We know you're exhausted - from life and from changes that feel out of your control. And we want to help you have some wins.
Here are a few reasons we see client's hard work not paying off:
Following a plan that is too intense for you. Most likely, you've already got a ton going on in this phase of life, so more and more intensity is often NOT the answer to physical change. Too long or frequent fasting windows, extended super low carb diets, excessive cardio or HIIT training, or calorie restrictions that are just too extreme or go on for too long all tend to back fire for women that we work with.
Following a generic plan that wasn't created for your specific health, personality, and lifestyle needs. Sure there are themes, but following a generic plan that isn't based on a personalized and unique understanding of both your historical and current health status (ideally through testing and 1:1 work), opportunities and challenges in your day to day life, and your goals, values, and strengths is likely not going to work for long.
Not having support or direction to know if what you are following is even right for you. Not only do we want to create a plan based on your unique needs, we also want to help support you in learning how to implement that plan and what to watch for. Having wins along the way, even if tiny, can be incredibly helpful in keeping you motivated. In our work we have weekly check in tools, and are constantly evaluating how things are going in order to know whether we're on the right path.
