It's not a diet. It's a lifestyle 1:1 Coaching with Taylor Matheny

You're doing the workouts. So why isn't your body changing?

Nine times out of ten it isn't your training. It's that you've been under-eating for years, or your hormones shifted and nobody told you, or no plan you've been handed was ever built around the foods you can actually eat. I coach women 35 and up. Most of them are moms, most of them train at home, and most of them are already working harder than they need to.

Twenty years

Coaching women, not one narrow demographic. Postpartum, perimenopause, PCOS, thyroid, autoimmune, post-surgical, shift work.

Private chef

I cooked professionally for families in Malibu and the Hollywood Hills. Food restrictions aren't a problem here, they're just Tuesday.

Pro card

I competed as a pro bodybuilder, and I've taken a client at 45 to her pro card.

Still in touch

Clients from years ago still message me to say they're running it on their own now. That's the whole point.

If any of this is you, you're in the right place.

You can be in a deficit and still not lose weight if your stress is high or your hormones are off. That's just true. It's also why I'm not going to hand you a plan before I know what's going on with you.

You're in the gym consistently, you have been for months, and your body just isn't changing.

There's a list of foods you can't eat, and every plan you've ever been handed ignored all of it.

Something shifted. Hormones, thyroid, perimenopause, a surgery. Nothing works the way it used to and nobody has explained why.

You've read everything. Now you genuinely don't know who to listen to anymore.

You want to be toned, not smaller. There's a difference and most coaches miss it.

You've had kids and your core never really came back, and every ab workout you've tried seems to make the doming worse.

I love how quickly my body has changed. I'm happy to have built more shape.

Fat loss is a phase. It is not a lifestyle.

Most women live permanently in a deficit because they're scared to eat more. That's how you stall a metabolism, wreck your hormones, and end up gaining it back at a lower number than you started at. So we do it in the right order instead. Before anything changes, you track one normal day. Don't fix it, don't clean it up, just log a real Tuesday. That one day is usually the moment it lands, because almost nobody is eating what they think they're eating.

PHASE ONE

Rebuild (Months 1-2)

Your calories go up, on purpose. This is the part that sounds wrong, and it's the reason everything after it works. We rebuild the metabolism before we ask it to do anything.

PHASE TWO

Build (Months 2-4)

This is the part that gets you toned, which is what you actually came for. Glutes, deep core, the shape that cardio was never going to give you. Muscle is what changes your shape, and it's what lets you eat more for the rest of your life. At home, in a hotel, or in a gym, whichever you actually do.

PHASE THREE

Cut (Months 4-6)

This is the fat loss phase, and it's a phase, with a start and an end date. It works now because there's something underneath it, and because your metabolism isn't already flat on the floor.

PHASE FOUR

Maintain (Months 6 onward)

We bring you back to maintenance so you can stay lean without living in a deficit. By now you're calling the adjustments yourself, because I've explained the reasoning behind every single one as we went.

Think of it like college. You're paying for an education that changes what the rest of your life looks like, not another month of being handed a plan you don't understand.

Meet your coach

For years I couldn't relate to my own clients.

Twenty years in. I competed as a pro bodybuilder, I was a private chef in Malibu and the Hollywood Hills through my twenties, and I coached competitors, which is easy in a way, because you tell a competitor to do something and they just do it. Then I got older, got married, had a baby. In my twenties I could do two hours of cardio, slash my calories and I'd get shredded. Now if I do that I gain weight. The harder I pushed, the worse I looked.

I need to go back and apologize to my clients from my twenties. I was the coach going, what do you mean you can't get your workout in? You can coach anybody. But until you've been through it yourself and found a way to navigate it, you can't coach it the same. I don't want to be the fourth program you tried.

The app

What's actually included

Built around your week, your hormones and the foods you can't eat. Not a template with your name typed at the top.

Food built around your actual list

No chicken, no dairy, no beans. Vegan, gluten free, IBS, migraine triggers, a kid who will only eat beige. Tell me the list and I build around it properly. I cooked professionally for families for years, so this part isn't guesswork.

Meals on the table in twenty minutes

Quick, family friendly, and food your kids will eat too. Most of my clients end up with the whole house eating differently without ever announcing it.

Personalized training for wherever you workout

Eighty percent of my clients train at home, so that's what it's built for first. Glute work that actually loads the glutes, postpartum-safe core that fits into things you're already doing like waiting for the coffee, plus a gym and a travel version.

Weekly adjustments, with the reasoning

Perimenopause, PCOS, thyroid, HRT, postpartum, a surgery in the file. I tell you why I'm changing something every time I change it, which is the part that means you can still do this in five years.

Me, on the hard days, the easy ones, and every one in between

Accountability matters most when you're stressed or emotional, because that's where people quit. That's exactly when I show up with your own progress photos from week one. Plan, workouts and check ins all live in the app.

FAQ

Questions I get every week

There's a long list of foods I can't eat. Is that going to be a problem?

No, and it's honestly one of my favorite parts. I've built around vegan, gluten free, no dairy, IBS, food sensitivities, migraine triggers, and clients who simply will not eat a vegetable that isn't from the squash family. I cooked professionally for families for years before I was ever an online coach, so working around a list is a normal day for me rather than a complication.

Who actually coaches me?

I do. I'm the only coach on this program. There's no assistant coach writing your plan and no team rotating through your check ins. My onboarding assistant books your first call and that's the entirety of her involvement. Everything after that is me.

My hormones are a mess. Perimenopause, PCOS, thyroid, postpartum.

That's most of who I work with, and it's the whole reason the order of the phases matters. I coach this from the inside rather than from a textbook, because my own body stopped responding after I had my daughter and I had to figure out how to navigate it myself.

I've had kids and my core never came back. Is that fixable?

Usually, yes, and usually not with the ab workouts you've been doing. Most of what gets posted as core work makes a postpartum core worse, because it loads the wrong thing in the wrong order. Deep core is one of the things I post about most and one of the things I get asked about most, and it's built into the program rather than sold as a separate thing.

I don't want to get smaller, I want to be toned. Is that what this is?

Yes, and I'd argue it's the thing most coaches get wrong. Getting smaller is a deficit. Getting toned is muscle, which is why Build comes before Cut and why we're not starting you in a deficit on day one. If you only ever shrink, you end up a smaller version of the same shape.

How long before I see something?

Most women feel the difference in energy and hunger in the first few weeks, while the scale is still doing very little, and that's by design. Visible change tends to land through the Build phase. If you want a number on a scale to move in week two, I'm honestly the wrong coach for you.

Why is this more than an app?

Because an app can't tell you whether an answer applies to you, your hormones, your schedule and your history. You can get a plan anywhere for free. What you're paying for is twenty years of knowing which plan is wrong for you, and the reasoning behind every adjustment, so that eventually you don't need me.
