Why Your New Year's Resolutions Fail (and How to Actually Achieve Them)
Every year, millions of women make New Year's resolutions. Lose weight, get fit, eat healthier – these are common goals that often fall by the wayside by February. But why do so many resolutions fail?
Common Pitfalls of New Year's Resolutions:
Unrealistic Expectations: Setting overly ambitious goals (like losing 50 pounds in a month) is a recipe for disappointment.
Lack of Specificity: Vague goals like "eat healthier" are difficult to track and measure.
External Motivation: Relying on willpower alone is unsustainable.
Ignoring Underlying Issues: Focusing solely on outward changes without addressing the root causes of unhealthy habits.
The Hormonal Connection: A Hidden Factor
For women, many of the challenges faced when trying to achieve health goals are deeply intertwined with hormonal fluctuations.
Fatigue: Perimenopause, often starting in your 30s, can lead to fluctuating estrogen and progesterone levels, resulting in chronic fatigue that makes it difficult to exercise, prepare healthy meals, and even enjoy daily activities.
Mood swings: These hormonal shifts can significantly impact mood, leading to irritability, anxiety, and even depression, making it challenging to maintain healthy habits.
Weight gain: Hormonal imbalances can contribute to weight gain, particularly around the midsection, further impacting self-esteem and motivation.
Sleep disturbances: Hormonal fluctuations can disrupt sleep patterns, leaving you feeling exhausted and unable to function at your best.
The Hormone Reset Method: A Holistic Approach
The Hormone Reset Method is uniquely designed for women’s specific and complex hormonal needs, recognizing that sustainable change goes beyond just diet and exercise. It's built on the principle of habit stacking in key areas of body, mind, spirit, and, of course, nutrition! My signature program is 12 weeks in total, broken down into two key areas:
COACHING:
Daily education on the "why" behind your health challenges, empowering you with knowledge about your body and how hormones work.
Mindfulness practices to cultivate inner peace and reduce stress, a major hormone disruptor.
Lifestyle recommendations tailored to your unique needs, including stress management techniques, sleep hygiene, and movement strategies.
NUTRITION:
Focus on key nutrients to bring systems in the body back into balance, including personalized supplement recommendations.
Delicious and easy-to-follow meal plans that nourish your body and support hormonal health.
My goal here is to provide practical learning and tools for your well-being in a way that flows from day to day, without adding additional stress to your already busy lives. I take a holistic approach to design your unique circle of health and embrace solutions for perimenopause, fertility issues, weight gain, anxiety, fatigue, bloating, depression, brain fog, and all that comes with being a cycling woman.
Imagine a year where:
You wake up feeling refreshed and energized.
You experience consistent, predictable energy throughout the day.
Mood swings become a distant memory.
You effortlessly make healthy choices that support your body and mind.
You feel confident and empowered in your own skin.
