Unlock the Secret: Why Cortisol Holds the Key to Your Hormone Imbalances💥

Can’t shed fat?
Can’t kick the belly bulge?
Can’t break through your weight loss plateau?
Can’t get rid of the inflammation?

Join my FREE Cortisol Class tonight where I do a deep-dive into your sluggish metabolism and hormonal imbalances.

Just comment “cortisol” below 👇 and I’ll send you the link!

We have over 600 women signed up, so you don’t want to miss this!

I’m sharing this picture because of my own journey with hormonal issues.

👉Picture on the left: High Cortisol

I had to take a steroid pack for my back and I got bloated, angry, swollen, inflamed, craved carbs and gained 8 pounds in a week.

I was WIRED.

My sleep was all over the place.

*this is very similar to what happens when you have high cortisol because cortisol is a steroid hormone.

Too much and you will experience these symptoms.

👉Picture in the middle: Low Cortisol

I had digestive issues, major fatigue, brain fog, mild depression, poor concentration and weight gain.

I was so tired in the mornings. Even the coffee wasn’t working.

👉Picture on the right: Balanced Cortisol

My cortisol follows the natural rhythm throughout the course of the day.

High the am and slowly drops as the day goes on.

My weight is great, I have wonderful energy and my brain fog is non-existent.

Ready to learn how to optimize your own cortisol levels and achieve a healthy metabolism?

Back to your metabolism….

TIP #1:  Eat LOTS of fake and low fat foods.

This is a sure way to have stomach issues, bloating, GI problems and weight gain.

TIP #2:  Lift 5 pound weights all the time.

You bet, go ahead and continue to lift the same weight over and over again for years and I can bet your body won’t change a bit.

TIP #3:  Eat like a bird.

You can starve yourself and get instant results.

But, you’ll mess up your metabolism.
Feel hungry all the time and binge.
Get moody and lose muscle mass.

Go ahead with that 1200 calorie diet.

TIP #4:  Stress yourself out.

Whatever you can do to stress yourself out, go do it. 
Over exercise, don’t eat, run around all day in high alert, just stay in chaos mode.

TIP #5:  Sleep 4 hours a night.

Try to get as little sleep as possible.
This way you’ll have more sugar and carb cravings.
Try it, you’ll see.

I promise if you do all of these, you’ll feel like total crap.
And I doubt you want that.

Just do the opposite of what I just wrote. :)

If you’re eager to learn more on nutrition, hormones and energy, join starting Monday!

I remember this photo (dated back in November) like it was yesterday.⁣

I was freezing my ass off standing at the bow of a boat watching the sunset and laughing at something my sister said.⁣

⁣
It was my cousins wedding and we had such an amazing time.⁣
⁣
I ate the cake, breezed through the buffet and enjoyed all the wonderful flavors of food.⁣
⁣
It’s so crazy because as I sit here today, I remember a previous wedding I attended15 years earlier.⁣
⁣
I was dreading it.⁣
⁣
I was petrified of what I was going to eat.⁣
⁣
Quite honestly, I would’ve rather stayed at home and ate my “safe meal.”⁣
⁣
What did I do?⁣
⁣
I brought a sweet potato 🍠 in tin foil and dry ass chicken in a ziploc.⁣
⁣
I had it in my coat pocket!⁣
⁣
Looking back this feels completely asinine but it was my reality.⁣
⁣
It was so all or nothing for me.⁣

⁣
What I’ve come to realize is once I got healthy and took control of my life, including how I ate, I started to FEEL better.⁣

Mind blown 🤯 with this client of 4 weeks.

Let me tell you, she’s putting in the work and it’s showing!

This amazing woman came to us exhausted, malnourished, inflamed and miserable.

She came from the ol’ school camp of exercise a lot (6x a week) and eat little to lose weight kinda way.

It backfired.

Her thyroid slowed.
Her metabolism hated her.
Her s*x hormones were tanked.
Her energy was nonexistent.

Fast forward just 4 weeks and she’s crushing it.

We have her doing the following:

4 days a week of strength training (split upper/lower).

Lots of walks.

Implementing healthy choices and optimizing her metabolism with adequate calories.

Taking supplements and some bio identical hormones to help with body comp, moods and hormones.

It’s amazing what can happen when you put yourself first.

For years she would never put herself first or invest in her health because she was too focused on helping everyone else.

Plus, she didn’t feel worthy of taking care of herself. 😢.

But now she’s reaping the benefits and feels more amazing than ever.

I couldn’t be more proud of this woman.

Our 1:1 clients get the results! ❤️

Oh the land of POO 💩.

POO and hormones go hand and hand and when one is wonky, so is the other.

Here’s the down low on POO 💩.

Go with me here.

Let’s say you’re out in the wilderness hunting for food.

All of a sudden, you look to the left and you see a lion 🦁 in the distance.

He’s making his way towards you!

You know if you don’t find safety asap you’re going to be eaten alive.

So you start running for your life.

Then you decide to stop and take a dump.

You happen to have a small wad of paper 📄 so you dig a hole, squat, make your self comfortable and let it fly.

You smile and wave 👋🏽 at the lion as he’s 10 feet away.

“Hold on Mr. Lion! I’m just finishing my dump over here. Gimme 2 minutes, I’ll be right with you.”

SAID NO ONE EVER.

For the record, if you’re in fight/flight like 99.9% of us your digestive system is going to be wonky af.

Hello distension, bloat, constipation, diarrhea, pellet poops and all the things.

One of the best things you can do for yourself is SLOW DOWN and BREATHE.

Otherwise your gut is going to be totally thrown for a loop.

One thing I have my clients do is hum for 30 seconds before a meal.

This turns on their parasympathetic system and gets them into a rest and digest mode.

I encourage you to try the same!

Remember to ask yourself, “Am I running from a lion?” If you’re unable to go to the bathroom.

Just so you know, running from a lion can look like a lot of things:
-constantly on the go
-overly productive
-over exercise
-under recovery
-under eating
-high stress
-not sitting down for meals

Step-By-Step Guide On How To Eat Around Your Cycle!

Im a big component of eating to feel your best AND actually enjoying how you eat!

Nothing is worse than trying to white knuckle your way through another diet 🥱 and feeling like crap in the process.

I truly believe anyone can change their patterns, belief systems, habits and behaviors around food but it TAKES TIME and lots of patience and grace.

As a former restrictor/binger/purger/the whole 9 yards, I wholeheartedly believe my life changed the moment I chose to eat in a way that felt GOOD for me and my body.

❤️And if you’re reading this I know you want the same, and you can!

One of the best ways you can start tuning into what your body wants and needs is to eat around your cycle🌀.

Once I started implementing some of these very basic foods during certain times of the month I started feeling so much better.

❇️More energy.
❇️Less moodiness.
❇️Less bloat.
❇️Faster recovery from workouts.

And the list goes on….

As women we’re complex creatures!

We have lots of moving parts…..

⚠️Hormones.
⚠️Brain chemicals.
⚠️Our body.
⚠️Our gut health.
⚠️Our me**es.
⚠️Childbearing▶️perimenopause▶️menopause▶️post menopause.

There’s lots going on and we need info backed by science to help bio hack our own metabolic blueprint to THRIVE!

🙌🏼Nutrition plays a huge part in that.

It’s time you use nutrition to support your hormones, avoid burnout, bounce back quicker and have more mental clarity.

Above is a quick guide to some foods you can start implementing ASAP!

And if you’re eager to learn more, don’t worry, I gotchu covered!! is coming next week!!❤️⭐️

Who knew eating could be enjoyable?

A post on your adrenals, burnout and food.

If you’re reading this, my bet is you fall into one or more of these categories:

-you run your own business
-you are into health and fitness (whether it was once your life or still ongoing)
-you are a go-getter & high achieving woman
-you are smart as hell
-you are overweight, gained weight or losing muscle and/or your sanity

For a while now you’ve masked your fatigue, belly bloat, weepy & anxious spells with coffee ☕️, mowing through life with work, chaos, business, to-do’s and self neglect.

You feel like no one is hearing you.

But at your CORE you know something isn’t right.

You can’t pin point it.

But your brain 🧠 function isn’t what it once was, your body feels like it’s failing you and it takes everything you have to feel motivated again.

My guess is you’re most likely dealing with a few things:

-low cortisol (adrenal insufficiency)
-gut imbalances and poor motility
-sub optimal thyroid function
-tanked s*x hormones
-mineral & nutrient deficiencies
-poor blood sugar balance (hi food🍲)

Here’s what I want you to know:

-you can get better ❤️‍🩹 but you have to be patient and compassionate with yourself.

-you have to let go of the need to always be the overachiever, leanest one in your friend group or the “perfect” person.

-you need to make sure you’re adding enough nutrition to support your needs.

-most importantly you must learn to slow down and come off your high of being ON all the time. Hang up your hat for a little bit and chill.

Just so you know, nutrition is one of the best places to start for healing to happen.

Incorporating key 🔑 vitamins and minerals like: salt 🧂, potassium, magnesium, vitamin C and B and other fat soluble vitamins like A, D, E and K.

Foods like:
carrots
bananas
Oysters 🦪
full fat dairy
salmon
avocado
Dark, leafy greens
Beef & beef liver

If you’re ready to learn more about the impact nutrition has on your adrenals, cycle and metabolism make sure to be on the lookout for my opening soon! ❤️

{Masterplan To Beat Belly Bloat In Your 40’s}.

I know how confusing it can feel to be inundated with so much conflicting info out there it’s easy to have analysis paralysis.

After working with hundreds of women, without question there are 5 main pillars you need to consider for healthy metabolism & hormonal function.

✔️NUTRITION:
Find something that works for YOU.

No one can truly tell you how to eat.

Pay attention to your cravings, hunger and energy levels after you eat something.

A great indicator of eating too many carbs for instance would be you want more after eating them.

This is your body’s way of giving you biofeedback so pay attention to cues like these.

✔️EXERCISE:

Just enough.

Not too much, not too little.

If you’re craving sugar, carbs, salt 🧂 and the kitchen sink, this might be a sign you are over doing it.

Don’t stress your system even more with jacked up cortisol levels.

✔️SLEEP:

Sleep impacts everything from your energy to binge eating habits. Get your sleep, your body will love you for it with decreased inflammation and less mood swings.

✔️TESTING:

Stop throwing supplements at something that might not need to be fixed.

Treat the root.
Look at the gut.
Invest in a functional medicine team (like mine!) to help you heal from the inside out.

Trust me, even when your doc says your labs 🧪 are “normal” not ONCE have we had a woman who’s labs came back normal.

✔️STRESS:

Stress is completely individualized so how you react, perceive and handle stress is dependent on you.

Some of us have more resilience than others so don’t compare.

Find ways to decompress.

Which one do you feel you need improvement on? I’d love to hear.

If you could share this post to someone who needs this, I’d greatly appreciate it! ❤️

7 years ago I said🖕🏽it to my doc🥼 who’d constantly say, “your labs are fine.”

No dickwad. They are not.

And I can bet your britches yours aren’t either.

Which is why you’re probably still fighting against excess belly fat, ridiculous nightly food cravings, fatigue that’s unbearable, can’t sleep to save your life, a lovely muffin top and regardless how much you train, you’re still packing on the lbs…..

You get my drift 😉.

But here’s the secret no one or their mother (or doctor for that matter) talks about.

You can’t do what you’ve been taught.

It DOES NOT work.

And if it does, it’s 💯 short lived.

The old and outdated 1200 calorie or less rule is BS.

The “no pain no gain” mantra is total 🐴 s**t.

The “it’s just your age Cindy” smack talk is 💩 too.

This trifecta is TOAST.

And anyone who tries to convince you of such, just give them one of these 🖕🏽for me, k thank you.

YOU have to eat enough food to fuel your metabolism & hormones for lean muscle, fat loss and sleep to even happen.

YOU have to look at conserving your energy and releasing in spirts (ebb and flow) vs depleting your tank with chronic cardio and intense workouts (yes, Ironman athletes I’m talking to you too, and I still love you 😘).

YOU have to work with a functional medicine team where you can get appropriate lab work, supplements and hormone support.

YOU have to invest in you.

Otherwise you’re just on the hamster wheel doing the same s**t and nothing is changing.

Take it from someone who’s been where you are. Learn from my mistakes and heal quicker than it took me.

Love you 😍. Don’t forget, you’re worthy of whatever YOU want and don’t settle for less.

Struggling with belly fat, bloat and weight gain?

Welcome to the land of stress 😡hormones.

Take it from someone who knows.

▶️Left photo: taken today with less stress and more balanced cortisol levels 🙂.

▶️Right photo: taken last year with high stress and imbalanced cortisol levels ☹️.

You have to remember as you age your cortisol (stress hormones) are SUPER important to balance.

Otherwise you have a hormonal hot mess going on and trust me, this isn’t fun.

You’ll experience things like:

❌Moodiness

❌A wired and tired feeling

❌Bloating and water retention

❌Weight gain

❌Less results with more exercise and dieting

❌Fatigue

And here’s where SO many women go wrong….

🙄They’re quick to take a supplement Dr. Oz suggests rather than doing the GOLD standard of stress testing, 6 point saliva testing to really get to the root.

The problem with taking random supplements is you can easily be doing more harm than good.

Let’s say you have low stress resilience (meaning, you were SO stressed for so long now you can’t recover as quickly) the last thing you want to take is a supplement that will lower your stress hormones even more.

Same with high cortisol. You don’t want to take a supplement that will jack up your stress hormones every more, do you?

Of course there are other things you can do for your stress levels like walking, deep breathing, meditation, restorative sleep, etc.

👍🏼But, saliva testing is the best way to go if you’re truly looking for healing rather than throwing a few bandaids on the problem.

‼️For the next 24 hours we’re running a FLASH SALE for cortisol testing‼️

I won’t be offering this price again so if you’re tired of getting nowhere and feel stuck with belly bloat, fatigue, mood swings and more, this is for YOU!

Stop spending money on supplements, stupid detoxes and more exercise classes. I promise less is more.

Comment below with “no bloat” and I’ll DM you the info before the cart closes. ❤️

Your hormones require cholesterol and fat to stay healthy.

Often I see women with low T3, s*x hormones and blood sugar imbalances from the lack of consistent nutrition.

Ladies, we need fat to function!

Here are a few of my favorite foods for hormone and thyroid balance.

Without proper foods, your body struggles HARD with hormone production.

Not to mention, you’ll feel like crap because you’re not getting enough fat, fuel and nutrients to feed your brain.

Enter depression, anxiety and other gut/hormone imbalances.

Which food can you start incorporating right now?

Is it true love 💕 you’re feeling or is it just your hormones?⁣
⁣
Did you know that brain scans show your brain will respond differently to love versus lust?⁣
⁣
According to science, romantic love is broken down into 3 categories:⁣
⁣
1️⃣LUST: (otherwise known as I want to get down your pants 👖 and make passionate love to you)⁣
⁣
Hormones involved: Testosterone & Estrogen⁣
⁣
Main Objective: the need to reproduce, share genes 🧬 and perpetuate the species.⁣
⁣
2️⃣ATTRACTION: this stage involves your “reward” behavior which is why the first few months of any new relationship can feel exciting and incredibly consuming 💕.⁣
⁣
Hormones involved: Dopamine & Norepinephrine ⁣
⁣
Main objective: dopamine, produced by your hypothalamus is a big player in reward behaviors. Basically, what feels good, you’ll want more of it.⁣
⁣
Big dopamine hitters are things like: s*x, food, drugs, alcohol, risky behaviors, etc.⁣
⁣
Both dopamine and norepinephrine make you feel giddy, high and euphoric which makes you less likely to eat and sleep.⁣
⁣
3️⃣ATTACHMENT: mainly predominant in long-term relationships. Attachments include friendships, social connections and parent-infant bonding.⁣
⁣
Hormones involved: Oxytocin & Vasopressin ⁣
⁣
Oxytocin is your “love hug 🤗” hormone or the bonding/cuddling connection. This hormone is released during s*x, breast feeding and childbirth.⁣
⁣
Love can be complicated though which is why so many people struggle in intimate relationships.⁣
⁣
Even though love can make us feel amazing, it’s often accompanied by jealousy, flux in moods and erratic behavior.⁣
⁣
And yes, love can make us dumb. Especially when you’re aroused, certain parts of your 🧠 turn off and sometimes you’re left with something you might regret later.⁣
⁣
Nonetheless, love is complicated and it can be both the most rewarding experience and a very challenging one too.⁣
⁣
I think we can have chemistry 🧪 with many people but whether you go for the long term is completely up to you! ❤️⁣
⁣
Happy Valentine’s Day!⁣

Your extra weight is a byproduct of your body & brain living in defense mode.

💯As I always say, your body wants to feel SAFE.

Throw in toxicity, autoimmune, hormone and inflammation issues and there WILL BE backfire.

And the #1 cause of all of this?

STRESS.

I know, I know, easier said than done, I totally get it.

In my experience, the biggest problems came after heavy bouts of stress.

Stress can include things like:

-Gut imbalances
-Low Progesterone/Estrogen, Testosterone and Thyroid
-Mineral deficiencies
-Life stress (moving, changing of job, divorce, etc.)
-Too much exercise
-Not enough exercise
-Poor nutrition

The list goes on.

So what happens when we’re stressed?

😬Cravings take over.

Think carbs, crunch, sugar, processed foods, all the things.

😬Your mood is impacted.

Think crabby, snappy, moody, depressed and anxious.

😬Your gut is disrupted.

Think bloat, constipation, loose stools, candida, etc.

And of course, weight gain.

That’s when most women come to me.

Weight gain is just a byproduct of an imbalance within your body.

It’s your body’s safety mechanism.
Same goes with your 🧠.

When you’re stressed, your body is calling for more SUGAR!

Give me the dopamine hit meow!!!

Follow my CARES model to help manage your cravings and tap into your body’s own biofeedback.
C—>cravings
A—>absorption/digestion
R—>recovery
E—>energy
S—>sleep

‼️ATTENTION SCALE OBSESSORS‼️

This post is for YOU!

“I’ve only lost 4 pounds, Kim.”

Then today I get a text……

“Decided I’d man up and take my progress photos…”

Can we say OMG 😱!!!!

This client is a prime example of why you can’t go by your scale weight alone.

Obsessing over your scale will drive you MAD 😡!

If you’re someone who can handle looking at the scale as a source of data tracking, great.

If you obsess over the number daily and base your mood and confidence off that number, toss that s**t 🗑.

You’re too badass to get caught up in that nonsense.

It ain’t worth it.

“Are you sure this isn’t too many calories?”
“Why am I not losing weight?”
“Do you think I’m lifting too heavy?”

Stop ✋ getting caught up in the bulls**t.

Can you instead focus on getting stronger and fitter and allow the weight to adjust?

I promise you’ll be so much happier this way. Plus, it gets you out of your mental mind f_ck.

If you’re basing your progress off a number, you’ll never be satisfied.

Because let’s say you hit that magic 🪄 number……then what?

I can guarantee it still won’t be enough because your confidence is coming from external vs. an internal validation.

How can you learn to love your body right now? How does that look? How can you change the narrative?

Here’s what we did for this client specifically:

✅ increased her calories overtime and had her track her food for a while.

✅ gave her three strength training workouts a week.

✅ tested her hormones and cortisol levels

✅ worked on her inflammation and stress levels.

Before:
Overworked. Underfed. Haywire hormones. “Adrenal fatigue”/ low cortisol. 3-4 hours of sleep a night.

Now:
Balanced hormones. Proper boundaries in place at work. Proper cortisol control. Quality nutrition. Less inflammation. More energy and better mood.

If you feel stuck feel free to reach out, we’re currently accepting new clients for our M3 Metabolic Method.

You can apply by filling out an application in my bio section.

The body you’re looking for doesn’t come from obsessing over calories, weight and excessive cardio.

The body YOU WANT comes in time with a dose of patience, consistency, discomfort and determination.

Here’s the caveat though…..

Most women believe they have to THINK their way through their journey.

When, in reality, it’s not the thinking that gets them to their destination and goals.

It’s the process, action steps and fortitude to do the uncomfortable things that actually get you there.

Most of us just don’t want to live in the discomfort so we try to fast forward our thinking which derails us to more anxiety and more stress.

It’s a negative feedback loop.

Especially if you’ve been conditioned for years to eat less, exercise more, obsess over your weight, etc.

Based on my own experience, I’ve found the less I tried to control my weight and body the happier I enviably became.

You see, we think “oh if I just lose 10 pounds THEN I’ll be good.” Or “if I just fit in those jeans I’ll be happy.”

I get it, and yet the more we try to force our way to that number, the less likely we’ll actually achieve it.

Why?

A) Because you’re trying to be ahead of yourself and get to the finish line quicker than when you’re truly ready.
B) You want to bypass all the lessons and teachings you’re meant to learn during your journey.
C) You’re too stressed trying to control the outcome

Anyways, this stuff isn’t often what we want to hear but it needs to be said.

More dieting, more obsession, more control (or so we think) keeps us stuck and unable to move through the lessons we’re so desperately trying to avoid.

How cool would it be to learn the lessons so you don’t have to repeat them over and over again?

I PROMISE…..

❌You don’t have to eat 1200 calories
❌do the stairmaster for 2 hours a day
❌go low-carb
❌give up your social life
❌not eat any of your favorite foods

To lose weight.

Here’s the truth:

✅Create a slight calorie deficit
✅Lift weights
✅Get solid sleep
✅Manage your stress
✅Eat nutritious foods

And YOU WILL feel so much better.

❤️❤️❤️❤️
Trust the process.
Be patient.

Meet our client Jenn.

Jenn came to us over a year ago and her life was hanging on by a thread 🪡.

She was over-worked (hello corporate lawyer), over-trained (doing way too much exercise, 6x a week), under-fed and emotionally spent.

🔥Present day Jenn is so dialed in on her protocol that she can literally make a few simple adjustments to her plan and her metabolism responds super quick.

These 2 photos are a month apart.

But let’s remember, she’s been at this for over a year.

It took her body a while to start trusting her again.

I think so many women want to hurry up and see the instant results but the reality is it took your body years to get to where it is, you have to be patient with the process.

Jenn was patient and dug in.

Her health hacking is unreal and she’s so in tune with her body she can literally detect what’s throwing her off.

✅For Jenn, we realized a lower protein diet was best for her so she’s vegetarian and feels good here.

✅We also have her lifting a few days a week and going heavy with rest in between.

✅She’s getting her daily movement in too.

✅We’ve worked hard on her estrogen dominance and we try to keep her stress low to prevent an uptick in constipation, weight gain and inflammation.

I’m SO proud of Jenn because she’s played the patient game.

She knew her body didn’t get here over night so she stayed the course and feels better than ever.

She’s also getting married 💍 in a few months!

Jenn is thriving and her results show for it.

Again, when your metabolism and hormones are balanced, you can shift your weight and your body responds pretty fast.

Otherwise, you might feel like you’re walking in mud and trying all the things and not getting anywhere.

This is when I truly feel hiring a professional team is KEY.

Rarely, if ever, can you fix metabolic/hormonal imbalances on your own.

Jenn has been doing our 1:1 coaching and hormone support.

Proud of you Jenn! 😘😘😘
