I’m Pivoting…Making Some Much Needed Changes
Whoooo, just writing that title felt scary and exciting. As 2022 has been a most welcoming year, I feel like this is an amazing time to share what I’m up too. I can’t believe it’s been 1 year since I left nursing-one full year since saying goodbye to my career that I thought I was destined for. One year since taking the leap into entrepreneur life. One year into being able to share my knowledge and skills with women all over the world.
As you know, or maybe not, I am a holistic hormone nutritionist. I have been helping women get a totally new level of health. I’m very passionate about women’s health, specifically period health. The last year as a coach has been eye opening and so rewarding. I am so grateful for the women I have been able to support. But with this amazing new I have a different vision in mind-big goals this year. As much as I love being able to help women with their health on a 1:1 level, it really isn’t my deepest passion. I absolutely 100% love education and sharing everything I have learned and experienced.
I love community, I love sharing thoughts, ideas, experience, and knowledge. I love rising together.
That’s why I will be saying goodbye to 1:1 coaching. Don’t fret though-you can still work with me but it will be in a different capacity. I will only be working with women (and men if referred) through functional testing. What does that even mean? Happy you asked.
I am able to offer functional labs such as gut testing (GI Map, MRT), hormone testing (dutch, other hormone testing) and mineral testing (HTMA). My packages for GI/hormone testing will be changing. GI testing involves a stool sample and some blood work. Hormone testing can either be urine or saliva depending on the test. Mineral testing is a hair sample. How amazing is it to be able offer you these super cool, very informative tests?
OK now to the point…I’m getting there. I will be focusing my business heavy on education. I will be supporting other health coaches and fitness coaches who want more knowledge around hormone health (period health and foundational support). That means I will be creating a badass group course that encompasses all things hormones and also be offering guest speaking within group programs. So if you’re a fitness coach or health coach and would like to me to speak to the women in your program on hormones I would love that.
Marv & I tried to run the other day and I almost died. I am not a runner but I know Marv is so I try my hardest to accommodate the little shit. I am so very excited to be pivoting. It feels good to jump into something that feels so much more aligned.
I believe the fitness world has a huge impact on women. I don’t necessarily think the fitness world has women’s health in it’s best interest. I think there are a lot of toxic things that happen in fitness. I think there is a ton of opportunity for growth and change in this setting. Can you imagine being able to not only help women lose weight but also address some of their actual health concerns? Can you imagine understanding even your own menstrual cycle and how that impacts your training? Moods? Health? I mean it blows my mind!!
So my mission is to bridge the gap in women’s health specifically in fitness!! I hope you come with me on this ride! I am so grateful you’ve been a part of my growth on this journey!!
in health,
Desiree & Marv
