About SHIFT by Stacy G
Too many women feel completely lost at this stage in life—blindsided by what their body is doing and the lack of real answers. They’re told the weight gain, exhaustion, brain fog, and mood swings are just “normal.” That their bloodwork looks fine. Or worse, they’re handed a handful of prescriptions to silence the symptoms.
I’m Stacy Gaucy — Functional Health Coach, certified personal trainer, dietitian, hormone educator, and the creator of SHIFT.
For over 25 years, I’ve coached thousands of women toward stronger bodies, better health, and true confidence. But it wasn’t until I turned 48 that I fully understood the battle women face when they hit perimenopause and menopause.
Despite decades of experience and doing everything “right,” I was suddenly gaining weight, losing energy, not sleeping, and waking up in a body I didn’t recognize. I was floored. How could someone like me—so dedicated to health and fitness—feel so lost in her own body?
That moment changed everything.
I decided to stop guessing and start digging. I researched, tested, and connected the dots. I discovered one very valuable lesson…. WHEN YOU HIT PERIMENOPAUSE, NOTHING THAT USED TO WORK FOR YOU DOES ANYMORE. —So I built a system that does.
SHIFT is the system I wish I had. But more importantly, it’s the system that’s already helped thousands more women struggling with the crazy effects of hormone decline get to the root of their specific struggles, reclaim their bodies, and completely transform their lives.
If you are that woman who is done suffering, feeling lost and confused on what works and what doesn’t work, and is ready to step into the second half of life feeling strong, clear, and fully in control, this program is for you. It will change your life forever.
FAQs
What is SHIFT, and how is it different from other programs?
SHIFT is a science-based system created specifically for women 45+ to lose weight, rebalance hormones, and feel like themselves again. Unlike cookie-cutter diets or fitness challenges, SHIFT addresses the root causes of weight gain and symptoms at this stage—like inflammation from foods we eat, slowed digestion, metabolic decline from lack of movement, and the impact of stress—using a proven, functional health approach.
I'm over 45 and nothing seems to work anymore—will this really help?
Yes. SHIFT was created because what used to work no longer does. It’s designed for your current stage of life and addresses the real, biological changes happening in your body with age... the hormonal shifts that impact every system in your body.
Do I need to take supplements for this to work?
Food is foundational—but after 45, it’s often not enough. SHIFT provides a clear, science-backed supplement plan to support sleep, metabolism, energy, and hormone balance without wasting money on unnecessary products.
Can I do SHIFT if I take a GLP-1?
Heck yes!!! In fact, this is exactly the program you need if you are on a weight loss medication to preserve and build your muscles, bones, and ligaments. SHIFT will level up your GLP-1 results, help break through plateaus, and set you up to evetually ween off the drug without gaining the weight back.
How quickly will I see results?
Every body is different, but many women start noticing improvements in energy, sleep, and digestion within the first two weeks. Fat loss and body changes typically follow as the system helps rebalance your hormones and boost metabolism.
Can I do SHIFT if I choose to not do HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy)?
Absolutely. SHIFT works whether you’re on HRT, considering it, or going the natural route. You’ll learn how to support your hormones holistically and advocate for yourself, no matter your path.
What kind of support will I get with the program?
The Self-Paced version is designed for motivated, independent learners. The Coach-Guided version includes weekly check-ins, private chat support, and direct 1:1 help with motivation, mindset, plateaus, and progress tracking.
I'm super busy—will I be able to keep up?
Yes. SHIFT was built for real women with full lives. It focuses on practical, time-efficient habits you can realistically maintain. No extremes, no endless rules—just what actually works for your body and schedule.
