Hormones begin to fluctuate as you approach menopause resulting in gut microbiome disruption. As the impact to the microbiome becomes more severe you may begin to suffer from one or all of the above disruptions in the quality of your life.
A good diet is critical to helping you thrive as you enter and progress through menopause, but the latest research shows that caring for your gut health goes one further than that and can help to alleviate and even stop some of the menopausal symptoms commonly experienced. If you're lost and not sure where to begin the conversation on starting your health or wellness journey, it ALWAYS begins with the gut.

Along with learning the role gut health plays in immunity, metabolism, inflammation, mood, cognition, sleep quality, and more, you will learn 6 ways that you can support your gut health and begin to experience the following:​
​
-
resetting of hunger & satiety hormones

Establish Healthy Eating Habits
"Create healthy habits, not restrictions."
~ unknown
What would life be like for you if you no longer felt deprived because you're restricting your food, or guilty because you're not? What if you could find peace and freedom around food? What if you could lose weight permanently and have a harmonious relationship with food? Imagine a life where you are in total control of your eating habits and weight.
It's all too common for someone to white-knuckle their way through a restrictive diet, lose weight, get sidetracked (by life...it's ALWAYS happening) and then gain the weight back and then some. I've done it and chances are you have too! The result of this constant struggle—and then giving in or giving up—is a toxic cocktail of shame and self-judgement that makes it feel like it is impossible to change our behavior.
​
Losing weight & keeping it off isn't ONLY about food...it's about your relationship with food! It's about creating habits that allow you to see lasting results from being and staying healthy! It goes beyond weight loss to maintenance to help you experience freedom around food in a way that allows you to sustain healthy eating habits & a healthy weight without restricting!
​
The Whole You Project specializes in helping you change your relationship with food by identifying your unique triggers, modifying behavior (it's not sexy, but this is actually where change happens), and gaining a better understanding of why you eat...it's often not just because you are hungry!
​
Our proven strategy involves:
-
Mapping out your eating habit loops
-
Interrupting habit loops with awareness
-
Understanding cravings...it's not about a lack of willpower
-
Becoming aware of the food/mood relationship
-
Building trust in yourself
-
Meeting needs instead of feeding wants

6 simple tools that will be your strength when you waver
"The magic you are looking for is in the work you keep trying to avoid."
~Dipen Parmar
Let's face it...when it comes to our health and reaching some arbitrary number on the scale we fool ourselves into thinking that the real magic lies in finding shortcuts, a magic pill, the perfect opportunity or the perfect time.
​
NEWS FLASH...You can have all the hacks you want, but if you don't execute the major actions consistently you will get nowhere or quickly return to where you started or worse. Most will use perfectionism as an excuse to not do a thing to improve their health. They will always be waiting for the perfect time, the perfect plan, or some miracle cure.
​
You do not need a perfect plan...you need consistent (not perfect) execution! Success hinges on your consistency & openness to new LIFESTYLE HABITS! Trying to create a new personal reality of a healthier version of you with the same lifestyle and habits that got you here will never work long term. If you continue to think the same way, act the same way, and feel the same way, you will stay the same. In order to create lasting change you have to break the habit of being the old you and become a new, improved version of you.
The Whole You project specializes in providing the tools and the supportive community needed to aid you in this journey. While most are focused on an external outcome (weight loss) we help clients deal with the mindset and internal issues that prevent success from being long term.
We work together with you to identify and overcome:
​
-
all or nothing thinking
-
negative self-talk
-
roadblocks
-
limiting beliefs
-
self-sabotaging tendencies
Adopt a Healthy Lifestyle
Set Achievable
Health Goals
How many times have you set a goal to finally achieve the health results you long for, went all in, overhauled your entire life, only to find yourself not getting to where you wanted to be? Perhaps you found yourself on plan for a period of time and then life happened, you fell off plan and threw in the towel convincing yourself that you must be different than everyone else who succeeds with the same program. Somehow they are just better equipped to succeed than you.
​
What if the approach to setting health goals and actually achieving them is much simpler then you think it is? What if you allowed yourself to keep a safety net and didn't try to overhaul your entire life all at once? What if you took a more loving, gradual approach to your health? What if taking a slower approach meant lasting results?
The Whole You Project gets results by focusing on how behavior change works, the science behind it, and how to get sustainable results. We teach and coach clients how to take one step & then another & then another so that change feels manageable and less overwhelming...even if they fall completely off course (it happens)! Our clients learn how to look at failure as a stepping stone to success, not defeat!
We specialize in reverse engineering BIG goals into smaller, bite size accomplishments that create multiple wins along your journey.
We specialize in teaching:
​
-
Habit change tricks
-
How to habit stack
-
Small changes = BIG RESULTS!
-
The pause
"Everybody is different because
every BODY is different."
~Beverly Diehl
All diets & programs work AND all diets & programs fail. If there was only one right way to get healthy then so many others would be wrong.
The Whole You Project believes that we should all be doing it differently, afterall we are all different shapes, different sizes, with very different personalities. We walk beside you to get the work done, help you to understand how it works, to provide you with the knowledge, skills, and tools to be self-sufficient so that you never need another coach for the rest of your life!
​
Most programs teach everyone the same information, the same way.
This is not effective for everyone.
​
Most programs will immediately throw clients into a major calorie deficit.
The reason they do this is to give you fat loss at all cost and when you gain it back you will blame yourself, come back to them, and pay them more money to get more results. The ultimate goal (and marketing scheme) is to keep you on their program for life, believing it is the only way you can maintain your loss.
​
We take the time to understand your unique personality traits and nature.
We strive to understand your tendencies, motivators, strengths, weaknesses, and stress points. Each person consumes and receives information differently. In order to develop the best nutrition plan for you and a plan you will follow it is important to take all of your uniqueness into consideration.
​
We evaluate your current metabolic state.
A healthy metabolism supplies your body with energy and has a direct impact on your ability to fight infections and moderate inflammation. Staying in a calorie restricted state for too long forces the body to adjust with a slower metabolic rate. Depending on your metabolic state we will begin introducing a variety of diet and lifestyle tips to restore healthy metabolic function. It is not uncommon for a personalized nutrition plan to increase the amount of food consumed in order to see results, curb cravings, reduce over consuming, and/or overcome plateaus and increase energy.
​
We teach you how to listen to your body.
Your body will tell you everything you need to know...if you know how to listen to it. Most do not know how to listen to their bodies. In the beginning we do this for you and along the way we teach you how to listen for yourself.
​
The Whole You Project is NOT most programs.
We take a lasting approach to weight loss with personalized nutrition plans and sustainable lifestyle changes.
