Life & Health Coach for Women 40+
Elizabeth Sherman
You know what to do. It just doesn’t stick.
You're not undisciplined. You're the one holding everything together for everyone else - and somewhere in there, your own health became the thing that's easiest to postpone.
That's not a character trait. It's a structural. And it's fixable.
You’re not lazy. And there's nothing wrong with you. You’re just exhausted from starting over.
You've done the research. You've tried the plans. And the plans work great... until its Wednesday, when your calendar blows up and your emotional bandwidth is already gone by the time you're making dinner.
So you drift. Sunday night arrives with a fresh wave of resolve. The cycle starts again.
You don't need more information. You need a way of doing health that holds up in the life you're actually living.
You don’t need more tips...
You need something that holds up on your craziest of days.
Most plans fail for the same two reasons.
They're built for your best week, not your real one. And they have no plan for what happens when you slip, so every slip becomes a restart.
What I do instead:
We build a bare minimum plan for your hardest seasons, so you stop negotiating with yourself at 8 p.m. on a Tuesday.
We practice what to do after a slip: specifically, so you stop treating every stumble like the end of the attempt.
We remove the friction in your evenings and your kitchen, so the easier choice and the right choice are the same choice.
How it Works
Most of the gap between knowing and doing comes down to three things. Here's how we close it.
Step 1: Planning for Real Life
We build habits that hold when life is messy: travel, nighttime eating, the weeks where nothing goes to plan. You'll have a bare-minimum standard for your hardest days, so you're not negotiating with yourself at 9pm on a Tuesday when the kitchen is quiet and your willpower is gone.
Step 2: Building Self-Trust
Confidence comes from evidence, not motivation. We build a record of small follow-throughs so when you slip (and you will, because that's real life) you have something concrete to come back to. You stop starting over. You start picking up where you left off.
Step 3: Cleaning Up the Friction
We look at the parts of your day that keep tripping you (your evenings, your kitchen, the decisions you're making on an empty tank) and remove the places where the easier choice and the right choice are different choices.
Within the first two weeks, this is what women notice:
Body + Energy
- You eat before you’re starving, and the 4 p.m. crashes disappear.
- You go to bed earlier without forcing it, and wake up clearer.
- You stop grazing all evening, because you’re satisfied, not deprived.
- You move your body—not to burn off guilt, but to steady your brain.
Behavior + Boundaries
- You say no to things that used to steamroll you.
- You stop Googling “how to stop nighttime eating” - because it’s not happening.
- You make one simple plan earlier in the day... and you actually follow it.
- You catch yourself doing what you said you would.
And instead of shame, you feel… steady.
Choose Your Next Step
Here's where it gets different.
Most programs hand you a plan and send you home. What you get here is a real look at what's actually breaking down in your specific life — and a way forward that was built for it.
Choose the step that fits where you are right now:
Total Health Systems Audit
For women who want to understand exactly what's been breaking down before they invest in anything else.
A 30+ page personalized report built from your actual patterns, a 60-minute review call, a 14-day action plan, and a bonus follow-up call two weeks later. You'll leave knowing what's been getting in the way - without the self-blame.
One Price. One time. No subscription.
Best for women who want insight, not another set of rules.
Total Health Foundations (1:1 Coaching)
For women who are ready to build a consistent way of taking care of themselves, with real support while they do it.
A 12-week private coaching partnership. Weekly sessions, a follow-through framework you keep forever, and a reset plan for when life gets loud. Because a plan that only works on a good week isn't a plan.
Best for women who know what they want to build and are ready for a real partnership to do it.
Beyond Overeating
A 9-week skills-based small group coaching experience designed to help you stop overeating without restriction, deprivation, or going on a diet
Corporate Speaking
With 20+ years of experience and over 250 episodes of the Total Health in Midlife podcast, I’ve helped hundreds of women navigate the intersection of hormonal shifts and high-pressure lives.
Whether it’s a corporate lunch-and-learn or an industry keynote, I speak on the "Health-Wealth Connection" and why half-assing your health is the secret to professional longevity.
