Simplify menopause for a

stronger, longer, more confident life.

Strength, stability, and longevity for your next chapter

A step-by-step lifestyle and movement system for women in perimenopause through postmenopause—designed to restore metabolism, reduce inflammation, and build sustainable longevity habits, without strict diets or rigid timelines.

If Menopause Feels Confusing, Exhausting, or Unfair—You’re Not Alone

If you’ve been doing “all the right things” and still feel stuck, frustrated, or unsure what to try next…

​

You’re not failing.

​

Your body is changing, and most women are never taught how to work with those changes.

 

Many midlife women are dealing with:

✔ Low energy that doesn’t improve with more sleep
✔ Weight shifting to the midsection
✔ Increased inflammation, bloating, or joint aches
✔ Brain fog or mood changes
✔ Feeling “off” in ways they can’t explain
✔ Workouts and diets that used to work… suddenly don’t

 

And on top of that, you’re often told:

“Just eat less.”
“Just move more.”
“Just try harder.”

 

But that advice ignores what’s really happening inside your body.

 

This stage of life requires a different approach—one that supports your hormones, metabolism, nervous system, and recovery.

 

You don’t need more willpower. You need better guidance.

Your Body Isn’t Failing...
It’s Asking for Something Different

Perimenopause and postmenopause don’t “break” your metabolism.

 

This "second puberty" just changed the rules.

 

Hormone shifts affect how your body responds to food, exercise, stress, sleep, and recovery.
 

What worked in your 30s and 40s often stops working—not because you’re doing something wrong, but because your physiology is evolving.

 

This is why:

✔ Extreme dieting backfires
✔ High-intensity workouts feel harder to recover from
✔ Under-eating increases fatigue and inflammation
✔ Stress has a bigger impact than it used to
✔ Rest becomes just as important as training

 

In midlife, progress doesn’t come from pushing harder.

 

It comes from working smarter.

 

Like incorporating habits that support your metabolism, nervous system, and muscle health.

 

That’s where real, lasting change happens.​

Why I Do This Work

Hi, I’m Natalie.

​

And I know how confusing and frustrating this season can feel, because I've been through it, too.

 

For so many women, perimenopause and menopause show up as:

Low energy.
Stubborn weight gain.
Poor sleep.
Brain fog.
Mood changes.
A body that suddenly feels unfamiliar.

 

And too often, you’re told:

“Everything looks normal.”
“Just eat less and move more.”
“Welcome to aging.”

 

That’s not good enough.

As a certified personal trainer and nutrition coach specializing in women in midlife, I’ve spent years helping women rebuild trust with their bodies and learn how to support their health for the long term.

​

I don’t believe in extremes.
I don’t believe in shame.
And I don’t believe you’re broken.

 

I believe you deserve:

✔ Clear education
✔ Realistic strategies
✔ Ongoing support
✔ A coach who listens

 

The Second Puberty Lifestyle membership exists because women deserve better than guessing, Googling, and starting over.

 

You deserve guidance you can rely on.

And I’d be honored to walk this next chapter with you.

 

Best,
Nat

How The Second Puberty Lifestyle Works
Step 1:
Understand Your Changing Body

Make sense of what’s happening so you stop blaming yourself.

I start by helping you understand what’s happening in your body during this phase of life.

​

Not in a confusing, medical way—but in a practical, real-life way.

​

When you understand your hormones, metabolism, and stress response, everything becomes less scary.

​

You stop thinking something is “wrong” with you.

​

And start learning how to support your body again.

Step 2:
Focus on What Actually Moves the Needle

Learn your body.

Build your foundation.

Stop guessing.

Most women try to fix symptoms by piling on supplements, workouts, and advice from social media.

​

Buy this. Try that. Do more. Eat less.

​

But without strong foundations, nothing sticks.

​

Inside The Second Puberty Lifestyle, I’ll show you how to:

✔ Train in a way that supports hormones
✔ Fuel your body without restriction
✔ Improve sleep and recovery
✔ Reduce inflammation and fatigue
✔ Know what to focus on first—and what to skip

​

Everything is designed to meet you where you are, not where you “think” you should be.

Step 3:
Live It With
Confidence

Turn knowledge into

habits that last

a lifetime.

This isn’t about following a plan perfectly.

​

It’s about building routines that fit your real life.

​

You’ll have ongoing support, coaching, and community as your body continues to change.

​

So you’re never left wondering,
“Am I doing this right?”

​

You’ll know—and you’ll feel confident moving forward.

No crash courses.  No quick fixes.  No pressure.
 

Just steady progress for life.

​

It’s an experience about understanding your body, nervous system, and hormones—and learning what to focus on first, what to add later, and what to skip.

There are no rigid meal plans, food rules, or “on/off” thinking here. You’ll learn how to fuel yourself for life.

Q: Will I get personal support?
A: Yes.


You’ll have ongoing guidance, feedback, and access to me—not just videos and handouts.

You don’t have to have everything figured out.
You just have to be willing to start.
