Perimenopause stole my spark before I knew what was happening.

I was flat. 😐
Foggy. 🫨
Disconnected from my own body. 🫥

I didn’t recognize the woman in the mirror. And what I didn’t realize back then? It took my libido with it.

Because spark and libido aren’t separate things. They live in the same place.

Libido isn’t just about s*x. It’s how you feel in your skin.
The way you move through the world.
Whether you feel connected to your own body or like you’re watching it from the outside.

When a woman tells me her libido is gone, what she usually means is, “I don’t feel like myself anymore.”

And there are 3️⃣ reasons that happens.

1️⃣Testosterone. It runs your drive, your confidence, your motivation. By 45, most women have half what they did at 25. And your doctor probably didn’t test it. Or they tested total T and not free T, which is the only number that actually matters.

2️⃣Tissue. When estrogen drops, the v***a and va**na thin out and lose blood flow. Sometimes you don’t even notice, you just stop wanting it. Your body avoids what hurts. Vaginal estrogen is one of the safest, most underused tools we have.

3️⃣Nervous system. If you’re running on cortisol, broken sleep, and a mile-long mental load, your body shuts desire off on purpose. Survival before reproduction. Every time. You can have perfect hormones on paper and still feel like a stranger in your body. This is why I start with the nervous system before we touch hormones.

You don’t have a libido problem. You have a body going through layers.

DM me DESIRE and I’ll send you the full framework, plus how we work through each one in my program.

I lost a year of my life to perimenopause.

Even as a trainer on a national TV show, even with all the knowledge I “should” have had, peri still took me out.

😠 The rage.
😑 The flatness.
😴 The exhaustion that no amount of sleep could fix.
😔 The looking in the mirror and not recognizing the woman staring back.

Sound familiar?

👯‍♀️ Here’s what I know now after helping 4,500+ women get their spark back.

Losing yourself in your 40s isn’t just “how it goes.”

It’s not in your head. It’s not “just stress.” It’s not something you have to push through for the next 10 years until menopause hits.

It’s 5️⃣very specific things shifting inside your body, and every single one of them can be tested and fixed.

Save this carousel. Send it to the friend who has been “off” lately.

And if you are tired of being told everything looks “normal” while you feel anything but…

Comment ZEST below and I will send you the exact protocol stack we use with our clients to get their spark once I chat with you!

Your 40s are not supposed to feel like this! 👏🏽

At almost 40, I have no thyroid and I’m in perimenopause. And I’ve never felt more like myself.
That’s not a flex. That’s the result of 3 years of doing the uns*xy work in the right order.
Most women come to me after years of being told their labs are “normal” while they feel like a stranger in their own body. Exhausted. Inflamed. Anxious. Watching the scale climb while they eat less and work out more.
I’ve been there. And I know the way out isn’t another supplement, another diet, prescription (hey, sometimes needed!) thrown at the problem.
It’s the foundation. In the right order.
Sleep before supplements. Labs before guessing. Thyroid optimization. Strength before cardio. Digestion before more protein. Foundation before HRT. Permission before performance.
HRT is a tool. Not the whole tool belt. And no hormone, supplement, or workout will outwork a broken foundation.
Year one was the foundation. Year two was the build. Year three is the woman I am now.
If you’re ready to stop guessing and start building, DM me ME and I’ll send you my full personal protocol breakdown.

has my heart and anything chimichurri also has my heart. I’m a sucker for it!
As someone who is always looking out for high protein and clean ingredients, the new season chimichurri, steak and egg hash was a no brainer to try! Make sure you stop in soon before it’s gone!

Shoutout to my Centerville, Ohio location!! They know me by name at this point and are truly the best!!

Do you have first watch where you live?

Three women this week. Different ages. Different complaints. Same root cause underneath all of them.
One was told to try CBT. One was put on an SSRI. One was told “this is just menopause, get used to it.”
So they came to us.
And here is what their labs actually showed. Yes, their hormones were at the floor. But underneath that we found cortisol patterns keeping their bodies stuck in stress, gut markers no one had ever screened for, and nutrient deficiencies blocking hormone production at the source.
This is what every telehealth HRT clinic is missing right now.
Hormones are part of the answer. They are not the whole answer.
Six to twelve weeks in, meaningful change in all three. Not from the prescription. From the layers underneath it.
If you have been told “you just need HRT” and something in you knows it is not that simple, comment LABS below. I will DM you the full panel I run, and we will figure out which version of this is yours. 🤍

Ok so are “phases” actually the official clinical term?
No.
Medicine throws perimenopause into one big bucket with some sub-categories that are useful in research papers and basically useless when you’re the woman lying awake at 3am wondering what the hell is happening to your body.
But after working with over 4,500 women around the world, we’ve seen the patterns. Same diagnosis word, completely different physiology depending on where you are in the arc.
A 38 year old in early progesterone decline is NOT the same as a 47 year old whose estrogen is on a rollercoaster, who is NOT the same as a 51 year old in late decline.
They all get told “perimenopause.” They all need very different things.
This is why so many of you have tried “everything” and felt like nothing fit. The intervention wasn’t wrong. The phase was.
Comment PHASE below or DM me PHASE and I’ll send you our four-phase self-assessment so you can figure out where you actually are, plus what we’d prioritize for your phase specifically.
Save this for the friend who’s being told she’s “too young for perimenopause” while she’s clearly drowning.
