“Normal? Says Who?”
May 25, 2025
“This is normal.”
That’s what they kept telling her.
The weight gain.
The night sweats.
The wild mood swings.
All of it?
“Just menopause.”
So she tried to accept it.
Tried to push through it.
Tried to be grateful it wasn’t something worse.
But deep down?
She was furious.
Because what she was feeling didn’t feel normal.
It felt like her body had turned on her.
She couldn’t sleep.
She couldn’t think straight.
She couldn’t fit into her clothes.
And the worst part?
She was doing everything “right.”
Yoga.
Salads.
Spin classes.
Supplements.
But nothing worked.
And when she went to her doctor?
She got a smile and a shrug:
“Eat less. Move more.”
So when we finally talked.
She didn’t want another meal plan.
She didn’t want to be told to try harder.
She wanted someone to tell her the truth.
And here it is:
No, this isn’t just aging.
It’s stress overload.
It’s hormones gone wild.
It’s years of doing everything for everyone but you.
She wasn’t crazy.
She was depleted.
So we built her plan around:
→ Stress management
→ A plan for rest
→ GLP-1 support
And now?
She’s sleeping.
She’s thinking clearly.
And the weight is finally coming off.
Not because she punished her body into submission.
But because she finally gave it what it needed.
If you’re stuck in the same cycle.
Wondering if this is just what womanhood looks like now...
Let’s talk.
Because “normal” doesn’t mean unchangeable.
