 "The programs Louise develops exemplify the impact one can have when they move scientific findings into evidence-based practice, working to meet women's unique health & fitness needs." 

-American College of Sports Medicine Practitioner of the Year 2023 Press Release

Hi! I'm Louise - a mom, Army spouse, award-winning exercise physiologist, scientist & women's integrative health practitioner.

Hormonal shifts after 35 impact ALL areas of our physical & mental health. The good news? When we know simple ways to adjust how we fuel, lift & run to build badass hormones & work WITH our changing body, we can mitigate symptoms, feel our best, stay strong, energized, lean & fit - for life!

Welcome to the right place to take efficient action!

I designed my Academy so fellow wellness-minded runners never face preventable setbacks & decline like I did due to dismissal of our symptoms & outdated methods designed for men & non-runners.

With world-leading awards (list below) & proven results rewriting women's health, hormone & fitness outcomes for 1,000s over my 23-year career, here's how I help you unlock your potential with female-specific science, simplicity & sustainable success:

  • Start with 6 months of highly detailed *whole-person* support, 1:1 sessions & customized plans to identify root causes why you feel stuck & work WITH your changing body to ditch symptoms, crush your goals & feel your best - typically within weeks, not months.
  • Know when & why to eat what: Our simple & practical fueling framework is customized to you. Learn the best whole foods, portions & female-specific nutrient timing proven to mitigate symptoms & help your body build optimal hormones, health & vibrant energy!
  • Learn what's changing & what to do about it: Step-by-step modules simplify how to mitigate cortisol overload, optimize sleep, mood, blood sugar, libido, recovery, gut & mental health so you thrive through perimenopause with a low stress, *strategic* lifestyle - not endless pills!
  • Sculpt your ideal fit, lean & feminine physique & unlock strong, injury-resilient running for life: Award-winning female-specific strength training, running, fat loss, lean out & body recomposition methods are customized to your unique changing body, goals & busy life. 
  • Our comprehensive fitness library includes core, pelvic floor, mobility & injury comeback programs to maximize your fitness results & *vibrant* longevity in the active life you love!
  • Stress less with expert-level functional health support: Proactively optimize biomarkers (labs if needed) & confidently prevent health & fitness decline we've been told is "normal."
  • Learn, laugh & level up with *like-minded* women: Gain a small, supportive tribe of badass women serious about our success.
  • Stay focused in our private (non-Facebook) community & group strategy calls. We fill the B.S. gaps in women's health & fitness as we discuss best ways to thrive as our goals, hormones & female-specific science evolve.

Ready to work with your female body to age strong, fit & *vibrantly* well?  Let's do it!  Apply for a free 30-minute consult to confirm we're a good fit. 😊

Your initial 6 months of support is currently $500 off at $2,500 (6 x $417/month or 8 x $317/mo). After, nearly all clients choose to remain part of my practice & renew all-inclusive support for $97/mo.  

Don't wait: I enroll only 1-2 women per month to maintain detailed 1:1 support & exceptional results!

Why Trust Louise As Your Practitioner & Coach?

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!
