#343 - From Hormonal Chaos to Lean & Strong at 44: Irene’s Perimenopause Transformation with Irene Laney
Irene came to us at 44, a chef, yoga instructor, business owner, and completely overwhelmed.✔️ She moved her body constantly between the kitchen and yoga, she wasn’t sedentary and felt like she was eating healthyBut here’s what was really going on behind the scenes:❌ She couldn’t stop gaining weight❌ Her body felt soft, inflamed, and unfamiliar❌ Her IUD masked her cycle but the rage, hot flashes, and exhaustion were driving her mad!She told me:“I felt like I was outside of my own body. I couldn’t stop the anger. I was bleeding for months. I didn’t even know when I was cycling anymore. I just wanted my boys to still like me, and my husband to still want to be around me.”And the worst part? Every doctor told her she was “fine.” That there was “nothing we can do.”She saw a photo of herself and thought, “I can’t live like this anymore.”That’s when she found us.Here’s what we did using the RYM Method:1️⃣ We set calorie and macro targets tailored to her goals to make sure she was eating enough to fuel her body and support her hormones. We also added in pro-metabolic, nutrient-dense foods like bioavailable animal proteins, eggs, dairy, fruit, fresh juice, root veggies, saturated fats, liver, seafood, and salt2️⃣ We removed the guesswork and built a home training program tailored to her schedule as a busy mum and entrepreneur3️⃣ We focused on building muscle (not burning calories), with progressive overload, form checks, and training videos she could follow from home4️⃣ We helped her transition off the IUD and support her hormones naturally, no more bleeding for months, no more rage outbursts, no more hot flashesThe result?🔥 10% ⬇️ body fat🔥 7 lbs muscle gained🔥 Regular cycles (for the first time in years)🔥 No more rage, hot flashes, or “out-of-body” anxiety🔥 A stronger, more confident bodyAnd she did it all without cutting carbs, sugar, or dairy.This is what happens when you stop chasing quick fixes…And start working with your body especially in perimenopause.RESOURCES + LINKSRebuild Your Metabolism Method: 28 Day ChallengeLearn more about our Winatlife Coaching optionsSaturée products use discount code KITTY20 for 20% off your first order.Pro-Metabolic Company use discount code KITTY20 for 20% off your first purchase.Drop Us A Review On The Podcast + Post a screenshot on Instagram stories and Tag @kittyblomfield for your chance to win a tub of Saturée Premium CollagenReview on SpotifyFOLLOWKitty Blomfield @kittyblomfieldCraig McDonald @iamcraigmcdonaldAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

She didn’t lose weight.She just felt stuck.Then she found us through one of Dan Markham’s posts (@cowseatgrass) and a podcast I’d done.She followed the breadcrumbs and landed in our world.She was drawn to the strength training, the metabolic focus, and the no-BS approach to food.And she was ready for something real.Fast forward 9 months later… and here’s what’s happened 👇– She dropped 8.5% body fat– Gained visible muscle and definition– Went from 28% to 19.5% body fat– Came off thyroid medication completely– Eliminated dense, fibrotic breast tissue (no longer flagged as high risk)– Is training just 3x/week for 45 minutes– Eats more food than ever including sugar, salt, dairy, sourdough, and ice cream– Feels confident, energised, and STRONG at 50She didn’t do it with HIIT classes, restriction, or hormone patches.She did it by focusing on food quality, smart strength training, and learning to fuel her body instead of punishing it.And she’s not just leaner, she’s healthier.Her body works for her now.This episode will give you so much hope if you’ve been stuck in the cycle of dieting, low energy, and hormonal chaos.RESOURCES + LINKSRebuild Your Metabolism Method: 28 Day ChallengeLearn more about our Winatlife Coaching optionsSaturée products use discount code KITTY20 for 20% off your first order.Pro-Metabolic Company use discount code KITTY20 for 20% off your first purchase.Drop Us A Review On The Podcast + Post a screenshot on Instagram stories and Tag @kittyblomfield for your chance to win a tub of Saturée Premium CollagenReview on SpotifyFOLLOWKitty Blomfield @kittyblomfieldCraig McDonald @iamcraigmcdonaldAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands
