It was the year I finally stopped fighting my body. After years of doing all the right things on paper, eating well, training, supplementing, educating others, my body forced me to explore other options.
And f #%% it finally feels good now. To be real with you, I wondered if I’d ever be able to honestly say that.
Until you’re in it, it’s hard to know how it feels.
It happens subtly, like a gentle whisper that gets louder over time.
Until all of a sudden it’s screaming at you. Pain in random places (thighs and upper body), brain fog, low energy, weight gain out of nowhere.
But when you know this stuff like the back of your hand and you work in it everyday, helping women debunk the very same things, that’s how you know that others are experiencing it with absolutely no awareness - until all of a sudden it smacks them in the face. That’s how it felt for me anyway.
I want to tell you that there was a quick fix, but truthfully there wasn’t. Just a sequence of targeted actions that I implemented across a period of 12 months. The same way I support hundreds of women each year.
A protocol that supports their health and hormones. That when implemented - not perfectly, but consistently works.
Every week I followed the plan. Sometimes it was 80%, sometimes it was 90% and there were also days where 50% had to cut it.
Slowly my sleep started to improve, energy found its way back and my brain kicked in once again. The weight started shifting and my recovery was 10 x better from training. The inflammation reduced and my cycle was back to light and happy once again.
So this post is nothing more than purely to remind you that this is your sign to stop ignoring the subtle symptoms, and start focusing on the foundations.. basic things like sleep, stress management, good nutrition, bloodwork for baseline stats.
These alone can change your life. My stress was silently impacting my hormones, it can’t tolerate it the way it used to in my 30’s. So we work with it instead of against it. And as a result, I’ve changed the way I work, live and play in 2026.
If you are on this journey too I’m celebrating you. If you want me to share exactly what I did, comment ❤️
