Still Gaining Weight in Perimenopause, Menopause or Post -Even When You're Eating Clean ?

“Since following Michelle’s Nutrition for Life program, I’ve learned to leave the diet mentality behind that had been ingrained in me my entire adult life. I now understand how to incorporate macronutrients to nourish my body and burn fat efficiently.

This is truly a lifestyle for nutrition and wellness—not a diet. My total cholesterol improved from 193 last year to 163 this year, and all of my blood work numbers came back excellent.

Even more exciting, I had a bone density test that previously showed osteoporosis, and my most recent test showed improvement to osteopenia, with my fracture risk dropping to 12%. My doctor said no treatment was necessary and told me to keep doing what I’m doing.

I’m so happy with these results and encourage anyone struggling to reach out to Michelle for her expertise.”

I found this program when I was at my wits end, not knowing what to do with my menopause weight and belly fat. I had been trying all the things that used to work and steadily gaining pound after pound. I had heard about macros and I had heard that menopausal women should lift heavy weights, but I had had no experience with either of those in my past and googling them was just an avalanche of information and I didn’t feel like I was gaining any real knowledge. I finally found Michelle and signed up for this program. I can confidently say that I feel very comfortable knowing my nutritional needs now as a menopausal woman, I feel very comfortable with the strength training in this program. I guess I could’ve eaten my proper macros and strength trained before this, but since I didn’t know too much about it, I didn’t feel comfortable like I was doing the right thing. With this proven method behind me and in my head, I know that I’m doing it right and I see the Results. My energy is high throughout the entire day, I sleep great at night. Even if I get up in the night to go to the bathroom, I get back in bed and fall directly back to sleep. This never used to happen to me before. I feel stronger, my clothes fit better and I see progress from when I started to now. I am still on my journey in my body recomposition, but this program has really helped me feel solid in knowing that I am doing the right things. I am on hormone replacement therapy, and I was even before I started this program. But this nutrition program has only served to support those hormones, giving me the emotional stability, energy, and ability to sleep at night that I needed. The hormones alone were just not doing the trick for me. I had plantar fasciitis in my feet which I thought was surely the results of my rapid weight gain. But even before I started my strength training with this program, I just changed the way I was eating and my plantar fasciitis just went completely away. I can now again wear my cute wedges and heels! On this program, I am able to eat anything I want, I have just learned how to eat it and when to eat it to best support my body. If you are on the fence, I recommend this program highly. It is a crash course education in nutrition, but it is worth its weight in gold.

I have learned so much from Michelle from proper eating habits through menopause to many more important factors of sleep, meditation, less cardio to feeling better and having more energy! Highly recommend her program, worth every penny!

I was post menopausal and diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. I started a physician directed program through my employer but could not sustain 30 grams of carbs per day. Then I met Michelle. She has been a steady support in my journey. I did not want to be judged but understood. I have learned to use macros in a way that makes sense for my body. I have lost 60 pounds, my energy has improved and my cravings have decreased drastically. I work out 4 days a week. My blood sugars are stable and boy do I feel it when I have an off day, which does happen to even the best of us. Follow the program. It works. I will go back through the program again as I know there have been some amazing changes since I first started. By the way I am 69 and feel healthier than ever.

I’m 57 years of age. I’ve been on many different diets since I was in my twenties. They all worked short term. I was never able to maintain the weight loss after exiting a program. After I hit 40, nothing I had tried in the past worked beyond 5-10 pounds and after I gave up that weight came back plus more. I found something called macros 3 years ago and began studying about it and using it on my own. One huge mistake I made? I neglected the last part of the compound word, nutrients. Macronutrients makes more sense with Michelle Black. I was 219 and after coming to a standstill at 183 and going back and forth from there to 187 I went through her teaching modules again and am really putting her knowledge into action. I’ve lost 4 more pounds the last 2 weeks. When I started working with Michelle, I began to learn things I was not able to find in all my research. It has been eye opening and life changing!

Since working with Michelle Black and her Nutrition for life Program, I have been able to improve my health and nutrition. I have reduced the medications I’m on and feel so much better. She is truly interested in the success of those willing to do the work! Not only does she answer questions within the community, she offers weekly support with zoom meetings. If you are looking to get healthy and learn a maintainable lifestyle she is your girl!

6 Weeks Into Nutrition for Life

“I’m finally sleeping, I have no more hot flashes, and I’m not craving like I used to. I’d say I feel like a 7 or 8 out of 10 — and I was at zero when I started.”

This client had been stuck for years, despite medication and clean eating. She was struggling with:

• Severe hot flashes

• Intense joint pain (couldn’t sleep on her side)

• Cravings, crashes, and poor sleep

• Hypothyroidism, prediabetes, and multiple medications

In just 6 weeks:

• Hot flashes gone (without meds)

• Sleeping through the night

• Less joint pain, more mobility

• Cravings gone, better energy + blood sugar

• Clearer understanding of what her body needs

Visible Progress:

• Waist flatter (1.5–2.5" estimated)

• 4–7+ inches lost across hips, arms, waist, and back

• Puffiness reduced in face and neck

“This isn’t something you can Google — it takes the right support and the right plan.”

 

Michelle is so amazing and knowledgeable about all thing's health. She will make you feel like you can do anything and make it sound so easy.

You'll feel like you are he only client even while talking and helping others on the same journey.

When I found Michelle, I was struggling with my health and weight. I was on 3 prescriptions, and the more I worked out and the less I ate, the scale just kept going up and the worse I felt.
I joined her program and she blew me away with all the knowledge about nutrition that she was willing to share and teach.
I joined her program and within 3 months I was able to get off the prescriptions and lost 30+ lbs and a bunch of inches!!!
I am so grateful that I found Michelle. She gave me my freedom with food back and I can't imagine where my life would be without her. ❤️‼️
*And bonus.. her program just keeps getting better!!!!
