I want to pause midweek and reset expectations around Week 2. This week is not about: • eating perfectly • cutting carbs • getting it “right” • seeing immediate changes on the scale Week 2 is about regulating blood sugar and that work often feels quieter than what most of us are used to. For women over 40, blood sugar regulation is one of the biggest drivers of: • cravings • energy crashes • fat loss resistance • stubborn belly fat • hormonal stress And it improves when the body receives consistent, predictable signals. That’s why this week we are prioritizing: • eating regularly instead of skipping or pushing through • anchoring meals with protein • avoiding long fasting windows (for now) • supporting muscle with strength-focused movement • reducing stress around food choices If you’re waiting to feel dramatic change, you might miss what’s actually happening. Early progress in Week 2 often looks like: • fewer reactive food decisions• less urgency around eating • more even energy throughout the day • less “all-or-nothing” thinking • feeling calmer in your body Those are not small things. They are signs that insulin sensitivity is starting to improve. So, if your week feels simple, repetitive, or even a little boring that’s not a problem. That’s regulation. This is the work that makes fat loss and metabolic health possible moving forward. Question for all of you (please comment below 👇): Where are you most tempted to override consistency right now, skipping meals, pushing fasting, or doing more instead of stabilizing? Awareness is the goal. 👏

I want to talk about something that comes up with almost every woman I work with, especially women who are impatient with progress or who have taken (or considered taking) a GLP-1. And that’s the difference between weight loss and fat loss. They are not the same thing. Weight loss simply means the scale went down. It does not tell us what was lost. Weight loss can come from: • water loss • muscle loss • inflammation shifts • under-fueling • stress The scale doesn’t care how your body changed, only that it did. Fat loss, on the other hand, is a biological process. It happens when the body feels supported, regulated, and safe enough to let go of stored energy. That requires: • adequate fuel (especially protein) • preserved muscle • managed stress • recovery • consistency over time This distinction becomes even more important with GLP-1s. GLP-1s can absolutely move the scale, often too quickly. But if we only chase scale weight while appetite is suppressed, we can unintentionally: • under-eat • lose muscle • slow metabolism • feel more fatigued • become less healthy than when we started That’s how women end up lighter, but not better. GLP-1s aren’t the problem. Focusing only on the scale without understanding fat loss, muscle, and metabolic health is. For women 40+, muscle is not optional. It protects your metabolism, your hormones, your bones, and your long-term health. That’s why inside this space, especially in Week 1, we are not obsessing over the scale. Right now, we’re doing the work that allows fat loss to happen later: • regulating stress • stabilizing blood sugar • supporting recovery • protecting muscle • lowering inflammation This is what health and longevity actually look like. This Week’s Mindset Shift Instead of asking: “Why isn’t the scale moving yet?” Practice asking: “Am I building a body that can lose fat, protect muscle, and stay healthy long-term?” That question changes how you eat, move, recover and how patient you’re able to be.

If you’ve felt stuck in your body, not broken, just off — this is for you. Most women don’t need more discipline. They need stability, support, and a clear plan. For January, I’m opening a limited number of coaching spots with added support to help women start the year feeling calmer, stronger, and more confident in their body again. This isn’t about quick fixes. It’s about building a foundation that actually lasts. The Transformation We’re Working Toward Women I work with often experience: • Food noise quieting • Steadier energy and fewer crashes • Less inflammation and joint pain • Confidence eating enough again • Weight loss without extremes • Trust in their body again That’s the goal — not just a lower number on the scale. Three Ways to Work with Me in January 🌿 1:1 Concierge Coaching (Only 5 spots available) This is my highest level of support. Includes: - 3 months of full 1:1 coaching - 4th month of coaching FREE (January bonus) - Labs and peptides when appropriate - Personalized nutrition, lifestyle, movement & recovery guidance - Ongoing adjustments and accountability This option is for women who want full support, oversight, and a done-with-you approach. ⚠️ Once the 5 spots are filled, this option closes. ⚠ 🌿 Course + Peptides (Self-Guided Path) This option is for women who want structure, education, and safe access to peptides — without full 1:1 coaching. Includes: - Guided course with clear action steps - Labs and peptides when appropriate - 30 days of coaching support FREE - Then transition to independent implementation with confidence This is ideal for self-motivated women who want guidance without ongoing weekly coaching. 🌿 Coaching Only (No labs or peptides) This option is for women who want support, accountability, and guidance — without any medical layer. Includes: - 3 months of 1:1 coaching - 4th month of coaching FREE (January bonus) - Personalized nutrition, lifestyle, and recovery strategy - Weekly check-ins and adjustments

As we focus on stabilizing the systems this week, which feels hardest right now? • slowing down • eating consistently • resting without guilt • trusting the process • being patient with my body Drop the one that resonates the most in the comments below.

This is just a comment. I feel the support and love from Brenda, but I don’t really feel like I know anyone here otherwise. I don’t feel a sense of community. Is this normal?
