This will probably be my most-viewed post in a while. Here’s why.
When we stop pretending to be perfect and share real life — people feel connected.
Today is National Rare Disease Day, and I have Klippel-Trenaunay Syndrome (KTS). It affects my left side from my neck down.
Here’s what that’s looked like:
🩺 9 surgeries
👶🏼 5 kids via c-section — after being told I might not be able to have children
🦵🏼 Told my leg could be amputated by 18 — still have it 😊
🚫 Told to stop all physical activity
So naturally… I became a personal trainer. 😉
It took me a long time to realize I don’t have to hide. None of us do.
We all have struggles, pain, and imperfections. That’s not a reason to hide — it’s a reason to show up and make the most of every day we have.
God has blessed me, and I want to use the gifts He’s given me to help others do the same.
💛 If this resonates, save it or share it with someone who needs to hear it today.

What Low Protein Looks Like Bioenergeticly
This is your differentiator. When protein is chronically low, bioenergetic testing often reveals:
- **Adrenal stress** — Your body perceives low fuel as a threat, keeping stress hormones elevated
- **Gut lining imbalances** — Protein provides amino acids for gut repair; without it, the lining struggles
- **Mineral borrowing** — Your body pulls from muscles and bones to get amino acids, depleting calcium, magnesium, zinc
- **Blood sugar instability** — Protein stabilizes blood sugar; without it, you’re on the spike-crash rollercoaster
- **Sluggish detox** — Your liver needs amino acids (glycine, glutamine, cysteine) to detox properly
You’re not lazy.
You’re not unmotivated.
You might just be underfed.
Most women I work with are eating 40–60g of protein a day.
Their body needs 100+.
Here’s the math:
0.7–1g of protein per pound of your goal bodyweight.
150 lbs? That’s 105–150g daily.
When I run bioenergetic scans on women eating low protein, I often see:
🔹 Adrenal stress
🔹 Mineral depletion
🔹 Gut lining imbalances
🔹 Blood sugar dysregulation
Your body isn’t broken — it’s borrowing from itself to survive.
Protein is your metabolic insurance policy. 💛

I used to think smoothies were just a “healthy option.”
Now I know they can either spike your blood sugar…
or support your strength.
After 35, we naturally lose muscle every year if we’re not intentional.
Less muscle doesn’t just affect how we look.
It affects:
• Our metabolism
• Our energy
• Our hormones
• Our ability to age strong
That’s why I don’t throw random fruit in a blender anymore.
I build smoothies that support muscle, metabolism, and longevity.
Some of the ones we’re making Monday:
☕ Muscle Longevity Mocha
🌿 Matcha Metabolic Glow
🤍 Hormone Balance Cream
Because aging well isn’t about eating less.
It’s about fueling smarter.
As someone who has walked through my own health challenges, strength matters to me. Energy matters. Long-term health matters.
If you’ve been trying to “eat healthy” but still feel tired…
It might just be time to change the strategy.

I kept watching women burn out.
Hour-long workouts. Meal plans that didn’t fit their lives.
So I stopped following the rules.
I built 20-minute workouts backed by research.
I created nutrition coaching that meets you where you are (with bioenergetic testing to get to root causes).
Because your body is different. Your stress is different. Your schedule is different.
Why would your wellness plan look like everyone else’s?

35+ and told your hormones are “just changing”?
They’re not broken — they’re responding.
To stress. To sleep. To protein. To movement.
Muscle is your metabolic insurance policy.

You’re not broken.
You’re not “just getting older.”
Your body is communicating — you just need someone to translate.
That’s what bioenergetic testing does. It’s not magic. It’s data + interpretation + coaching.
Save this if your body’s been trying to tell you something. 💛

You don’t need a new body.
You need strength.
You need muscle.
You need consistency.
After 30, we naturally begin losing muscle.
Balance changes.
Metabolism shifts.
But extreme workouts and starting over every Monday aren’t the answer.
That’s why I created the Healthy Aging Program inside the AVWellness App.
✔ 20-minute workouts
✔ Strength, mobility, balance & power
✔ Built for busy women
✔ Sustainable, not extreme
We start Monday.
If you’ve been saying “I need to get back on track”… this is it.

You’re not shrinking. You’re building.
Healthy aging isn’t about getting smaller, weaker, or slower.
It’s about creating a foundation that lasts.
Here’s what that looks like:
✔️ Lift weights
✔️ Eat protein
✔️ Balance hormones
✔️ Support your nervous system
✔️ Protect bone density
My Healthy Aging Challenge starts soon inside the AVWellness App — 20-minute workouts designed for women who want to age strong, not just age.
