Welcome to the right place!
Hi, I'm Louise, named America's leading health & fitness expert '23, I've empowered 100s of women like you to ditch the outdated & general advice that's leaving us frustrated & feeling like shit!
Whether you want to quickly get to the root cause of hormone symptoms that start for most women age 35 & beyond, ditch stuck weight, maximize your physique or run your best, I help you take the most efficient path to sustainable results!
I've been there: When facing early menopause hell, I had to become the practitioner I couldn't find. I got sick of hearing, "Just don't run." & "Nothing you can do." As you know, this is the LAST thing we want to hear as women who value our fitness or running! Thus, over 20 years I became an exercise physiologist, published performance, injury prevention & weight loss scientist, women's integrative health & nutrition expert, run & strength coach to turn my breakdowns into breakthroughs. Now, I proudly lead the way helping other active women quickly to do the same!
Yes, you can ditch symptoms fast, confidently know how to restore &/or protect your hormones (the key to our success as females), prevent fitness declines & maximize your ability to do what you love for life!
When you learn how to accommodate for hormone changes, working WITH your female body & not against it + HOW to apply & bring together strategies specific to YOUR body, it changes the game.

While every woman's journey in our program is different, here's what others have to say:
I didn't learn this in med school! I can't stop thanking Louise enough, as her coaching & academy is impressive & easy-to-follow, sharing exactly how to be energized, injury-free & get stronger at any age! I can't believe it, at an age where I'm supposed to be watching my body break down, I'm instead watching it get stronger?! I highly recommend Badass Breakthrough Academy to any female who wants optimal health, fitness or to run strong for life.
Nancy, Sports Med Physician, ran her first marathon in her 50s!
I was really discouraged, feeling like running was taking everything from me rather than fulfilling me. I have immense gratitude for the practical coaching, videos & handouts that explain everything. I no longer have headaches, struggle with psoriasis or lethargy! I understand why I bloat, why I get headaches & know how to keep inflammation low. I feel stronger every day & I actually look forward to running again! It took only weeks in this program to get rid of chronic pain & issues in my hip vs. years of PT that left me frustrated. Months later, I ran a 5K at a pace I hadn't seen in YEARS! When I joined I wanted to find my strength again & figure out how to handle this changing body. This program helped me do that & so much more. I feel like a whole new woman - thank you, thank you!
Cara, restored her vibrance to race through Rome to celebrate her 40s!
When I joined, I thought it was a long shot, but I was ready to fight to feel like myself again. In 2 weeks I lost weight, went from 5 hours of terrible sleep to sleeping like a baby & no longer had mood swings. My muscle definition improves weekly & heavy periods eased without an ablation or medication! Everything is so practical that, for the first time ever, I'm confident this is sustainable.
Charlotte, busy RN, ditched hormone havoc to maximize fitness over 40!
Thank you for giving me my wife back. I couldn't stand watching her wake up at 4:30, do endless Peloton, eat virtually nothing, suffer during her time of the month & feel miserable. This program paid for itself within the first month! She's FINALLY seeing results that reflect how hard she works to take care of herself. I've lost weight & improved fitness with your tips, too! Game changers!
Anonymous Client Husband of a fiesty Physical Therapist
I was feeling fat & slow, like I was doing all the right things & it shouldn't be this hard! I lost 17 pounds, learned how to listen to my body & lean out without tedious tracking. Louise is a very response coach, creates resources as you need them & has amazing mindset, nutrition & recovery hacks!
Jen, former Olympian, maximizing ability to look & feel her best!
EVERY women needs this program! It looks at the whole picture. At 51, I was fatigued & slowing down. Learning female-specific nutrition, strength & run plans changed everything. I'm running times I haven't seen since my 30s & am getting closer & closer to my BQ! My energy no longer crashes at work, I run up hills with ease, hip & shoulder pain is gone! Louise's coaching is efficient & effective, empowering you with comprehensive knowledge & tools to maximize your active life.

The programs (Louise) Valentine develops exemplify the impact one can have when they move scientific findings into evidence-based practice, meeting women's unique physical activity & wellness needs.
American College of Sports Medicine Practitioner of the Year 2023 Press Release
I went from terrible hot flashes, cravings, considering a hysterectomy & HRT to my strongest yet. I joined this program for myself, but when my husband & kids commented how fit I look, I realized how much it changed EVERYTHING!
Cathy, ditched counterproductive diets & exercise to unlock her best!
Think about what you'd pay for just a nutrition, health or fitness expert...
or JUST working with a personal trainer, running coach or physical therapist...
or JUST working with an integrative health practitioner, health coach or sports med...
or JUST taking a perimenopause, menopause fitness, nutrition or performance course...
When you can get a next-level 6-month holistic journey with 1:1 support specific to YOU for under $2,000!!
Why? Put simply, I've been in your shoes... an independent active woman who freaking loves fitness or running. When you feel it slipping away, so is a part of you. Finding accurate, efficient & practical answers become the HARDEST thing you'll ever have to do, as most expert advice & programs aren't specific to women who are highly committed to a fit & active life. It's specific to pro athletes, men, those who need a group class just to show up to exercise, or people who need a gentle nudge to start caring about their health. That advice gets women like you & I, who have made fitness or running a non-negotiable part of who we are, NOWHERE.
This program is my mission to do something about this... your one stop shop to get this next stage of life right, at an affordable rate for the *everyday* active woman who gives a really big flying f*ck about her health & active life. One who doesn't want a lifetime of medication, to fall in a box of advice for the sedentary masses or men & is dedicated to living her most vibrant, fit & high-performance life in her own unique, bioindividual way.
As you read reviews, notice doctors, dietitians, run coaches, holistic health practitioners & physical therapists have joined us. Isn't it time you too join our simple science-based revolution to unlock your best w/ less stress?
