I want to tell you a true story.

I'd been in the fitness and health business as a trainer and coach for over 25 years already when I began to experience hormone imbalance and perimenopausal symptoms in my mid 40's.

 

I was a new mom (my first and only child, a daughter, was born when I was 43 and in the best shape of my life) with a new baby at home, working as a head coach and I was starting to wake up every morning dreading  the day ahead and counting down the minutes until it was bedtime again.

 

I went from an on the go, incredibly energetic, strong, lean woman able to work out intensely and lift heavy weights most days of the week to feeling constantly sore with burning in my ankles and was gaining weight no matter what I did - even with all the workouts and not eating much at all.

Nothing was working. In fact I was gaining more weight in odd places that I never had before and was becoming more irritable by the day.

Many days I just wanted a hole to appear and swallow me up! 

 

I had to make a choice.

I couldn’t keep going through life like that. I had to do something, anything to try and get better. I owed it to my daughter and myself.

 

I started doing research on my symptoms, especially my awful periods, weight gain and lack of muscle tone, and I found out that hormone imbalance led to every single symptom I’d been experiencing.

 

Now that I had a solid answer I felt better, but I  needed to know what to do about it, a natural way.

 

More research showed me the role that food, sleep, stress and even kinds of workouts played on my hormone health! I thought about my diet which was consisting of whatever I could grab quickly and at least 2 double double coffees a day with chips on the couch at night.and lots of ready made dinners because I was too tired to cook.

 

I learned stress was wreaking havoc on my health I was lacking the vital nutrients and vitamins my body (and hormones!) truly needed to thrive!

 

I began to focus on eating the right portions and types of food, nourishing my body with what it needed (which wasn't more double double's!) and doing less when it came to workouts, not more.

 

What a difference this made!

 

In just a few weeks, I felt an incredible difference.

 

No more joint pain, I was sleeping better than I had in years, and I didn’t feel bloated or anything else. Even better, the weight that clung to my midsection and lower back was going away without having to diet or cut calories.

 

I just focused on nourishing my body and giving it what it needed, and the change was amazing! 

A newfound purpose.

 

My experience changed my life in wonderful ways, and now, I’m on a path committed to help others! And so after more than two decades I have come to specialize in hormone-balancing health and fitness. 

And I want to help you enjoy the hormone health I discovered so you can live a life of joy, energy, and vibrancy too.
