Here's what nobody told me.
For years it was fasted cardio, eating less, and watching my body change anyway. Perimenopause hit around 47 and nothing I'd always done worked anymore. I didn't tell my husband. I didn't tell my closest friends. I quietly started a wellness treatment and figured it out on my own — the hard way.
"I stopped fighting my hormones and started working with them. That's the whole shift."
This isn't a diet. It's the exact 12-week protocol I used on myself, rebuilt as a step-by-step drip course — using a wellness treatment as a tool, not a shortcut, and strength training so the number on the scale isn't the only thing that changes.
