LONG HAUL ENERGY™
Become Energy Wealthy
with Nina Midtgaard, MSc. Executive Performance Physiologist -Helping powerful women leaders become physiologically stronger leaders through menopause and beyond.
As a woman leader entering some of your most influential years…
Your experience, perspective, and discernment have never been sharper.
To bring your ideas into the world at the scale they deserve- you need to be able to trust your energy matches the magnitude of what you are here to do.
Leading from a body in change.
Navigating a high pressure career and a major hormonal transition at the same time can make your body feel ‘off’- maybe even unreliable or unresponsive, and low on energy… as though you are pushing a lot harder for the same output, and yet have a sinking feeling your productivity and stamina are slipping.
Menopause is the crucial window to reset your body for the new parameters it will be operating under for the rest of your life.
Your body is making a scheduled physiological change and returning your hormonal set point to pre-puberty levels. It is a natural physiological phenomenon… and absolutely not the disaster, it is often made out to be.
However, as your hormones decrease, it triggers a chain of events where your energy, stamina, productivity, ability to focus and handle stress all decrease.
This disrupts your performance capacity unless you do something about it. What this means for you is you must recalibrate and balance your body to sustain peak performance.
If you don’t your body’s performance and resilience could be expected to keep declining as your body gets more out of balance. And, the standard playbook — treating each symptom on its own, while pushing your body harder and harder — will not bring your performance back. It will take you down.
For someone operating at your level, there is a more powerful solution:
Long-Haul Energy™.
High Performance is all about energy and stress tolerance capacity.
Physiologically, you have access to a second very powerful energy system.
It is an upgraded version from your current energy engine, and it gives you access to an almost bottomless reserve of energy you can tap into on demand. For most leaders this system is sitting idle as they don’t know it exists. For most women who experience it, this is the most significant performance shift of their adult life.
Our Body’s Energy Engines.
The short-haul engine runs on glucose, caffeine, and willpower. It was built for sprints. The long-haul engine runs on fat — steady, calm, and nearly bottomless.
When I learned how to activate the second engine, everything shifted. Not just for me, but for every leader I worked with. I called it Long Haul Energy™.
Recalibrating your metabolic system and activating the Long Haul Energy™ engine will get you access to an almost bottomless reservoir of personal energy.
Picture: Balancing on a Swiss ball at 50. I love this picture because I feel on top of the world and it represents my philosophy and that everything I do within the body is about balance. Long-Haul Energy™ is born from the search for health and a life we love.
The peak performers lifestyle practice
-built for women in their most powerful years.
Bringing your long-haul energy engine online — by resetting your metabolic system — is the first move.
The second is recalibrating the underlying body systems, so they function optimally on the new engine, at the new set point
It is like a printer that has had its cartridge changed. It cannot keep printing the same way — it has to first be recalibrated to the new cartridge.
Your body is no different. The system underneath needs new instructions. Once it has them, the new energy engine is more powerful than the one you have been running on.

Energy is the currency of the body, and anything you could possibly want to achieve inside or outside your body becomes possible when you are energy wealthy.
Change less. But change what matters.
Most leaders I work with have known for some time that they need to address what is happening in their body. What has stopped them is finding the time and the space to act on it.
