Have you lost confidence in programs that don’t work for emotional eaters?

I was in my mid 40’s and suddenly I was experiencing fatigue, unsatisfiable cravings and could not lose weight. I was struggling emotionally, and used food for comfort and was frustrated that nothing really worked! I decided to get a glucose tolerance test and discovered I had the onset of insulin resistance, common in perimenopausal women and high performing men and women. Also, for the first time my cholesterol had gone up. It was a tap from the universe that I needed to change!

I didn’t feel listened to by the doctor who recommended I only eat fruit for breakfast which I knew would not sustain me, and that I would be hungry soon after.

This is when I knew I needed to solve the problem of balancing blood sugar with nutrition, lifestyle and emotional eating so I could be empowered around my health. I also wanted simple meals as I am highly driven person with a busy lifestyle.

I thought I had a healthy diet, but when I really looked, I was eating a lot of hidden sugar, drinking too much caffeine and wine which was causing stress on my body. I had also not knowingly entered peri-menopause where neither a doctor, nutritionist or anyone of the women I know mentioned this was likely. I also noticed body aches and pains, disrupted sleep and increasing fat around the belly and buttocks.

I also was using food to cope when I didn’t feel secure or avoided doing something. My go to’s were processed protein bars, coffee and alcohol to comfort me in times of boredom procrastination, upset, worry, overwhelm and confusion. I used food to numb and avoid negative feelings in areas of my that were not working.

I created the Hormone Balance Method to support mid-life women reset their energy, heal their relationship with food and break patterns of using food for comfort. The program fills a gap to support busy professionals to be empowered to understand mid-life hormone and metabolic changes and holistically closing the gap by reviewing your food choices, supplements and reverse inflammation.
