My Comeback After Perimenopause
I recently turned 50 and have been working hard to get into shape after dealing with perimenopause/menopause. When I hit perimenopause I suddenly gained about 30 pounds. It was stubborn weight and a lot of it was around my belly.
I did everything including training for a triathlon and working out with a trainer for a year. I lost some weight, but honestly I was stuck and still had quite a bit of belly fat. A good friend shared her Emerge experience with me and I knew I had to try it.
Within a month I was down to my pre perimenopause weight and I have never felt better. I’m still working out and eating right just not feeling frustrated anymore. I share about Emerge with everyone because it’s such a great company.
care. compassion. community.
Before Emerge....
Perimenopause hit me hard. My clothes stopped fitting, everything hurt, my anxiety spiked, and my doctors kept telling me my labs looked great. Believe me — I did not feel great. I was caring for my mom, who had Alzheimer's, raising teenagers, drinking too much wine, and running on empty.
Balancing my hormones helped, but it wasn't the whole answer. Then my son talked me into training for a triathlon — I bought a bike, started running and swimming, dialed in my nutrition and strength training, even hired a trainer. And still, the menopause weight around my midsection wouldn't budge.
When a friend mentioned Emerge, I was skeptical — I already felt like I was doing everything. But almost right away, I knew I'd made the right decision. I finally felt like me again: back to my pre-perimenopause weight and stronger than I'd been in years.
That's why I share my story — so another woman might find hope a little sooner than I did.
My Favorites
Hydration
Water and electrolytes all day long — it makes a bigger difference than I ever expected.
Fruit + Fiber
Raspberries, kiwis, and chia seeds are my go-to when I want something sweet that keeps me full.

I keep cooked chicken, fish, or meatballs on hand so an easy, high-protein lunch is always ready.
