How She Did It: Stacey Ditches Supplements, HRT, Depression & Diets For a Sustainable Total Body Transformation

A huge thank you to the brilliant & bold Stacey, a real Breaking Through Wellness client & valuable member of our Community who visited our podcast to share her perimenopause journey: the ups, downs, shocking truths & how even the best of us can feel lost, frustrated & overwhelmed in this stage of life.

Stacey is not new to health, nutrition or fitness - in fact, she educates others on it for a living! However, when it comes to virtually zero recommendations being designed specific to how our female body *actually* works, especially as hormones change, Stacey knew there HAD to be a better way! And since you are here exploring our BTW blog, I know you do too.

The funny thing is, when many ladies reach out for a free consult or email me excited, knowing they are ready to join our Academy, they often are so composed & strong.

By looking at many of us, you'd never know how much we're struggling with symptoms as hormones change. And since perimenopause is still being treated as something that only hits us in our 50s (News flash: It starts in our 30s!!), with hundreds of symptoms being deemed "normal aging" or acceptable, we often feel like this is simply "the way it is."

As you will learn as you watch/listen to this video above, NONE of these symptoms are normal. And there is so much we can do about it!

You may be surprised to hear that Stacey reduced her supplements & ditched HRT after learning how to use whole foods to fuel her best hormones. She also broke through a lifetime of trying all the diets (haven't we all!), fasting & frustration to regain her best energy, improve her running, see physique/body composition changes & apply sustainable science-based strategies tailored to her unique body's needs, goals & life.

Is it always perfect? No. Does it time patience, time & dedication to learning how to align your nutrition, lifestyle habits & fitness with your changing body's needs? Heck yes!

Can fueling with your female body transform even your skin, sleep quality, mental health & happiness? Yes & Stacey is living proof!

As you tune in, I ask you to consider, What would it like look like for you if every time you felt fatigue, got a headache, bloated, had a crappy workout, felt a tight muscle, noticed you were gaining fat or losing muscle... that you were able to self-identify the root cause AND know what to do about it?

That's my goal with all of my clients & podcast listeners - to understand your female body better than ever, taking back your fundamental female right to age strong, fit, powerfully & vibrantly well.

As you will hear, yes, it does take re-learning how to work with your body in our Academy & detailed 1:1 support + being patient & kind to ourselves. BUT, by putting in the work one time in your life to have a reset & finally understand what's changing in your female body + what to do about it - you really can unlock your potential with less stress!

I'm honored that Stacey was so brave to tell her story - one that I firmly know is just the beginning of her total body transformation: mind, body & her vibrantly well athlete spirit.

I hope you enjoy learning & laughing with us!

The Bottom-Line Is: Perimenopause DOES NOT have to be confusing, complicated or suck :)

Please note not all of our clients are ditching HRT. There is a time & place for meds, but it is also very powerful when we realize we don't need them or we can reduce them.
