Hormone-First Nutrition
Your macros are built around your schedule, stress, and sleep. Not a cookie-cutter calorie target. When your hormones shift, your plan shifts with them.

As seen on
For the woman
who is done starting over.
You’ve started over enough times to know the plan matters more than the effort. The 35+ Metabolic Reset is built for your body at this stage, so the results actually stick.
35+ METABOLIC RESET METHOD™
A coaching system built specifically for women in perimenopause and menopause.
Build strength, lose fat, and feel like yourself again. Without counting calories or needing a gym membership. With a method that works with your hormones, not against them.
What makes it different
Strength Over Cardio
Muscle is the metabolic currency women lose fastest after 35. More muscle means a higher metabolism and sustainable fat loss. That's why we prioritize building it.
Weekly Plan Adaptation
Your coach checks in every week and adjusts based on what's working. No rigid meal plans. No forcing yourself through something that's failing.
1:1 Video Coaching, Not Group Calls
You get personalized video guidance answering your specific questions. Not generic advice for a Facebook group of 500 women.
This method has helped 1000+ women build the body they stopped believing was possible.
No risk
Our Results Guarantee
If you haven't hit the result we set together on your onboarding call, we keep coaching you for free until you do.
Watch: why the old rules stopped working

why this works when other programs don't
Generic fitness plans fail because they treat every woman the same. But after 35, your hormones, metabolism, and recovery needs are fundamentally different.
Our 35+ Metabolic Reset Method™ is built specifically for this shift—combining hormone-first nutrition, strength-based training, and weekly plan adaptation to work with your biology, not against it.
Already on GLP-1s? Thinking About It, or Want Nothing To Do With Them
GLP-1s and peptides have changed the game. We know firsthand they can be life-changing when done right. We've seen it.
We've also seen what happens without the right foundation. Women losing weight fast without a strength plan lose muscle with it. The scale moves. They flatten out. Lose the muscle along with the fat, and the curves with it. And when they stop, the weight comes back. Usually with a little extra. Because the root cause was never addressed.
Already on Them
Do it right. Make it count. The medication changes your appetite. It doesn't build muscle or tell your body where to pull from. That's where we come in. A strength foundation is what keeps you losing fat instead of losing muscle. It's what makes the results look the way you want. And when you eventually get off them, the results stay because you fixed the root cause.
Thinking About It
Start with the Metabolic Reset. The foundation typically gets the job done. And if you ever want to explore more support down the road, we have a hormone and functional medicine practitioner on our team. That's a conversation we can have down the road, if it's even needed. There are always options to optimize results and take you to the next level.
Starting From Scratch
Most women come to us here. No prescriptions. No medications. Just the foundation. Strength. Protein. Recovery. Progressive overload designed to build lean muscle and fire up your metabolic burn. A generic plan was holding you back. The foundation is the strategy. And it typically gets the job done.
The medication changes the input. The method determines the outcome.
Frequently Asked Questions
It depends on you, so I won't promise you a date.
In our experience, a lot of women notice their energy and bloat change first, often in the first couple of weeks. Their clothes tend to follow.
For the full 8 weeks, you and your coach set a realistic goal together on your onboarding call. We've helped 1,000+ women lose 10 to 20 lbs of fat in 8 weeks.
Full answer: How fast will I see results, and what's realistic in 8 weeks?
Yes. Every workout is a follow-along video. I'm on camera doing every one, and Chris coaches my form in real time, with easier and harder options for every move.
You start lighter, learn the movements and build from there.
Full answer: Can I really strength train at home if I've never lifted?
Most of what you've tried gave you one piece. A nutritionist handled your food. A trainer handled your workouts. An app handed you a plan.
The 35+ Metabolic Reset Method puts nutrition, strength training and coaching into one plan, built for your body in perimenopause and adjusted every week by one coach.
Full answer: How is this different from the nutritionist, trainer or program I already did?
About 4 to 5 hours a week, all in. That's five follow-along workouts at home of about 50 minutes each (one is optional), a bit of food prep and one weekly check-in with your coach.
No gym, no commute, no class times.
Full answer: How much time does this actually take?
Every week. You have a weekly check-in with your own coach, a Precision Nutrition certified woman over 40 who has done the Reset herself. She looks at your week with you and adjusts your plan for the next one.
Between check-ins, you can reach her any time with the "is this normal?" questions.
Full answer: Is Forty Forward legit, and who actually coaches me?
No. No calorie counting, no food scales, no macro tracking.
Your coach does the math up front and turns it into a simple plan built around real food you enjoy. You use your own hand to size portions.
Like numbers? Macro coaching is available on request. Your choice, never a requirement.
Full answer: Do I have to count calories, weigh my food or track macros to lose fat after 40?
A set of dumbbells, a Swiss ball and some fabric bands, plus your own bodyweight. No bench, no machines.
Prefer your gym? You can do the workouts there too.
Full answer: What equipment do I need, and can I do the workouts at my gym?
Yes! Clients get my library of 400+ high-protein recipes. Real food the whole family will actually eat.
Want a taste first? A bunch of my favourites are free on Elle's Recipes.
Around week 7, you book a call with your coach to map out what comes next. Many women continue into Metabolic Mastery, our ongoing coaching, which shifts the focus to building strength and muscle.
Either way, you leave knowing how to eat, train and recover for the body you have now.
Full answer: What happens after the 8 weeks?
If you're 35+ and your doctor has cleared you to exercise, yes. We coach moms in their late 30s and 40s, some just months after having a baby.
We adjust the start to where your body is, and your coach swaps core moves when needed.
Still breastfeeding? Fat loss is often slower while you are, so we set your goal with that in mind.
Watch the short video on this page, then apply for a call with Chris.
He reads every application himself. On the call, you both decide whether it's the right fit. No pressure.
