I'm Ready to Unlock My Best With Less Stress!Proud to be a Small Holistic Practice with a Big Heart, Badass Results & Industry-Leading Awards:
I didn't learn this in med school! Everything is so easy-to-follow. At an age where I'm supposed to be watching my body break down, I'm getting stronger, more fit & am more energized during long work days. I didn't think it was possible to PR my marathon in my 50s & not need Advil after, but I now know how to train & fuel WITH my female body! I recommend & refer out to Badass Academy for any active female who wants optimal health, longevity, fitness or to run strong for life!
Nancy, Physician
Get ready to log into the Academy & think, "Holy crap, she gets me!" You can expect to feel seen, be fully heard in 1:1 sessions & understand how to work with your female body in a life-changing new way. This program is ahead of science, as Louise has lived through what she teaches. Despite my husband deployed, 4 kids & a full-time job, I feel stronger, energized & fit despite the most stressful phase of my life yet!
Heather, Duke Trained Nurse Practitioner
In my late 30s 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, fat loss & recovery hacks that fit my busy life!
Jen, Former U.S. Olympian
When I joined, I thought it was a long shot, but I was ready to fight to feel like myself again. I didn't want perimenopause to mean I have to lay down & die! In 2 weeks I lost weight, went from 5 hours of terrible sleep to sleeping like a baby & no longer had mood swings. My libido is back, my muscle definition improves weekly & heavy periods eased without an ablation or medication! Everything is so kept practical that, for the first time ever, I'm confident this is sustainable.
Charlotte, Nurse & Mom to 4
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, Busy Mom & CEO
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 & asked to learn the nutrition strategies I was, I realized how much female-specific nutrition & training changes EVERYTHING! Now, we're all getting healthier, more fit & stronger together. The Breaking Through Wellness ripple effect is priceless!
Cathy, Mental Health Counselor
Despite working in the medical field for years & feeling like I knew a lot about my health, eating well, fat loss & strength training, I'm blown away by my experience! I went off HRT in 2 months & threw away most supplements. Acne my Dermatologist couldn't help is gone. I love that I know WHY I can't sleep, how to target specific areas of my body with strength training & have fat loss plans that are simple & modifiable without feeling restricted. I'm SO grateful to no longer be slowing down, feeling aches when I run, juggling diets or perimenopause "solutions." As my understanding of my body deepens & is kept simple to fit my life, I'm proud to have ease in feeling, looking & running my best!
Stacey, Health Educator
Thank you for giving me my wife back. I couldn't stand watching her wake up at 4:30, do endless Peloton, diet, feel miserable with bloating & poor sleep. She's finally seeing results that reflect how hard she works to take care of herself & fueling her body to perform. I've lost weight & improved fitness with your tips, too! Game changers! To say this program paid for itself is an understatement. Even our kids are learning more of the right timing & types of food. It's made such a difference!
