When I lost 34 kg in 2023 at age 50, I stopped trying to lose the last 15 kg. I needed an opportunity to pause, look at what worked and what didn’t, as well as what was missing. But anyway, here I am above at 76 kg.
I then created Midlifestyle School, which has always been more than just a weight loss program. It’s a holistic approach inspired by Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, a 9-step roadmap that guides you in healing emotional eating and transforming your relationship with food, your body, and your mind. And it was designed to work through each level before graduating to the next.
But there was something missing from my 9-step hierarchy that I couldn’t quite put my finger on.
When I finally realised it wasn’t just about learning new habits a level at a time. It was about creating them and doing them, all at once.
Because real change doesn’t happen by absorbing more information. It happens through action. Daily, structured, and all laid out for you.
No more organising, planning, or trying to piece things together. It really should be as easy as simply pressing play and following along.
But even after figuring this out, I still had one lingering question…
Why do some people succeed with weight loss when they have a structured plan, while others, no matter how much they know, still struggle to stay consistent?
That’s when I realised it wasn’t just about the method itself. It was about how our brains are wired to regulate hunger, habits, and emotions.
There are actually two types of dieting brains, and depending on which one you have, your weight loss experience will either feel structured and achievable or like an uphill battle you can never win.
If you’ve struggled with weight loss, you already know it’s not as simple as ‘eat less, move more.’ Some people seem to follow a plan and succeed effortlessly, while others, no matter how much they know, fall into cycles of stress eating, cravings, and inconsistency.
It’s not a willpower issue. It’s a brain regulation issue. Something called neuroregulation.
There are two types of brains when it comes to dieting:
✔ Thrives with structure, planning, and accountability
✔ Can follow a plan and succeed but only when they have clear systems in place
✔ Without a structured plan, they struggle with consistency
✔ Needs a method that eliminates guesswork and provides direction
❌ Struggles even when they have a plan
❌ Trapped in emotional eating cycles, stress cravings, and inconsistency
❌ Knows exactly what to do, but their brain overrides logic with emotional triggers
❌ Needs a method that rewires emotional eating while also providing structure
Here’s the problem: Most weight loss programs are designed for a Type 1 Controlled Brain. They assume that if you just ‘follow the plan,’ you’ll succeed. But if you have a Type 2 Survival Brain, you already know that logic isn’t enough. You’ve tried the plans. You’ve followed the rules. And yet, you still feel stuck.
This is why my Midlifestyle Method Ecosystem works for both types of brains.
✅ If you have a Type 1 Controlled Brain, it gives you the structure you need, so weight loss finally feels effortless.
✅ If you have a Type 2 Survival Brain, it helps you rewire your emotional eating triggers, so your brain no longer works against you.
Weight loss isn’t just about food. It’s about shifting how your brain regulates hunger, habits, and emotions. So you can finally get out of survival mode and into consistency.
The Midlifestyle Hierarchy was my original framework, breaking down the essential steps to healing emotional eating, resetting hormones, and rewiring habits. But I realized that transformation shouldn’t be a slow, step-by-step process, especially for ADHD brains that need engagement, flexibility, and momentum.
As someone with ADHD, I naturally implemented everything at once. But when I documented my process, I broke it down step by step, thinking that others needed a more structured, gradual approach. Now, I completely disagree.
That’s why I evolved it into The Midlifestyle Method Ecosystem where all elements work simultaneously, not sequentially, for faster, more sustainable results.
This shift is critical because different brains need different approaches:
✔ If you have a Type 1 Controlled Brain, you thrive with structure but you also need a method that keeps you engaged and removes guesswork so you don’t lose momentum.
✔ If you have a Type 2 Survival Brain, traditional structure alone isn’t enough. You need a method that rewires emotional eating and removes the constant inner battle so you can stay consistent.
Nothing in the hierarchy is broken. It’s still the foundation. But instead of waiting to master one level before moving to the next, you apply everything at once, allowing your brain to regulate hunger, habits, and emotions in real time. This reduces overwhelm, increases consistency, and makes transformation feel natural. No more getting stuck in stop-start cycles.
And that’s exactly how my do-it-with-me daily video routines were born. Instead of piecing everything together on your own, you simply follow along as I guide you through it all. No overthinking, no second-guessing. If you’re Type 1, this gives you structure. If you’re Type 2, this rewires your emotional eating patterns.
When you don’t have to figure it out yourself, you’re able to do it all at once, naturally.
Same foundation, smarter execution. The hierarchy provides the structure. The Midlifestyle Method Ecosystem puts it into action in a way that works for your brain. Through my do-it-with-me daily video routines, Type 1 Controlled Brains get the structured plan they need, while Type 2 Survival Brains get the emotional rewiring they’ve been missing. No more guesswork. No more overwhelm. Just faster, lasting transformation.
Most weight loss programs assume that if they just give you the right information, you’ll figure it out. But that’s not how the brain works. If you’ve struggled, it’s not because you aren’t trying hard enough. It’s because these programs aren’t built for how your brain actually handles habits, cravings, and consistency.
If you have a Type 1 Controlled Brain, success comes from structure and clear direction. But most plans leave too much room for guesswork, making it hard to stay consistent.
If you have a Type 2 Survival Brain, even with a solid plan, emotional eating, stress cravings, and survival instincts take over. So no matter how much you “know,” sticking with it feels impossible.
That’s why traditional programs don’t work:
❌ They assume structure alone is enough. But for Type 2 brains, no plan will stick until emotional eating is rewired.
❌ They expect willpower to override emotional triggers. But for Type 2 brains, survival instincts always win.
❌ They leave you to figure it out on your own. But Type 1 brains lose momentum without structure, and Type 2 brains stay stuck in cycles of inconsistency.
You don’t need more diet rules or exercise plans. You need a fully structured, follow-along system that takes away the mental exhaustion of constantly trying to “stick to it” on your own.
✔ If you’re a Type 1, you get the structure and guidance you need, so staying on track feels effortless.
✔ If you’re a Type 2, you get the rewiring you need, so your brain finally stops working against you.
Instead of piecing together a plan and relying on willpower to follow through, you’ll be taking action in real-time, side by side with me, through a flexible, structured system that makes it easy to follow through.
This method brings together nutrition, movement, emotional breakthroughs, and time-efficient learning, all while fixing the root issues that made weight loss feel so hard before.
✔ Habits, routines, mindset, and emotional breakthroughs all happen at the same time.
✔ You’ll see progress right away, not just on the scale, but in how you feel and move.
✔ Motivation stays strong because you’ll see it working from day one.
No more overthinking. No more struggling to stay consistent. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by weight loss plans, this changes everything.
When you’ve got ADHD, emotional eating, or a brain that fights structure, the hardest part isn’t knowing what to do. It’s actually doing it, day after day, without getting stuck in decision fatigue, overthinking, or self-doubt.
That’s why this program is drip-fed daily, so you’re never left figuring things out on your own. No planning, no searching, no second-guessing. Just press play on today’s content and take action. Everything you need is right there, ready to go.
✔️ If you have a Type 1 Controlled Brain, this gives you the structure you need, so you always know exactly what to do.
✔️ If you have a Type 2 Survival Brain, this removes the overwhelm, so you’re not stuck in the cycle of trying, stopping, and starting again.
Here’s how it works:
✔️ Drip-fed daily. Each day unlocks automatically, so you never have to plan ahead or wonder what’s next.
✔️ No searching for answers. Workouts, meal prep, mindset shifts, and emotional reset exercises are all inside today’s session.
✔️ No decision fatigue. Just press play and follow along, step by step.
✔️ Follow along in real time. You’re not just learning, you’re doing.
✔️ See progress instantly. Because when you take action, results start from day one.
Most coaches either never struggled with their weight or lost it long before they started coaching. So they teach from the sidelines, giving advice based on a past version of themselves. They share the strategies, but there’s no live video of their journey, and no way to actually see them go through it step by step.
I’m different. I’m on this journey with you, losing weight in real time.
I’ve already lost 34 kg, but this time, I’m doing things differently. I’m only using what actually worked and leaving out everything that didn’t. That’s why this final 15 kg journey is fully documented, so you’re not just hearing about a past transformation. You’re watching it happen in real-time.
✔️ When you start, you’ll see me at 76 kg, and you’ll be at your own starting weight. Maybe 95 kg, or whatever your number is.
✔️ Over 13 weeks, we’ll both lose weight together. You might drop to 80 kg while I hit 61 kg, but we’ll get there step by step, side by side.
If you have a Type 1 Controlled Brain, you’ll have the structured plan you need to stay on track.
If you have a Type 2 Survival Brain, you’ll have the real-time support to rewire emotional eating as we go.
No struggling alone. No trying to figure it out by yourself. We’re doing this together.
✔️ My progress photos, weigh-in photos, and real-time updates so you’ll never feel like you’re doing this alone.
✔️ Your own progress unfolding alongside mine, giving you proof that this works.
✔️ The exact adjustments I make so you can fine-tune your own approach.
This isn’t just another weight loss program you try to stick to. It’s a shared experience. Real transformation, real momentum, and real results happening in real-time. It’s designed for brains that struggle with consistency, not just for those who can follow a plan perfectly from day one.
If you have ADHD or battle emotional eating, you already know how easy it is to lose motivation, second-guess yourself, or keep getting stuck in the cycle of starting and stopping. This method is different because it works with your brain, not against it.
✔️ If you have a Type 1 Controlled Brain, it gives you the structure you need so you don’t lose momentum or have to figure things out on your own.
✔️ If you have a Type 2 Survival Brain, it removes the constant battle with emotional eating so you finally feel in control instead of fighting cravings and inconsistency.
And because of that, you’ll feel:
✔️ More motivated because you’ll see it working for me in real-time, so you know it’ll work for you too.
✔️ More accountable because you’re not doing this alone or relying on willpower to keep going.
✔️ More certain in your success because weight loss will be happening right in front of your eyes, so there’s no doubt it’s working.
No more overthinking. No more wondering if you’re doing it right. Every week, you’ll see my body change and yours will too.
The 13-week Midlifestyle Method isn’t about copying my exact routines forever. It’s about helping you build the habit of having routines that actually work for your brain, even if structure has always been a struggle.
✔️ If you have a Type 1 Controlled Brain, you’ll get the structured plan you need, so weight loss finally feels effortless instead of overwhelming.
✔️ If you have a Type 2 Survival Brain, you’ll rewire emotional eating triggers, so food is no longer your only coping mechanism.
✔️ No matter which type you are, you’ll build lifelong habits that fit your life. Not a one-size-fits-all plan.
If you have ADHD or struggle with emotional eating, you already know that too much structure feels suffocating, but too little leads to chaos. This program strikes the balance. Just enough structure to keep you consistent, but flexible enough to make it work long-term.
Over 13 weeks, you’ll build daily habits that support weight loss and emotional balance. But once those habits are in place, you’ll have the freedom to make them your own.
Hate dumbbell workouts? Swap them for yoga, Pilates, or tai chi after the program.
Not into facial exercises? Use a gua sha tool instead.
Prefer daily meal prepping over weekly? Adjust it to fit your lifestyle.
Journalling not your thing? Try meditation, voice notes, or even mindful walks instead.
This isn’t about copying my exact method forever. It’s about learning how to create structure in a way that works for your brain, so you can stick with it without forcing it.
By the end of 13 weeks, you won’t just have lost weight, you’ll have built a system that makes healthy living automatic and effortless. Your Midlifestyle Fit for Purpose™.
Follow along with my daily routines, exactly as I’m doing them, to lose weight.
No guesswork, no wasting time. Just action-taking, step by step.
💡 Press play, take action, and watch your body change alongside mine.
No more waiting for motivation. No more wondering if you’re doing it right. No more overthinking, getting distracted, or struggling to stay consistent. Just press play and do it with me.
✔️ If you have a Type 1 Controlled Brain, you thrive on structured plans, but staying consistent is hard when there’s too much guesswork. This gives you a clear, step-by-step system so you never waste time figuring out what to do next.
✔️ If you have a Type 2 Survival Brain, you know what to do. But emotions, cravings, and stress override logic, making it impossible to stay on track. This keeps you engaged and accountable, so you don’t stop when survival instincts kick in.
Here’s what we’ll do together every day:
✔️ Eliminate decision fatigue – just follow along, step by step.
✔️ Meal prep together – so you never feel stuck on what to eat.
✔️ Strengthen our bodies – with dumbbell workouts & mobility stretches.
✔️ Tone our faces – with facial exercises.
✔️ Train our minds – with journaling and meditation.
✔️ Push through tough days together – so you don’t get stuck in an all-or-nothing mindset.
Each week, my body will visibly change, and so will yours.
🔹 Why It Works:
✔ Type 1 brains need a structured, guided plan. This removes all the thinking and guesswork.
✔ Type 2 brains struggle with inconsistency. This keeps you engaged so you don’t quit when emotions take over.
💡 End emotional eating by rewiring your brain & body responses in the moment.
Weight loss isn’t just about what you eat. It’s about why you eat. If you’ve ever felt out of control around food, it’s not your fault. It’s your brain’s survival wiring.
✔️ If you have a Type 1 Controlled Brain, emotional eating might not feel like a major struggle. But subtle emotional triggers can still sabotage your progress without you realising it. This helps you recognise those patterns so they don’t derail your success.
✔️ If you have a Type 2 Survival Brain, emotional eating, cravings, and stress-based overeating feel impossible to control. This method breaks that cycle in real time so you can retrain your brain while taking action.
Instead of making you sit through hours of emotional eating lessons before taking action, we tackle it in real-time, as we go.
✔️ Uncover your emotional eating triggers through guided exercises.
✔️ Use 24/7 AI coaching to work through cravings the moment they hit.
✔️ Learn to regulate your nervous system so stress no longer leads to overeating.
✔️ Rewire your mindset & identity so food stops feeling like the only way to cope.
🔹 Why It Works:
✔ Type 1 brains might not realize how emotions influence their eating. This makes those patterns clear and easy to change.
✔ Type 2 brains already know what to do but can’t stop emotional eating. This helps you break that pattern in the moment.
💡 Ditch complicated food rules. Simplify eating so it becomes automatic.
Forget calorie counting, fasting, or restrictive diets. Weight loss should feel natural, not like a full-time job.
✔️ If you have a Type 1 Controlled Brain, structured eating habits help you stay consistent. But too much decision-making around food can slow you down. This gives you a clear structure to follow so eating well becomes effortless.
✔️ If you have a Type 2 Survival Brain, meal choices feel overwhelming, and decision fatigue can lead to impulsive eating. This method simplifies eating so food stops feeling like a battle.
Here’s how we make eating easy:
✔️ Eat in a way that feels good and works for you. No rigid meal plans.
✔️ Follow a simple, flexible structure (protein, fiber, veggies, fruits, carbs, fat) to create balance.
✔️ Stop overthinking when or what to eat. Remove the mental energy drain.
✔️ Watch how I adjust my own eating in real-time, so you can see exactly how it works.
🔹 Why It Works:
✔ Type 1 brains need structure to stay consistent. This provides it without being restrictive.
✔ Type 2 brains struggle with impulsive choices. This removes overwhelm and makes healthy eating effortless.
💡 Weight loss feels easier when you’re surrounded by people on the same path.
Trying to do this alone? That’s when things fall apart.
✔️ If you have a Type 1 Controlled Brain, external accountability keeps you on track, so you don’t drift away from the plan.
✔️ If you have a Type 2 Survival Brain, real-time support stops you from quitting when emotions take over.
When you’re in this program, you’re not doing it alone.
✔️ I’m in this with you, sharing my progress every single week.
✔️ You’ll be surrounded by other women just like you, all working toward the same goal.
✔️ A structured system of accountability keeps you motivated and consistent.
✔️ Weekly live coaching calls give you personal guidance and problem-solving.
🔹 Why It Works:
✔ Type 1 brains thrive with external accountability. This provides it in real-time.
✔ Type 2 brains struggle when they feel alone. This keeps you supported so you don’t give up.
💡 Get deep weight loss insights while living your daily life.
No long lessons. No overwhelming content. You’ll learn as you go, without it feeling like extra work.
✔️ If you have a Type 1 Controlled Brain, structured learning helps you absorb information in small, actionable pieces.
✔️ If you have a Type 2 Survival Brain, real-time application keeps you engaged so you don’t get stuck in learning mode without action.
Here’s how it works:
✔️ Listen to coaching audio while meal-prepping or walking. No extra time required.
✔️ Use guided workbooks to explore your thoughts when you get home.
✔️ Get instant AI coaching whenever you need real-time support.
✔️ See my weekly data and progress, so you know exactly what to expect.
🔹 Why It Works:
✔ Type 1 brains need structure to stay engaged. This provides easy, actionable learning.
✔ Type 2 brains get overwhelmed by too much information. This breaks it down into real-time insights.
💡 When you start, you’ll see me at 76 kg, and you’ll be at your own starting weight.
💡 Each week, we’ll both be progressing, so you’ll never feel alone in the process.
💡 By the end of 13 weeks, you’ll see my final transformation and yours, too.
If you’ve ever felt like sticking with weight loss is impossible, you’re not alone.
✔️ If you have a Type 1 Controlled Brain, motivation isn’t your problem but without a clear structure, it’s easy to lose momentum. This program gives you a step-by-step system, so you never feel stuck or unsure of what to do next.
✔️ If you have a Type 2 Survival Brain, you know exactly what to do but stress, cravings, and emotions keep pulling you off track. This program rewires those patterns as you go, so you finally feel in control.
This isn’t just about what you lose.
It’s about who you become.
This time, weight loss won’t feel like a struggle. It will feel like progress you can finally stick to.
Are you ready to lose weight with me? Let’s do this together.
Week 1:
You will feel full and very satisfied. You’re curious about delving more into the root cause of your emotional eating. You will feel sore after all the exercise (including facial exercise) and stretching but very proud. You will lose up to 1.2 kg or up to 12 cm off your body. You will realise how much time is saved during the week due to meal-prepping. You feel a huge achievement and trust the process. You’re excited for Week 2.
Week 2:
You continue to feel full and very satisfied and may start to eat only twice a day on some days because you’re listening to your hunger cues. You’re feeling seen and heard around your emotional eating struggles. You will feel sore after all the exercise (including facial exercise) and stretching and begin to feel stronger. You will lose up to 0.4 kg or up to 4 cm off your body. You feel strange with the extra time saved from meal-prepping allowing you to engage in self-care. You feel slightly disappointed compared to Week 1 but continue to trust the process due to support in the program. You’re excited for Week 3’s results.
Week 3:
You continue to feel full and very satisfied and decide to listen to your hunger cues and eat when you feel hungry. You’re experiencing breakthroughs with your emotional eating. You will see traces of definition on your shoulders, arms, upper back, abdominals and even legs. You will lose up to 1 kg or up to 10 cm off your body. You will start to adapt to the routines and habits. Your expectations are realigned and can see that consistency brings results that are not visible everyday and can happen overnight. You’re excited for Week 4’s results.
Week 4:
You find you’re not eating 3 meals a day because you’re simply not hungry. You’re very self-aware of triggers and urges with your emotional eating and your progress is motivating for you. You will see a little more definition on your shoulders, arms, upper back, abdominals and even legs. You will lose up to 0.4 kg or up to 10 cm off your body. You will start to question everything you’ve ever known about weighing yourself because the number on the scales (kg lost) doesn’t match that you’ve lost a dress size, even though you’ve lost approximately 4 kg in four weeks (and you’ve always known it to be 6 kg per dress size). Your face has also slimmed and you’re seeing less wrinkles around your eyes. Your skin everywhere is starting to feel firmer. You can actually feel the muscles beneath the fat, feeling firm. In hindsight, you now realise it’s not been as difficult as you’d imagined and the return on investment (your hard work) has exceeded your expectations. Whilst it’s not easy following through on these habits and routines, it’s also not hard. It’s just that you feel “unfamiliar” because this is your new identity. It feels great but strange. You’re excited for Week 5’s results.
Week 5:
You continue to eat between 2-3 meals a day because you’re simply not hungry. This week you’re giving yourself a break from dumbbell workouts and just walking this week. You will lose up to 0.5 kg or up to 10 cm off your body. You’re feeling much stronger. And it feels nice taking this week off allowing your body to recalibrate and recover with less intense exercise. You’re excited for Week 6’s results.
