I’m Coach Monica. I help women move from overwhelmed and stuck…to steady, strong, and free. Peri-menopause can feel like your body changed the rules overnight: belly weight, night sweats, cravings, mood swings, sleep chaos. You’re not broken sister, you’re hormonal. And hormones can be supported.
Why Keto Helps Here
- Quiets insulin. Lower insulin = easier fat loss around the middle.
- Cuts inflammation. Less puffiness, fewer aches, clearer brain.
- Naturally lowers appetite. No white-knuckling every afternoon.
We keep it simple: whole foods, protein-forward, healthy fats, non-starchy veggies, minerals on point (sodium, potassium, magnesium).
Fasting—But Female
I’m certified in Fasting Like a Girl (Dr. Mindy Pelz). That means I teach fasting for women’s hormones, not against them. In peri-menopause, cycles can be wonky, so we use gentle “waves” that your nervous system can handle.
My Perimenopause Rhythm (4-Week Template)
Week 1 – Reset
- Keto basics + 12–14 hr overnight fasts
- Protein at each meal, hydrate, electrolytes daily
Week 2 – Build
- 14–16 hr fasts most days
- 1 day with a protein-up (more steak, salmon, eggs) to support thyroid/adrenals
Week 3 – Power (only if sleep/stress are good)
- Keep 14–16 hr fasts
- Option: one 20–24 hr clean fast this week (then feast with protein + minerals)
- If stress is high, skip the long fast—healing beats hustling.
Week 4 – Nourish
- Pull fasting back to 12–13 hr
- Add a carb-up evening 1–2 times: berries, cooked roots, winter squash, or white rice if tolerated. This calms cortisol, supports sleep, and reminds your hormones you are safe.
Red flags to shorten/skip fasting: lousy sleep, heavy training, new to keto, active binge urges, high stress, or you just don’t feel right. We honor the body.
What to Eat (Simple Plate)
- Protein: 30–45g/meal (beef, eggs, poultry, fish)
- Fats: butter, olive oil, tallow, avocado
- Veggies: leafy, cruciferous; add cooked roots on “nourish” nights
- Electrolytes: add salt, magnesium glycinate at night, potassium-rich foods
- Non-negotiables: water, walk after meals, bedtime routine
Quick Wins This Week
- Set a 12–14 hr overnight fast.
- Eat protein first each meal.
- Add 1–2 tsp salt/day (or electrolyte mix).
- Walk 10–15 min after your biggest meal.
- Protect sleep like it’s medicine.
