3 Metabolic Types (action plan)
If you are a woman over 40 and are feeling frustrated and like nothing works anymore OR worse yet you feel broken. I want you to know you are not broken, your body is not broken.
You just need an approach that works with your body and not against it.
We have identified 3 Metabolism Types. Choose which is most like you and follow the action plan!
🧊1️⃣ The Metabolic Iceberg
Diagnosis:Severely Suppressed Metabolism
Your Metabolic Type: The Iceberg
You’ve been disciplined for years — eating clean, working out, doing everything “right.”
But your body has adapted to chronic stress and under-eating by slowing your metabolism down tosurvival mode.
You’re burning fewer calories at rest, your hunger cues are off, and your body is holding onto fat — not because it’s broken, but because it’sprotecting you.
Why Traditional Approaches Fail
Most “fixes” tell you toeat lessandmove more.
That’s like pressing harder on the gas when the tank is empty.
Every new diet or challenge only digs the hole deeper — causing more fatigue, more cravings, and more frustration.
Your 3 Action Steps This Week
1️⃣Increase calories slowly.
Add 200–300 clean calories daily (especially protein + carbs). It feels counterintuitive, but it teaches your body to trust food again.
2️⃣Cut back on cardio.
Replace long cardio sessions with strength training 3–4x/week.
3️⃣Prioritize recovery.
Sleep 7–8 hrs and take 1–2 rest days. Recovery = metabolic repair.
Eat MORE of:
✅ Lean protein (chicken, fish, Greek yogurt)
✅ Slow carbs (quinoa, oats, fruit)
✅ Healthy fats (avocado, olive oil)
Warning Signs You’re Making It Worse:
🚫 You’re skipping meals or staying under 1200 calories
🚫 You’re addingmorecardio to “speed things up”
🚫 You’re ignoring fatigue and pushing through workouts
🔁2️⃣ The Chronic Dieter
Diagnosis:Damaged Metabolic Flexibility
Your Metabolic Type: The Chronic Dieter
You’ve tried it all — Keto, fasting, low-carb, low-fat, clean eating — but every plan works for a while and then stalls.
Your metabolism has lostflexibility: it can’t easily shift between burning carbs and fat, because it’s been trained to survive restriction and inconsistency.
Why Traditional Approaches Fail
Most programs are “one-size-fits-all.” They rely on temporary willpower, not permanent adaptation.
They push quick drops on the scale, not long-term stability — and that’s why the weight always comes back.
Your 3 Action Steps This Week
1️⃣Pick ONE plan and commit.
Stop jumping between methods — stability restores trust.
2️⃣Track consistency, not perfection.
Follow your plan 80% of the time — the body thrives on rhythm.
3️⃣Add structure and accountability.
Support and coaching help retrain consistency faster than willpower ever will.
Eat MORE of:
✅ Protein with every meal
✅ Carbs post-workout (fruit, rice, potatoes)
✅ Balanced meals — stop fearing calories
Warning Signs You’re Making It Worse:
🚫 You start new diets every few weeks
🚫 You under-eat during the week and overeat on weekends
🚫 You fixate on scale weight over energy, strength, and consistency

🌪3️⃣ The Perimenopausal Puzzle
Diagnosis:Hormonal + Metabolic Confusion
Your Metabolic Type: The Perimenopausal Puzzle
You’re not imagining it — your hormonesreally have changed.
Estrogen, progesterone, thyroid, and cortisol are shifting, which affects energy, sleep, cravings, and fat storage (especially around the midsection).
Your metabolism isn’t broken — it’s just being influenced by new hormonal signals that require a smarter, gentler approach.
Why Traditional Approaches Fail
Most fitness and diet plans ignore hormonal balance.
They push calorie deficits, intense workouts, and one-size-fits-all advice that only worsens stress and inflammation — the very things slowing you down.
Your 3 Action Steps This Week
1️⃣Prioritize strength training.
Muscle is your metabolism — lift 3x/week to build tone and balance hormones.
2️⃣Balance blood sugar.
Eat protein + fiber at every meal to reduce cravings and mood swings.
3️⃣Manage stress + sleep.
Walk daily, journal, or meditate. Cortisol control = hormonal balance.
Eat MORE of:
✅ Protein (especially morning meal)
✅ Fiber-rich carbs (berries, veggies, beans)
✅ Magnesium-rich foods (spinach, almonds, dark chocolate)
Warning Signs You’re Making It Worse:
🚫 Skipping meals or doing extended fasting
🚫 Intense HIIT workouts with poor recovery
🚫 Ignoring sleep or stress as “normal”
Why the Metabolic Reset Works for You:
Your type needsBalance + Optimization.

💙You don’t need to fight your body — you just need to reset it.
