Weight Loss in Perimenopause

I was 41 when I had my fifth baby. After my first four, I’d always been able to lose the baby weight fairly easily. So when I gained 30 pounds with my youngest, I figured it would come off eventually. Almost six years later, I was still trying to lose it. And honestly, the weight was only part of what was wearing me down. I felt tired and sluggish most days, and I couldn’t remember the last time I’d slept through the night.

As I started reading about perimenopause, so much of what I was experiencing finally made sense. But figuring out what to do about it was a whole other story! I read advice telling me to walk more, eat more protein, cut out sugar, and rethink how hard I was working out. I tried different diets, workout routines, and supplements. After years of putting in the effort and feeling stuck, it was hard to get my hopes up about trying anything else.

So when I first heard about Beneve’s Trifecta, I was skeptical. I decided to give it a try anyway. A couple of weeks in, I noticed the scale had started to move. I had more energy during the day, I was sleeping through the night, and the brain fog I’d gotten so used to was lifting.

I was so relieved I cried. I think what got me was realizing how long I’d been getting through each day feeling exhausted. To wake up rested and actually feel excited about the day ahead felt like such a gift. I remember thinking, Oh, there I am. I feel like myself again.

If you’re curious, here’s what I’ve been using and what it’s been like for me.

If you’re looking for a simple place to start with a wellness reset, the Beneve Trifecta brings together three products that each serve a different purpose in your daily routine.

  • Xcelerate Functional Beverage (which taste so good!) is the energy and focus part of the trio. It blends herbs, amino acids, and nootropics, which are ingredients used in formulas designed to support mental focus. The drink is formulated with energy, mood, and focus in mind.

  • Glutathione Antioxidant Blend is a once-daily capsule that pairs glutathione with other antioxidant ingredients. Glutathione is an antioxidant your body naturally makes and uses to help protect cells from everyday oxidative stress.

  • Gut Advantage is the digestive wellness part of the trio. It brings together prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics in one blend. Inulin is a prebiotic fiber that feeds certain bacteria in your gut, while the yogurt cultures provide probiotics. The formula also includes bovine colostrum and butyrate, a compound that gut bacteria naturally produce when they break down certain fibers.

For me, adding the Trifecta to my daily routine has been that simple, and I’m so glad I gave it a try. One of the biggest changes I’ve noticed is how much more energy I have to play with my kids and enjoy the little moments with them. I’m also feeling more like myself again and more comfortable in my clothes, which has been such a good feeling.

If you’re curious about what I take or how I fit it into my day, please reach out! I’d love to share more about my experience and answer your questions.

In Christ,

Heather Johnson
