It’s not just about feeling less exhausted during the day

It’s about having the motivation to give your kids the holiday season they deserve. One that they will always look back on.

When energy and motivation become part of your everyday life, this is the kind of life that’s possible once you balance your hormones and address the root cause

I wanted to lose weight after my last baby
But what I really wanted was to not wake up exhausted
To not have to go on another diet leaving me irritated and annoying to be around

So I learned a new way
A way that is actually sustainable and doesn’t give you weight loss at the expense of your hormones

Addressing mineral depletion and blood sugar was always that way but we were sold the quick fix of dieting

And when I did the deeper testing and followed a plan that was personalized to me I lost weight AND got my life back

More energy and patience with my kids

This method changed my entire life and I can never go back to the hunger, irritation, and pure exhaustion of dieting

PMS, cravings, mood swings, and low energy before your period might feel normal—but they don’t have to be!

Your luteal phase (the 10-14 days before your period) is when your body needs extra support. By focusing on the right habits, you can reduce PMS, balance your mood, and feel calm and energized instead of burnt out.

Here’s what I focus on during my luteal phase:

1️⃣ Morning sunlight to regulate cortisol and energy.
2️⃣ Grounding to reduce stress and inflammation.
3️⃣ Minerals (like magnesium) for blood sugar balance and nervous system support.
4️⃣ Balanced meals with protein + carbs to curb cravings and stabilize energy.
5️⃣ Light + movement breaks to support mitochondria and hormone health.
6️⃣ Liver support to process hormones and reduce PMS symptoms.
7️⃣ Blocking blue light at night for deep, restorative sleep.

You don’t have to suffer through PMS and low energy every month. And create a lifestyle that supports this rather than relying on DIM or chasteberry tea that may help support but doesn't actually fix the problem

If you saw the viral cortisol drink, you know how cortisol affects your weight and belly fat.

What they didn't tell you about it is that the drink is meant to replenish your minerals and reduce your stress load.

And when you treat everyone with a blanket product, it may work for some, but many will likely feel left out and frustrated.

I'm here to tell you its them, not you

I have every one of my clients send it a hair tissue mineral analysis so we know the exact stressors and imbalances going on to customize a protocol for YOU

Although there are similarities, We often find opposing issues going on from one person to the next. That completely changes the protocol we recommend.

Cortisol is a primary hormone that when out of balance wrecks havoc on your gut, other hormones, and nervous system

So whether its.....
Hormonal acne
Weight loss resistance
Energy dips
Poor detoxification
Constipation
Mood swings
Painful periods
Etc.

We know exactly what minerals need to be replenished, how to support detox, and how to personalize a protocol that works for you

If you’ve been feeling “off,” running on empty, or just can’t seem to balance your hormones no matter what you try, there’s a powerful tool that may be missing from your journey: Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA).

This at home hair test is a deep dive into your body’s mineral blueprint. It’s not just about numbers; it’s about understanding how key minerals impact your hormones, energy levels, metabolism, and even your mood. Minerals like magnesium, calcium, sodium, and potassium are extremely necessary for hormone health, playing crucial roles in how your body handles stress, produces energy, and regulates sleep.

In my work with moms, I’ve seen mineral imbalances at the root of chronic fatigue, PMS, mood swings, and weight changes time and time again. HTMA gives us insights that help move beyond “quick fixes” to address what your body truly needs for hormone balance, so you can reclaim your natural energy and feel like yourself again.

POV: 90 days from now you have more balanced hormones, steady energy, and less bloating, all because you took the time to address what’s happening underneath the symptoms.

I'm bringing a new light to hormone healing and balancing, so you might want to stay tuned

The diet and exercise model where you must work out hard and burn more calories than you take in has to go

💕 pushing hard at the gym
💕 eating in a deficit
💕 eating clean and ditching the sugar
💕 protein protein protein like it's your job

But you aren't getting anywhere
It's time for a change of focus

Especially if you struggle with hormone imbalances, energy crashes, sugar cravings, and that freaking belly fat that won't disappear no matter how much you run.

Hi, I’m Sara Moreira!

I’m a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner and former registered nurse with 8 years in bedside nursing specializing in women and pediatric health. Like many moms, I struggled with my health for years. My journey started as a teen with chronic gut issues—bloating, constipation, acid reflux, you name it. Working as a nurse, I saw firsthand how conventional care often fell short, especially when it came to chronic issues. Eventually, I faced my own hormonal imbalances that seemed to get worse after pregnancy. Insulin resistance, painful periods, and constant blood sugar dips, despite dieting and trying every “quick fix” out there.

Turning to functional health was life-changing. Through functional lab testing, root-cause healing, and my faith in a holistic approach, I was finally able to reverse my symptoms. Join me on your journey to rebuild your metabolism (possibly after years of dieting), and balance your hormones as you go into your 30s and 40s, moving beyond restrictive diets to true nourishment and wellness.

If you're ready to reclaim your energy and feel like yourself again, you’re in the right place!

Listen, i get it

The internet is full of information to help you with these chronic symptoms that have only gotten worse thanks to no help from your physician.....

But it's conflicting at best

Or another form of conventional medicine/symptom management at worst

The chronic bloating

Painful PMS

Breakouts every month

Sugar cravings

Raging moods

Energy Crashes at 2 p.m.

Belly fat that won't budge

And don't get me started with the influences that literally get paid BIG BUCKS to sell you someone's wellness product 🙄 cue the ....

probiotics

Maca

Raspberry leaf tea

Protein shakes

Colostrum

And collagen powder

And to be honest, while these can be helpful, they also have to be processed by your already overburdened liver 🚫 and they might not even be what you really need

These things are pushed by wellness influences and extreme wellness influences (or men) that don't truly understand womens hormones and how they work.

I work with women to heal the root of their hormone, gut, and metabolism dysfunction so they can ditch the

Midday energy crash

Belly bloat

Hormonal breakouts

And weight that literally feels stuck

I use personalized functional lab testing and circadian signaling to reverse your chronic symptoms before they lead to more serious conditions

If this is you, and you feel like you have tried a few or all of these things, let's talk! DM me READY to get a custom plan for YOU to finally see results!
