The first year of motherhood is the most insane, unhinged, crazy thing you’ll ever go through (in the best possible way)

And then there’s the sleep thing.

You don’t sleep properly for what feels like FOREVER.😳

But even when you finally do sleep, (which was after 1 year for me) I was still waking up still exhausted AF

Technically asleep,😓 but not even a little bit rested.

Turns out that’s NOT just a mom thing, that’s a MINERAL thing.

This is why we Test and Dont Guess!🧪

He doesn’t know what strong means yet.

He just knows what he sees.

Looking good matters to me. I’m not gonna pretend it doesn’t.

But being fit as a parent was never just about how I look in the mirror.

It’s about what your kid is absorbing every single day without you saying a word.

He sees me show up for him with love and giggles even when I’m tired AF.

He sees me choose myself by going to the gym on broken sleep, when it would be so much easier not to.

He sees his mom's determination by the actions I take everyday not the excuses I make.

And one day he won’t remember the pushup.

He won’t remember the workout.

But he’ll remember what STRONG looked like from his mom.šŸ’Ŗ

For me, being fit isn’t optional when you’re a parent.

It’s how you raise a strong, healthy boy and our future generation who respects their body and their health.

It’s always been a non negotiable for me.

Lead by example. That’s my whole purpose.

Your 40s aren’t supposed to wreck you.

Depletion is what wrecks you.

And depletion is fixable.

We hear it constantly.

Fatigue, brain fog, stubborn weight, mood swings. We’re told it’s just age. Just hormones. Just what happens now.

It’s not age. It’s depletion.

Your minerals are tanked. Your cortisol curve is off.

Your thyroid conversion is struggling. That’s not a life stage. That’s a pattern.

And patterns can be tested, seen, and corrected.

You are not broken. You are depleted AF

And thats a Big fu***ng difference.

So before you accept ā€œthis is just my 40sā€ as the answer, get curious.

Get the labs. Find the root cause becuase you can be.....

40 and feel 25, or be 40 and feel 85.

choice is yours.

3 things that explain why you're wired at night and exhausted during the day even if you're doing everything right😫

When I was 19 my hair started falling outā˜¹ļø

I went to my doctor.

The answer I got was Rogaine.

And what did I do?

I was 19. I blindly followed it.

No questions asked, because that’s what you do, right? The doctor said it, so it must be true.

Nobody asked about my diet.

Little did I know I was nowhere close to enough protein.

SIBO was quietly wrecking my gut.

And a gluten intolerance was sitting underneath the whole thing, untested, unnamed.

Hair loss was never the problem.

It was the smoke.

The fire was happening in my labs, in my gut, in what my body had been trying to tell me the whole time.

Except I had NO idea šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø what to test for and what to do.

Here’s the thing.

I am grateful for Western medicine.

When I gave birth to my son I needed EVERY single drug they gave me.

Childbirth is NO joke.😳🤨

Same if you get into an accident. Same if you need surgery. That is what it is there for, and thank god it is there.

But someone with seven minutes and a prescription pad was never going to find SIBO.

Was never going to ask about protein.

Was never going to test for gluten.

That is not a doctor’s job.

That's mine.

It is our responsibility to take radical ownership of our health.

Not to hand the power to a flawed medical system, and "hope" they figure it out for us.

That is what I help with.

Cutting through the wellness noise.

Finding the protocol that actually works for YOUR body.

Until it stops being a protocol, and just becomes how you live.

Labs of a six figure CEO who has been in business over twenty years.

He came to me with one complaint. Low energy.

But when I pulled his cortisol panel back, it was flatlined.

And I looked at him and said, "how are you alive right now."😳

This isn’t just stress. This is exhausted. Depleted. Running on empty and still showing up state of stress.

No wonder he was losing his edge on sales calls. His body had nothing left to give.

Then we ran his gut test.

H pylori infection.🦠

He had been feeling pain in his stomach for fifteen years and just adjusted to it. Told himself that was just how his body worked.

It was not how his body worked. It was an infection nobody caught.

When your gut is inflamed and your body is in survival mode, intimacy is the first thing to go.

Not because he stopped loving his wife. Because his body did not have the resources left to care.

Fast forward to today.

He is back in the sack with his wife.

Energy šŸ”‹is up. And in his words, he feels like his twenty five year old self again.

Because you do not have to live your life at 40, running at 40%.

This is why we test, don’t guess.🧪

Your labs will give you the answers you have been searching for.

Because you deserve to be back in the sack.šŸ˜And back to closing dealsšŸ’ŖšŸ¤‘

Year one of Motherhood nearly broke me.

That’s the part you don’t really fully understand until you’re IN the trenches.

It is the most beautiful, most exhausting, most identity shifting year a woman can walk through.

If you’re in it right now, deep in the fog, wondering where you went. I see you.

You are not lost. You are becoming.✨
