0:21

journey. Hey there gorgeous. Feeling

0:24

a bit off lately? Trust your intuition.

0:27

Even if test results say you're normal,

0:30

deep down you know something's not quite right.

0:33

The interpretation of these test results may

0:35

be the issue. Could

0:37

it be perimenopause? These

0:39

changes can throw things out of whack. Has

0:42

your confidence taken a hit? Feeling

0:44

anxious or on edge? What about a bit aggro?

0:49

once did, and you're not sure whether your partner

0:52

or your kids like you anymore. It's

0:54

time to take back control. If

0:57

you're struggling with low energy, sleep troubles,

0:59

and weight challenges, despite no

1:01

lifestyle changes, it's natural

1:03

to feel less confident, but don't worry.

1:29

good. This approach is sustainable.

Together, we'll guide you

1:36

2:36

After repair, our patients are energised.

2:39

They sleep through the night. They're on their way

2:42

to their gold weight and feeling comfortable in

2:44

their own skin. They're starting to balance

2:46

their hormones. They have

2:48

a heightened awareness of what needs to

2:50

change. They know what to

2:52

eat and when. They

2:54

have found food freedom and

2:56

they have started developing a roadmap for

2:59

a vital life for good. My

3:02

goal is to empower my patients to reclaim

3:04

their vibrancy and to be the best versions

3:06

of themselves once again. As

3:08

a qualified doctor of traditional Chinese medicine

3:11

with a double degree in acupuncture and herbal medicine,

3:13

I bring together various modalities including

3:16

environmental and nutritional medicine, functional

3:18

medicine, naturopathy and person

3:20

centered life coaching. It's an approach

3:23

rooted in ancient wisdom, tailored

3:25

to each woman's unique modern needs

3:28

and journey. Comprehensive

3:33

support for hormonal replacement therapy

3:35

and beyond. My programs

3:37

cater to individuals regardless

3:39

of their choice to incorporate hormone replacement

3:42

therapy, HRT, or

3:44

alternative methods. Whether

3:46

you have opted for HRT or non HRT

3:48

approaches, my programs offer valuable

3:51

support tailored to your individual

3:53

needs. If you have chosen

3:55

to incorporate HRT into your routine,

3:58

Rest assured that my programs are completely

4:00

safe and can enhance the effectiveness

4:02

of your HRT. The support

4:04

provided will complement your treatment and offer

4:07

additional benefits. For those

4:09

unable to use HRT or who

4:11

have opted for non HRT approaches,

4:13

my programs serve as an ideal

4:16

starting point. They provide

4:18

the necessary support, guidance and

4:20

resources to help you navigate

4:22

your health journey, offering unique

4:24

benefits specific to your situation.

4:27

In addition to my programs, my qualifications

4:30

as a primary healthcare practitioner allow

4:32

me to prescribe a diverse range of treatment

4:34

options. With extensive university

4:37

training, I possess expertise in botanicals,

4:40

nutraceuticals, and psychobiotics. My

4:42

experience includes over 20 years of

4:45

prescribing alongside pharmaceutical medication,

4:47

making me well versed in drug herb interactions.

4:51

My collaboration with esteemed nutraceutical

4:53

companies worldwide and my role in teaching

4:55

general practitioners, GPs and

4:58

pharmacists how to prescribe botanical

5:00

and nutritional medicine alongside their conventional

5:03

prescriptions puts me in the perfect

5:05

position to support you. Rest

5:08

assured that under my care, you're in the

5:10

hands of a highly skilled professional who

5:12

will guide you with expertise, ensuring

5:15

your wellbeing is prioritised. Why

5:20

I do what I do. I

5:23

now feel incredible, but it wasn't

5:25

always like this for me. I want

5:27

to tell you why I do what I do. I

5:30

intimately understand the journey of disease

5:32

within the body. I'm a recovering

5:34

food addict. ​During my teenage

5:36

years, my parents went through a painful divorce

5:38

and I found solace in food. Loneliness

5:41

and pain and the need for comfort drove

5:44

me to rely on food as a source of love and

5:46

security. I became

5:48

the girl who used food to soothe and protect

5:50

herself. I developed an unhealthy

5:52

relationship with food, oscillating

5:54

between restriction and binge eating, plagued

5:57

by feelings of shame and never feeling

5:59

good enough. My path

6:02

towards healing truly began when I immersed

6:04

myself in Asian cultures, particularly

6:07

in India where I delved into Eastern mysticism

6:09

and Ayurvedic medicine. Despite

6:11

this profound journey, my struggle with

6:14

food persisted and I battled with sadness

6:16

and depression. Driven

6:18

by my personal health struggles with chronic fatigue

6:20

syndrome, Hashimoto's

6:23

thyroiditis, polycystic ovarian syndrome, insulin

6:25

resistance and obesity, and a delusionment

6:28

with Western medicine due to the inappropriate

6:30

care and dangerous prescriptions that

6:32

had awful side effects, I

6:35

embarked on a quest to study traditional Chinese

6:37

medicine, metropathy and various

6:39

health related disciplines across the globe.

6:43

I spent time studying in Guangzhou, China,

6:45

and this was an incredible opportunity to see

6:47

ancient medicine used alongside modern

6:49

ways. These

6:51

years of deep learning and self discovery

6:54

and personal development in overcoming my

6:56

own challenges have led me

6:58

to a profound realisation. We

7:02

cannot separate the psychological

7:04

from the physical. As women,

7:07

our health is intrinsically connected to our stories,

7:09

experiences, and traumas. We

7:12

cannot separate our psyche from our soma.

7:14

Everything impacts our biology, our

7:16

social circumstances, our biochemical

7:18

circumstances, and how we feel about

7:21

ourselves and our surroundings. I

7:23

now understand that the most effective path

7:25

to vibrancy is through healing, sealing,

7:27

and repairing your waistline, energy

7:30

levels, sleep. gut metabolism,

7:32

and so much more. Rebalancing

7:35

your hormones and rescuing your metabolic health

7:37

for good. By taking these

7:39

steps, we extend our health span, allowing

7:41

us to feel healthy and vital for

7:44

good. With

7:46

a clinical practice since 2000 and

7:48

learning from exceptional practitioners worldwide,

7:51

I focus on guiding women to live

7:53

beautifully balanced lives and embrace the

7:55

stage of perimenopause. I

7:58

live and teach by the 80/20

8:00

rule and implement practical tools

8:02

designed to support this transformative

8:04

phase. I want you

8:06

to know that it is absolutely possible

8:09

to integrate your story into your

8:11

health journey in a positive way

8:13

and be vital once again. You

8:16

can repair, regain

8:18

balance. Live a fulfilling

8:20

and joyful life and step

8:22

off the roller coaster to experience a more harmonious

8:25

and graceful existence together.

11:33

of your wellbeing. I

11:35

hope this gives you a good overview of what

11:37

you can expect to learn from my program.

11:41

Willpower is absolutely a losing

11:43

game and brings on so much

11:45

shame when we feel like we have failed.

11:50

Willpower is absolutely a losing

11:52

game. We need to stay

11:54

satiated. We need to learn

11:56

how to become metabolically flexible.

12:00

We need to balance our hunger hormones,

12:02

leptin and ghrelin. We

12:05

need to balance our cortisol and melatonin,

12:07

and we need to have enough fiber in

12:09

our gastrointestinal tracts to

12:11

send the message to our brain that we are full

12:14

and satiated. This

12:16

is really an effortless approach

12:18

to reignite your metabolic function

12:21

and reverse exhaustion and ill health.

12:23

So many of the women

12:25

in my programs tell me that initially

12:28

change. Seems so complex

12:30

and confusing, but once they

12:32

actually got to doing it and

12:35

following the power plan, they couldn't

12:37

believe how easy it was to integrate

12:39

my power plan into their lives. I

12:42

teach you how to become unconsciously

12:44

competent with regards to the

12:46

power plan I have created for you,

12:49

and we will get all of

12:51

this working for you in as little as eight weeks

12:54

before we get to the answers, I would

12:56

love you to do 2 things. I

12:59

would love you to make sure that your sound is turned

13:01

on. And I would love for you to

13:03

have a pen and paper handy to take notes

13:05

because part of what I'm going to teach you today

13:08

is going to help you solve your sluggish metabolism

13:11

and your stubborn body fat, particularly

13:14

around the middle. Perimenopause

13:16

is a tricky time. It can be

13:18

a hormonal rollercoaster and there

13:20

has never been a time in your life that Where

13:22

you have been more inflamed with less energy

13:25

due to the energy crisis and a decrease in

13:27

progesterone. We're going to get

13:29

into all of this and we're going to get into

13:31

why your brain no longer uses glucose in a

13:35

way that it once did. Not

13:40

quite right. Does

13:42

something feel a little NQR?

13:45

Does any of this ring true for you? It

13:48

seems like something might be feeling a little off

13:50

or not quite right, and you're unsure

13:53

of the cause or what it could be. Even

13:55

though you've been told that everything is fine and that your

13:57

test results are normal, deep

14:00

down you know that something is not quite right.

14:02

Something is not in alignment. It's

14:05

possible that you're experiencing perimenopause,

14:08

a phase that can bring about these changes.

14:11

If you find yourself struggling with dwindling

14:13

energy levels, difficulty sleeping,

14:15

anxiety, challenges

14:17

reaching your ideal weight, despite

14:20

not making any significant changes to your diet

14:22

or exercise routine, you

14:24

start to increase the weight around the middle

14:26

and it just seems to get bigger and bigger. It's

14:29

understandable that your current physical state

14:31

may have left you feeling a little bit

14:34

less confident. Combined

14:36

with hormonal imbalances and a sense of being

14:38

restricted by various diets, you

14:40

may be yearning for a path to rejuvenate

14:42

your life. You deserve

14:44

to regain control over your diet,

14:46

energy, hormones, and your life

14:49

without the constraints of restrictive diets.

14:52

It's time to reach a state of well being

14:54

that allows you to feel confident and empowered

14:56

once again. If

14:59

you're ready, let's embark on this transformational

15:01

journey together. If you've been

15:03

trying really hard to watch what you eat

15:05

most days. And most days you just end

15:07

up eating kind of diet

15:10

food or a little bit of yogurt and some fruit

15:12

and nuts for a snack, and

15:14

you just try to stick to salads and

15:16

protein at night but nothing is shifting.

15:18

You're petrified of going on holiday or

15:21

going to family dinners or work trips or any

15:23

other situation where food is out of your control.

15:26

Or you do pretty well for a couple of days,

15:29

but then you completely fall off the rails

15:31

and you're starving because you haven't really eaten at

15:33

the right time or in the right way to

15:35

support your biochemistry. And it

15:37

really does feel like your biochemistry

15:39

is working against you and not for you.

15:43

You feel disappointment, shame, frustration

15:46

about your repeated weight loss

15:48

failures. You know that you should exercise,

15:50

but you're so exhausted and unmotivated.

15:53

Let's get you back on track. None

15:55

of this is normal just because it's common.

15:59

It isn't normal. None of this

16:01

is a good relationship with food, exercise,

16:04

or your beautiful body. This

16:06

program absolutely is for you

16:08

if you have anywhere between 10 and 20

16:11

kilograms of stuck body fat

16:13

that you would like to lose forever. You

16:15

feel too tired and exhausted every

16:18

day to exercise or to eat right.

16:20

You have absolutely no willpower and

16:23

you want to permanently drop at

16:25

least two pants sizes and fit into your

16:27

old wardrobe and not to have to go

16:29

out and buy a new one. The

16:35

repair program could be an ideal fit

16:37

for you if... you

16:39

are ready to invest in yourself and

16:41

your transformation. You

16:44

are interested in adopting a holistic

16:46

approach to your perimenopausal biochemistry,

16:49

psychology, and social experience without

16:52

the necessity of counting calories

16:54

or strictly measuring your macros

16:56

and micros. You are ready to

16:58

adopt a positive mindset. Emphasising

17:01

self love and empathy towards yourself

17:03

and others in your journey. You

17:06

appreciate the value of occasional indulgences

17:09

and understand they do not equate to failures,

17:11

but are part of a balanced life. You

17:14

aim to nourish your body with a full range

17:16

of macro and micronutrients, rejecting

17:19

the idea of deprivation. Your

17:22

goals extend beyond just weight loss, encompassing

17:24

overall vitality, hormone

17:27

health and long term wellness. You

17:29

believe in the process and are open to experiencing

17:32

its potential benefits. You

17:34

embrace a compassionate approach towards yourself,

17:37

your coach, your peers, fostering

17:40

an environment of love, kindness, and patience.

17:43

you're open to guidance and willing to be coached,

17:47

seeing this as a constructive part of your

17:49

journey. You are

17:51

patient and do not expect instantaneous

17:54

results, understanding that sustainable

17:56

change is a gradual process. By

17:59

aligning with these principles, you are setting yourself

18:01

up for a positive experience with the repair

18:03

program, leading to potentially

18:05

transformative results in your overall

18:08

health and well being. The

18:11

Repair program may not be suitable

18:13

for you if you prefer

18:15

to count calories or focus on measuring

18:17

macros and micros, you're

18:19

inclined to be overcritical and hard on yourself

18:22

and others. You view occasional

18:24

indulgences as failures. You

18:27

have a desire to deprive yourself of essential

18:29

macro and micro nutrients. Your

18:32

primary focus is solely on weight

18:34

loss rather than overall vitality

18:37

and hormone health. You are

18:39

not open to the process and don't believe

18:41

in its effectiveness. You struggle

18:44

with approaching the program and your coach

18:46

and fellow sisters with love, kindness

18:48

and patience. You are

18:50

not open to being coached and guided

18:52

and you expect an overnight success.

18:55

It is so important to find a program

18:57

that aligns with your goals and values.

19:00

If this program is not for you,

19:02

I wish you well on your journey. My

19:07

vision for creating this program My

19:11

vision for creating this program stems from a personal journey

19:13

that resonates deeply with the challenges faced

19:15

by perimenopausal women. I've

19:17

struggled with symptoms and diseases such

19:20

as thyroid issues, autoimmune conditions

19:22

and insulin resistance, which led

19:24

to weight gain and feeling of being trapped

19:27

in a fat storing state. These

19:29

experiences mirror what countless women

19:31

experience during perimenopause, so

19:33

clinically I recognised them straight away.

19:36

No matter what I did, it wouldn't change.

19:39

I've tried it all, I promise you. Breaking

19:42

free from industry misconceptions.

19:45

The industry bombards us with fad

19:47

diets, special lotions, potions,

19:49

and the promises of quick fixes. We're

19:51

made to believe that restrictive eating, excessive

19:54

exercise, and following special menus

19:56

will lead to success. But how

19:58

many times have we tried these approaches, only

20:00

to be left disappointed? It's

20:02

time to break free from these misconceptions

20:05

and discover what truly works. When

20:08

I was at university, one of my professors said to

20:10

me, Be the practitioner that

20:12

you needed. This was some

20:14

of the best advice that I have ever

20:16

received. Becoming the

20:18

practitioner that I needed as a little girl.

20:21

I'm passionate about empowering and educating

20:24

women so that they can understand how to work

20:26

with their biochemistry rather than

20:28

against it. Rest assured,

20:30

my program is not some flimsy

20:32

superficial approach. It is grounded

20:34

in hardcore scientific evidence and

20:37

randomised control trials, with 23

20:39

years of clinical practice and

20:42

the success stories of numerous women.

20:44

Please have a look at the incredible testimonials

20:47

on my Wall of Love at

20:49

www. thehollandclinic.

20:51

com. I know it works.

20:54

I bring this expertise to you now, extending

20:57

an invitation to embark on a transformative

20:59

journey together. Let me be clear,

21:02

this is not an easy path. There are no

21:04

quick fixes or silver bullets. I'm

21:06

not reinventing the wheel, I'm simply making

21:08

it work. Just as I have put

21:10

in years of dedicated work, you must

21:12

be willing to invest effort into this program

21:15

to achieve the results you desire. While the

21:17

information may seem complex, you don't need

21:19

a PhD to understand it. I'm

21:22

here to translate the scientific evidence into

21:24

practical knowledge for you. Additionally,

21:26

I firmly believe in the inseparability

21:29

of the mind and the body. Understanding

21:31

how stress and life experiences impact

21:33

your hormones and overall well being is crucial.

21:37

This is where the integration of health coaching

21:39

and life coaching becomes invaluable. Fostering

21:42

a strong and supportive relationship between

21:44

you and I. I genuinely

21:47

care about my patients and their transformations.

21:50

I want each woman to receive the care and

21:52

attention she deserves, especially

21:54

when she may feel unheard or gaslit

21:56

by the medical system. By creating

21:59

this program, I aim to fill the gap,

22:01

providing the testing, care and support

22:04

that is essential for optimal well being.

22:06

Your journey towards reclaiming your health begins

22:09

here. Together, we will navigate

22:11

the challenges, uncover the solutions

22:13

and empower you to experience the

22:16

transformation you so desperately

22:18

deserve. Too

22:20

busy to prepare nourishing food. Too

22:23

tired to even think about what to repair.

22:27

Too tired to exercise, even though you

22:29

know that you should. Have there been times

22:32

where you've bowed out of social occasions or events

22:34

or parties because you were worried about

22:37

what you were going to eat or how you look? Or

22:39

the fact that nothing in your wardrobe looks good or feels

22:42

good anymore? Or you were worried about

22:44

the fact that pictures might be taken? Are

22:47

there days when you're sad or ashamed

22:49

or surprised by how you look and feel? Does

22:52

it seem like you've not lost sight of

22:55

that energetic, adventurous, beautiful, free

22:57

person that you once were in your body? Are

22:59

there days where you shame yourself for

23:01

rummaging through the pantry for sweet or crunchy

23:03

snacks, even though you're trying to

23:06

be losing weight? Does it even seem like

23:08

you have absolutely no willpower and you're destined

23:10

to be stuck at this weight forever? Even

23:12

though you don't recognise yourself. And you've had

23:14

this middle banding for far too long, and it

23:16

just seems to be getting bigger and bigger. Are

23:20

you tired of living your life on a diet, or

23:22

thinking about which one to try next? And

23:24

you just want to eat normally. Have there been times

23:27

when you've succumbed to mindless eating, and joylessly

23:29

punishing yourself in the gym, or deprived

23:32

yourself to make up for it? You no longer trust

23:34

your body anymore. It has changed.

23:36

And this is absolutely not your fault. There is

23:39

a very real energy crisis

23:41

in perimenopause. Your brain,

23:43

due to the fluctuating and low estrogen,

23:46

no longer uses glucose in a way that it

23:48

once did. We must teach you how

23:50

to become metabolically flexible so

23:52

that you can regain your health once again.

23:57

In perimenopause, we need to become

24:00

metabolically flexible. We

24:03

need to become metabolically flexible in

24:05

order for us to unstuck our

24:07

broken metabolism. We

24:09

need to be able to use an alternative fuel

24:12

source to support our brain and body.

24:14

We need to be able to use glucose and

24:16

fat as fuel. Waking

24:19

up early to absolutely smash yourself

24:21

in the gym and depriving yourself

24:23

of the calories that you so desperately need.

24:25

Only makes this problem worse when

24:28

you are in a fat store, particularly

24:32

when you have insulin resistance. It

24:34

is absolutely impossible to

24:36

lose weight until you correct the insulin

24:38

resistance. Our

24:41

bodies in perimenopause and particularly

24:43

our brains need to access

24:45

ketones for fuel. Some

24:47

of the time extending your

24:49

overnight fast from 8 to 12

24:51

hours can be enough for starters.

24:55

We need to be metabolically flexible,

24:58

strict dieting and extreme exercise

25:00

during perimenopause contribute to

25:02

your body's confusion. When

25:05

we are in a fat store as opposed to

25:07

a fat burn state, your body doesn't

25:10

actually know what to do with the fuel you

25:12

eat and isn't able

25:14

to give it to you so that you feel energy.

25:17

What your body does is continue to store

25:19

the fuel. When

25:21

we are not metabolically flexible in perimenopause

25:24

and we have things like insulin resistance or

25:27

underactive thyroids, we feel

25:29

extremely exhausted. We

25:31

are in an energy crisis a lot of the

25:33

time during perimenopause. No

25:35

wonder we feel so lousy. In

25:38

addition, we have aging parents or teenage

25:40

children, possibly big careers.

25:43

We have lots going on. So we

25:45

also have high levels of cortisol. High

25:48

levels of cortisol and insulin resistance

25:50

will ensure that we stack

25:52

on the weight around the middle, and

25:54

it'll just continue to get bigger and bigger.

25:58

You will continue to feel tired and hungry,

26:00

and you will crave junk food just to get

26:02

you through. You'll try to do your

26:04

best to eat a beautiful, healthy meal, but because

26:07

you're metabolically inflexible, your cells

26:09

won't be able to actually achieve or receive

26:11

that fuel. The fuel will go

26:13

straight into storage because you're in a

26:15

fat store as opposed to a fat burn state,

26:18

and you will go back to feeling tired and hungry.

26:21

And generally, if you have an insulin

26:23

resistance, you crave sweet things after

26:27

your meals. You can often see skin tags on your body and

26:29

hard, thick, crusty, yellow skin

26:31

underneath your feet. If

26:34

this is you, my repair program is

26:36

here to help you transform. The

26:38

good news is that I teach women to

26:40

fast in a supported way to

26:42

rescue them from the energy crisis in

26:45

perimenopause. You won't be

26:47

hungry, and the message that you are sending

26:49

to your brain and your body is that you

26:51

are receiving breakfast, keeping stress

26:53

hormones in check. I

26:56

have looked at all of the evidence and have created this

26:58

incredible program just for you. Imagine

27:01

your body is like a car, and it usually

27:03

runs on gasoline, which is like glucose,

27:06

but sometimes you don't have any gas in your

27:08

tank, so you're fasting or restricting

27:10

carbs, for example, so your body

27:12

switches to a different fuel source, stored

27:15

fat. When your body burns

27:17

fat, it creates something called ketones,

27:19

which are like super fuel for your brain and body

27:22

in perimenopause. The study

27:24

that I looked at shows how fasting and ketones

27:26

can be good for your health, like how

27:28

eating fruits and veggies are good for you. But

27:31

don't worry, you don't have to give up on the pizza forever,

27:34

and this is not a ketogenic diet. Just

27:37

remember that sometimes it's good to

27:39

give your body a break, and let

27:41

it use its own stored energy instead.

27:44

The title of the study is Fasting,

27:46

Molecular Mechanisms and Clinical Applications,

27:49

authors Fung J. et al. Journal

27:53

Cell Metabolism, 2016 You

27:59

will not be hungry. I

28:01

have personally guided hundreds of women

28:03

through my program in the last 23

28:05

years in clinical practice in Melbourne,

28:08

Australia. My program is

28:10

not restrictive. You

28:12

will not be hungry. I will

28:14

teach you to get into a fat burn

28:16

as opposed to a fat store state

28:19

and you are going to grow wings, my friend.

28:22

Conventional restricting and conventional

28:24

diet approaches do not work. for

28:27

perimenopausal biochemistry. With

28:29

my program, you will be satiated.

28:32

We will balance leptin and ghrelin. Ghrelin

28:35

is the hormone that makes you pick up your fork

28:37

and leptin is the hormone that makes you put it

28:39

down. When leptin and ghrelin

28:41

are balanced, you have true

28:44

hunger and true satiated signals,

28:47

so you won't succumb to mindless boredom

28:49

snacking. You will have a nutrient

28:51

dense, rich blood supply that supports

28:54

your body, your mind, and your brain.

28:56

And you won't be binging on sugary

28:58

carb junk foods to get you

29:00

the energy that you require. We

29:03

will get you into this incredible fat burn state

29:06

where your brain will access the fuel that it

29:08

needs. The brain fog will disappear

29:10

and the fat will start to melt away.

29:13

And you can once again feel like you have incredible

29:15

energy levels. to get you through the day

29:18

and you can start fitting back into those clothes

29:20

that you so love very much. And this

29:22

allows you to have a sustainable, slow

29:25

weight loss. Reduction

29:28

in body weight and body fat. I'm

29:30

really not concerned about the weight on the scales.

29:33

I really am more concerned about your hip

29:35

to waist ratio. And I teach

29:37

you exactly how to measure that inside

29:40

my VIP vitality green room.

29:43

And we look at how you feel in your clothing.

29:45

But remember, this is a sustainable

29:48

weight loss program that will keep you vital

29:50

for the rest of your days. And

29:52

this is not about dieting or crash

29:55

dieting your way to temporary

29:57

fat loss to get a quick win. This

30:00

is a lifestyle modification and I'm here to tell

30:02

you that it is simple. Once

30:04

you understand how it works, no

30:06

miserable or fussy dieting or crazy

30:08

exercise. I absolutely

30:11

know that this works because I've supported

30:13

so many women in my clinic in Melbourne, Australia

30:16

over the last 23 years, and I

30:18

myself live by my protocol.

30:21

I live in the 80 20 way. Every

30:24

now and then, I'll fine tune it, and

30:26

I'll do it for 100% of the time

30:28

for a couple of weeks. For example,

30:31

when you've had a couple extra treats over the Christmas holidays?

30:34

But it is a proven roadmap that works.

30:37

And it hasn't always been this way for me. I

30:40

am now 47 years old. And

30:42

I'm somewhere between a size 8 and a size 10,

30:45

depending on which country you're in. Like

30:48

I said before, I'm in Melbourne, Australia, and

30:50

I feel comfortable in my own skin, and

30:52

I have incredible energy levels that get me

30:54

through the day and the night. I

30:57

have an incredible life, and this protocol certainly

30:59

works. I'm somebody

31:01

that had insulin resistance, metabolic

31:03

syndrome, Hashimoto's thyroiditis

31:05

and I was obese and had cystic acne and

31:08

I now live an incredibly beautiful life

31:10

with a gorgeous relationship with food, even

31:13

though I'm a recovering food addict. I

31:16

hear women so often in my clinic in Melbourne,

31:18

Australia say that they have

31:20

tried absolutely everything. So

31:23

if this is you, if you have tried

31:25

every pill, potion, hack, punishment

31:27

and program, and you have tried

31:30

exercising even more, If

31:32

you've tried exhibiting great feats

31:34

of willpower, and if you've tried to restrict food

31:36

even more, even though you were so very

31:39

hungry. And if you have tried

31:41

all the tips and the tricks that used

31:43

to work for you in your twenties, and nothing

31:45

is working for you now. this

31:47

program is most definitely for you.

31:51

I'm also here to tell you that you have

31:53

not tried everything. What

31:57

do you receive when you join Repair?

32:01

33:15

bonus offers is the fact that you get access

33:18

to our exclusive VIP vitality

33:20

green room Simplifying complex

33:22

questions. Here are the answers

33:25

to the questions that I touched on at the beginning

33:27

of the webinar. In

33:29

this brief overview, I'll provide some

33:31

basic answers to these complex questions.

33:34

We'll explore them in greater depth within

33:36

the program, as there is much

33:39

more to uncover. Rest assured,

33:41

this is a highly intricate matter with

33:43

numerous facets to explore. There

33:45

are so many detailed

33:48

answers to these questions. I'm trying

33:50

to give you a basic breakdown here.

33:53

We will also discuss so many more

33:55

aspects to these questions and answers within

33:58

the repair program. Number

34:00

1: how can I reignite my slow

34:02

metabolism? You

34:04

can reignite your slow metabolism by making

34:07

positive changes to your lifestyle using

34:10

fasting-mimicking/intermittent fasting,

34:12

and time restricted eating. Incorporating

34:15

regular physical activity. Eating

34:17

a balanced diet with adequate protein. Managing

34:20

stress levels, reducing cortisol

34:23

and getting enough sleep. And increasing

34:25

your melatonin levels with plant

34:27

based botanical medication.

34:29

Number 2: what are the

34:31

3 essential factors that

34:33

women over 40 must know

34:36

to lose weight and increase energy? The

34:40

3 essential factors for women

34:42

over 40 to lose weight and increase

34:44

energy are 1) proper nutrition 2)

34:47

fasting-mimicking and 3) allowing you to be in a fat

34:49

burn as opposed to a fat store state.

34:52

This gets you out of insulin resistance,

34:55

corrects your metabolic issues for good.

34:58

Regular exercise and hormone balancing are important.

35:02

It's important to have a balanced diet and engage

35:04

in both cardiovascular exercise and

35:06

strength training to ensure that your hormones

35:08

are functioning optimally. Number

35:11

3: how can I break free from my

35:13

current state and create a vibrant

35:15

version of myself? You

35:19

can break free from your current state

35:21

by adopting a growth mindset and

35:23

taking proactive steps towards self improvement.

35:27

This may include: -setting goals, -seeking

35:29

support from professionals, -enhancing

35:32

self care practices, and -embracing

35:34

new experiences. I am a

35:36

qualified life coach and have experienced

35:38

obesity. chronic fatigue,

35:40

polycystic ovarian syndrome, Hashimoto's thyroiditis

35:43

and more. I understand what

35:45

it is like to feel unwell and exhausted

35:48

and also have the university qualifications

35:51

to support you to better health.

35:53

You don't need to do this alone. Number

35:57

4: What are the biggest mistakes perimenopausal

35:59

women make when it comes to hormones,

36:02

metabolism, mood, and energy

36:04

levels? Some

36:06

of the biggest mistakes perimenopausal

36:08

women make include -neglecting

36:11

hormone balance,- relying

36:13

on crash diets or deprivation or

36:15

excessive exercise, -not

36:17

balancing blood glucose, -leaning

36:20

on sugary or empty carbohydrates

36:22

for a quick energy hit, only

36:24

to crash later on, -Not

36:27

eating enough and not eating enough protein.

36:30

-Not managing stress levels in cortisol

36:32

and not prioritising themselves,

36:35

-Sufficient sleep and adequate melatonin

36:37

levels. These mistakes can have

36:40

negative effects on -hormone balance, -metabolism,

36:43

-mood and -energy levels. Number

36:47

5: How do hormones change during perimenopause?

36:50

And what practical steps can I take

36:52

to transition smoothly? Protecting

36:56

progesterone and supporting hormonal balance.

36:59

First and foremost, it is crucial

37:02

to prioritise botanical interventions

37:04

and adopt a healthy lifestyle to

37:06

safeguard progesterone levels. By

37:09

ensuring the optimal functioning of the gastrointestinal

37:11

tract and providing support to the liver,

37:14

we can effectively utilise estrogen

37:17

and eliminate it from the body once it has

37:19

served its purpose. Hormones

37:21

fluctuate during perimenopause leading to

37:23

symptoms like hot flushes, mood

37:25

changes, dry vaginas, and weight

37:27

gain. Practical steps to transition

37:30

smoothly may include -managing stress,

37:33

-adopting a healthy diet, -engaging

37:35

in regular exercise, and -getting sufficient

37:37

sleep, just for starters.

37:40

Number 6: Can I rebalance and optimise my hormones

37:43

for better overall well being?

37:46

Yes, you can rebalance and optimise

37:49

your hormones for better overall well being.

37:51

This may involve lifestyle

37:53

changes, dietary modifications,

37:56

stress management techniques,

37:59

botanical, nutraceutical and probiotic

38:02

medicine. Number 7: Why

38:04

may traditional dieting and exercising

38:07

harder not be effective

38:09

during perimenopause? Traditional

38:13

dieting and exercising harder may not

38:15

be effective during perimenopause because hormonal

38:17

changes can affect how the body

38:19

responds to these interventions. It's

38:22

important to adopt perimenopause.

38:30

Raising cortisol levels will only further

38:32

decrease your progesterone levels, and

38:34

we need to do everything in our power to support

38:36

our progesterone production. Cortisol

38:39

will further increase weight around the middle

38:41

and thighs and increase

38:43

insulin resistance. Number 8:

38:45

How do factors like insulin and cortisol

38:48

impact my body during perimenopause?

38:51

Factors like insulin and cortisol can

38:53

influence your body during perimenopause. Insulin

38:57

resistance can contribute to weight gain

38:59

and difficulty in losing weight, while

39:01

high cortisol levels can lead to increased

Harnessing the power of fasting mimicking.

39:48

Fasting mimicking has incredible benefits

39:50

including making you feeling fuller for longer,

39:53

boosting your brain power and sending signals

39:55

to your brain that you are satiated.
