason you eat fast. Logistically, they might be why you eat fast, but it's still within your control to slow down and enjoy the food.You most likely won't like hearing what I say, but listen to this episode, and I promise you will slow down & can thank me later.

It doesn't matter if you are 30 or 60; from today onward, you will never be as young as you are. Even with that in the back of your mind, it is easy to expect to be as lean or strong as you were in your early 20s. Is it entirely out of the question? Meh, consider it becomes harder to maintain things as you age. Don't worry this episode dives into moving through those limiting beliefs.
