Hey Hot Mama! Thanks for stopping by!

“You’re not Crazy! You’re Still Sexy!

It’s just Menopause!”

Menopause isn't just about
hot flashes and night sweats.

I’m Bette Vargas and I hold a vision of peri- and post-menopausal women living healthy and happy lives while also moving through (or about to move through) the individually unique and unpredictable experience of menopause. My only aim is to help women in this stage of life gracefully project themselves as fully orbed, multi-faceted beings whose individual stories of sheroism are still unfolding.

There’s no need to suffer in silence. I’ve created Crazy, Sexy, Menopause as a space for teaching and encouraging menopausal women to enhance their well-being by actively engaging these essential dimensions of feminine life:

  • Physical fitness
  • Healthy nutrition
  • Loving relationships
  • Positive attitude

I see myself in you – in your pain, in your unheralded power, and in your triumphs. I do a full-on happy dance whenever you reclaim and take charge of your own health and well-being. I am on this journey to help you get the results you want.

We create content around menopause that will educate so that peri- and post-menopausal women can live more vibrantly. The mission of Crazy, Sexy, Menopause is to change the paradigm of thinking toward health and wellness particularly where women are concerned.

Our intention is to inform women of ways to improve their physical, spiritual and mental well-being by promoting healthier choices. We provide holistic health services and wellness information to individuals, businesses, and non-profit organizations in the furtherance of their wellness goals.

Crazy, Sexy, Menopause values kindness and compassion for all women having or learning about the unique individual experience of menopause. In support of these values:

  • We speak to each other kindly. Always.
  • We honor each other’s truths. Always.
  • We encourage each other. Always.
  • We hold confidentiality as sacred. Always.
  • We tolerate meanness. NEVER!

Bette Vargas is an entrepreneur who teaches women how to heal from the inside
out. A health educator, holistic health coach and personal trainer, Bette also
holds certifications as a specialist in menopause, senior fitness, weight
management, functional training and behavior change. She is also a candidate
for her certification in yoga teacher training. She incorporates her athletic
accomplishments as a champion racewalker and USA and Global bodybuilding
champion, to guide overwhelmed, overworked and potentially overweight women
on how to live more vibrantly before, during and after menopause through better
applications of her three keys: mindset, meals and movement.

In her 25 years of industry experience, Bette has taught thousands how to
achieve lasting fitness and health. Through her unique Beyond the Belly Fat 
program, Bette coaches pre, peri- and post-menopausal women how to prepare
for menopause, by successfully integrating better lifestyle choices and fully
engaging body, mind and spirit as an inseparable whole for total wellness.

A former USA Track & Field official, Bette has trained clients in some of the most
exclusive fitness facilities from the Empire State to the Golden Gate, presented at
conferences for major corporations and created and produced events focused on
fitness. At 71 years of age, Bette hosts the Crazy, Sexy Menopause YouTube
channel, loves to travel and is in gratitude for the love and support of her
husband, four adult children, including twins, and her four grandchildren. She
believes optimum health, true love and vibrant sex is possible for women at any
age. She says, “Your dreams can come true. It all begins with intention.”
