Live workshop · Thursday, November 19 · 7pm Central · One week before Thanksgiving
Walk Into January In Your Jeans, Not Your Stretchy Pants.
The holidays come at you three ways after 45. The weight and the bloat. The family stress. The nights you can’t sleep. In 90 minutes we build your fix for all three, and you leave with a one-page cheat sheet, printed, your name on it.
$97. The full Holiday Big 3. Live on the 19th, plus the replay, the full guide, and your plan open until January 1.
Thanksgiving is one week after we meet. Your plan is on the fridge before the first pie.

This page closes Thursday, November 19 at 7pm Central. Thanksgiving is one week later.
What’s not in it
- No diet. You eat the pie. The order changes, the pie stays.
- No supplements, no weigh-ins, no before-and-after photos.
It’s the Friday after Thanksgiving. 8:40 in the morning. You’re standing at the counter in your socks, eating pie with your fingers, and yesterday’s jeans are still on the chair because you are not putting those back on today.
You slept maybe five hours. You were wide awake at 2, replaying what got said at the table.
That’s the holidays after 45. Not one big dinner. Three things, stacked, for six weeks.
And then you start over in January. Again.
The Holiday Big 3
You already know all three of them.
1
Weight gain & bloating
The “I’ll start Monday” spiral. Pie for breakfast, the cookie tray at work by nine, and a waistband that’s arguing with you by 3pm. You eat cleaner than you ever have and the belly keeps getting bigger.
Your bloat fix: protein before anything sweet in the morning, then one rule for every plate. Vegetables and protein first, the carbs and the dessert you actually want after, and ten minutes on your feet after the biggest meal. In a controlled study, that order alone cut the after-meal blood sugar rise by about a third. Same pie. Different body.
2
Family stress
The comments, the chaos, the obligations. The remark about your plate. The relative who brings up politics. The stress hormone that comes with all of it is the one tied to belly fat and to that 2am wake-up.
Your stress fix: your SOS card. Sixty seconds, written for your exact trigger, that you can do in a bathroom, a car or a hallway. Plus one small rule for the morning: daylight before your phone, so the day doesn’t start in your inbox.
3
Sleepless nights
The 2am wake-up and the racing brain. One short night makes the next day hungrier and shorter-fused, and that feeds the other two.
Your sleep fix: your last glass timed for you (placement, not abstinence), the day onto paper before bed, and the one that surprises everybody: cool the bed, not the room. The Plan Builder works out your last-glass time so you never do the math at a party.
Here’s why they come as a set. A bad night makes you hungrier. Hungry and stressed, you graze. Grazing wrecks the next night. I call it the Slide, and it’s why fixing one of the three never holds.
The part nobody tells you
The holiday pound never comes back off.
Researchers in the New England Journal of Medicine weighed 195 adults before the holidays, after them, and again the following fall. The average holiday gain was under a pound, which sounds like nothing.
Except it never came back off. Not by spring. Not by the next fall. One holiday at a time, that’s the “I don’t know how this happened” in your closet.
So this year, you don’t put it on.
The old way
Be good at Thanksgiving dinner. Skip the stuffing. Grit your teeth through the comments. Lie awake. Then “detox” in January.
The new way
One page. A fix for each of the Big 3, built for your life. Eat the pie. January has nothing to undo.
In their words
If one of these is yours, you’re in the right place.
“I eat cleaner than I ever have and the belly keeps getting bigger.”
“Every time I lose a few pounds, my body retaliates.”
“I just want to fit into my pants again.”
“The belly that won’t budge.”
910 women answered my survey. Every one of these is word for word from it.
Everything you get
Everything in the course, and what it’s worth
Live Thursday, November 19, 7pm Central. Bring your phone or your laptop. You build the cheat sheet while I teach, and it prints at the end.
The Big 3, one at a time. One plain reason under each fix, then you build yours while I’m talking. No lecture, nothing to memorize.
Your bloat fix, your stress fix, your sleep fix, and your SOS card, written for your wake time, your food, your trigger and your bedtime. It prints with your name on it, tracker underneath.
Watch it again the Sunday after Thanksgiving, when the plan is being tested for real. Or build your whole cheat sheet from the replay if Thursday night doesn’t work.
Every fix written out, with the why underneath, so you have it in your hands after the night.
Tap off your days on your phone, with Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, the Solstice, Christmas, Kwanzaa and New Year’s marked. Plus a printable tracker and SOS card for the fridge.
There’s a box for one question on your plan. I group them by topic and answer every one on video the week after Thanksgiving.
By the time we hang up you’ll know what you’re eating Friday morning, what you’re doing when the comment comes, and what time your last glass is. It’s on the fridge. January has nothing to undo.
Who this is for
- You just want to fit into your pants again, and December is the month that decides it.
- The comments at the table go straight to your stomach, then to the cookie tray.
- You’re wide awake at 2am, replaying the day.
- You’re hosting, traveling, or both, and you can already feel it in your shoulders.
- You’re done starting over on January 1.
Who this is not for
If you want a supplement list, there isn’t one. If you want to be told what to cut, nothing gets cut, and you’d be annoyed with me by minute ten. And if you want a fast fix by Friday, this is six weeks of small things done more days than not. I’d rather tell you now.
I’m a research scientist, not your doctor. If you have a diagnosed condition that touches food or sleep, run the plan past your own provider first.
Clarity before you commit
Questions, answered
Is this a diet?
No. You eat the pie, the stuffing and the eggnog. Nothing comes off the plate. What changes is the order you eat it in, what you do when the stress hits, and what the last hour before bed looks like. More days than not.
Will I lose weight?
I don’t promise pounds and I don’t do before-and-afters. What I promise is the thing that almost never happens in December: you walk into January in your jeans, not your stretchy pants, with nothing to undo. Remember, the holiday pound is the one that never comes back off. Not putting it on is the win.
Is there a replay?
Yes. The replay is yours until January 1, along with the full guide and your Plan Builder. If 7pm on the 19th doesn’t work, build your cheat sheet from the replay that weekend.
What’s in the full Holiday Big 3 Guide?
All three fixes written out, with the plain-words why under each one, so you have it in your hands long after the night. It comes with the replay.
Will this work if I’m on hormone therapy?
Yes. The plan is about the order of your day, what you do when stress hits, and your evening. That works on hormone therapy or off it. I never touch your medications. That’s between you and your provider.
I’m hosting. I won’t have time for a plan.
You’re exactly who it’s for. The first hour of the morning is the only part of a hosting day you control, and the SOS card was made for the moment your aunt says the thing. Each fix takes minutes, not hours.
Do I need to download an app?
No. The Plan Builder opens in your phone’s browser from a link I give you on the night. Nothing to install.
What if it’s not for me?
I don’t do refunds on digital products or live events. I’d rather you read this page twice than buy it half-sure. If something’s confusing, email [email protected] and a real person answers.
Your host
Meet the Professor
Hi, I’m Dr. Karrie Ann (Kay) Kubatko. People call me the Menopause Professor.
I gained 38 pounds at 46 and I had not changed a thing. Same food, same walks. My doctor looked at my labs and said everything was normal. So I did the one thing I’d trained for. I have a PhD and 30+ years as a research scientist, and I read the actual studies. Not Google. The nerdy data behind the paywalls.
The 38 pounds came off. Not because I ate less. Because I stopped aiming at the wrong hormone. You were never the problem. The plan was. On the 19th, we fix the plan.
Takes you back up to checkout. $97, and your cheat sheet prints on the 19th.
See you on the 19th. Bring your phone.
Hugs, Dr. Kay
