Elizabeth helped a client lose three inches in one week without cutting calories by addressing insulin resistance and cortisol patterns with a DUTCH test. For women in perimenopause, managing blood sugar and inflammation through tailored nutrition and light activity like 6,000 daily steps worked better than calorie restriction.
One week into my program, she's down 3 inches in her waist. So the biggest things that I do is we need to look at blood sugar regulation because as we get older, we're more insulin resistant. With my older clients, women 40, 50 beyond, because we're going through perimenopause, I love running a Dutch test to see where your cortisol is trending throughout the whole entire day and your night. Those things matter. So when I'm able to look at, you know, our blood sugar, to see what's actually going on with our hormones. I get my clients so many answers, and then I set up their food and their nutrition and even their workouts. They start getting their hunger cues back. I had a client one week into my program— we just hopped on our call yesterday— she's down 3 inches in her waist. She's like, Elizabeth, my inflammation is dropping. I cut no calories from her. She's eating more, actually. No added cardio. She's like 6K steps, so 5K sedentary, not a lot. This was all through food nutrition practices.
