5 AHA Moments That Changed My Client’s Hormones, Fat Loss, and Energy

And how they might change yours too 💫

I had a client tell me,

I’m doing all the right things—eating clean, exercising, cutting back on sugar—but my body still feels off and I don’t look the way I “should” with all the effort I’m putting in.

Sound familiar??

What we uncovered on her intake wasn’t revolutionary… But it was foundational.

And once we addressed a few key patterns?

✨ Her symptoms started to resolve.
✨ Her digestion regulated.
✨ Her energy returned.
✨ Her body composition shifted.

These are the kinds of things we don’t get taught in standard wellness plans—but they change everything.

Today I’m sharing 5 of the biggest AHA moments that came out of our work together. These are simple shifts that can lead to real results—especially if you’ve been spinning your wheels.

P.S. I had lots of feedback after my gut-hormone webinar that you all want more hormones/metabolism/energy content — so that’s what we’re doing!

Join me Tuesday, June 3rd to kick things off before summer.

EF’s AHA Moments

42, Mom of 3 under age 6, constantly on the go, giving more to her kids than to herself

1. Pooping Every 2 Days ≠ Normal

➡ What’s really happening: Infrequent bowel movements signal sluggish motility—and that means estrogen metabolites, toxins, and excess hormones may be reabsorbed instead of cleared.

🧠 AHA: You can be eating “clean” and working out, but if you’re not eliminating daily, your body is likely holding on to inflammation and fat—especially around the midsection.

2. Grazing All Day ≠ Fat Burning

➡ What’s really happening: Constant snacking keeps insulin elevated—blocking your ability to tap into fat stores. Even small bites = a metabolic event.

🧠 AHA: Your body needs space between meals to burn fat, clean up cellular debris, and stabilize energy. Without it? Fat loss stalls and energy tanks.

3. Sugar Cravings Are Not About “Willpower”

➡ What’s really happening: Cravings are often a symptom—not a flaw. They signal blood sugar dips, micronutrient gaps (esp. magnesium), and emotional depletion.

🧠 AHA: That 3pm or post-bedtime urge for something sweet? It’s your body asking for stability, energy, and dopamine.

4. Meal Skipping & Skewed Timing Sabotages Results

➡ What’s really happening: Skipping breakfast or eating erratically stresses the adrenals and disrupts blood sugar. This cues the body to conserve—not release—fat.

🧠 AHA: Eating less doesn’t always = weighing less. Your body wants to feel safe to let go.

5. Mom Life = High Output, High Demand

➡ What’s really happening: You’re constantly “on,” which means your body is using up micronutrients (B vitamins, magnesium, omega-3s) at a rapid rate—even if stress feels low.

🧠 AHA: Just because you’re coping well doesn’t mean your body isn’t in depletion mode behind the scenes.

For EF, this was especially true after back to back pregnancies with no time to replete between — even 2 years postpartum she’s feeling it.
