Thrive
The essence of power and vitality that is created by healthy living.
Mysteriously gaining weight around the middle despite doing all the things that used to work to get rid of it? Mood swings taking you by surprise and making you feel like a different person - one you don't even like? Wide awake for half the night AGAIN?! While you watch your partner snoring peacefully next to you? Unpredictable heavy periods stopping you from making plans or enjoying a night out? Spending $ on "natural" supplements that might fix these issues but after spending all that you don't feel much of a difference? Do you already "eat healthy" but feel it's not helping with your sleep, mood, or energy levels?
Do you wonder if you’ll ever
feel like yourself again?
If you answered yes to any of these questions - don't worry - you are not alone and you CAN bring your body back to balance and feel rested, relaxed, and back to your fun, active self again. Lots of women make the mistake of running out and getting a supplement for sleep, then one for mood or anxiety, and yet another for heavy periods. Or - they don’t realize that the “healthy” food they are eating may not actually be supporting their body and hormone health. In fact, it’s not uncommon for them to unknowingly make their symptoms worse with hidden inflammatory ingredients or leaving out essential nutrients needed for hormone balance - which means stronger symptoms and a rough perimenopause experience. But trying to figure out what works to help you feel better on your own takes time, research, and likely trial and error. And let's face it, nutrition advice is confusing. Even though we all know we should “take care of ourselves”, there is no clear guidance on how - especially in perimenopause. That’s because:
- There is no such thing as a diet, supplement, or workout program that works for EVERYONE.
- We're chasing and trying to correct the symptoms instead of looking for the root causes of our hormone imbalances.
If you're finding that nothing you try is working to improve your energy, help you sleep, or alleviate your symptoms anymore, you are not alone. Once we reach perimenopause, our bodies require a different level of care than they did in our 20s and 30s. On top of that, our nutritional needs change from cycle to cycle and sometimes even day to day, so learning how to address the root causes of your unique imbalances is the only way to support your body from the inside out for a smoother ride in perimenopause. Gut health - Poor gut health means fewer nutrients are extracted from your food to produce hormones and keep your hormone receptor cells healthy. We need those receptor cells fueled and healthy so you’ll be able to USE the hormones you DO have. This may be why HRT doesn’t work for so many women.Blood sugar balance - Insulin, one of the main hormones regulating blood sugar, is a prominent player in the endocrine system. High or low blood sugar leads to imbalances in estrogen, testosterone, and progesterone. Not addressing this root cause will keep you stuck, wondering why nothing you try is working.Detoxification - We need to get rid of toxins and excess hormones that otherwise stay in circulation and cause symptoms. Excess estrogen may cause heavy periods, fibroids, and tender breasts. Excess cortisol may cause anxiety, weight gain, osteoporosis, or high blood pressure. Even if you produce the right amount of these hormones, you’ll be stuck with unwanted symptoms if you can't detoxify them.Adrenal Health - Our adrenal glands must be in top shape so we can maintain all-day energy, sleep when we're supposed to and produce estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone when our ovaries stop producing them. If these important endocrine glands are fatigued they may not be able to produce the levels of hormones needed for a smooth perimenopause transition. The good news is that ALL these root causes can be addressed by making changes to how and what you eat, and identifying nutritional deficiencies. The Hormone Balance Deep Dive is a great first step in getting expert guidance on what that means for YOUR body, and how to address the root causes of YOUR specific hormone imbalances.
Take the first step in uncovering the root causes of YOUR unique set of imbalances.
Over the course of 2 private sessions, we will deep dive into which of the 4 main root causes YOUR body needs help with the most. I will teach you some basic Ayurvedic tools to decode your symptoms and recommend simple changes and substitutions you can make to your meals so you can start shifting your body toward better hormone health, increased energy, and a deeper awareness of how to work WITH your body to improve your hormone health so you can feel like yourself again. I may recommend supplements based on YOUR unique set of symptoms and test results. Rather than fixing symptoms - these targeted supplements will address your unique root causes, alleviating your symptoms from the inside out. Because Ayurveda has such powerful lifestyle practices, we'll also take a deep dive into what factors in your life are affecting the root causes of your hormone imbalances AND the most effective changes you can make with your routines to reduce your symptoms. How it works:First, we'll have our initial meeting to go over your Ayurvedic Profile, and your 5 Day Food Journal. Then, we'll determine which functional test (either a GI MAP stool test OR an HTMA Mineral Test) is best for you. You'll leave the first session with recommendations and a portal to educational content to get you started. Once we get the results of your test, we'll meet again and Deep Dive into all the info that makes your hormone blueprint. Together we'll go over my analysis of your tests, and custom recommendations for you. You’ll keep your customized action plan that factors in YOUR specific symptoms and conditions so you can start balancing your hormones and living your life on YOUR terms. When you take consistent action to implement the personalized recommendations you'll receive in this session, you'll experience:
- better energy
- stronger metabolism
- better sleep
- better mood
- fewer symptoms of hormone imbalance
naturally
As women over 40, we have tremendous responsibilities and expectations of us, and we are wired to rise to the occasion, take care of our families, and excel at work - all at the expense of our health. It's time to put ourselves first and take back our health. We deserve a life filled with energy, and strength, and to enjoy what we've created over the past 2-3 decades. This is for you if you are someone who is:
- Tired of feeling exhausted and moody.
- Wishing you could sleep through the night.
- Always feeling anxious even though you don’t have anything to be anxious about.
- Having trouble losing excess weight despite doing the things that used to work.
- Open to learning something new and different.
- Ready to implement some changes for the better.
- Ready to get your spark back and lift others up.
This is NOT for you if:
- You just want to collect information but not act on it
- You need help implementing a plan so it will stick long-term (I can help with this too, but this session doesn’t include long-term support)
- You’re not interested in making changes to support your health
- You want a quick fix or magic pill so you don’t have to put in real effort to achieve true health.
Includes:
- 2 Private sessions w Laura
- HTMA or GI MAP Test Kit, Results, and Analysis
- Digital Food Journal
- A written copy of personalized recommendations
- Ayurvedic Food List for balancing on your own
- Access to recipes from the Thrive Method Program.
