Lose Weight Through Hormone Driven Health Strategies.
Are you tired of making the best choices, doing all the right things to lose weight, and finding nothing is working anymore?

If you are ready to finally find a simple, Trim Healthy Mama-based plan that is designed for busy menopausal women…

122 | From Striving to Surrender: A New Way to Approach Weight Loss After 40
Season 4 · Episode 122
Wednesday, July 9, 2025 • Duration 10:12
If you’re in perimenopause or menopause and feel like you’re doing everything right but still not losing the belly fat… this episode is for you.
Coach Kris (aka “Honey”) is getting real about what changed everything in her weight loss journey—and what’s missing for so many women in midlife trying to lose weight with sheer willpower and a perfect meal plan. Hint: it’s not another food rule or a new workout. It’s surrender.
In this heart-filled episode, Kris shares how partnering with God—not just in theory but in daily action—transformed her approach to health, hormones, and weight loss.
If you’ve been white-knuckling your way through midlife with frustration, striving, and scale obsession, it’s time to exhale and take a new path.
Listen in and be reminded that the way forward isn’t found in more pressure, but in deeper peace.
Hey Sister—You’re Not Crazy, and You’re Not Failing. Your Body Just Changed.
I created the Midlife Fat Loss Formula because I lived the frustration too—eating “healthy,” working out, and still gaining weight I couldn’t lose.
This 6-month program is what I wish I had when my hormones tanked and nothing worked anymore.
Inside, I’ll personally coach you through:
A simple, flexible meal plan that resets your hormones and turns on fat burning (Trim Healthy Mama-style)
Gentle strength training and movement made for tired, inflamed bodies
Bible-based mindset coaching to keep you focused on truth, not frustration
Weekly coaching, accountability, and a sisterhood of women walking the same path
Tools to balance your blood sugar, improve your sleep, and feel energized again
This is a faith-filled, grace-based approach that works with your body in midlife—not against it.
