ABOUT LARA
I'm Lara Frendjian, and I help women in peri and post menopause lose weight without dieting by addressing the root metabolic, hormonal, and nutritional imbalances underneath their symptoms.
Nutrition is actually my second career. I was an accountant, a CPA, before I became a Registered Holistic Nutritionist, a Life Coach, and a Root Cause Protocol Practitioner, and the host of the Top 1.5% podcast Master Your Metabolism After 40.
But here is the part that matters. In 2020 I entered my 40s, and suddenly I started going through everything my own clients were going through. I gained weight, I got bloated, I developed eczema, and I had no idea what was happening. I felt like a fraud. I was helping women with this, and here I was silently struggling, thinking, how can I help anyone if I can't figure out my own body? It was a really hard year and a half.
What I finally found was that my body was deeply deficient in minerals and couldn't produce the hormones I needed. So I ran the bloodwork and the hair tissue test, and I did the thing my accountant brain trusted. I looked at the numbers, because the numbers don't lie. I addressed the root, and everything changed. I went through perimenopause and out the other side, and I have not had a single hot flash.
Since then I have helped women like Maria, Natalie, Emily, Kristi, and Anita do the same thing, uncover the real root cause and get their bodies, their energy, and themselves back. What I believe is simple. Your body isn't broken. It's sending you signals. And a slow metabolism isn't aging, it's a mineral deficiency that can be fixed.
