The Perimenopause Dietยฎ presents
5 Days to Slay
the Holidays
A free challenge for women who are done surviving the season and ready to feel strong, clear-headed, and completely in control of what happens to their body this year.
Yes, I'm In โ Count Me There No more guessing, just confidence in yourself again.
Sound familiar?
Every year you tell yourself
this time will be different.
You eat clean. You're active. You're doing everything right. But nothing has changed this year. And then November hits and somehow, by January, you're 5-10 lbs heavier, bloated, your energy is wrecked, and you feel like you're starting over. Again.
That's not a willpower problem. That's a metabolic problem. And it's completely fixable.
Here's what nobody tells you: the last 6 weeks of the year don't have to be damage control. You don't have to white-knuckle through cookie plates and holiday dinners hoping January will fix it. You can actually feel amazing during the holidays. Clear-headed. Energized. Not bloated. In control of your choices. And you can finish December lighter and more confident than you started it, even if this entire last year hasn't gone your way.
This isn't about doing more of the same. It's about finally doing the right things for your body and seeing progress when it matters most.
- You're strength training, hitting your steps, focusing on protein, and still not seeing results
- You feel bloated, puffy, and inflamed no matter how "clean" you eat
- You lose weight in January, slowly gain it back, and you're exhausted by the cycle
- Energy crashes in the afternoon, sleep is hit or miss, and your brain feels foggy most days
- You go all-or-nothing every holiday season and end up feeling like you failed before February even starts
- You want a natural approach that works with your body, not another plan that just piles on more rules
What's actually happening
Your body isn't broken.
It's missing the right strategy.
What worked in your 30s stopped working, and no amount of trying harder will close that gap. Strategy closes it. And the mindset shift that goes with it changes everything.
Most women approach the holidays the same way they approach every diet: with rules, restriction, and an all-or-nothing mentality that falls apart the second they eat something "off plan." One indulgent dinner becomes a week of guilt. One skipped workout becomes a month of doing nothing. Sound familiar?
"Most days I feel defeated because I'm trying so hard and not seeing the results. I work out at least 5 days a week and instead of being 10 lbs away from my goal weight it's increased to almost 20 lbs."
What we hear from women every single dayHere's the shift: eating something off plan at a few meals doesn't mean you failed. It means you're human. What matters is your daily inputs, your foundation, and what you do consistently, not perfectly. When you stop being a dieter and start being a healthy woman, the holidays become something you actually enjoy instead of something you survive.
This challenge builds the foundation that will carry you through December and beyond. Five days. Real strategy. No starting over in January.

Monday, November 16 โ Live Kickoff at 12pm EST
Feed Your Metabolism, Not Your Cravings
We start with the foundation: what it actually means to be a healthy woman this holiday season. You'll get your full week eating plan and workout schedule, plus the mindset shift that changes everything. Eating something "off plan" at a few meals doesn't mean you failed. We're establishing the daily inputs that matter and the foundation that carries you through December.

Blood Sugar Balance First, Everything Else Second
That 3pm crash, the cravings after dinner, the feeling of being out of control at holiday parties? It's not a character flaw. It's biology. When you stabilize blood sugar, you stabilize stress hormones, reduce belly fat, improve your mood, and eliminate cravings. No deprivation, no skipping meals. Just fueling consistently so you stay in control.

Inflammation: The Holiday Trigger Nobody Talks About
It's not just about eating clean. It's about fueling well. Inflammation keeps you puffy, throws off your hormones, and makes your body hold on to weight no matter how hard you try. When you shift your focus from calories and macros to what actually reduces inflammation, you go to the holiday party and feel great the next day.

Support Your Body. More Workouts Are Not the Answer.
This is the identity shift. You're not a dieter white-knuckling through December. You're a healthy woman who keeps her foundational habits and approaches each day and event with balance. In perimenopause, it's not about doing more of the same. It's about learning what it means to fuel and move in a way that actually works for this phase of your life.
Friday, November 20 โ Live Wrap-Up Call at 12pm EST
Slay the Season and Lock In Your Wins
Strategy, not willpower. We celebrate what shifted this week, you walk away with a clear path through the rest of the holidays, and we talk about what's next. You started this challenge this week. You finish December differently.
Women just like you
These aren't transformations.
These are women who found the right strategy.
They were doing everything right. Protein, steps, clean eating. The difference was building a foundation that works with their body, not against it.
Had a personal trainer, was doing labs, taking supplements. Added the metabolic foundation and everything changed.
Fitness instructor. Had seen every doctor and functional medicine provider. Bloating gone, weight gone, energy back.
Had tried Faster Way and multiple other dietitians. Lost 3.5 inches off her waist using this method.
Lost 3 inches off her waist, got off HRT, and finally hit her goal weight. This was the missing piece.
Was eating clean and working out consistently. Chronic gut issues cleared completely once the internal environment shifted.
Cycle regulated, gut calmed, bloating gone. Lost 22 lbs in 12 weeks. The body healed first, the weight followed.
This challenge is for you if...
You're the woman who does the work
and wants it to actually work.
- โ You strength train, hit your steps, focus on protein, and still feel like your body isn't cooperating
- โ You've tried Weight Watchers, Noom, or macro counting and they worked temporarily but never stuck
- โ You want something that feels like a lifestyle, not an assignment
- โ You're done gaining 5+ lbs every holiday season and writing it off as inevitable
- โ You're in your 40s or 50s and you know your body has changed, you just need someone to tell you what to do about it
- โ You want a natural approach. Not more pills, not shots, not another elimination protocol.

Hi, I'm Laura Berger,
a registered dietitian nutritionist specializing in functional medicine nutrition.

Integrative & Functional Nutrition ยท Creator of The Perimenopause Dietยฎ
I've spent over 12 years working with women dealing with hormone imbalance, weight gain, and perimenopause who are doing everything they were told to do and still struggling. What I found is that the medical system and the diet industry treat perimenopause symptoms and weight separately, but they're the same problem. Nutrition is the foundation for both.
I created The Perimenopause Dietยฎ because strategy is what's missing for most women, not effort. Women are being told medication is the only way to lose weight and feel better, when really your metabolic foundation needs to be adjusted in perimenopause. The right strategy allows you to lose weight without feeling hungry, without the cravings, and without relying on willpower or staying stuck.
This challenge is five days of that strategy, with no cost and no catch.
