High intensity cardio is a form of chronic stress on your body, which raises cortisol levels (your stress hormone) and can work against your fat loss goals.
High cortisol disrupts sleep, which messes with your hunger hormones, causes your body to hold on to fat (especially around the midsection), and can cause muscle loss.
Instead of intense cardio, focus on strength training instead.
It helps build and maintain lean muscle—which is key to keeping a strong metabolism.
Without it, muscle loss naturally occurs in our 30s and beyond… and less muscle means a slower metabolism.
Want to ease into strength training without the guesswork? I’ve got you. Get a free week of workouts to start building strength and supporting your metabolism over 35.
Just comment “I’M IN” or shoot me a DM and I’ll send it over!

Let’s face it.. you're not in your twenties anymore..
Your body has changed—and your strategy needs to as well.
It’s not about dropping calories lower or doing more cardio.
Here are 3 things that need to be non-negotiable for women in their 30s and above if you want long-term results:
1- Strength training: Your metabolism isn’t slowing with age, but losing muscle mass slows metabolism. Lift weights to keep your metabolism thriving!
2-Prioritize protein- Keeps you full and preserves muscle while you lose fat. Most women aren’t eating nearly enough.
3- Stop undereating- Constantly undereating messes with hormones & can slow your metabolism, making fat loss harder, not easier. Your body isn’t broken. It’s just tired of not getting enough fuel.
These habits support your metabolism, your hormones, and your energy—which matter more as you get older, especially for fat loss.

I love peanut butter and used to eat it by the spoonful.
When I got serious about my weight loss journey and started tracking macros, I’ll never forget the disappointment when I measured and discovered what a true serving size (32g) of peanut butter looks like. 😂
I became so much more mindful about nutrition, proper portion sizes, and just how quickly calories can add up from calorie dense foods such as peanut butter.
I’d love to know a food that made you feel similar when you saw the true serving size. Drop it in the comments!

1,200 calories or less a day.
Coffee for breakfast.
Salad for lunch
Carrot sticks for snack
Chicken & broccoli for dinner
I was so good…
Until I wasn’t.
Every few days, I’d give in to my cravings, raid the pantry, overeat, and feel like I had no willpower.
I’d start over the next day—stricter, more determined.
But the cycle always repeated.
Because the truth is… I wasn’t failing.
That plan was.
It wasn’t until I started eating more—that everything changed.
Because I was no longer starving myself, I wasn’t battling cravings all day.
And that made it much easier to stick with it.
For once, weight loss didn’t feel like a punishment—it felt sustainable.
You don’t need to eat less and less…you just need to eat smarter.
DM me MORE and I'll send you a training breaking down exactly how I did it.

I didn’t need more discipline. I needed a better plan.
For years, I thought I just lacked willpower.
I’d try to be perfect, follow super restrictive rules, cut out my favorite foods…
And when I “messed up” (aka acted like a normal human and had pizza or dessert), I’d spiral. Tell myself I’d start over on Monday and really stick to it this time.
But the truth is: It wasn’t me.
It was the plan.
I finally realized I didn’t need another diet.
I needed a sustainable approach that actually fit my lifestyle—
✅ One that let me eat foods I love
✅ Didn’t make me feel like I failed for living my life
✅ And helped me stay consistent, not perfect
And now I help create customized plans that fit the lifestyle of my clients as well through my 1:1 coaching.
Curious what a plan like this looks like? I’d love to show you! Message me ‘coaching’ and I’ll send over the details.

The "high-risk" label can feel heavy.
It can spark fear, doubt, and a hundred “what ifs.”
But being over 35 doesn’t mean you’re guaranteed complications. And it definitely doesn’t mean you can’t have a strong, empowered, healthy pregnancy.
Because while I couldn’t change the “high-risk” or "geriatric pregnancy" label, I could take ownership of how I showed up for my body each day—nourishing it with nutritious food, staying active, and getting plenty of rest.
And I can proudly say—I had a strong, healthy pregnancy.
A smooth delivery.
And now I'm the mom of a beautiful, healthy baby girl🤱
If you've been told you're high risk, don't let it shake your belief in what's possible! ❤️

I would end up binge eating..
I know this may sound crazy but hear me out...
For too long, women were led to believe they had to eat 1200 calories in order to lose weight.
I know for me personally it was the number My FitnessPal calculated for me so I trusted it had to be right.
But I, like many of us, was not able to sustain this low calorie diet because it’s not realistic long term for your body and energy.
Even if I hit my 1200 calorie goal on some days, other days I was so hungry and had intense cravings that I would end up binge eating, causing my overall calorie intake for the week to either maintain my current weight or gain weight.
And that is one of the reasons I kept gaining and losing the same pounds over and over again, causing me to beat myself up for failing.
But here's the other problem: even if you've been eating 1200 calories consistently for a long time and suddenly are no longer seeing results, it's possible your metabolism has adapted to that number.
When you consistently under-eat, your body adjusts by slowing down to conserve energy, making it harder to lose weight even at low calories. :( hence plateau
Once I started eating more calories (and believe me this was a hard concept to adjust to initially),it was much easier to stick to my calorie and macro goals consistently and that is when I finally started to see long-lasting results.
A slight calorie deficit is all you need to lose weight in a healthy, sustainable way.
Shoot me a DM if you resonated with this.

I cut out carbs. I cut out sweets. I cut out dairy.
I thought weight loss meant cutting out foods I love.
I was even convinced I had to eat plain chicken & broccoli for all my meals in order to lose weight.
And sure, I’d lose a few pounds for a couple of weeks, but it never lasted.
Because eventually, I’d give in, eat all the foods I had been avoiding, and feel like I had failed—AGAIN…
Sound familiar?
Finally I got sick of starting over and decided to make a real change.
When I started working with a coach & tracking macros, I learned it was all about balance.
Instead of focusing on what to avoid, I focused on what to add to make my meals more balanced:
✅ Protein to keep me full and support muscle growth & fat loss (chicken, cottage cheese, Greek yogurt)
✅ Fiber to help with digestion and satiety (veggies, fruits, whole grains)
✅ Healthy fats for hormone health and satisfaction (avocado, nuts, olive oil)
✅ Carbs for energy (rice, potatoes, bread)
Now I focus on whole foods 80% of the time for overall health and fit in my favorite fun foods like ice cream, pizza, & cookies the remaining 20% of the time.
I help women across the nation do this too!
If you want to learn more about reaching your goals without cutting out foods you love, drop a 🍦 below and I’ll send you my free training.

I’m not trying to get my old body back—because that body never did what this one has.
Feeling ready to lose the baby weight?
While it’s tempting to immediately want to lose the baby weight right away, the most important thing for me is rebuilding my strength & muscle mass postpartum.
This helps the body heal, rebuild, and function better so I can feel my best especially after all the physical changes of pregnancy and childbirth.
In order to build strength and muscle, I need to support this goal with the correct nutrition approach.
Rather than immediately entering a calorie deficit to lose weight, I am fueling my body with enough calories and nutrients (esp protein) to support muscle growth.
After spending time building strength & muscle (at least 6 months), I’ll eventually enter a fat loss phase to lose the excess body fat.
But even until then, I will still see improvements in body composition (less body fat & more muscle mass) just by building muscle.
But I am looking forward to working toward new goals and seeing what my body is capable of.
If you’re in this season too, give yourself grace and patience.
Focus on nourishing your body, building strength, and creating habits that actually work long-term, rather than jumping into extreme methods that will only make things harder in the long run.

Here’s the secret..
It’s not a cream, supplement, surgery, or botox.
It’s strength training.
Muscle is the best anti-aging 'hack' out there, allowing me to look & feel my best in my late 30s than I ever did in my 20s.
It helps:
-Keep me strong and capable
-Strengthen bones, reducing the risk of osteoporosis and fractures
-Improve posture and stability, which helps prevent aches, pains, and hunched-over look associated with aging
-Increases circulation and collagen production—giving skin that healthy, natural glow
-Keep me mobile to keep doing what I love, whether it’s traveling or playing with my daughter

Same weight. Different body composition.
And I didn’t cut calories or jump into a diet to make it happen.
Here’s what I did:
-Fuel my body with foods that gave me energy & mental clarity
-Strength training 3x a week so I could build muscle while dropping fat
-Eat at least 120g of protein daily
-Balancing nutrient dense foods with foods I love (80/20 approach)
-Getting at least 8000 steps a day
-Focus on consistency over perfection because let's be real, motherhood is unpredictable
Body recomposition happens when you focus on getting strong and fueling your body with enough food- you can't see it on the scale but I’m losing fat & building muscle at the same time.
My goal is to be strong, healthy, and energized for this season of life. 💪🚶♀️👶
Postpartum mamas, you don’t have to starve yourself to see changes. You just need the right approach.

Eating more food at 39 and NOT gaining weight?
It sounds too good to be true, right? But hear me out…
For years, I thought the key to weight loss was eating less and less.
I’d cut calories, skip meals, restrict foods, and still felt like my body wasn’t responding.
The thought of eating more food was terrifying.
But it’s exactly what has been the game-changer for me—and it can be for you, too!
I learned that eating enough is key to supporting my metabolism, hormones, and overall well-being.
Now I help women do the same with my 1:1 coaching.
When you eat too little calories, it is a stress on the body causing the stress hormone, cortisol, to rise.
This chronic stress makes fat loss harder because your body is in fight or flight mode.
But when you eat enough, you signal to your body that it’s safe and nourished, which lowers cortisol and helps keep your hormones in balance.
This results in less stress on your body, making fat loss easier.
If you’re over 35, eating enough isn’t just about making weight loss more sustainable —it’s about giving your body the fuel it needs to function optimally for you and your family.
It’s time to manage stress & hormones so you can feel your best.
Want to know more tips on how to eat more? DM me “FOOD” and I’ll send them to you!

The all or nothing mindset kept me stuck at home and missing out..
Every time I had dinner plans or got invited out, it felt like a choice—either stay home to stick with my diet or go and completely ruin progress.
But here’s the thing… I wasn’t struggling because I was going out to eat—I was struggling because every time I did, I told myself I “ruined” everything, which only made me feel guilty and angry with myself.
“Well, I already blew it, might as well keep going and start over on Monday”
That cycle? Exhausting.
And honestly, it’s why I stayed stuck for so long.
Turns out I didn’t need to cut out restaurants to lose weight.
What I needed was a more flexible plan (thank you macros!).
Now, when I go out to eat, I know how to:
✔️ Plan ahead to make the meal fit into my day
✔️ Prioritize protein
✔️ Balance my other meals around it
✔️ Confidently estimate portions without stress
✔️ Ditch the guilt & enjoy the moment
I order exactly what I want knowing one meal won’t ruin my progress.
Learning how to eat in a way that worked for my life—not against it—changed everything.

You’re eating healthy but making this mistake ⬇️
Overeating foods that are considered “healthy.”
Maybe you are like me.. I thought just by focusing on these foods alone I would lose weight.
But I wasn’t, and feeling frustrated with it. Sometimes I was even gaining weight.
When I started working with a personalized macro coach, I learned healthy food doesn’t automatically = weight loss.
What means the most is eating in a calorie deficit.
Even though I was eating clean, 2500 calories is more than my body requires to lose weight.
So while focusing on nutrient dense food is important for your overall health, that alone isn’t enough for weight loss if you’re eating too many calories.
If eating clean isn’t working for you, DM me and I’ll help you figure out the steps for you to finally lose some weight.

No bread. No pasta. No dessert. Basically no fun.
These are the rules you need to lose weight?
All that excitement you had turns into frustration because, deep down, you know how this ends.
You’ll follow the rules for a while, but eventually, the cravings win.
You “give in,” feel like you failed (again), and wonder why you can never stick to it.
But the problem isn’t you. It’s the restrictive diets that make weight loss feel like a punishment.
I have good news...there’s a better way—one where you can eat the foods you love while fueling your body and making real progress.
Macros give you that freedom. No more guilt, no more starting over, just learning how to make it all work for you.
Because let's be real- if losing weight means giving up everything that makes food enjoyable… it’s not a diet worth doing.

These are the rules you need to lose weight?
All that excitement you had turns into frustration because, deep down, you know how this ends.
You’ll follow the rules for a while, but eventually, the cravings win.
You “give in,” feel like you failed (again), and wonder why you can never stick to it.
But the problem isn’t you. It’s the restrictive diets that make weight loss feel like a punishment.
I have good news...there’s a better way—one where you can eat the foods you love while fueling your body and making real progress.
Macros give you that freedom. No more guilt, no more starting over, just learning how to make it all work for you.
Because let's be real- if losing weight means giving up everything that makes food enjoyable… it’s not a diet worth doing.

Your body isn't broken....
It just adapted.
But the good news is you're not stuck forever!
A reverse diet allows your metabolism to thrive again so you can continue making progress, without having to cut calories even more.

I didn’t think it was possible to boost metabolism, let alone boost it in my late 30s.
I thought if anything my metabolism would slow down as I got older and I would just have to compensate by eating less.
Makes sense right?
But turns out, metabolism does not actually slow down until we are in our 60s and it was actually my habits.
Eating too little was causing my metabolism to down-regulate & adapt to a smaller calorie intake.
Only focusing on high intensity cardio was putting too much stress on my body, elevating cortisol levels, and causing me to lose muscle mass. (and muscle is needed
Once I started focusing more on:
Strength training & daily movement > cardio
Increasing calories & protein> 1200 calorie diets
I was finally supporting muscle growth, energy levels, & hormones crucial for long-term metabolic health.
If you’re tired of feeling like your metabolism is working against you, I can help you turn it around. Let’s chat—DM me ‘METABOLISM’ to get started!

The way you think about your weight loss journey matters more than you realize!
You don't have to be perfect to make progress, this only causes you to stay stuck by constantly quitting & starting over.
But when you focus on consistency over perfection, you build habits and results that last long-term. 🚶♀️🏋️♀️🛌🌮🥦🍨

I was so desperate to lose weight that I was trying everything.
I kept thinking maybe this will finally be the diet that works for me.
But it never was.
These diets all worked until they stopped working.
They were all about strict rules, restrictions, & cutting things out and I just couldn’t stick to them long-term.
They didn’t teach me anything about nutrition so that I could make lasting, realistic changes that fit my life. (a life where I could enjoy social events, holidays, & my favorite foods without ruining my diet)
I would love to know which of these diets you’ve tried. Let me know in the comments!

Totally worth it!
Now that I'm a mom, working out at home is much easier to fit into my schedule than going to the gym so it was time for a new addition to the home gym.
I'm someone who always feels guilty when it comes to spending money, but then I realized spending money on things that support health—whether it’s a gym membership, workout equipment, quality food, or coaching—is so worth it.
It’s easy to justify spending money on other people or things that feel “necessary,” but taking care of yourself is just as important.
Prioritizing your health isn’t a luxury—it’s an investment that pays off in energy, confidence, and longevity. 🎉☺️💪
Super excited to level up my fitness journey!

The scale can be so discouraging...
If you've ever stepped on the scale only to be completely discouraged, I totally get it because I have been there.
But the scale does not define your progress and the scale increases for so many reasons.
Focus on non-scale victories instead, including how you feel because that is worth celebrating 🎉
Don't forget to save this to refer back to the next time you feel frustrated by the scale.

Imagine this.. It’s the birthday of a family member… there’s a beautiful cake and all you can think about is the calories….
As the cake is being sliced and the plates passed around, the thoughts rush in.
"I can’t eat this. I’ll undo all the progress I’ve made on my diet."
"I’ll just have a small piece? No, that’ll turn into a complete binge."
"Everyone else is enjoying their cake carefree, why can't I?"
You push the plate away, pretending you don’t want it, because you’re trying to be ‘good.’
But instead of feeling proud, you feel left out, frustrated, and angry.
This used to be me.
But tracking macros changed everything for me, because there are no foods that are “off-limits.”
Now I can enjoy the piece of cake while celebrating & making memories with family, without fear of losing all my progress.
And I’m not alone. So many of my clients once felt the same way, until I taught them how to navigate social events without guilt—because they know how to balance their nutrition in a way that works for real life.
If you’ve ever felt this way,I promise you—you don’t have to choose between your health & fitness goals and making memories with your family. Comment "BIRTHDAY” below to book a free consult call.

This mistake was the hardest to overcome…
I used to think that losing weight meant giving up all the foods I loved. And honestly? That thought alone made me feel like I’d never be able to reach my goals.
But learning how to track macros changed everything. I realized I could still enjoy my favorite foods in moderation while making progress—and that’s exactly what I teach my clients in my 1:1 coaching program.
Because you don’t have to choose between food and results. You just need the right strategy.

I tried everything: Nutrisystem, Jenny Craig, Atkins, Slim Fast, Special K, Weight Watchers, Beachbody portion fix… even magazine diets like “Flat Belly Diet” and “Lose 10 lbs in 30 Days.”
Every plan was too restrictive, left me hungry, and taught me nothing about nutrition.
This may sound familiar…
For years, I struggled with my weight. In high school, I started going to the gym, focusing only on cardio. I kept it up through college, but no matter how long or intense my workouts were, nothing changed. I blamed my genetics and metabolism, thinking I’d never feel good in my skin.
I saw diet ads promising quick weight loss and realized my workouts weren’t enough—I needed to change my nutrition.
But with these diets, anytime I ate something “bad” or “off-limits,” I’d spiral and tell myself, I’ll just start over on Monday, which caused me to keep losing & gaining the same 15-20 pounds.
In 2022, I finally hired a macros coach. I wanted to eat foods that I love and still reach my goals—I didn’t believe it at first, but figured I had nothing to lose.
Let me tell you, it was the best decision I ever made.
Now as a woman over 35, I learned that everything I had been doing—skipping meals, cutting out foods I loved, undereating, endless cardio—was doing more harm than good for my metabolism.
With macros, I’m eating more than I ever have, without worrying about losing my progress or results. Paired with strength training and simple habits, my body transformed, and I felt better in my late 30s than I ever did in my 20s.
Now I get to help other women break the yo-yo diet cycle, show them a sustainable way to lose weight, and keep it off. In 2023, I became a Certified Macros Coach & Personal Trainer and officially started Healthy Glow with Gina. My mission is to help women achieve their health & fitness goals in a way that is simple, sustainable, and enjoyable so they can feel their best from the inside out.

Cardio is not the best workout for weight loss.
While some cardio is great for heart health, too much of it was making me more tired & hungry, causing me to overeat.
I also didn't know at the time that too much high intensity cardio is a huge stress on the body and can actually make weight loss harder.
Strength training has helped me improve my body composition (less fat/more muscle), feel stronger, and boosted my metabolism allowing me to eat more food, which was a huge win for me as a foodie!
Even just 2 strength training workouts a week is enough to see a huge difference!
Is there anything currently holding you back from strength training? Let me know in the comments!
