Up to 69% of Menopausal women have sleep issues!

Without sleep your metabolic health may make it impossible to get "fit" and age powerfully.

It doesn't have to happen to you.

By improving THIS one thing, you can optimize body composition and strength.

Wait, What ?!

Look, I know if you’ve struggled with sleep for a while, you feel like you’ve tried it all.

Sleep is a critical part of aging well!

Without sleep, it’s hard to get motivated to exercise to age powerfully.

Sleep deprivation compromises coordination and balance.
So the very things you need to be doing to decrease risk of falls could actually increase your risk of injury!!
After just one night of poor sleep, you are at risk.
Toss and turn all night and you have the reaction skills of someone who’s under the influence!
That means just walking on a treadmill, let alone lifting weights or doing agility ladder drills can be risky.

During sleep you “seal the deal” on the exercise you’ve done. Both your brain and your body are locking in memories and putting in long term storage the events of the day.

The Good and Bad Behind Pillow Talk 

Both BONE DENSITY and MUSCLE depend on quality sleep. Essentially you get more benefits from the fitness routine you have.

To optimize muscle, you need testosterone and growth hormone. Both are released during out deep cycles of sleep.

We also need Cortisol to be at optimal levels. Just one night of poor sleep throws cortisol off, having a negative effect on blood sugar levels the next day. Hormones gherlin and leptin work against you too. That means more cravings, and less satiety.

When you sleep well, you wake refreshed, your muscles have had the opportunity to repair and rebuild and you’re muscle more resilient to the exercise. Let’s not forget, you feel more motivated to exercise again!

In a study on post menopausal women in a weight loss study that I originally shared in my first book, “long sleepers” compared to “short sleepers” lose more weight and more of that weight is fat, preserving lean muscle and metabolism.

Without Sleep… 

The missing hormonal stimulus of optimum testosterone and growth hormone reduce muscle repair and rebuilding.
Cortisol is “off” having a domino effect on hunger and satiety hormones making you want to eat more comfort food.
Motivation tanks as brain fog is worse.

Try these 20 proven strategies for sleeping better and watch things change.

Step -by-step support for sweet dreams is waiting.

Sleep in menopause is no joke. If you're struggling with it and hearing "get more sleep"... it's not helpful!

Once you understand how sleep relates to your hormones, muscle mass and weight loss, you will shift the way you think about sleep and your overall fitness!

I’ve watched clients work out harder as they get older, Instead of seeing progress, they grew more stressed and anxious while mysteriously putting on body fat because they were ghosted by muscle.

Julie had been exercising and eating consciously her entire life. But in her mid-fifties it stopped working so well.

She continued to “go” but she was not enjoying workouts, was stressed, anxious,and mysteriously

putting on belly fat in spite of all she was doing to avoid it.

We tweaked what she was eating, when she was eating it, and how she was exercising so she could increase her sleep volume. She increased her energy within a week and her results continue to tighten up her waistline.

once you understand how sleep relates to your hormones, muscle mass and weight loss, you may soon shift the way you think about getting more zzzz’s!
