You've been eating less, moving more, and doing everything right.


Your body didn't get the memo.

There's a reason nothing is working, and it has everything to do with protein.

A hysterectomy, a cancer scare, and surgical menopause came overnight.

I'm Lynne Zimmerman, chef, culinary nutritionist, and the woman who spent years in corporate boardrooms reaching into her desk drawer at 3pm wondering why she still felt terrible after eating.

Then came a hysterectomy, a cancer scare, and surgical menopause overnight, and a bone density scan that revealed osteopenia.

I cut calories to lose the weight my body had gained, passed out from the restriction, and separated my shoulder in the fall. What followed was three years of figuring out what my body actually needed, and building myself back stronger than I was before any of it started.

 

The answer, through all of it, was protein...

Now I teach it with food good enough that you actually look forward to eating it.

FREE GUIDE

Crashing at 3pm? Not anymore. 


The 3pm energy crash is one of the most common things midlife professional women describe to me, and one of the most fixable. I wrote a free guide that explains exactly what's happening in your body at 3pm and what to eat instead.

KIND WORDS 

Kind words from the dining room table.

 

 

"I haven't felt this good since before menopause."

The fog is gone. My energy is back, and I’m more productive in my business than I’ve been in years.

Yvonne Kearns, 58. Running and doing yoga again
 
"Rare for Googlers to rate anything Excellent."

Everyone rated the event Excellent or Very Good, and loved being able to whip up a delicious meal in 40 minutes while asking questions along the way.

"We didn't have to buy or do a thing."

Lynne brought the fine-dining experience to us - food, wine, service, cleanup - and we even got to keep the leftovers.

DI RUSSELL, SUCCESS COACH
 
"I wouldn't consider running an event without her."

Lynne made the entire retreat seamless and enjoyable for both hosts and attendees, handling every hiccup so smoothly no one even noticed.
