You're doing everything right...but the problem's getting WORSE.
We're eating less, moving more, cutting out all junk food...but the scale's moving in the OPPOSITE direction.
You're not alone. Menopause isn't being taught to aspiring doctors in medical school.
The result?
Thousands of menopausal women being told to just keep "eating less and moving more"...
which is making the problem worse!
The "Tool Bag" of Our 20s, 30s, and Early 40s Doesn't Work Anymore
That doesn't mean we're broken and it certainly doesn't mean "that's how life just is now".
It means we need a new "tool bag" for weight loss in menopause.
One that works with all the changes that naturally occur in this stage of life.
One that's actually sustainable, without the need for dangerous pills or injections.
We've helped over 3,000 menopausal women not just lose the weight...but heal their metabolism for life!
The best part?
As educators, we're here to teach you the skill, so you don't need us or anyone else on the other side.

We’ve Helped 3000 Women Heal Their Relationships with Food Because This Isn't a Diet
Fact: Most programs rely on restrictive dieting.
Also fact: Human biology literally fights against restriction
And how do those go together? They don’t.
That’s the first problem with almost every weight loss program out there, because they’re designed to fight against your biology. Which btw, keeps you coming back and spending more money on 150 different versions of the same diet.
At MindStrong, we do the opposite: We focus on management, not restriction, and work with your biology and psychology to create change that actually lasts.
You’ll never hear us call a food "allowed" or "not allowed". We learn to eat nutritiously most of the time, while still allowing for ice cream with the kids or grandkids...without the side of shame, blame, and guilt.

Deb lost 35 pounds, lowered her cholesterol over 30 points, and got completely off her blood pressure meds...after a decade of being on them!
Our Program Flows with Your Human Nature
Which is why you’ll never catch us shoving your metrics into some cookie-cutter generic macro calculator or making you guzzle protein shakes and bland chicken. That’s not how this works.
Instead, we start where you are and slowly move you from point A to point B. That is why this program works.
The biology works because that’s how your body is designed. But the psychology is just as important, because we know that wishing, hoping, or praying isn't a long term solution. This program is science working exactly the way it’s supposed to.
We’ve helped over 3,000 women heal their relationships with food and create a life of confidence, freedom, and lasting change. And it starts by working with your body, not against it.
No more guessing, no more diets.
LET'S CHAT ABOUT WHAT'S NEXT FOR YOU
"Ignite helped me fully understand how our bodies function from a nutritional level.
Not only did I learn skills that can be implemented long term, they were also sustainable (ie. carbs are not your enemy!). The workouts were functional and easy to follow and brought the clear understanding of how to reach that goal to build sculpted muscles."
~ Mary A.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"Learning the skill of nutrition, as well as how to train my mind, is WITHOUT a DOUBT a lifestyle...and the BEST decision and investment I have ever made for myself.
I've strugggled with my weight (mentally and physically) my entire life. When I hit rock bottom I went on fad diets, shake systems, and even more dangerous medicinal and restrictive measures. It wasn't until I found my teacher and coach Rachel, that I finally started to have some confidence and control over my life. I am still a work in progress, but feel incredible thus far and can't wait to KEEP ON GOING!"
~ Robin D.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"If you want to grasp the truth and confidence, learning from Rachel is the key.
I not only gained scientific knowledge that makes sense, but gained the confidence to believe these truths as well. Learn how to track what you eat, work out properly, and get rid of all the past lies that made you feel like a failure. It will finally change your relationship with food! Rachel is an excellent motivational teacher."

"I'm 53 and have always worked out and felt pretty healthy. My nutrition, however, is a different story! I took food to the next level during Covid and not in a good way!
I needed a program that allowed me to eat in a way that works for my lifestyle and was easy to manage. I joined to learn about nutrition and how macros work. My experience in Ignite was fantastic. Rachel is real, raw, kind, supportive and strong. She is everything I was looking for to help me understand my eating habits and how to stay in control. Her program is built for a lifestyle not a quick fix and if you do the work you will get results! I am now MindStrong!"
~ Leanne C.

"These before/after pictures do not show my biggest success. My biggest “wins” have been the changes I have made in my attitude and mind.
I no longer beat myself up or say nasty things to myself inside my head. I love my body where it is and live life, even in a bathing suit! I understand my triggers and why I sabotage myself, and have the tools to work through it all. Despite family stress, Covid stress, closing my office/retiring, a diagnosis of breast cancer, and two weeks on vacation with my grandson on a food fest, I am wearing a size 10 instead of a 16, feeling more confident and knowing I will lose the last 20lbs counting macros. I can’t heap enough praise on this program enough."
~ Cindy.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"I'm writing this with tears in my eyes out of gratitude for this past year.
I look at food as a source of pleasure AND fuel because I no longer feel like it is the boss of me - I now know how to fuel my body with a good balance of nutritious and yummy food to keep this going for life. I have been living this way for 11 months now and I am so excited to keep going to this next phase of getting stronger and becoming even hotter (lol!). If you had told me before I had my 2 kids that I could look and FEEL like this after becoming a mom I would have laughed in your face. I love being wrong!"
~ Arielle D.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"I'm 57, so I thought I was just going to be "fluffy" for the rest of my life.
I had tried all the things-paleo, keto, south beach-and was desperate for some nutrition guidance. Now, I am loving the way I'm looking, the new lifestyle I have, and am relieved to have found MindStrong Fitness, Rachel, and the community of support she provides. To have control over my health and fitness is spilling over into other areas of my life: I'm taking better care of myself, and loving myself more. It's not just about the weight loss. It's about being healthy as I move into my older years, keeping up with my 5 grandchildren, and looking smoking hot at my daughter's wedding!"
~ Annette F.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"I can’t tell you enough how awesome it is for me to be as strong as I am at my age, 52 and 5 kiddos!
I can still keep up with all of them and be an active part of their lives! I am humbled with such blessings, and you have helped me with that final piece that brought all my hard word to fruition...nutrition. I hadn’t a clue! Thanks, Rachel...I’m so glad you taught me to ‘fish!’"
~ Wendy B.

"The transformation over the last 12 weeks both outwardly and inwardly has been more than I could've ever hoped for!!
Finding Rachel was like finding a needle in the sh*t pile of trainers out there!!!"
~ Allison K.

"At 66 years old, I want to believe this will work, but, after decades of yo-yo-ing...I just don’t.
Over 35 pounds down while I eat the foods I LOVE. This works for everyone."

This is an Education for LIFE
If you know how to ride a bike, try to fall off that bike.
Once your brain understands, and is wired for, a skill, it's pretty tough to do.
The same is true of nutrition.
When we get away from diet culture and start focusing on nutrition as a skill, we have it for life.
You won't need us, or anyone else, on the other side.
I’M READY TO RE-CLAIM MY LIFE
Meet Rachel,
Founder of MindStrong Fitness
Rachel is a real human who doesn't live off chicken and rice, loves donuts, whiskey, traveling (and eating all of the exotic foods), and cuddling puppies.
Her journey to the fitness industry came when she was a teacher, trying to figure out why she wasn’t seeing results, no matter how much time she spent in the gym. After going on her own health journey, she realized that there’s a multi-billion dollar diet industry that’s designed to keep women confused, frustrated, and in the system.
As an educator who enjoys breaking down what can feel like big overwhelming topics into-pun intended-bite sized steps, she discovered that the solution isn’t to hand out defective macro calculators or diet programs. It’s to teach women how to understand their bodies, heal their metabolism, and create health that lasts, while still enjoying donuts.
