Ever feel “off”… even though your labs look fine?

That disconnect is more common than most busy professionals realize.

Brain fog that hits mid afternoon.
Cravings that feel urgent, not casual.
Stubborn belly fat despite real effort.
Shorter patience, lower tolerance, mood swings you cannot explain.
Alcohol, meds, or even strong smells hitting harder than they used to.

For some people, these are not random annoyances.
They are clues.

Labs are a snapshot.
Your body is the full movie.

Before jumping to “it must be hormones,” it is worth asking a better question:
Is my body overloaded right now?

You are not broken.
You may just need clearer signals and a smarter way to read them.

Swipe through.
Notice patterns, not labels.
And if this sounds familiar, you are not alone.

Save this. Share it with someone who has been saying “I feel fine… but not really.”

Happy New Year. 🎉 (No fluff—just truth.)

If you want 2026 to feel + look + perform different, your daily defaults have to look different.

I watched a short clip of Andrew Huberman talking with David Goggins, and one point hit hard: doing the things we don’t want to do—on purpose—builds the part of the brain responsible for follow-through and resilience.

In other words:
discipline isn’t a personality trait… it’s a skill you train.

So here’s your January 1st prompt:

Choose your hard.

Because “hard” is also:
* waking up tired and foggy
* cravings running your schedule
* bloating/reflux/constipation and guessing what your body needs
* stubborn weight and feeling like you’re doing “everything right”

Or you can choose the hard that builds you:
* getting functional labs so you stop guessing and start targeting
* a protein-forward breakfast
* lifting even when motivation is missing
* earlier bedtime
* tracking food/symptoms for 7 days

For high-performing professionals, this matters—because health is the foundation of freedom:

> energy to lead
> clarity to think
> resilience to handle stress
> confidence in your body again

If 2026 is your “no more guessing” year, I can help.

I’m a functional health practitioner and coach, and I work with busy professionals to improve weight, digestion, and steady energy using a personalized, lab-informed approach.

This Kate Winslet video basically describes the mission behind Be Fab Be You.

Be fit and healthy. Age beautifully. Be you.
Not “be perfect.” Not “stay 25 forever.” Not “shrink yourself to be acceptable.”

So many women 40+ I work with have been taught to criticize their bodies for decades. They’ve tried all the diets, all the rules, all the guilt… often because those messages were passed down from family and reinforced everywhere.

Here’s what I believe: when you learn what your body is actually doing (with real data and awareness) and you make small daily choices that support it, something powerful happens.

Your cells want to do their jobs—give you energy, strength, clear thinking, stable mood, solid digestion… and the confidence that comes from feeling good in your own skin.

Try this with me today (yes, say it out loud):
I’m worth it.
And then pick one “worth it” action: a protein-forward meal, a walk, hydration, an earlier bedtime, a boundary.

Your next chapter can be your strongest one.

Recorded this in my car today (because… real life).

I put on an old sweater from 1998 and it hit me:

one “yes” can change everything.

From Brazil → Atlanta.
From corporate → entrepreneurship.
And now I get to help high-achieving professionals optimize weight, digestion, and energy so they can thrive.

If 2026 is your year to stop “pushing through” and start feeling strong + clear again… I’m here.

DM me “FREEDOM” and I’ll send you my “What’s in your way?” checklist.

I absolutely LOVE to schedule a blood donation around Christmas season.

I am a proud O- donor (universal donor) which is type mostly used for trauma and new borns in need 😀

This small gesture fills my heart with joy.

My veins are always pumped and ready to go without stimulation :)

Time: 6:49 min (PR: 4:06) to fill the bag :) - not as hydrated as could have been!!!

Blood Pressure: 112/72
Hemoglobin: 14.4

I hope you and I and our loved ones never need a blood transfusion. The reality is, we never know.

That being said, if it's been a while since you donated or never done, I highly encourage you do so. You will feel amazing!

Bonus: new black Red Cross long sleeve t-shirt. Love i!

Wishing you a healthy and prosperous 2026!!

Several times a year, I think about one of my professors at Emory, during the Executive MBA (WEMBA) program, and how he made me feel seen when I was going through a tough time.

👏 Professor Jeff Rosensweig, my Global Economics professor at Emory Goizueta Business School!

He told me to lift up my chin, keep working hard, and not bother with what others are doing or not doing or saying—keep working hard! He was a very perceptive and caring man.

His kindness and words helped me get over the hump and refocus. I ended up being the only female student graduating with honors in the 2010 WEMBA class.

✅ To this day, I still repeat those words to myself when I'm facing adversity and feel belittled by condescending attitudes... and I’ve shared that same phrase with my coaching clients too.

I doubt he knows the impact he made on me that day. Thank you!

Some people leave a lasting imprint without even realizing it. Who did that for you?

Here’s your brain’s new favorite habit: 5 minutes of MVPA (moderate-to-vigorous physical activity)!

Just FIVE minutes of moderate activity can improve your thinking, memory, and focus… especially if you’ve been sitting all day.

What counts?
Brisk walks, stair climbs, quick bodyweight exercises (i.e., jumping squats, mountain climbers, burpees, high knees)… anything that gets your heart rate up.

What’s your favorite brain booster? Drop it below — and tag someone who’d love this reminder 👇
