Struggling with midlife weight gain is AWFUL.

For decades, women have been given the same advice when trying to conquer weight gain during the midlife transition:

EAT LESS, EXERCISE MORE.

Sounds logical, right?

As it turns out, that line of thinking has been proven by modern obesity research to be largely inadequate, especially for women during midlife.

Your weight is controlled, extensively, by hormones, which are influenced dramatically by the quality of the nutrition you consume, and less by the quantity of the food you are eating.

But more importantly, I was determined to solve it.

As a scientist, I knew the answers were out there, and I just had to find them. After much research and trial and error, I'm thrilled to say I have found our solution. It's straight forward, easy to apply, and most of all, totally effective. I've broken it down into a comprehensive course that explains everything.

I can't tell you the joy and relief I experienced when I finally cracked the code.

Utilizing an anti-inflammatory approach to nutrition, which makes the hormones that control hunger, satiety, and determine fat loss/fat gain work in our favor, rather than simple caloric restriction, I can confidently give women in midlife solution that works.

I am delighted when the women who participate return knowing they're back in control and finally feeling like themselves again. It's what we all want really.

Going through menopause and perimenopause brings changes that can be a real struggle to adapt to. Adding seemingly uncontrollable changes to our muscle mass and body weight can make it nearly unbearable.

We deserve to have the necessary science to make decisions about how to take care of ourselves and our bodies properly.

Menopause can now be more of a shift for our bodies and not such a life-altering time.

• Some experience weight gain and in places where it never was before. Some may not be sleeping well.
  
• Some may have mood swings, and it might be affecting their relationships.
  
• Some are likely confused and even angry.
  
• Some might feel alone and that a part of you is lost or broken.
  
• Some may feel that motivation might seem like a thing of the past.
  
  

YOU ARE NOT ALONE. IT IS NOT JUST YOU.

I have heard this exact scenario from my patients and students thousands of times. I went through it myself. We don't talk about it much. Many of us contact our physicians - and they run a few tests, tell you your blood-work is normal, and send you home.

I realized that women need more than a pat on the knee and a speech to "soldier on." They need a real, science-based solution to help them get their lives back.

The Galveston Diet was created to help women in midlife lose the weight they have gained from menopause changes - using an anti-inflammatory approach to nutrition, rather than just calorie counting.

But it has become so much more than that. The Galveston Diet community is now more than 44,000 students strong and growing. Women are not only losing weight - but gaining heath and new habits that last a lifetime.
