  • ” I started the Estrogel last Sunday and used the progesterone cream a few days.  Started the oral progesterone Wednesday night and I slept amazing!   I had trouble waking up as I felt so relaxed. Lol. I’m participating in a two week Christmas workout blitz which consists of daily morning workouts.  Anyways, that first morning, I felt a difference as I had no anxiety and was very relaxed throughout the entire workout.  

    Its only been a week and I feel soooo much better.  I’ve noticed that I am not as tired and don’t even get a slump in the afternoon. My thinking is clearer.  My digestion is better.  My complexion is clearer.  Even my hair looks healthier.  I’m not sure if all that is as a result of the hormones but I am so very grateful.  My libido is also slowly coming back to life. I immediately felt the tissues of my vagina becoming thicker and I am back to being able to make my own Lubrication. Incredible! 

    I can’t believe I’ve waited this long to make those changes.  I am never going back!!! Thank you so much for taking me as a client Karen  You have changed my life in so many positive ways with only an hour consultation.  I wish all doctors who treat women would be mandated to listen to your podcast!!  You are amazing!  Thank you” Dominique Boucher

  • What if in just a few months, you could reverse all of the symptoms of hormone deficiency or imbalance? 

    What would life look like?

    What if you never had to diet again because you found your perfect diet?

    What if you no longer had:

    • Lack of energy and motivation
    • Insomnia
    • Hot flashes
    • Night sweats
    • Dry vagina
    • PMS
    • Perimenopause
    • Depression and/or anxiety
    • Compulsive eating
    • Sugar addiction
    • Weight gain
    • Weight loss resistance
    • Irregular periods
    • Loss of sex drive

    What if in as little as three months you could transform your current frustrations and disappointments to place where you have the control back? The control over your body and how you look and feel.

    In your 3 month transformation coaching package you’ll walk away with an understanding of your particular hormonal status, lifestyle modifications, testing options, supplement & bioidentical hormone recommendations and stress management techniques to detoxify the body and support hormonal health from a bio-individual perspective. 

    You’ll learn how to achieve better sleep, reduce stress, improve digestion, stabilize blood sugar, relieve PMS, perimenopause or menopause symptoms, enhance focus and clarity, and increase energy. 

    YES, this is possible!

  • Five Steps to Transformation

    I focus on five key areas that are essential to lose the weight, balance your hormones, reverse the diseases of aging, and help you thrive:

    • Functional Testing

      When it comes to your hormones, my rule is Test Don’t Guess!  I am a Certified Hormone specialist trained in functional testing to investigate gut health, hormone balance, hormone detoxification, adrenal function, metabolic health, and more.

    • Weight Loss

      I am certified Transformational Nutrition Coach that specializes in midlife nutrition & weight loss. Balanced hormones, increased energy and balanced moods start with eating the right nutrition for your midlife body.  I will take you through my proven weight loss formula the Hormone & Metabolic Reset meal plan and show you how to tailor it to meet your specific nutritional & hormonal needs. You will walk away with an understanding of how to fast to optimize hormones and lose weight. Learn whether or not fasting will benefit or harm you based on your hormone profile. What foods to include which to avoid. How to continuously lose weight and avoid the dreaded weight loss plateau and much more!

      *Opt. to have extra food and fitness coaching with Certified Trainer Pam Sherman!

    • MINDSET

    Mindset is so important to success that it has to be part of your transformation.  A favorite quote of mine from Henry Ford goes: “Whether you think you can, or think you can’t—you’re right.” This means that if you think you can change, then you will change, but if you think you cannot, then you are stuck in place. Change can only happen with a growth mindset, but change can also be hard. In your 3 month coaching transformation I will help you to identify your limiting beliefs that could be holding you back from true transformation.

    • LIFESTYLE

      Quality of sleep and managing your stress are a must when it comes to balancing hormones and optimizing weight loss. I’ll help you pin point areas in your life that need improving, and recommend targeted supplemental support to address deficiencies and imbalances.

    • Hormone Replacement

      Hormone Replacement Therapy can be confusing and scary for women. Unfortunately, there is a lot of misinformation on the safety and use of hormone replacement. Most doctors DO NOT know the most up to date science on this topic, let alone understand the art of using it. Although I cannot prescribe HRT, I will educate you on all of the benefits and risks, as well as what your many options are including safe, over the counter hormone replacement. I will advise you in how to discuss HRT with your primary caregiver and coach you every step of the way. Every woman is different and the goal will be to find your optimal hormone replacement levels, delivery form, and dosage until you are completely symptom free!

    I will teach you the following:

    • How to use natural hormones safely for maximum effect
    • The differences between patented and chemicalized hormonal substitutes (what all of the confusing news reports are all about) and natural hormones.
    • What forms of natural hormones are the best for you in your situation- pills, gels, drops or creams.
    • The possible responses you will feel from each hormone.
    • How to monitor your responses and adjust your individual dosage for maximum results.
    • How to work with your physician to monitor your progress without objective medical tests.

     

  • Included in your 3 Month Peri & Post Menopause Transformation Package

    • 1 DUTCH hormone test kit shipped to you and done from the comforts of your own home (you can use any up to date hormone test that has been done within the last 6 months). The DUTCH test can be shipped anywhere in the world! Dutch Complete is the most advanced hormone test, offering an extensive profile of sex and adrenal hormones and melatonin, along with their metabolites, to identify symptoms of hormonal imbalances. The DUTCH Complete™ is the most accurate test providing a complete assessment of hormonal health.

Karen has gotten me back on track, has helped me figure out what hormones I need to survive menopause and has gotten my thyroid working again.

  • AGING DOES NOT HAVE TO BE UNCOMFORTABLE!

    I have been in the health industry for over 25 years and I am a Certified Hormone Specialist and Nutrition Coach. I have a passion in female hormone balancing and perimenopause and menopause symptom reversal and prevention. I am known for rapidly getting to the root cause of weight loss resistance, menstrual cycle dysfunction, hypothyroidism and other female hormone deficiencies.

    AGING CAN BE AMAZING! Yes it really can be and I am here to show you how you can look and feel your best during this transition into your wise woman years.

    With my signature program, I will help you;

    • Understand the dreaded meno belly weight gain. This often times is women’s biggest complaint! You will know why this is happening and the special tactics that are needed to reverse it.
    • Bust through the endless weight loss myths that are harming your hormones and keeping you fat, tired and hungry!
    • Understand what foods can help you optimize hormones
    • Learn what hormones change and how you manage these changes
    • Learn about my #1 weight loss hack that every midlife woman is missing for continued results

    • Natural hormone replacement is a terrific and safe option for many women. Replacing your missing hormones is not only safe but beneficial.

    • For women that have decided not to do HRT, I provide proven non hormone solutions.

    You get all the help you need with;

    • Peri-menopause.

      Perimenopause can begin any time typically between your early 40’s to 50’s and symptoms can last anywhere from a few years to 10+ years. Shifts in hormone levels during this time affect women both physically and psychologically, causing changes including mood swings, insomnia, vaginal dryness, night sweats, hot flashes and weight gain. Through my private coaching sessions and proven protocols my goal is to help you alleviate most if not all symptoms of perimenopause to make this transition as pleasant as possible!

    • Post Menopause

    Menopause is the point when a woman no longer has menstrual periods for at least 12 months. Post menopause is the stage after menopause. There are several conditions that you could be at a higher risk of after menopause. During this stage, menopausal symptoms, such as hot flashes, may ease for many women. However, some women continue to experience menopausal symptoms for a decade or longer after the menopause transition. As a result of a lower level of estrogen, postmenopausal women are at increased risk for a number of health conditions, such as osteoporosis and heart disease.

    *Other hormone imbalances that I can help you with include hypothyroidism, adrenal insufficiency or high cortisol, estrogen dominance, endometriosis, PCOS, PMS, PMDD and type two diabetes.
