Your metabolism is not broken.
It is asking for something.
Exercise physiology and Fast Like a Girl certified coaching, built around a woman's cycle and season of life instead of against it. No punishment, no thirty-day reset, no plan you have to hide from your family.
You did not stop
trying.
Everything that used to work stopped working, and the advice you keep getting is to do more of it, harder.
Perimenopause, chronic stress, under-eating, over-training, disrupted sleep, and a decade of restriction all change how a body handles fuel. None of that is a character flaw, and none of it responds to shame. It responds to accurate inputs.
My training sits in two places: exercise physiology, which tells us what your body can actually do and recover from, and Fast Like a Girl, which times fasting and fuelling to a woman's hormonal cycle rather than a protocol written for men.
Four levers
Draft summaries — Janneane to confirm scope and language.
Fuel timing
When you eat, and when you do not. Fasting used as a precise tool matched to where you are in your cycle — and set aside entirely in the phases where it works against you.
Training that fits
Prescribed from physiology: what builds you up this week versus what digs the hole deeper. Strength, conditioning, and — genuinely — when to do less.
Recovery load
Sleep, stress, and the recovery debt that makes every other input fail. Usually the first thing we fix, and usually the least glamorous.
Cycle awareness
Building the month around your physiology instead of apologising for it — including the years when the cycle itself is changing.
This is education, not medicine
I am not a physician and I do not diagnose, treat, or prescribe. I teach you how your system works and help you build a plan you can hold. If something in our work suggests you need medical care, I will say so plainly and I will want you talking to your doctor.
Four ways to start a conversation
Pick whichever is easiest. You will hear back from me, not from an assistant.
Start with what your body is actually doing.
Bring the history — the diets, the training, the bloodwork, the frustration. We will build from there.
