Kathleen Sherman

Hi. I'm Kat Sherman. I'm sixty years old, and I'm a Warrior Babe. I have a sales remote job that takes me all over, and life is good.

This is my rescue story.

I joined Warrior Babe in March of twenty twenty one for my fifty seventh birthday, and at the time, I was wreaking havoc from menopause.

Something I thought would never touch me. I thought I was way too fit. I thought I was way too healthy. Menopause will never touch me.

My periods were no big deal. They were light. This is, again, my rescue story. So at age forty eight, fifty two, menopause had a different idea, And it came crashing in on me.

And I kept poo pooing the side effects like sleeping sweaty. I thought, I've always slept sweaty since I was a kid. I've always slept sweaty. It's not perimenopause.

And people in my age group, my sister who's two years older, she's like, Kathleen, you're you're in menopause. You're going into menopause. I'm like, no. I'm not.

That's not it.

So forty eight, fifty two, I gained ten pounds. I'm a competitive athlete. I travel internationally for sport. I'm fit. I'm healthy. And things just started changing, and I couldn't get in control of it. The coaching couldn't.

My hormone therapist couldn't. Everything that was happening, I had tracked my macros for ten or twelve years at that point. I mean, fit and healthy. And then that's not supposed to happen to fit and healthy people, and it did. Night sweats, little bit of cranky, a whole lot of side effects that were happening, and then that weight gain. Right?

So pick up to fifty five, steam train. I'm now twenty pounds overweight, and no matter what I'm doing, nothing is working. I'm undereating as an athlete. I am overtraining, and it's still not slowing the side effects of my story.

So pick that up, undereating, overtraining, go into February of twenty twenty one. I had some hormone therapy help work done. I gained ten pounds in that month. It was a nightmare, and I'll spare you that. But I was thrown back into my cycle that I hadn't had in two years.

So it was horrible, and it wreaked havoc on me. So now I'm thirty pounds overweight.

Going into my fifty seventh birthday in March, and there was just no way. I was devastated, and I needed a hail Mary. And then I saw Nikki on battle ropes. Right?

Those are my favorite. And I thought, this is my sign. This is meant to be. I need this help.

So I filled out an application. I got on a call. I joined immediately because of the conversation that I had with the intake person that was going through and advising me into Warrior Babe. It was an amazing conversation.

I just had faith. And I had faith in Nikki, and I I liked everything that I heard. I liked her attitude. Right?

Like, I felt like there was a a similarity with the two of us. She's no BS. That's me. Let's just go.

So out of desperation, I filled out the application. I joined. And I have not looked back, not one day.

I will tell you that going into my fifty seventh year, it was my birthday gift to myself because there was no way I could face another day not fixing it for that point nine years. And it was nine years that I hadn't even slept through the night. From age forty eight to my fifty seventh birthday, into a Warrior Babe. I'm two, two, excuse me, two weeks in. I'm sleeping through the night. This is my story. I'm sleeping through the night.

I should've acknowledged then, and I didn't. I just started sleeping through the night. No sweating. No up at one AM. No up at three AM blocks. Just slept through the night. Week three, I have better energy.

By the end of the month, I'm stronger in the gym. That's when, for me, I reached out to my coach and I just I pleaded with her that I hope I was coachable through all of this, but now I'm ready. Like, I'm all in. Let's go.

And from that point off, it just took off. And I think when I accepted it, it just the it washed over me. Like, it's gonna be okay. It's just good. And then things just started changing for me.

So my second and third year in Warrior Babe, I ate intuitively.

I strength trained intuitively, and I stayed my body comp was perfect. It stayed exactly where I needed to be. Now going into my sixty first year in March, I will be four years in Warrior Babe, and I just got a new coach. So I'm super excited to go into this coaching because for me, past menopause, it's about functional health moving forward.

I'm doing stretching, mobility, and strength training. And I can't wait for this year. I'm all in for a lifer. Let's go Warrior Babe.
