We coach women all over Western Canada.
What is actually slowing down your metabolism?
FOR WOMEN DOING EVERYTHING RIGHT - and STILL GAINING WEIGHT
We are the women behind the Metabolic Blueprint.Â
We are Joely (left) and Kim (right) and we run Iron Lab, a boutique brick and mortar gym and metabolic health coaching practice in Lacombe, Alberta.Â
We help women restore their metabolic health using functional health strategies and lifestyle enhancement.
Sometimes, that includes a strength practice - sometimes we need to use other tools first.Â
We coach all over the province, Western Canada and even into the United States.Â
If calorie restriction was all it took to lose body fat - you'd have it figured out.
THIS IS NOT ANOTHER COOKIE CUTTER DIET.
It's a personalized metabolic process and set of tools based on how your body actually works.
We start with a detailed health assessment where your answers leave clues to where you need the most help.
In a 30 minute call we can -
➡️ Show you what's actually making weight loss impossible
➡️ Prove why dieting harder isn’t the answer
➡️ Tell you what to do instead
No pressure.
No obligation.
Just clarity.
We will:
âś… Review your struggles, symptoms and patterns
âś… Show you how the 4F Process reboots your metabolism
âś… Determine whether the Metabolic Blueprint is the right fit for you
This is a strategic evaluation.
Limited spots available. This is 1:1 personalized coaching program to get to the root of YOUR challenges.
IF YOU'RE HERE...
DOES THIS FEEL FAMILIAR?
Â
You eat well.
You exercise.
You try to stay disciplined.
And yet…
• Your weight is going up no matter how much you exercise
• Belly fat is showing up out of nowhere
• You don't have energy to keep up with your life
• Your hormones are a roller coaster
• Your blood sugar, cholesterol or blood pressure is climbing
• The scale moves a pound or two… then snaps back
You start wondering:
“Is this just the way it is now?
“Is my metabolism broken?”
“Am I doing something wrong?”
"Is this hereditary?"
Here’s the truth most women are never told:
👉 Your metabolism didn’t suddenly stop working.
👉 But what used to work in your 20s and 30s just doesn't work in your 40s and 50s.
The Metabolic Blueprint teaches your body how to flip the switch from food burn to fat burn.
This is Private, 1:1 Functional Metabolic Coaching to Identify What’s Actually Blocking Fat Loss, Energy, and Hormone Stability.
YOUR PROBLEM IS NOT EATING LESS and EXERCISING HARDER. YOU'VE TRIED THAT ALREADY.
The truth is that modern living and dieting advice has our body stuck in fat storage mode.
A metabolically healthy body SHOULD be able to "flip the switch" from burning food for fuel to burning fat for fuel.Â
If your body can't flip that switch, you won't be able to burn body fat.
Our coaching approach is different:
FUNCTIONAL HEALTH APPROACH
We begin by identifying areas that need deeper support through a functional health lens and then start with the 4F process.
FLUSH FIRST
We start by supporting the gut, liver, kidneys and thyroid while we increase nutrients, fibre, antioxidants and get the body detoxifying well.
FLIP THE SWITCH
This strategy is designed to help the body remember how to tap into body fat for fuel. We work on reducing inflammation and up-regulating function.
A PLAN TO GO FORWARD
Our coaches teach the systems and habits that help you to keep your results and build on your success when the program ends.Â
REAL RESULTS,
FROM REAL CLIENTS
⬇️
Most of our clients are women who already eat well and exercise — but feel like their body stopped responding.
Â
Your body isn’t broken.
But it may need a different strategy than the one you’ve been using.
And the sooner you understand what’s happening metabolically, the sooner you can stop fighting your body and start working with it.
If you’re ready for real answers, we’d love to help.
You don't need another one-size-fits-all diet. Â
This program is designed for women who:
âś” Are 40+ and noticing their body changing
âś” Already try to eat well and take care of themselves
✔ Feel frustrated that their efforts aren’t working anymore
âś” Want real answers instead of more guesswork
âś” Are ready to invest in their long-term health
This is not for someone looking for a quick diet.
It’s for women ready to understand and fix the deeper metabolic issues behind stubborn weight and fatigue.
