Jennifer’s Journey: From Frustration to Transformation
Jennifer had been struggling with her weight since entering perimenopause. The challenges were compounded by the multiple lockdowns during Covid, which led her to gain about a stone and two dress sizes. She felt increasingly uncomfortable in her own skin and powerless to change her situation. Jennifer described her physical and emotional state:
“Apart from increasing physical stiffness, aches, and pains, I was acutely aware of a sense of dislocation in my life: I wondered if this was ‘it’… I literally felt powerless to turn my body around and was increasingly frustrated by a gnawing thought that ‘I was done’, menopausal and somehow redundant in Life. I felt frustrated and powerless.”
Despite her reservations about the financial investment, Jennifer decided to join TRINITY Transformation. The initial weeks were challenging, with house guests and a trip to Ireland to care for her father. Yet, she persisted with her new diet and workout regimen, finding a sense of accomplishment even in small victories.
Jennifer faced a prolonged knee injury, requiring her to adapt her workouts. Progress was slow but steady, and she embraced the mantra that small change is better than none.
The Role of Exercise in Menopause Weight Loss
Jennifer’s exercise routine shifted from gym classes and cardio to Low Impact Strength Training (LIST). This approach helped her build strength and maintain a consistent workout regimen despite her knee injury. LIST is particularly effective for women around menopause as it reduces stress on joints while enhancing muscle tone and metabolic rate.
Nutritional Strategies for Lasting Results
Jennifer’s transformation began with a two-week diet makeover, eliminating hormone-disrupting foods. She then adopted Hormonally Balanced Eating (HBE), focusing on the right balance of key nutrients. This approach helped her regulate her hormones, reduce cravings, and achieve sustainable weight loss.
The Importance of Mindset and Accountability
A critical component of Jennifer’s success was working with an expert coach who kept her accountable and helped her believe in herself. This support system was vital in maintaining her motivation and consistency, even during challenging times.

In Jennifer’s own words:
“I feel alive, vibrant, and flexible. I drink two liters of water a day, I include stretching and yoga which has massively improved my flexibility and I even got a funky undercut! I guess it’s a symbol for me that I’ve come through massive changes and I’m reborn for the next phase of my life. I’m ready and strong, I’m able to take on challenges and find a way through.”
“On TRINITY, I let go of my own outdated ideas about aging/menopause/grey hairs and created myself in a new vision of who I am, a kickass grey-haired woman who’s meeting life head-on. My brother summed it up when he told me yesterday, ‘Now you sound powerful.’”
