Loralie’s 10-Month Periodization Case Study
From Loralie:
My goal when I joined EPN was simple- I wanted to feel better. I’d been experiencing low energy, moodiness, weight gain, and brain fog for a few years thanks to perimenopause.
With Kate and Laura’s guidance, I focused on the basics: sleep, stress management, movement, hydration, and, of course, nutrition. And it worked. My energy level and mood increased, my sleep improved, and my anxiety and stress levels dropped. It wasn’t until I had all those boxes ticked that I went into a four-month fat-loss phase.
I can’t thank my coaches or my cohort peers enough - I’m thriving in my 50s because of their knowledge and support!
The Periodization Plan:
July 2023: Started 12-Week Intro to Maintenance Cohort
October - December 2023: 12-Week Maintenance+ Phase with her EPN continuing group.
January - April 2024: Fat Loss Phase
May- September 2024: Performance Maintenance for the summer activities.
October - December 2024: Muscle Gain phase
The Long Game:
After spending years overtraining and undereating, Loralie needed to go through 6 months of maintenance and maintenance+.
By January, Loralie was in an optimal position to start a fat-loss phase.
Loralie’s Key Takeaways of the Process:
Perimenopause doesn’t have to feel like a death march if you’re eating enough to support your body and activity level.
Change your mindset from “looking my best” to “feeling my best”
