I don't share my story enough, so I'm going to say it here. The reason why I am doing this work and so passionate about educating women in this season of life... Perimenopause blindsided me at 38. I didn't drift into it. I didn't ease into the transition. It arrived suddenly ... and nobody was talking about it the way they are now. I gained weight around my middle almost overnight. I was exhausted in a way that sleep didn't fix. My brain was foggy. I was anxious and I didn't know why. And I kept thinking: am I losing my mind? Is anyone else experiencing this? I spent years figuring it out alone. Doing laps around this situation — trying things, failing, researching, adjusting — before I finally understood what my body actually needed and why. The answer wasn't more discipline. It wasn't an expensive supplement or a stricter diet or a more intense workout routine. It was a smarter strategy. A connected system built for the body I had now... not the one I had at 30. I built UNSTUCK from that decade of figuring it out. It's the system I wish someone had handed me at 38. Science-backed. Lifestyle-first. Practical enough to actually live inside when you have a family, work, commitments and you feel like you are slowly unravelling. You finally get the why behind what's happening in your body, the exact structure to fix it, and someone walking beside you every step of the way. If you're in that place right now, exhausted, frustrated, doing everything right and still feeling like you're losing, I want you to know: this is not permanent. The rules changed. You just need a different map. UNSTUCK is open for enrolment. Six weeks, starting March 30. $147. And because you showed up early, I'm gifting you two bonuses that will have your body already shifting before we even begin. 💛 The 3-Day Cravings + Bloat Reset — a simple jumpstart so you walk into March 30th already feeling better in your body. And the 5-Day Cortisol Reset — my paid program, yours free. Ten years of yoga, nutrition, and meditation distilled into five days of nervous system support that actually works.

We’ve been a little busy over the last week with my 5-Day Spring Reset, and honestly… it was such a good reminder of how much women in midlife need simple structure, not more pressure. Here’s what we kept coming back to all week: - cravings are not a character flaw. They’re often blood sugar + cortisol + under-fueling. - bloat isn’t always “what you ate”. It’s often stress, slower digestion, and fluid imbalance. - your body isn’t broken, but in midlife it does become more honest - your margin for error is razor thin now, which doesn’t mean no fun… it just means we need strategy - stability is what changes everything: protein, hydration, minerals, nervous system support, repeatable meals The biggest takeaway? You do not need to overhaul your whole life to feel better. You just need a few smart levers, used consistently. Because of how well this week landed, I turned the framework into something you can keep using: The Cravings + Bloat Reset System It’s a simple digital planner + tracker + recipe guide to help you reduce cravings, calm bloating, improve energy, and get back on track when life has been a bit… life-y. Think: - 7-day reset map - daily tracker - rescue plan for sticky moments - snack ideas + meal structure - simple, repeatable support for your hormones If you’ve been feeling snacky, puffy, tired, or just a little off, this is for you. You can grab it here: https://www.christieslovestory.com/cravings-bloat-reset-system And tell me below — what’s feeling loudest for you right now? Cravings, bloat, sleep, energy… or the whole buffet? Wishing you a wonderful weekend!

Hey Peri Posse! 👋 I have to tell you about my daughter's 18th birthday. We partied until 2am. Dancing, laughing, staying up way too late with her friends. One of the best nights I've had in years. She bounced out of bed the next morning and went straight to work looking fresh and bright eyed. I did not bounce anywhere for three days. 😅 Puffy, foggy, exhausted, and running on fumes. And honestly? I'd do it again in a heartbeat. But that recovery gap was a very clear reminder of something I talk about all the time. The margin for error in midlife is razor thin. Before you panic...that is NOT a reason to give up the fun. The wine, the late nights, the coffee, the birthday cake. None of that is off the table for us gals 40+. It just means we need a smarter foundation around the good stuff. Here's the short version of what actually helps: 1. Blood sugar first. Protein at every meal, fiber daily, never drink on an empty stomach. When blood sugar is stable, everything else gets easier. 2. Cortisol next. A short walk after meals, an evening nervous system reset before bed, a quiet morning before the chaos kicks in. Small inputs. Big difference. 3. Movement that regulates, not punishes. Strength training, daily walks, restorative movement. Less punishing. More supporting. 4. And sleep. Always sleep. When we're sleeping, everything else feels just a little more doable. Honestly, it's the foundation that holds all of it together. This isn't about perfection. It's about building a foundation strong enough to hold the fullness of your life — 2am dance floors included. I wrote a full blog post on this that goes much deeper into the how and the why behind each of these systems. It's worth a read, especially if you've been feeling like the fun chapter is behind you. Spoiler: it's not. 💛 👉 READ THE FULL POST HERE And if you're ready to go even deeper on cortisol specifically, my 5-Day Cortisol Reset is right here in the community for just $23. Workbook, meditations, a meal plan, cortisol-supportive workouts, and more.
