Thrive Women Fitness

In her 50’s, Debby struggled with weight gain, strength & power loss, slower times — despite working out and training like she had for decades.

In 2024, we made these changes that helped her drop 15 lbs, gain speed and power, and feel like her kickass self again.

1. Sprint Interval Training. I reduced her “grey zone” cardio and substituted 1-2 high-quality SIT intervals/week

2. Despite training for an Ironman triathlon which can be up to 17 hours long, we put a big emphasis on strength training with heavier weights, at 2x/wk

3. Eliminated dairy and gluten from her diet. Focused on higher protein intake throughout the day and specifically around her workouts in combination with high quality carbs

4. She started MRT. I suggested she work with a Naturopath who specializes in perimenopause and menopausal women. After doing her bloodwork, she started MRT and it has attributed to her success.

5. Mindset reset. It’s easy to lose your mojo when you work hard and don’t see results. It changes your internal talk and you start to believe you are just “too old” to feel and do well. The first step to mindset reset is believing that making the changes listed above can work! It’s not easy - it takes discipline. But when you fully commit, you reset brain chemistry and mindset gets even stronger and stronger.

You don’t have to be an athlete to implement these five steps. Every single woman can benefit from these THRIVE principles. You can feel like YOU again!

The willingness to work not just hard, but to work smart - that is the key to perimenopause thru post menopause health.

Proud coach shoutout to my inspiring client, Kelly. At age 40 she was diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer forcing her to get a double mastectomy and go through months of treatment that wreaked havoc on her physical and mental health.

Through it all, Kelly never gave up on herself. Many people would’ve stopped working with a coach. Stopped working out. Stopped trying. Not Kelly.

We worked together to navigate Kelly’s new no-estrogen body. That meant implementing new training & nutrition methods to help her regain muscle, cardiovascular fitness, and optimize performance without over-stressing her body and mind.

Be unapologetically badass

When I created Live Your Truth Women, my mission was to inspire women to be bold, brave, and badass. My mission is still the same, but my focus has shifted on empowering women in pre and post menopause to look and feel their best.

For decades women were told weight gain, fatigue, strength loss, and feelings of “blah” were inevitable with age. NOT TRUE.

I know from personal experience and from 30 years of training women, we CAN reduce body fat, improve muscle quality, build bone density, boost energy and reduce all negative symptoms of pre and post menopause. All it takes is adjusting how we exercise and eat based on your hormonal phase of life.

THRIVE WOMEN FITNESS is based on the most current scientific research. This isn’t a fad or a quick fix. This is a new mindset and new lifestyle where we embrace building lean muscle as the key to quality life longevity.

Follow me as we THRIVE now and for all the years to come.

Do you feel bad/sad/mad that you can’t get motivated to workout? Or can’t stay consistent?

I get it. I’ve been in the fitness industry my whole life and I love exercising… most days. Just like you, there are plenty of days I would rather take a nap or blow off my workout because I’m simply not motivated. I call this being on the struggle bus 🚌 🚌 🚌

That’s why I commit to meet people to run, lift, cycle, swim, and all of it. I know that if I have an accountability partner, I will do the most important thing… Show up. Once I start, the hard part is over.

What’s your favorite way to make sure you get off the struggle bus and get your workout in?

Have you reached a point where you feel stuck?

Unable to move the needle from Blah to Booyah!

THRIVE Women isn't just another health program telling you to eat less and do more. It is about applying the new science based on women in this phase of life. Implementing fitness and nutrition methods that get results for women who’s hormones, bone density, and lean muscle have diminished.

THRIVE Women understands that on top of all this, your life stressors have multiplied with age causing all sorts of detrimental health risks. And we know what It feels like... because we are going through it, too.

Wisdom drop…

There’s a special bond between women that workout together.

I’ve trained with these women for 15 years. We’ve motivated each other through marathons and Ironman triathlons - getting stronger together.

But more than that… we’ve grown stronger as WOMEN because of the emotional bonds we’ve built.

We’ve cried & held each other through life-altering traumas of divorce & death & moving thousands of miles away; and we’ve cried happy tears of joy with the birth of children, new marriages, and new careers.

Because when you workout with women, sweat breaks down walls.

You are too tired to be guarded.

Real talk about real feelings creates real friendships.

Live Your Truth Women Fitness Coaching was created to help all women build these bonds. It’s never too late … build your community now and experience the power of women supporting women.

Be-YOU-tiful

The older you get, the more important it is to step out of your comfort zone. Why?

Because doing something scary is the best way to remind yourself that you can do ANYTHING you set your mind to.

Accomplishing physical challenges directly impacts your mental fortitude in all areas of life.

It doesn’t mean being fearless… just brave enough to step into the water.

You can girlfriend. You. Can.

Women who lift he heavier weights at least twice a week get better results, reduce risk of disease by a far greater amount, and feel better overall!

Hip & B***y HIIT Workout for Women 40+

Women who don’t do regular strength training can expect to lose 4 to 6 pounds of muscle per decade. (And most don’t see the number on the scale going down, which means you’re replacing that muscle with fat.)

Good news… consistently strength training 2x/wk - full body - can prevent much of this! And it also prevents bone loss! 🔥🔥

Know this: It’s never ever too late to start!

It’s a new year and a new opportunity to be even more amazing …

In case you need this my beautiful women..

She let go.

She let go. Without a thought or a word, she let go.

She let go of the fear.

She let go of the judgments.

She let go of the confluence of opinions swarming around her head.

She let go of the committee of indecision within her.

She let go of all the ‘right’ reasons.

Wholly and completely, without hesitation or worry, she just let go.

She didn’t ask anyone for advice.

She didn’t read a book on how to let go.

She didn’t search the scriptures.

She just let go.

She let go of all of the memories that held her back.

She let go of all of the anxiety that kept her from moving forward.

She let go of the planning and all of the calculations about how to do it just right.

She didn’t promise to let go.

She didn’t journal about it.

She didn’t write the projected date in her Day-Timer.

She made no public announcement and put no ad in the paper.

She didn’t check the weather report or read her daily horoscope.

She just let go.

She didn’t analyze whether she should let go.

She didn’t call her friends to discuss the matter.

She didn’t do a five-step Spiritual Mind Treatment.

She didn’t call the prayer line.

She didn’t utter one word.

She just let go.

No one was around when it happened.
There was no applause or congratulations.

No one thanked her or praised her.

No one noticed a thing.

Like a leaf falling from a tree, she just let go.

There was no effort.

There was no struggle.

It wasn’t good and it wasn’t bad.

It was what it was, and it is just that.
In the space of letting go, she let it all be.

A small smile came over her face.

A light breeze blew through her.

And the sun and the moon shone forevermore…
