The Strong Years
An 8-week live program for women aged 40 to 65. Personalised training and nutrition from a menopause coach, and a small circle of women going through exactly the same thing.
In eight weeks
Getting up from a chair, climbing steps, lifting a grandchild. The ordinary things stop being hard.
No more waking at 3am and lying there till morning.
After menopause, bone loss speeds up quietly. Strength training slows it down. Every month you wait costs you.
Not by eating less. By eating properly and building muscle, which is what actually shifts it after 40.
Most women here arrive unable to digest protein properly. That gets fixed early.
This is the one you will never ask for, and the one you need most.
You spent thirty years feeding everyone else first. Nobody told you about protein. Nobody told you about bones. Nobody warned you that muscle starts disappearing in your forties.
Fitness was never offered to you.
So this is not about willpower. You were never given the information, and the advice you do find was written for a woman with a completely different life.
What you get
Forty five minutes, camera on, corrected by name. Every exercise has an easy version and a harder one, so knee pain is never a reason to sit out.
Made from your own reports, your health conditions and what you actually cook at home. Not a fixed chart you will abandon by week three.
Why am I gaining weight around my belly. Is protein safe for my kidneys. Will lifting make me bulky. Every question you have been too shy to ask your doctor.
The same handful of women, every session, for eight weeks. Long enough that they know each other properly.
Before training begins, so you start already understanding why your body changed.
The part nobody mentions
Your friends do not talk about it. Your family does not understand it. Your doctor has ten minutes.
When another woman your age says she slept through the night, or lifted something she could not lift last month, it lands in a way no advice ever does. That is why the circle stays small and stays closed.
How it runs
A form covering your medical history, medication, reports and what you eat in a normal day. I read every one myself.
Slow and supported. Nothing that frightens you.
Weight goes up, energy comes back, and the eating stops feeling like a diet.
We look at how far you have come and plan what comes next.
Who it is for
Real women
"I've lost 7 kgs in 2 months and 6 inches off my waist. My surgeon said I could never sit on the floor or jump after my knee replacement surgery, but I can easily do both now. I could also avoid a hip fracture because of your strength training guidance."
Preeti, post-menopausal, after knee replacement
"In this one and a half month with your guidance I have really realised that I am feeling very very light on my body. I have problem of constant bloating and acidity so I was unable to digest any kind of protein but with your guidance and with your support now I am taking plant protein and I am able to digest it. Also I am starting my peri menopausal stage and I was like kind of started facing problems with it but yes in this one and a half month I am feeling change in that also."
Neha Agarwal, perimenopausal
"Your program has changed my outlook for exercise. And I am following your instructions and lifting heavier weights easily now, and feeling stronger also."
Deepti Ji, post-menopausal
Who you will work with
I watched the women in my own family reach their fifties with no idea what was happening to their bodies. My mother, my aunts, their friends. Capable women, given nothing useful by anyone.
So I went and learned it properly. I am trained in menopause physiology, training and nutrition by Dr. Stacy Sims, and I spend my time sitting with Indian women, asking what their days actually look like and where the usual advice falls apart.
Common questions
Yes. Sessions are timed to work whether you are in Pune or New Jersey.
Most women here have not. Week one might be a chair, a wall and a ten minute walk. That is a real starting point.
No. A chair and a wall to begin with.
All common at this age. Message me, keep your doctor in the loop, and I will build around your reports.
No. Plans that ban normal food get abandoned. We change proportions and add protein instead.
One tap on a link, nothing to install. I walk you through it before day one.
You will not fall behind. Tell me and we adjust.
The first four to six weeks are mostly internal. Better energy, better sleep, less pain on the stairs. Visible change comes after that.
Message me and tell me a little about yourself. I will tell you honestly whether this is right for you.
