Together, we achieve a sustainable and balanced weight loss transformation. My approach is a holistic lifestyle experience that includes a reset of meals, movement, and mindset. My clients reach their goals without restricting food groups or excessively exercising.

Program Details & Benefits

what’s included in mastering menopause

Success Guide

This comprehensive success manual for our first four weeks together breaks down the “what,” “why,” and “how” of balancing macros for (peri)menopause and gives you a solid foundation to rock your first four-week transformation, no matter your starting point!

Even if you’ve NEVER heard of "macros" until now, this guide will get you up to speed quicker than you can say “I’ve got this!”

How-To Macros Guide

Macros, especially in (peri)menopause, are a science. If you’re used to under-eating, overeating, eating processed foods, or not knowing what to eat at all...

This guide will help you understand precisely what macro-based eating looks like in action!

Macros are a tool for success, not a lifelong requirement. We will use them for the first five weeks, and you can use them longer if you choose!

Macro Meal Ideas

Yes, I said “ideas” and not “recipes!” That’s because although there are 4-5 options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner with all the ingredients listed, the number of ingredients you’ll need will be based on YOUR macros (which you'll learn to calculate in the How-To Guide!). Some example macros are included in the meal options.

This is meant to truly empower you to eat for your body and feel great doing it!

Meal Prep Masterclass

You'll learn EXACTLY how to meal-prep your way to success! During (peri)menopause, we are busier than ever! We need time, and this video will help you create it! These videos will walk you through meal-prepping step by step so you can save time, eat healthy, and achieve your goals without stress. The skills you will learn in this training will last a lifetime.

Quickstart Checklist

This checklist outlines everything you need to set yourself up for success. It covers everything you need for our first four weeks together from setting aside time to grocery shop and meal prep so you can stay organized and on track!

Goal-setting Worksheet

Let’s face it—you won’t always be motivated to stick to the plan. Heck, you may not be motivated to invest in the healthē Balance Reset because you are too busy. Action creates motivation, not the other way around. That’s why I’ve included a Goal-Setting Worksheet to help you get clear on your “why” and give you the extra fuel you need to stay focused!

Progress Tracker

You will be amazed at the progress you can achieve on your (peri)menopause journey in just 28 days IF you are consistent! Often, it’s hard to see the inches coming off — significantly if the number on the scale doesn’t drastically drop when those inches come off. This progress tracker will help you take stock of where you are when you start this challenge and where you end up in 28 days so you can see your progress!

Macro & Mindset Makeover Modules

Modules 1-4: macronutrients and what amount your body needs peri/ menopause.
Module 5: Transition from Macros to Mindset. Understanding Food Obsession
Module 6: Overcoming "Food Rules" and Creating Daily Nutrition Commitments
Module 7: Peace and Satisfaction Scale to Overcome All-or-Nothing Thinking

Coaching

I’ll be with you every step of the way! Even though this RESET is designed to be as simple as possible, making a lasting change is never easy. You have easy access to me and a community of women going through much of what you are experiencing!

testimonials

  • "I have lost 54 pounds and a lot of inches. I was struggling with my weight, PCOS, low blood sugar, constipation and cold intolerance. I did not know changing my diet could help my PCOS. I would recommend Dana to anyone wanting to reach their health goals and become healthier!" HB

  • "I'm down 15+ Ibs and can still have pretzels in my house without overindulging. What more could I really want? I learned how to use moderation after understanding how my macros work— and a new mindset came along with it!" LB

  • "Down 6 pounds in 4 weeks! I am 48 years old and have long struggled with weight. I had a complete hysterectomy 5 years ago and am on hormone replacement therapy. Trying various things from Weight Watchers to keto to fasting, things would work for a while but then I would get bored with it, self sabotage, become frustrated and the pattern would start over.

  • “My husband and I are both eating healthier. I’ve lost 15 lbs and, most importantly, I feel better than I have in years!”
