🫣🫣🫣 Some random thoughts/harsh truths this week as nutrition coach and personal trainer. I could go on, but I’ll stop here. I’ve made a lot of mistakes and learned so much in my own journey since starting in my late 30s. I share so you don’t have to make same mistakes and get to the truth about what really works. If want me to expand on anything let me know! 🩷SC . . . . . #onlinetrainer #rn #over40 #fitnesscoach #buildingmuscle 2025-09-16 23:24:27 🫣🫣🫣 S.. 805 +52% 84 +53%

Don’t wait to lose fat to start lifting! The time is now! The fit athletic/tone body comes from lifting weights, not just losing fat. If you are concerned about an area being too big that’s an issue with body fat, not too much muscle. It’s ok to want to lose fat, but you absolutely need to be lifting while in a calorie deficit. And train like you are trying to “get bulky” and hopefully you’ll end up looking sculpted and defined over the years. Muscle will only help you lose fat and control your body fat levels over the years to come. We are losing muscle every year once we hit our 30s if you aren’t doing something to prevent it!! Let’s go!! Wearing buffbunny_collection collagen sports bra and leggings in empire rose. Launching September 20th! 🩷SC . . . . . #musclebuilding #perimenopausehealth #leanmuscle #bodytransformation #legdayworkout 2025-09-11 21:11:57 Don’t .. 445 -16% 21 -62%
Just your friendly reminder that it’s ok if you don’t want to eat protein or macro friendly snacks on the airplane. If you don’t travel all the time for work or life it’s not the end of world to have some food that you just enjoy. And get you through a flight without feeling nauseous 🙋🏼‍♀️ It’s what we do most of the time that matters. And this is not every day life for me or many of us! Safe travels and enjoy your trip. I will never fly without cheddar cheese pretzel Combos, and some sort sweet treat for fun. Got my Starbucks coffee and water too. What’s your go to plane snack?!

Here’s what you are gonna do!! But 1st comment FREE for a high protein macro guide delivered to your DMs. 1️⃣ Get for at least 30 grams of protein every meal! Starting with breakfast. Eat filling meals and don’t hoard calories! 2️⃣ Follow a progressive overload training program at least 3 days a week. Repeating the same moves over and over for several weeks, aiming to improve in some way over the time period (increase weight/reps or improve form and execution) 3️⃣Walk. Every single day. Aim for 8-10K steps. Increase by 2k more than baseline if starting from sedentary and work way up as get comfortable. 4️⃣Get 7 hrs of sleep a night. Go to bed earlier. Stop scrolling or binge watching TV. BONUS➡️drop alcohol!! Regular alcohol will inhibit your progress. Take progress pics now and watch how different your body will look by next summer if you do these things consistently!! I’ve done these things consistently for YEARS and it’s changed my body and mind for the better. Need help with what to do in your workouts I got that covered if you join my training app! 🩷SC . . . #bodytransformations #leanmuscle #perimenopausehealth #highprotein #iifym 2025-09-07 22:51:15 .. 567 +7% 219 +298%
Speak for yourself!! I can guarantee you there are plenty of women interested in building muscle and all the health benefits that come along with it!! I guess we will see who regretted “getting bulky” in 20-30 years. All I know is muscle is helping my body getting thru perimenopause pretty dang well at age 46. But hey you do you!!

HI!! My name is Shannon. But know most by Shan or “Mooooom”. I’m 46yrs old. A registered nurse who became personal trainer and fitness coach after I had a major body and mind transformation in my late 30s. I do 1:1 and group nutrition coaching and also have training app. Married my college (Purdue) sweetheart almost 25 years ago. Mom of 17 & 18 year old daughters and the cutest twin cocker spaniels in the world. I am a Gemini, like to travel, but hate to fly/drive anywhere because I can get severely motion sick and have flight anxiety. Many times I have to be the driver because I get car sick with other people driving me. I am also extremely afraid of heights and have the “falling nightmare” all too often. I love watching and going to live sports especially college/pro basketball, but I was never athletic growing up. We go to Vegas and other places with casinos because enjoy gambling(black jack, roulette) but also sports stuff and fantasy football. Born and raised in Indiana, I hate the winters here, and I wish we would have moved years ago before kids got established in school and businesses were made. I’m stuck here for now. I love putting on makeup, doing my hair and getting dressed up, but can find me in athletic clothing or sweats most of time so the gym is my fashion show. Along with training, I enjoy walking my dogs, boating, and watching true crime shows or reality TV. Do we have stuff in common?! Love this community of strong, like minded women. Thank you for your never ending support!! 🩷SC . . . . #momssupportingmoms #onlinecoach #momswholift #workingmom #momswithmuscle 2025-09-04 22:48:07 HI!! My na.. 1,040 +96% 85 +54%
Still trying to figure out how this is OK? I’ve never used a glp1, but I have a feeling they don’t care about that. I’ve been approached about this so many times now?! How scary is it that I can just promote one and pretend like I used one and have the body I have now. Can you imagine how many vulnerable women I could convince and make money off? Just ignore the ten years of work it’s taken me to actually get to where I am today. I don’t know how we’ve gotten here. I’m all for the right people using when it is appropriate for them and their health and recommended by their doctors when all other measures have failed. I find it disturbing that this has turned into a social media/affiliate link situation and the newest diet trend is to micro dose glp1s to lose “inflammation”. It’s almost like they know it’s not right so they promote using all these other buzz words and “issues” you may have to fix to all your medical problems. Everyone needs to do their research, weigh out risk/rewards benefits. IMO, none of the risks and costs are worth it for someone who is not obese. The habits have to change long term to get off and stay off the medication. You shouldn’t be playing around with losing muscle and bone in attempts to weigh a number. Especially in midlife!! And just know these companies clearly will take any influencer/coach willing to promote and sell it to you. I could probably work for one tomorrow and starting pushing it and sell a fake story if I had no morals. Stay safe out there ladies. Talk to your health care provider who’s knows your body and history if concerned about your body fat and inability to lose fat. 🩷SC . . . . #glp1 #weightlosstips #midlife #caloriedeficit #fatlossjourney #muscleandhealth #microdosing 2025-09-02 22:13:16 .. 618 +17% 89 +62%
Your Sunday reminder 🧡🧡 Perimenopause can bring on a lot of physical and emotional changes…loss of energy, weight gain, mood swings, sleepless nights. But here’s the truth…this season doesn’t have to mean decline. It can be start to making a positive change! Things are changing, yes. But that doesn’t mean you can’t get stronger, feel energized, or build habits that support you for decades to come. Exercise, nutrition, and mindset shifts are not just for women in their 20s or 30s!! They are just (if not more!) in your 40s and beyond. You are not behind. You are not too old. You have not missed your chance. Every small step you take now—whether it’s lifting weights, prioritizing protein, going for daily walks, or setting boundaries around stress—creates a ripple effect that impacts how you feel today and how you’ll thrive in the years ahead. 🩷SC . . . . . #midlife #midlifewomen #perimenopausehealth #musclebuilding #over40 2025-09-01 00:15:48 .. 757 +43% 40 -27%
Want a free high protein macro guide? Drop word FREE below (make sure following me to get DM) To build muscle you need the fuel (plenty of protein & calories) and progressive overload training. Can’t be just going thru the motions with your workouts. There needs to be intensity, effort, and a plan. I follow the same program week after week for at least 6 weeks. During that time I’m tracking my reps and weight used and striving to get just a little bit better over time. If muscle is never challenged it won’t build and adapt to the tension! Have to get uncomfortable! If not doing this, just assume you are maintaining what you have!! 🩷SC . . . . #progressiveoverload #musclebuilding #leanmuscle #trainingtips #highprotein 2025-08-31 01:35:33 Want a free high.. 3 -99% 0 -100%
tidbits from my day yesterday.. It’s been in the 70s here recently it feels amazing. Yesterday was rainy on and off. Been busy with school back in session and down a car due to an accident. Got a good upper body session in. My shoulder has had a twinge of pain recently so not going too hard on training right now. Crossing my fingers that this doesn’t turn into full blown pain again. I admit I’ve been slacking on PT exercises recently so back on that more regularly again. I’ve started to put together new programs for mid September drop. Some exciting things coming to the app in future I’ve been working on! Still taking creatine 10g and I don’t know if it’s a coincidence, but I’m so much more hungry. This was not everything I ate, but the main meals! BuffBunny collection and Legion are both having big Labor Day sales so stock up while saving if already love these brands like me!

Been gettin some questions about how did I find out or know I was in perimenopause?! It’s definitely been more obvious the last couple years, but looking back I believe a lot of the struggles I had in late thirties likely had to do with shifting hormones. This was also a time where I unexpectedly had gained quite a bit of weight and needed to do a major overhaul on my habits because my old ways weren’t going to cut it anymore. Walking, lifting weights, eliminating alcohol, and increasing protein completely changed my mind. Those healthy habits helped my mental health as well to a point. A couple of years ago I really didn’t feel like myself and decided to seek out help and answers. That’s when my HRT journey began. Hormones are a moving target, so two years later still trying to figure out what is best for me. I’ll continue to keep you posted. Can you relate to any of this?! Let me know what questions you have?! I’ll help if able. 🩷SC . . . . #hrt #perimenopausesupport #perimenopausehealth #over40 #midlife #healthyhabits 2025-08-27 22:02:41 Been getti.. 480 -9% 45 -18%
Been doing a lot of this lately! It’s ok to just show up and go thru the motions some days! Not every single day needs to be about tracking every detail of your lift and trying to progress. Just remember if you have goals or should I say EXPECTATIONS, not every day can be like this. Expectations need to match the reality of what is happening. I’m at a place where I have a good base of muscle. It’s not that hard to maintain. It’s ok for me not to push and work on progressive overload day in and out every day. The majority of time I still work hard in gym because I know we lose muscle as we age over time and I want to prevent/slow that down as much as can. But, listening to my body/mind is also important and some days I want to just move my body in a way that feels good and have an hour break jamming out to my music. Everything has a time and place. Know when it makes sense for you! Definitely feeling like a Monday! Anyone else?! My daughter’s car is in body shop (for who knows how long) after she got hit so I’m back being her personal uber 😝. Life is always “lifeing”. Here’s to seeing the positives to every annoying situation or setback! 🩷SC . . . . . #strongmind #mindbodybalance #progressiveoverload #momlifebelike #gymtherapy 2025-08-25 22:58:42 B.. 748 +41% 53 -4%

Started taking Testosterone in late 2023 when | noticed I was experiencing a major lack of energy, difficulty getting anything done (work & home), and lack of sleep. Basically a complete lack of desire to do even the most simple tasks. Lab work showed my levels were low and warranted replacement to get me back to therapeutic female levels. Since starting I’ve noticed more energy with “life” and better sleep. Relatively back to my self, I feel l’ve lost some strength/progress in my training the last couple years and a lot of that has not returned. I’m still pushing myself as back I can, but as someone who has been tracking my lifts for years I can see that some exercises l’ve regressed with amount of weight I lift. It’s definitely not super human strength and has not completely changed my physique. Other side effects... -water retention (gained a few pounds almost immediately) -oily face and hair (feel like I should wash hair a day earlier) -more body hair (nothing extreme, but noted) I’m currently up a couple pounds from when I started the TRT in Aug 2023. As said before, I haven’t had any significant training progress since starting so don’t believe I’ve built “new muscle” since starting. Truthfully looking at pictures l’d prefer to look and FEEL how I did 2-3 years ago before any of this started, but hey this is perimenopause I guess! Drop your questions! Happy to answer if can! 🩷SC . . . . . #hrt #testosterone #musclebuilding #perimenopausehealth #over40 2025-08-23 01:16:20 .. 10 -98% 0 -100%
Low body fat and living stage lean year round is not the epitome of health!! Not sure why this message of being super lean and shredded is being promoted to women in perimenopause. We should never be focused on losing weight to a point where we are losing muscle. These pictures are 4 months apart. While I may look more muscular on right, that muscle was there in the before pic. First off I wasn’t building muscle in a calorie deficit and with a quick more aggressive deficit like this I was likely losing muscle too 😝 Build muscle and protect it at all costs ladies! 🩷SC . . . . #bodytransformation #musclebuilding #bodyrecomp #perimenopause #leanmuscle 2025-08-23 01:03:59 Low body fat and .. 3 -99% 0 -100%
SHARE with someone who needs this reminder. It’s not ok to lose muscle. That is trading one issue for another…Some people are trying to lose fat they don’t even need to lose to be shredded. I’m all for people losing NECESSARY fat to be healthy. But it can’t be done at expense of losing muscle. And people micro dosing medication to lose fat they never even needed to lose or to do so more quickly because everyone wants everything quick is crazy! I’m not sure what benefit being this low of body fat will do when you are an older adult? I’d hate to think of myself getting in a place where I can’t eat properly due to illness/injury and I’m already at ridiculously low body fat and can’t afford to lose any more. I lost 15lbs when i hurt my back. That was not expected, wanted, and put me in terrible spot physically and mentally. As a nurse I’ve seen some pretty awful things happen to people over the years that are out of their control. I’d love to hear your thoughts. This has been on my mind lately and honestly tired of some of people glamorizing things that aren’t healthy and acting like this is the new norm. I feel like we’ve worked so hard to get away from some of this thinking and we are inching back to it every day. 🩷SC . . . . . . #buildmuscle #strongmom #perimenopausehealth #over40 #musclegain #caloriedeficit 2025-08-22 21:16:29 .. 1,408 +166% 121 +120%
It was my habits and lifestyle not my age or hormones. As soon as I quit drinking, cleaned up my diet, lifted weights over cardio, and started walking I was able to stop gaining and get rid of body fat. And I don’t live a super restricted life. I eat take out multiple times a week. I don’t spend hours in gym daily. I have a busy family and job. You get to call the shots on how this story plays out! I didn’t like the way mine was going so I changed it! 🩷SC #perimenopause #musclebuilding #bodytransformations #leanmuscle #healthiswealth 2025-08-21 01:53:04 It was my habits.. 0 -100% 0 -100%
Make sure to save for your next calorie deficit!! Many tend to over complicate calorie deficit. Don’t get lost in weeds on everything you see online. One of the biggest reasons people think calorie deficit or fat loss doesn’t work for them is because they are not consistently working the plan (take evenings or weekends off) OR they are just expecting way too much too soon. They are very greedy with results. Remember…you didn’t gain all your unwanted fat in a matter of weeks. Please do not expect your body to lose it that quickly either. Hope this helps. Please let me know if does! 🩷SC Photo by erinkayphotography . . . . . #perimenopausehealth #midlife #fatlosstips #calories #iifym 2025-08-19 22:20:28 Make sure to s.. 565 +7% 21 -62%
Your Sunday reminder!! This is lifestyle change!! Not a temporary change and back to old ways!! It may take some time and repetition to replace and “rewire” habits. It takes work and intention. It doesn’t just happen with the flip of a switch. I can’t stress enough that if using food/drink to soothe your emotions and that has caused you gain fat, you have to do the hard inner emotional work/mindset work if want a long lasting change. Can’t keep putting a bandaid on these things. That may involve professional help if it’s something you can’t figure out on own! I’ve been there and I get it. It’s ok to say I need help. We don’t all have the answers. Let me know your thoughts and if have anything to add. 🩷SC . . . . #mindsetshifts #fatlossjourney #fatlosscoach #bodycomposition #buildingmuscle 2025-08-17 22:29:39 Yo.. 761 +44% 44 -20%

Finally got honest with myself AND realized change wasn’t going to happen without actually changing 🤪. If what you are doing isn’t working then why are you still doing it year after year if unhappy?! The hardest thing for me was understanding that I didn’t need to do cardio to lose fat. Cardio should be for heart and overall health. Not a strategy to lose fat…especially if your diet isn’t in check. I’m l to have found a spot where I can maintain a healthy body, feel good and still enjoy my life. It’s sustainable and doesn’t ever feel restrictive. I still eat all the food I’ve always loved, I just know how fuel myself better now so I don’t need to over consume on the fun stuff. The key is to keep going and never quit. It’s a lifestyle, not a challenge or game show with a prize. Consistent action leads to results over time so be patient. Let me know what questions you have! Or how I can help 🩷SC . . . . #over40 #midlife #healthyhabits #caloriedeficit #perimenopausehealth #fatlosstips 2025-08-12 22:32:11 .. 1,096 +107% 39 -29%
Trust me if you can give birth (and be a parent) you can handle lifting weights AND pushing yourself 🤣. Nothing will top that. In fact you may find using weightlifting as an outlet for stress it may help your parenting 🙋🏼‍♀️. The point is, you can do hard things. You aren’t fragile. You can do hard things. And you have to ability to push yourself to places that are uncomfortable. Today I am not only grateful for my daughter, but for a body that has done incredible things over the years. I’m in awe and so thankful. 🩷SC . . . . . #momswholift #fitmum #postpartumfitness #leanmuscle #buildmuscle #liftweights 2025-08-11 22:52:52 Tru.. 750 +42% 53 -4%
