MARCH 2023
Hi! I wanted to let you know that I am now creating a "wellness" theme for online classes each month with the intention of focusing on something specific for a longer period of time. This consistency can offer better support for the body and mind.

The theme for March classes is STABILITY. This comes before strength & mobility and creates a solid foundation for them. We can create stability in the body by using what is called progressive overload which means the body is more stable by constantly giving it more resistance. Our bones, muscles and connective tissue stay more stable this way. And when they are stable they can get stronger with less chance of injury.

We also have areas in the body that need to be more stable and others that need to be mobile. This is a sensitive relationship because if a mobile joint becomes stable (for example the ankle) then it effects the function of the joints closest to it. So in classes we will work to keep them the way they are meant to function!

Tissue tolerance is another important concept. We need to develop tissue tolerance by starting off with smaller loads/resistance and then continue to add to that. The body goes into an adaptive response to the stimulus it is given and will get stronger. The same goes if we don't move enough or are not giving the body enough of a challenge...the body gets weaker.

As we age, we want to prevent sarcopenia which is defined as the gradual loss of muscle mass. The most common cause of this is the natural aging process and we can gradually begin losing muscle mass and strength in our 40s. This process can pick up at around age 65. Rates vary but you may lose as much as 1 lb of lean body mass each year. However, it is possible to maintain it we just have to consistently work at it!

Please see the weekly classes being offered below and email me back to pre-register.

Project 23
Every part of a woman’s cycle needs different nutrients depending on what is going on with our hormones. It is so important that we get the right nutrients we need exactly when we need them.

Menstrual Formulas
Those who get their period need different support through all 3 phases (period, follicular and luteal). I am on the menstrual formula and for the first time in my life, I had no menstrual cramps in my first month of taking this. I still can’t believe it. I usually have painful cramping for 4-5 days and have to take pain killers to function but this month it came and went with no discomfort. And I didn't have pain during ovulation which was also a first. Having pain each month from age 13 to age 48…let’s just say I am so incredibly grateful for this because it has always been so debilitating for me.

Menopause Formula
The menopause formula is for all of the phases of menopause (peri-menopause, menopause and post-menopause) and you can see the many benefits listed.

These formulas have been 5 years in the making and are soy isoflavone free and hormone free. For more information on the menstrual formulas or the menopause formula click here.

Pre-launch Discount
There are pre-launch discounted prices starting this Tuesday February 21.
$54.99US for the Menopause Formula
$74.99US for the 3 Menstrual Formulas

If you are interested, please let me know asap. We had a private launch for the business owners and it sold out in 45min and some were not able to get it...so I think it is safe to say that the pre-launch supply that is discounted could sell out too.
