Over 40? Tired, Stuck, and Frustrated With Fat Loss? Rock Your Pause. Reignite Your Metabolism. Own Your Midlife Glow Up.
Welcome to the Midlife Glow Up Academy
I help women 40+ optimize their hormones, eliminate sugar cravings, and finally burn stubborn body fat—without restrictive diets, obsessive workouts, or the burnout cycle.
Hi, I’m Christine Skrypzak—founder of The Burn Method Whole Health & Fitness and creator of the Midlife Glow Up Academy. I specialize in helping women in perimenopause and postmenopause who feel like they’re doing everything “right”—eating clean, exercising, avoiding sugar—but still can’t lose weight, feel energized, or escape the craving rollercoaster.
Here’s what most programs miss:
If you're over 40 and stuck in a fat-loss plateau, it’s likely not your effort — it’s your hormonal environment.
Stress, under-eating, sugar imbalances, overtraining, and poor sleep can throw off the entire system — affecting key hormones like:
Insulin
Cortisol
Leptin & Ghrelin
Estrogen, Progesterone, Testosterone
GLP-1 & Peptide YY
These are the levers that control your metabolism, cravings, fat storage, and even your mood. And the best part? You can optimize all of them — through smart nutrition, intentional movement, stress reduction, and sustainable habit change.
⚠️ Common Signs You’re Out of Sync:
Cravings for sugar, carbs, salt, or caffeine
Waking between 1–3 AM
“Hangry” between meals or after workouts
Fatigue worsened or improved by food
PMS, bloating, mood swings, irregular cycles
Mental fog, anxiety, or irritability
Trouble falling or staying asleep
Binge eating or lack of control with food
Chronic thirst or frequent urination
Diagnosed or suspected PCOS, insulin resistance, or thyroid issues
If you nodded “yes” to even 2 of these, your body isn’t broken — it’s asking for support, not punishment.
Read This Twice: You Are Not a Diagnosis
You don’t need an official diagnosis to validate what you’re feeling.
Whether you've been labeled with hypothyroidism, PCOS, insulin resistance, or told “this is just aging,” let me be clear:
You are not a diagnosis.
You are a dynamic, powerful woman whose body can be supported, strengthened, and optimized at every stage of life.
Your symptoms are signals — not sentences.
You don’t need more willpower.
You need a strategy designed for your biology.
