I was sick and I didn’t even know it.
I was a mess. My hormones are out of whack, my energy levels were at an all-time low, and my mindset was toxic. I couldn’t get enough sleep. Day in and day out, I would think about how miserable I was. This, combined with the loss of a close friend and two of my teens struggling with other issues, led to a lot of stress. I was also going through perimenopause, which caused many hormonal imbalances in my body.
I tried to fix myself. I’d exercise, but if I overdid it, it would mess with my adrenals. I tried the Whole Raw diet, but that wrecked my gut. It got to the point where I finally threw in the towel and visited my Gynecologist. She gave me two options:
Either go on the pill, or start taking antidepressants.
I left the building furious and in tears. I couldn’t do that. This led me to a time of heavy study and discussion about hormones, food, and health. I would share what I learned with my friends, Pearl and Serene. They helped me so much with how I ate. And as they figured and built the Trim Healthy eating plan I was finally able to see weight loss and better health. Eventually, I found a practitioner who showed me how to balance and optimize my hormones so I had fewer symptoms while going through menopause.
It took a lot of trial and error for me to get through perimenopause and menopause. But now that I’ve lived through that, I, as a personal trainer, Trim Healthy coach & menopause specialist, get to help other women, like you in that season of life come out of it as their best selves.
As you get closer to the age of 40 and beyond, you find that you don’t have as much resilience to everyday life as you used to.
Your body used to run on estrogen, but as you step into menopause, your estrogen levels decrease.
So now is the time to focus on caring for yourself and making sure you show up as your best self.
