The Wellness Upgrade': Transform Wellness After 40 with Justine Friedman, Registered Clinical Dietitian
A 6-Week Journey to Understanding Your Midlife Body — and Learning to Work With It, Not Against It
A supportive, science-backed program for women 40+ who want to feel more in control, more at ease in their bodies, and more confident navigating perimenopause or menopause — without dieting, overwhelm, or shame.
If your body has started changing in ways you don’t recognise… you're not alone.
Maybe your weight has shifted — especially around your stomach.
Maybe you’ve been hit with symptoms no one warned you about:
hot flashes, joint pain, night sweats, brain fog, dizziness, itchy skin, reflux, cravings, low energy, anxiety, mood changes…
Maybe you’ve been told “everything is normal” on your blood tests — even though nothing feels normal.
Or maybe you’re simply tired of feeling like you’re fighting your own body.
If any of this feels familiar, take a breath.
Your body is not failing you. It’s speaking to you.
And once you understand what it’s trying to say, everything shifts.

My monthly online subscription program simplifies strength training, making it accessible to anyone, anywhere while maintaining the personal guidance and accountability typically found in one-on-one coaching.
A Personal Note From Justine
I’ve been a clinical dietician for over 25 years — but nothing prepared me for my own midlife transition.
After making Aliyah, I gained 9 kilos in 6 months, developed eczema, joint pain, headaches, and a flood of symptoms that left me feeling unlike myself.
Every tool I had relied on for decades suddenly stopped working.
And like so many of the women I work with, my doctor told me:
“Everything is normal. Maybe you’re just stressed.”
But something was happening — and once I learned the science behind perimenopause and menopause, everything finally made sense.
I created Thriving Through Change because women deserve clarity, compassion, support, and real guidance during this stage of life.
Not dismissal. Not dieting. Not guessing.
You deserve to feel like yourself again — supported, informed, and in control.
