Karen Martel Women's Hormone Specialist
Helping women to navigate peri & post menopause and balance their hormones to lose weight and feel their best!
I am a Certified Hormone Specialist & Transformational Nutrition Coach and women’s weight loss expert.
After experiencing an array of hormonal & perimenopausal symptoms myself, I quickly realized that there is a serious lack of consistent information available out there when it comes to this transition in women’s lives. The lack of quality information and help for peri & post-menopausal women is astounding and incredibly disappointing. Women are often told to suck it up (maybe not in those exact words) and that it is “normal” to experience debilitating symptoms as they lose their hormones.
Well, I am here to tell you otherwise, there is no need to suffer AT ALL during this transition in your life. I provide women with accurate, evidence-based information and support regarding peri & post menopause, enabling them to make more informed choices about the management of their hormones and provide a better pre and post-menopausal quality of life.

I am a Certified Hormone and Health Coach, and Personal Trainer.
I started in the fitness industry about 10 years ago as a fitness instructor and personal trainer. Soon after, I realized that helping people reach their health goals was a lot more than just how much you move your body, but also about what you eat, how you sleep and how you manage your stress levels. This motivated me to get a nutrition, hormone specialist and gut health specialist certification so Icould help people tackle their health issues from a foundational perspective. I firmly believe that health optimization is not only found just by changing things in your lifestyle, but also your mindset and realizing that health is a continuous journey of educating yourself.
I work alongside Karen and together we are determined to bring our expertise to women around the world. I am an expert on body building, women’s hormone health, personalized nutrition, peptide therapy and chronic illness.
I look forward to helping you to reach your health goals!

Beyond any of my credentials, certifications, courses, books, and research, nothing has taught me more than the client in front of me and my personal experience of going through perimenopause and menopause myself. There is no one size fits all! Each of you is unique, so the approach must be unique to you!
