PASSION & PLUG

🎙️ Midlife Mayhem Podcast: Why I’m Still So Passionate About the 21-Day Signature Program

🚨 Registration is closing soon! We kick off Sunday, May 11, and this is the ONLY time I coach this live in 2025. Don’t miss it! → www.21DaySignature.com

🔥 Episode Overview:

I’ve stayed passionate about this work for over 30 years—not because it’s always new, but because it’s always true. When what you do genuinely changes lives, that passion doesn’t fade—it deepens. I’m not chasing shiny trends or reinventing myself every year. I’m committed to mastery. The science evolves, people evolve, and so do I—but the core of what I teach still solves real problems. That’s what keeps me fired up. The aha moments, the clarity, the impact—that never gets old. That’s why I still show up, fully invested, every single time.

In this episode, I dive into why the 21-Day Signature Program still lights me up—even after coaching it so many times—and why it continues to be the cornerstone of everything I teach. This isn’t just a weight loss program. It’s the foundation. It’s where people finally understand their bodies, lose the confusion, and start building something that lasts.

🧠 The Program That Starts It All

This program isn’t just about weight loss—it’s about understanding how your body actually works. Most people come into it feeling confused, overwhelmed, or stuck. They’ve been on every diet, tried every shortcut, and still feel like they’re spinning their wheels. And that makes sense—because they’ve been collecting a thousand puzzle pieces from social media, Google, and random experts, but no one ever shows them how to build the actual picture.

In this program, I show you exactly how those pieces fit together. We start with what I call the corner pieces—the foundational stuff that’s usually ignored because it’s not sexy. Things like:

• Stress and cortisol

• Sleep quality

• Blood sugar regulation

• Food quality and digestion

No one’s making flashy reels about those topics, but without them, nothing else works. Once those are in place, we build the straight edges—core principles about how weight loss actually works, how macronutrients behave, how fat is stored and burned, what cravings really mean, and why your liver, mitochondria, and hormones matter more than your calorie tracker.

From there, we layer in the more detailed puzzle pieces: things like fasting (and when it’s a terrible idea), exercise timing, blood glucose monitoring, cravings, inflammation, meal structure, and body fat patterning. By the end, you’re not just “trying harder”—you’re thinking clearer. You understand what your body needs and why. That’s powerful.

💡 The Lightbulb Moment Everyone Talks About

There’s usually a moment—often in the second live Zoom call—when everything clicks. I do a specific segment where I tie several concepts together, and it’s like I can feel the inhale from people on the call, even through the screen. You can literally hear the “ohhh” moment, like someone just opened a door.

They realize:
🔹 Their body isn’t broken.
🔹 The weight isn’t stuck.
🔹 They’ve just been looking at the wrong part of the puzzle.

That clarity is what makes this program so special—and so effective. People walk away not just with a plan, but with real understanding. And when you understand your body, you stop fearing it. That’s where lasting results come from.

🧩 Why Most People Are Stuck (And Don’t Know It)

Here’s what most people are doing:
They’re collecting a bunch of disconnected facts. They heard fasting is great, someone else said to avoid carbs, a TikTok told them lemon water burns fat, and their friend’s wearable says their sleep is trash. They’ve got all the pieces... but they’re upside down, scattered, and they have no idea what picture they’re trying to build.

That’s where coaching and structure come in. I don’t just give you more pieces—I show you how to build the puzzle. That’s why people see results, not just for 21 days, but for years afterward.

⛔ Why You Shouldn’t Skip the Foundation

Yes, I have more advanced programs—Muscle Month, Type 28, Mastering Midlife—and they’re incredible. But none of them go back to fully explain the core material. There just isn’t time. So when someone jumps in at that level without doing the 21-Day Program first, they miss so much.

This program is where I break it all down:
✅ Protein, carbs, and fat—how they work in your body
✅ How food becomes fat (and how to stop it)
✅ What cravings really are—and how to fix them
✅ Fasting, meal structure, fat patterning, and blood glucose
✅ Why loose skin happens, how to support the liver, and what your mitochondria need
✅ How to build meals for your goals—and adjust them as your body changes

I can’t reteach all of that in my other programs. That’s why I’m constantly nudging people back to this one.

📅 The Logistics (aka Everything You Get)

🗓️ Program Dates: May 11–31, 2025
📞 7 Live Coaching Calls: Sundays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays
📹 50+ Pieces of On-Demand Content: Available on the platform for 6 months

👥 Hybrid Format: Structured learning + personalized coaching
💰 Huge Value: A tenth of what I charge for 1:1 coaching

You can be as involved or as behind-the-scenes as you like. My groups are large enough to have momentum, but small enough to feel personal. And I reach out to everyone personally—because I genuinely care who’s in the group.

👀 Who This Is Perfect For:

• You’re stuck, plateaued, or just frustrated

• You’ve lost weight, but you’re scared of gaining it back

• You want clarity—not another trend

• You’ve got teens or young adults you wish had this knowledge

• You want real, long-term change (not hype)

🎯 Final Word:

This is not a “diet.” This is not a challenge. This is not a quick fix.

This is a strategic, science-backed program that explains your body, helps you make changes that stick, and builds a foundation for every result you want—now and in the future.

Even if weight loss isn’t your main goal, understanding your metabolism, muscle, stress response, and blood sugar is some of the most valuable knowledge you can have.

You won’t see this program again in a live format until 2026. This is your shot.
