I want to clarify something…
I changed the name or my ‘title’ of my channel on Instagram & YouTube.
I was the ‘Menopause Fat Loss Expert’, but given all the self proclaimed ‘experts’ out there, I don’t want to appear like one of the many grifters you see here…
* Like ‘MD’s’ (chiropractors) giving nutrition advice
* Other questionable ‘MD’s’ giving longevity advice
* MD’s misquoting research to sell supplements
* Tons of made up titles from people with NO training whatsoever
* On and on
So, while I provide expertise in the area of fat loss during the challenging time of menopause, I asked myself what makes me an ‘expert’?…
I don’t want to be lumped in with people making unsubstantiated claims regarding their training or expertise.
I feel more comfortable with the title: ‘Menopause & Healthy Aging Coach’.
My expertise comes from lived experience in addition to:
*University degrees (education & kinesiology)
*Many specialized training certifications (including one in Menopause care)
*47 years of coaching (swimming lessons, ski lessons, group fitness, one on one coaching, boot camp, online coaching)
*School teacher for 19 years.
*Fitness business owner for specializing in women’s health for 17 years
I want to be clear that when I provide you with advice regarding your health that I don’t take this job lightly.
* I will not (knowingly) step ‘out of my lane’.
* I make recommendations only from evidence based science – not my own ‘theories’.
* I don’t have ‘all the answers’ and frequently reach out to my network of trusted colleagues. Many of these people are those from academia whom I’ve had on my podcast.
During this confusing time of misinformation, sensationalization and sell outs (and when you often can’t even tell AI from real life), I want you to know where I stand.
Please be careful with whom you engage with on social media and the internet in general.
I truly appreciate your trust & support.
