The Red Queen & Menopause Weight Loss

BearPal Nutrition & Menopause Macros
SPECIALIZES IN...
I'm in my late 50s and menopausal, so if you are a female, I have been where you are or where you are heading. I know how difficult it can be to balance your physical and health goals with career, family, and other demands. My perspective gives me a unique ability to relate to the gals moving through life’s stages. I have struggled with hypothyroidism, gut dysfunction, and hormone issues. Things can get complicated in midlife. Approaching nutrition, movement, stress reduction, and rest with a functional health approach has changed my life. Through my journey, I learned that just food alone cannot fix your issues.
Whether you are concerned with performance, aesthetics, or longevity (PAL in BearPAL), we assess where you are and work on the underlying stressors that are holding you back. I started with macro counting (Menopause Macros), but the macros have become so much more than just calorie counting.
