#343 - From Hormonal Chaos to Lean & Strong at 44: Irene’s Perimenopause Transformation with Irene Laney

Weight Loss For Women: empowering health, strength and nourishment

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 healthy

But 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 salt

2️⃣ We removed the guesswork and built a home training program tailored to her schedule as a busy mum and entrepreneur

3️⃣ We focused on building muscle (not burning calories), with progressive overload, form checks, and training videos she could follow from home

4️⃣ We helped her transition off the IUD and support her hormones naturally, no more bleeding for months, no more rage outbursts, no more hot flashes

The 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 body

And 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.
