Client Snapshot
Name: Maria
Age: 46
Life: Married, works full-time
Program: Metabolic Mastery for Women Over 40 (9 months into the program)
Before: Hot Flashes, Belly Fat, and No Energy
As Maria hit her mid-40s, everything about her body started to feel… off. She was dealing with relentless hot flashes, stubborn belly fat, bloating, and exhaustion she just couldn’t shake.
Even though she was eating what she thought was “healthy,” working out consistently, and watching her calories, the scale wouldn’t move. Worse than that, she felt puffy, inflamed, and irritable.
“I was doing everything I knew how to do — eating less, working out harder — but nothing was working. I was gaining weight, exhausted, and felt like a stranger in my own body.”
She was also dealing with disrupted sleep, bloating after meals, and that frustrating afternoon crash that left her reaching for coffee and snacks just to get through the day.
The Turning Point: Joining Metabolic Mastery
After one too many sleepless nights drenched in sweat and one conversation where she finally admitted “I can’t keep living like this,” Maria decided it was time for a different approach.
That’s when she joined Metabolic Mastery for Women Over 40, a comprehensive program built for women navigating weight gain, hormonal shifts, and metabolic slowdown after 40.
From the start, we focused on what her body needed now — not what worked in her 20s or 30s. Through comprehensive bloodwork and mineral testing, we identified the hidden issues fueling her symptoms and created a customized plan for her metabolism, hormones, and stress response.
What Changed?
The biggest transformation wasn’t about deprivation or doubling down at the gym — it was about getting strategic and working with her body instead of against it.
✅ Started eating a protein-packed breakfast (30-35g protein)
✅ Moved coffee to after breakfast to avoid cortisol spikes
✅ Switched from snacking all day to 3 balanced, satisfying meals
✅ Cut out inflammatory oils and processed foods
✅ Focused on gentle, consistent movement instead of overtraining
✅ Supported her metabolism with targeted supplements
✅ Prioritized stress management and sleep (morning light, red light therapy, magnesium soaks)
“As soon as I started fueling my body properly and focusing on the right things, the weight started coming off. The hot flashes calmed down. I wasn’t dragging through the day anymore. It felt like my body was finally cooperating with me again.”
She even brought her family on board, swapping out processed snacks for real, whole foods and making family breakfast a daily ritual.

“I feel incredible. I’m sleeping, my energy’s back, and my clothes fit again. But more importantly — I feel like me again.”
Maria’s Message to Other Women Over 40
