Your Confident & Compassionate Coach
Hi! My name is Dana Cushing. I am a Registered Nurse and a Certified Health, Mindset, Nutrition, and Weight Loss Coach.
My heart is in empowering women 40+ to finally get healthy, recognize themselves in the mirror again, and lose 20- 50+ pounds.
People call me The Confident and Compassionate Coach because I specialize in guiding women over 40 (in peri- or menopause) who are frustrated and confused about what to eat and who struggle with weight, fatigue, sugar cravings, blood sugar imbalances, and all-or-nothing thinking.
Your diet is just what you eat. You do not have to be on a diet to lose weight.
I will show you how to “Diet Different™.”
Together, we achieve a sustainable, balanced health and weight-loss transformation. My approach is a holistic lifestyle experience that uses my 3M Women’s Weight Loss method: meals, movement, and mindset.
Let’s reDefine what weight loss can look like for you and “diet different” so you can finally see the scale move in the right direction!

Program Details & Benefits
-
This comprehensive success manual for our first four weeks together breaks down the “what,” “why,” and “how” of balancing macros for women and weight loss over age 40- 50+.
Even if you’ve NEVER heard of "macros" until now, this guide will get you up to speed quicker than you can say “I’ve got this!”
-
Macros, especially during the menopause transition (age 40- 50+), are a science. If you’re used to under-eating, overeating, eating processed foods, or not knowing what to eat at all...
This guide will help you understand precisely what macro-based eating looks like in action!
Macros are a tool for success, not a lifelong requirement. We will use them for the first five weeks; you can use them longer if you choose!
-
Yes, I said “ideas” and not “recipes!” That’s because although there are 4-5 options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner with all the ingredients listed, the number of ingredients you’ll need will be based on YOUR macros (which you'll learn to calculate in the How-To Guide!). Some example macros are included in the meal options.
This is meant to empower you and help you lose weight along the way.
-
You'll learn EXACTLY how to meal-prep your way to weight loss success! During (peri)menopause, we are busier than ever! We need time, and this video will help you create it!
These videos will walk you through meal-prepping step by step so you can save time, eat healthy, and achieve your weight loss goals without stress. The skills you will learn in this training will last a lifetime.
-
This checklist outlines everything you need to prepare for weight loss success. It covers everything you need for our first four weeks together, from setting aside time to grocery shop and meal prep, so you can stay organized and on track!
-
Let’s face it—you won’t always be motivated to stick to your weight loss plan. You may not be motivated to invest in this reDefine Women’s Weight Loss coaching program because you are too busy. Action creates motivation, not the other way around.
That’s why I’ve included a Goal-Setting Worksheet to help you clarify your “why” and give you the extra fuel you need to stay focused!
-
