The Key To Set Yourself Up For Success with Your Health Goals Is This….
Have you ever heard the saying, “You are the sum of the people you spend the most time with”? It’s something I’ve been thinking about lately—and it’s so true.
If you spend your time with people who prioritize movement, you’re more likely to lace up your shoes and get active. If your circle eats well, you’ll probably find yourself making healthier choices too. And on the flip side, if you’re around people who constantly complain, gossip, or drink more than you’d like, it’s easy to slip into those patterns, even if they’re not really you.
This isn’t about judgment. It’s about reflection. What kind of life do you want to build? And who are the people helping shape it?
Many of us know what’s good for us—move more, eat well, sleep better—but knowing what that looks like and actually doing it consistently can feel overwhelming. That’s where encouragement and accountability make all the difference. It’s why community matters. And it’s exactly why I became a FASTer Way coach.
As a naturopathic doctor, I’ve spent over 20 years talking with women about nutrition, hormone balance, and strength training. But I realized along the say that many women needed more than just advice—they needed support in putting it into practice, and someone to walk alongside them as they built a healthier lifestyle, step by step.
That’s what I love most about coaching: giving women a plan, the tools to follow it, and the encouragement to keep going.
If you could use a jumpstart, I’ve got a free 30-minute strength training workout you can try today:
The workouts are designed to meet you where you are, with modifications included and no fancy equipment needed. Just your body weight, 30 minutes, and the willingness to begin. You can add weights as you are ready. Inside the full FASTer Way program, there is even a Foundations series to start with for anyone who is completely new to strength training.
While walking has many benefits, on its own, it won’t stop the loss of muscle that happens as hormones change through perimenopause and beyond. That takes intentional strength work, with weights that challenge you and movements that target a variety of muscle groups.
