Based on peer-reviewed research from the Study of Women's Health Across the Nation (SWAN)
- the largest menopause study ever conducted, following 3,000+ women for over 20 years.
"I lost 139 pounds, but who's counting! This is life-changing and sustainable. I spent decades on the diet roller coaster - losing and regaining the same weight. John's approach wasn't another quick fix - it was an education about how my body actually works during this life stage. Learning to work WITH my hormones instead of against them changed everything. I have energy to keep up with my grandkids, my doctor says my blood work is incredible, and I finally feel like myself again."
Jacinda J., Age 52, lost 139 lbs with sustainable lifestyle changes
"50 pounds down and feels stronger than ever. The confidence I've gained goes far beyond the scale. What I love most is that this system taught me to eat RIGHT for my changing hormones. The Core 5 Framework fit into my real life - I tried every diet plan, workout program, but now I understand how to make it all work together. This confidence I've gained goes beyond the scale - it's about finally understanding my body."
Anastasia D., Age 47, lost 50 lbs and feels stronger than ever
"100 pounds lost using science-backed strategies. At age 51, I lost 100 pounds with sustainable lifestyle changes. John's approach is different - no nonsense and teacher-friendly. This system taught me that my body isn't broken - it just needed different support than it did in my 30s. The hormone-friendly approach made all the difference."
Jenny Buck, Age 51, lost 100 lbs using science-backed strategies
Hormonal Weight Gain Research: "SWAN study data shows women gain an average of 12-15 pounds during menopause transition, with 65% going directly to abdominal fat due to declining estrogen and rising cortisol."
Protein Requirements Study: "Recent research published in the Journal of Nutrition found post-menopausal women need 25-30% more protein than younger women to maintain muscle mass and metabolic rate."
Strength Training Evidence: "A 20-week resistance training study showed women over 40 who did strength training 3x weekly increased muscle mass by 1.4kg while those doing only cardio lost 0.5kg of muscle."
Stress-Weight Connection: "Research from Harvard Medical School demonstrates that chronic cortisol elevation (common during menopause) specifically targets abdominal fat storage and disrupts hunger hormones."
