I WANT IN!

For women like us, when we find ourselves in our 40s,  it can suddenly feel like the body we had – the one we knew inside and out – disappears overnight, and is replaced with its achy, sluggish, weight-gaining, anxious, stressed out evil twin.

And that’s when the struggles start. 

Have you experienced…

  • Frustrating weight gain or an inability to drop excess weight as easily as you could in the past?
  • Inexplicable low mood or feelings of mental or physical exhaustion?​
  • Brain fog or “crazy feelings” that seems to make it impossible to fulfill your dreams?
  • Anxiety and stress that overtakes you when you least expect it?
  • A massive drop in your libido or disappointment in your appearance?

​Have you told yourself that this is all just a “normal” part of aging?

Do you think the solution is just to grin and bear it?

Don’t accept fixes that might only be temporary or leave you in worse shape than you are now!

We  want to challenge the belief

that feeling less than optimal is

“normal” at our age.

We are two women on a mission and you’ll learn more about us a bit later, but right now we want you to know that you can turn all of these midlife health changes and challenges around with a little bit of know-how and support. 

We are going to help you get access to the most up-to-date and powerful information available so that you feel confident that you’ve got the wisdom to make your midlife magical. We’ll show you how to address all the frustrating hormonal shifts, body changes, emotional upheavals, and messed up midlife mindset so that you can feel excited about your life again!

What if in just a few months, you could learn how to:

  • Restore your declining hormones and feel connected to your body again
  • Reclaim your vitality and energy so that you can find “beauty in the mundane” and enjoy each day
  • Age well – so you can keep your wits and your waistline intact!

What if in as little as eight weeks you could begin the process of transforming the next 50 years of your life? 

No matter where you’re starting from – even if you’ve given up on improving your health, even if you’ve accepted the notion that feeling hopeful about the future is a thing of the past. Don’t shy away – together we can turn that around – we can turn YOU around!

If you are struggling with symptoms like:

  • Weight gain no matter how much you exercise and how little you eat?
  • Crazy cravings?
  • Thinning skin or thinning hair?
  • Racing heart AND racing thoughts?
  • A libido that needs a search and rescue team?
  • No motivation? Always feeling blah?

Mastering Midlife Mayhem will help you:

  • Improve your gut health, reduce inflammation, and feel so much better than you do right now
  • Be at a healthy weight so you can feel good in your body + vastly decrease your risk of getting the diseases we associate with aging
  • Rejuvenate your thyroid for increased energy and improved mood
  • Understand the science behind your midlife symptoms and what to do about it
  • Have complete agency over your health so you can avoid becoming overly dependent on doctors
  • Improve your immune health at a time in life where most women see this wane

  • Options

    You’ll also learn all about hormone therapy and understand how to find and work with a doctor who can facilitate this for you, should you choose to incorporate it.

  • Empowerment

    Hormone therapy empowerment + education is a gaping missing piece in most other programs, but not here!

  • Compassion

    Most women are not even getting this from their trusted medical provider and are instead told to ‘eat less and exercise more’ or ‘take an antidepressant.’  Exactly what you don’t want to hear when you’ve already tried so many things.

  • Support

    Teaching you how to understand and evaluate your choices around the hormone replacement therapy question is an absolute passion of ours and we are committed to total clarity in this area for you.

Mastering Midlife Mayhem has worked for hundreds of women just like you. Women who truly believed they’d tried everything. Women who thought this was just “how it was going to be.” Women who believed there was nothing else left for them other than resigned acceptance and living smaller.

And now these same women are excited and motivated about their lives again! They have the energy, vitality, and ambition to follow their dreams…because life and health don’t have to plunge into a downward spiral with age. In fact, this second act can be your greatest yet!

I NEED MMM!

INTRODUCING THE WISE+WELL SIGNATURE METHOD:

Using modern science and traditional wisdom, Mastering Midlife Mayhem helps women restore their health and hormones to lose weight easier, improve moods, increase sex drive and enjoy more energy.

Is what you’ve tried in the past for weight loss just not working anymore?  Have you been asking “what’s wrong with me?” Relentless fatigue, foggy head, moodiness and anxiety, aching body, and weight gain from just LOOKING at food? Do you feel like you’ve become someone new as you’ve entered perimenopause or postmenopause, but you don’t like how she looks or feels?  

WE HELP YOU FEEL LIKE YOU AGAIN.

Only Better.

Don’t let midlife be your master, start mastering midlife yourself!

“More women need to know you two exist.”

~ Teggy M.

If you are here and concerned about midlife, here is what you need to know

Because the rules of the game really do change when women hit their mid-40s. So many programs out there do not address the specific needs of midlife women like our program does.

Hormones change when we hit our 40s. And they can change pretty drastically.

This can affect everything from your mood to your weight…from your outlook on life…even your body’s immunity, and more. Making what you did in your 20s and 30s no longer effective. Your body won’t respond the same way it used to because your body has fundamentally changed.

And programs that overlook this – that sweep past those hormonal changes that all midlife women face – are a waste of both time and money.

Your body is your only true home. You only get one. So you should care for it. How it looks, how it feels, and how it performs. When you enroll in Mastering Midlife Mayhem you get the blueprint that shows you exactly how to do all that.

  • The DUTCH Complete test shipped to you 
  • The GIMAP Stool Analysis test shipped to you 
  • The Mastering Midlife Mayhem 8-Week Online Education Program designed to walk you through Midlife – its changes, priorities and important interventions 
  • Multiple Comprehensive Personal Nutrition and Lifestyle Assessments
  • One 60-min 1:1 session to discuss test results along with your personal history and current concerns
  • One Detailed Custom Protocol covering individualized nutrition, exercise, lifestyle modifications along with targeted supplements, hormone replacement therapy advice, and a prescribing referral, if desired 
  • 12 Live, Interactive Group Coaching Calls (2 per month for 6 months) for ongoing support; calls rotate between mornings and evenings in order to accommodate all time zones
  • Six Months of Membership in our Private, Client-only MMM Online Community Network 
  • Six Month of Private Support in a customized mobile app
  • Discounted Access to an Online Exercise Program

MMM is an all-in-one program that is more in-depth than any conventional or allopathic physician can provide.  MMM gives you sustainable solutions that stick!

I NEED MMM

If you are a midlife woman and you are thinking about a program that’s made for younger women, you are wasting your time.

Don’t let claims or concerns about estrogen dominance, seed cycling, and menstrual regulation distract you.  As a midlife woman, you need to learn why all your hormones (sex, thyroid and metabolic) are not served by quick-fixes or programs that do not address the profound hormonal changes of midlife.

The education in Mastering Midlife Mayhem will “teach you to fish rather than hand you a fish.”  In fact, our goal is to make sure you never need another program again!

GIVE ME THE MMM SECRETS!

Let’s break down the MMM coaching method

MMM is first and foremost a transformative journey.

A journey you’ll be taking with an amazing group of like-minded women seeking more happiness and more fulfillment out of their lives through better health.

We will personally walk with you through MMM. We’ll teach you EXACTLY how to improve your health and usher in a new level of mental and physical wellness. Maybe more so than you’ve ever experienced before!

Here’s how that will happen:

Video Lessons:

Each week you will get 1-2 video lessons to watch. We will walk you through the how and why. You can listen and view them from your office computer or from your phone while out walking. These videos are short and consumable….no hour-plus long videos to get through. We’ve made it easy to gain mastery of midlife health with this format.

Live Zoom Coaching Calls:

Every two weeks, we will have a live coaching call on Zoom, for a total of 12 calls while traveling on your MMM journey. These calls are your chance to get high-level access to us for troubleshooting, motivation, questions and encouragement.

Functional Testing & Private 1:1 Session:

When it comes to your health, our rule is Test Don’t Guess! As part of MMM, you receive both the DUTCH Complete and GIMAP tests shipped to you as well as multiple personal nutrition and lifestyle assessments, all of which is analyzed and discussed with you in our private 1:1 session that then results in your unique protocol. If additional testing is desired or already done in the areas of thyroid and metabolic health, food sensitivities and allergies, HRT sufficiency, and more, we are trained to interpret that as well.

Do-able Weekly Assignments:

In order to not let this be just some other purchase that sits idle in your hard drive, we will have weekly assignments for you to do. Because, let’s be real–the transformation happens when you take action. Don’t worry, there’s nothing that will be too hard. Your reward will be the changes you see in your body and the energy that you feel.

Community Support:

You will be admitted into the Wise + Well Private, Client-Only Community support group on Mighty Networks for six months. If you want to stay in the group once your program time has passed, we give you that option too! We won’t kick you out unless you want to be done because we don’t roll like that! This group is like a diary that talks back to you. You will be around like minded women who are committed to their health where you will be able to share your wins, challenges, questions and more. It’s a judgement free support zone that we know you will love.

Resource Handouts and Other Bonuses:

Each week, we give you resources that will help improve your life and health. We start with a Toxicity Questionnaire in Week 2 (and we also request you fill it out several weeks later so you can see your improvement on paper). Some of the other extra goodies we have in store for you are recipes, product resources, a masterclass on hair loss with a hair loss expert, interpretation guides and so much more.

The result is a true “blueprint” for you that revolutionizes how you live this next chapter of your life!

The Community

While you are learning about the imperatives of midlife, Mastering Midlife Mayhem asks you to show up in our Community of midlife women through 12 group coaching calls and an online private platform, all of which combine to provide you with the essential resources, accountability and support that you need to thrive in midlife.

Mastering Midlife Mayhem’s blend of critical education, functional testing, a private session with personal results and recommendations, group coaching and ongoing individual support create a powerful toolbox for midlife women.

Over our years of experience, we have witnessed this format as the most effective at truly giving women agency over their health. With the ongoing contact and engagement, along with countless resources and handouts, you will be fully supported by us as well as deeply connected with like-minded women.

What MMM is not

It’s not…

  • The male gym trainer who barks at you to do more
  • The 30-year-old nurse practitioner who’s clueless about hormonal decline (because she is yet to experience it) and thus does not know how to help older women.
  • The newly certified wellness practitioner who insists that an intermittent fasting program is the “bomb!
  • The well-meaning but overworked physician with 20 whole minutes for your office visit where all you’ll come away with is a prescription for an antidepressant
  • The life coach whose only strategy is to tell you to “step into your power” because she doesn’t understand the interplay of hormones, brain health and motivation 
  • The group fitness program led by an online trainer that hundreds of women have joined causing you to get lost in the crowd

If you’re looking for any of that, then MMM is NOT the journey for you!

We want to offer you a proven plan that is specifically made for midlife women who’ve surveyed the landscape of what aging looks like, don’t like what they’ve seen and want something different. 

If that sounds nothing like “what the doctor ordered” and that idea excites you, jump in and join us now!

SIGN ME UP!

Spend a few months with us learning what is happening in midlife, why it matters, what the implications are and how to address it.

By understanding your body, you will have the power to take charge of your health with clarity and confidence, and make the second chapter of life your best one yet!
