Helping women over 40 balance their hormones and boost their metabolism so they can lose weight, have more energy, sleep better, reduce joint pain, and feel better in their body again. I help peri-menopausal to post-menopausal women learn how to eat to balance their hormones and boost their metabolism so they can lose weight and have more energy.

Does it feel like what used to work in your 20s and 30s…just isn’t working anymore?

If you’re a woman in your 40s or 50s, you’re not imagining it. Midlife hormones, stress, poor sleep, and a busy life can all make weight loss and energy feel so much harder.

That’s where coaching comes in. Instead of another “just eat less and move more” plan, we focus on YOU:

* Building simple, sustainable habits around food, movement, sleep, and stress
* Improving your mindset and relationship with food
* Giving you clear, personalized nutrition guidance for perimenopause and beyond
* Providing support so you don’t have to figure it out alone
* Offering accountability to keep you on your path

If you’re tired of starting over every Monday and want a calmer, more confident approach to food and your body in midlife, I’d love to support you.

I’m a certified holistic nutritional consultant and menopause coaching specialist, using Metabolic Balance to help women 40+ ditch diets, support their hormones, and feel comfortable in their body again.

If you’re ready for support, you can book a free 30‑minute call at the link in my bio and we’ll talk through what’s going on and whether my coaching is a good fit for you.

3 reasons why working with a Metabolic Balance Coach will help you lose weight quickly - even in perimenopause and post menopause.

✨ Personalized to YOUR biology - Your meal plan is created using over 30 blood markers, so it’s designed specifically for your body’s unique needs

If you’re in perimenopause or postmenopause and feel like your body isn’t playing by the old weight-loss rules anymore, this is for you.

One of the biggest reasons women feel stuck with weight loss in perimenopause and postmenopause is that they’re still following old diet rules that don’t work for their bodies anymore.

Things like:
* “It’s just calories in vs. calories out.”
* “If it’s healthy, it works for everyone.”
* “I should just eat less.”

The truth? Your hormones, stress, sleep, insulin response, and food choices all change how your body uses calories and stores fat. This makes it hard to know what is the right “diet” for you.

Maybe your friend did great on keto or intermittent fasting, but you actually gained weight.

Inside the Metabolic Balance® approach, the focus is on finding the right foods and structure for your body so weight loss feels more doable. Your blood values, health conditions, medications, and measurements are all taken into account to create a plan that’s truly unique to you.

If you’re doing “all the things” and the scale still isn’t moving, comment BALANCE or send me a DM and I’ll share how this might look for you.

Women feel stuck with weight loss in menopause for one big reason… they think it has to be complicated.

It doesn’t.

These are some of the simple staples I keep on hand:

* Eggs → quick protein plus brain-supportive choline.
* Yogurt with live cultures → protein plus probiotics for an easy breakfast that supports gut health.
* Frozen berries → an easy yogurt topping or smoothie add-in, high in antioxidants and fibre.
* Apples → a delicious source of fibre and nutrients.
* Canned salmon & sardines (with skin & bones) → rich in omega-3s (EPA & DHA) and calcium.
* Seasonal vegetables (when possible) → fresher, more affordable, and often more nutrient-dense.
* Healthy fats (EVOO, ghee, coconut oil, avocados, and olives) → help meals feel more satisfying and support overall hormone function.
* Herbs and spices → add flavour and beneficial plant compounds.

The goal isn’t perfection. It’s having simple, supportive foods available so you’re not constantly trying to figure it out in the moment.

Inside my Metabolic Balance® program, we focus on structure and personalization so eating well becomes much more automatic.

Feeling overwhelmed trying to eat healthy, exercise, fix your sleep, and balance your hormones… and still not seeing results?

This is where so many women get stuck. There’s too much information and not enough clarity. So you keep trying different things, hoping something will finally work.

The Metabolic Balance approach simplifies everything. When your plan is based on your blood work and you’re supported every step of the way, you stop guessing and start making real progress before summer even arrives.

If you’re in perimenopause and dinner feels like another thing you don’t have the bandwidth for — this one’s for you.

This Broccoli & Cabbage Chicken Skillet takes one pan and 25 minutes. That’s it.

Here’s why it works for hormone balance and midlife weight loss:

* Broccoli and cabbage (both cruciferous) support healthy estrogen metabolism — which helps your body process estrogen more efficiently. This matters when estrogen is high relative to progesterone, a common shift in perimenopause that can show up as bloating, mood swings, belly fat, and heavy periods.
* Lean chicken gives you the protein you need to maintain muscle, stay full, and keep blood sugar stable — all critical during perimenopause.
* Ginger and garlic help reduce inflammation and support digestion.
* One meal like this won’t fix everything. But meals like this, repeated, quietly shift how your body holds weight and how you feel in your day.

Broccoli & Cabbage Chicken Skillet�2 servings | 25 minutes
Ingredients:
* 1 1/2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
* 1/2 cup red onion, chopped
* 12 oz extra lean ground chicken
* Sea salt and black pepper, to taste
* 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
* 1 garlic clove, minced
* 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
* 4 cups coleslaw mix
* 1 cup broccoli, chopped into florets
* 1/4 cup basil leaves, chopped (plus extra for garnish)
Directions:
1. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and sauté 2–3 minutes, until softened.
2. Add the chicken, breaking it up as it cooks. Cook about 5 minutes, until no longer pink. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Add the vinegar and cook 1 more minute. Stir in the garlic and ginger; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
4. Add the coleslaw mix and broccoli. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the coleslaw has cooked down and the broccoli is tender, about 5 minutes.
5. Stir in the basil. Divide between plates, garnish with extra basil, and enjoy.

Most women don’t know this — and it changes everything.

Menopause isn’t the finish line. It’s just a date.

So true! Mindset is key!

I was already eating healthy. Whole foods. No junk. And my weight kept creeping back up anyway.

I couldn't figure it out.

Then I realized: I was snacking constantly. Dark chocolate, nuts, fruit. Nothing "bad." But every single bite was raising my insulin. And insulin is a fat storage hormone. My body never got a chance to actually burn fat.

Once I understood that, everything shifted. My weight has stayed consistent ever since.

If I were starting over in perimenopause, here's exactly what I'd do:

• Stop snacking between meals. Your body needs that gap to lower insulin and burn stored fat.
• Make sure every meal includes protein, complex carbs, healthy fats and fibre so you stay full and stabilize your blood sugar.
• Never eat carbs alone. Even healthy ones. Pairing them properly changes how your body responds.
• Focus on whole, unprocessed foods most of the time.
• Watch added sugar. Even small amounts throughout the day keep insulin elevated.
• Pay attention to how your body responds, not just what worked for someone else.
• Choose consistency over perfection, every time.

Most women I work with are already eating healthy. They're just missing a few key pieces that make it actually work in midlife.

If you want a simple place to start, I created a free 7-day meal plan called The Menopausal Weight Loss Reboot. You can download it here: https://www.nutritionwithjen.com/menopausal-weight-loss
