Weight gain is one of the most common and frustrating symptoms women experience during the perimenopausal transition. It demands a holistic and individualized approach that keeps pace with the science and the challenges women experience during this time of life.
Having a coach to guide and evolve your program can make all the difference in keeping focused and progressing toward your goals.
