✨𝒀𝑬𝑨𝑹 𝑬𝑵𝑫 𝑺𝑼𝑪𝑪𝑬𝑺𝑺 𝑺𝑻𝑶𝑹𝒀✨
This week’s success story is a little different… it’s me 🙂 With so many new faces here, I wanted to share my journey. Hi 👋🏻

I started my journey at 280 lbs in July 2006. By March 2008, I reached my goal of 120 lbs. I had spent years being bullied, depressed, and deeply unhappy in my body 😞. Becoming a new mom was a huge turning point too - it gave me a reason to change.

The journey wasn’t easy. There were moments of doubt, tears, resets, and times I questioned myself. But the hardest part of any health journey isn’t starting… it’s showing up for the rest of your life if you want to keep the results.

And I have.

18 years later, I maintain my weight around 140 lbs, with a strong focus on building muscle and strength so I can be and perform well - physically and mentally.
My most recent body scan showed:
• 17.5% body fat
• 128 lbs lean mass
• 75 lbs skeletal muscle

There are still days I don’t want to eat well, train, or even adult 🤪 but I do it anyway, because the alternative is worse. Those old wounds run deep, and honestly, they keep me going. You know, we grow every time we show up for ourselves! 💛

If you’re reading this, know this: it’s work 💯 but it’s worth it. You only get one body, one health, one life, and not trying is something I never wanted to regret.

If this speaks to you and you’re ready to be supported by someone who has lived it, learned it, and shared the way with thousands of women - my new guide Nutrition & Hormones for Women starts January 8th.

So many women are told to do more for their hormones.
More supplements. More protocols. More testing.

But hormone support actually starts much earlier than that. Actually supporting hormones starts with the basics. 💫

This image is a sneak peek into my new guide and the foundations of hormone support … the pieces that help your body feel safe enough to regulate and work in your favor.

Simple. Physiological. Sustainable.💛

In the below video you will learn what my NEW Nutrition & Hormones for Women Guide is, what it contains and what you can expect. Then you can decide if it might be a good fit for you.

🎄𝔐𝔢𝔯𝔯𝔶 ℭ𝔥𝔯𝔦𝔰𝔱𝔪𝔞𝔰 𝔱𝔬 𝔞𝔩𝔩!🎅🏽🎶
𝑰 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒑𝒐𝒆𝒎, 𝑰 𝒔𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒊𝒕 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚 𝒚𝒆𝒂𝒓 - 𝒆𝒏𝒋𝒐𝒚!

‘Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house,
EVERYONE WAS EXERCISING EVEN, THE MOUSE!
The dumbbells were stacked all in a row,
Arranged in order from heavy to low.
The children were skipping, with bright smiling faces
Creating natural endorphins with all of their paces,
Mamma was on the treadmill, favorite song playing loud
Papa was on the spin bike, looking at his family so proud.
When out on the lawn they heard such a wheeze,
The family peeked out and there on his knees,
Was an out of breath Santa who looked quite a mess,
An overhanging belly and a face filled with stress!
Many seasons of cookies had taken their toll,
Not to mention the treats, from the North Pole,
Too much worry and not enough rest,
Had left Santa a wreck, not at his best.
No shortbread!, No oatmeal!, No brownies or cake!
How much more can my arteries take? (LOL)
He pled without breath and asked for a chair,
They obliged with a smile, hearts filled with care.
“But Santa”, said the youngest, “you can say no”
“Or ask for fruit and veggies or eat paleo”
“Walk when you can and get lots of sleep”
“Try a hike up a hill, it’s fun when it’s steep”
“Don’t work so hard and laugh with your wife”
“That dear Santa is how to have a healthier life”
Santa was amazed at the child’s wise thoughts,
He handed her toys, the ones that he brought.

But what to his wondering eyes should he see,
Toys meant for playing, toys for activity,
a Football, a bike, a pink yoga mat,
A kite, some sneakers, a wooden baseball bat!

The family understood just how to be happy,
Be active, play outside and just the occasional taffy
Moderation they knew was certainly key 🔑
Santa felt changed, he was finally free.

He composed himself, ate a carrot or two,
Enjoyed his short break, he had a job to do,
He must tell the world, the importance of health!
It’s not just about toys, excess or wealth!

Up into the sky he went on his sleigh,
And went home that night to tell the North Pole,
The new focus on health for the world as a whole. 💚

In this rare and powerful interview, I sit down with Dr. Denis Wilson, the creator of Wilson’s Temperature Syndrome, for his first podcast appearance in years. Can you say AMAZING?! 🤩
We dive into the origin of Wilson’s Temperature Syndrome, what it actually is, and how it differs from classic hypothyroidism. Dr. Wilson explains why body temperature is one of the most accurate reflections of your metabolism! And why metabolism is the true core function of the thyroid.
👉🏻 You’ll learn why you can’t measure metabolism on a blood test, why normal thyroid labs don’t always mean you’re well, and how doctors may completely overlook conversion issues, low T3 function, and cellular-level hormone activity.
We also explore:
• Why low body temperature is a red flag for metabolic slowdown
• How to increase temperature with T3 and how weaning off can still leave symptoms resolved
• How the deiodinase enzymes work to control T4-to-T3 conversion
• Why so many people remain symptomatic even on thyroid medication
• The cellular reasons behind fatigue, weight gain, brain fog, and low mood
• How stress is one of the biggest drivers of thyroid dysfunction
• The shocking impact that just one night of poor sleep can have on metabolism
And lots more!

This episode is essential for anyone who has low thyroid symptoms but “normal” labs, struggles with chronic fatigue or low temperatures, or wants a deeper understanding of metabolism from the physician who pioneered this field.

Being ‘fit’ is not just about spending an hour or two a day exercising or how much you lift. It’s about SO much more. Your daily movement, mobility, strength, endurance and ease through natural full range movements, all play a huge part in your fitness and health. We ALWAYS remember – moveme...

Just like heart rate and blood pressure, body temperature reflects how well your metabolism is functioning. AKA your metabolic rate.
When the body is under stress - physical, emotional, or metabolic - temperature often drops. And that drop is not meaningless.

In this reel with Dr. Denis Wilson, we talk about:
• Why temperature is one of the best functional indicators of metabolic rate
• How stress can clearly lower metabolic output
• What different symptoms and test patterns can tell you about your physiology
• Why “normal labs” don’t always mean optimal function - including watch low, TSH, low temperature, and symptoms of hypothyroid mean.

Your body is constantly communicating.
Temperature is one of the clearest ways it speaks - if you’re willing to listen.

In my newest podcast with Dr. Denis Wilson, we talked about Wilson’s Temperature Syndrome and something that surprises a lot of people… 😳

For some individuals, very low doses of T3 simply aren’t enough to restore body temperature or relieve symptoms. Especially something as low as 5 mcg once a day!

Dr. Wilson explained that treatment often starts low - around 7.5 mcg twice a day and is carefully titrated upward over the following days until the optimal temperature is reached.

In certain cases, people may need much higher doses, sometimes 90 mcg or more, twice daily - to normalize temperature and finally feel better. I think I just heard all conventional doctors gasp 😱!

The goal isn’t the dose. The goal is restoring normal body temperature and symptom relief, under proper medical supervision.

We break this down fully in tomorrow’s episode premiering on YouTube at 7am mtn. Head on over to my YouTube channel now and click the notification button so you get notified as soon as it’s released. ☺️

Christmas success story - I always try to leave the best to last at this time of the year and this story is incredible.

Meet Cheryl Lynne. Before working with me, she completely disconnected from herself. She was exhausted, unhappy in her own skin, and struggling to recognize the woman staring back at her in the mirror. Many days ended in tears. As a busy mom of four, she kept pushing through for everyone else, but inside, she felt depleted, overwhelmed, and stuck. Her energy was gone, her perimenopause symptoms felt unmanageable, and she couldn’t see a clear way forward.

Now 70lbs down - all of her health markers have improved. She is now a regular exerciser and considers it her “me time“. And would tell you she feels like a new woman.

“Before I started this journey, I was exhausted, unhappy in my own skin, and had no energy. As a busy mom of four, I felt stuck and honestly couldn’t see a way out.
Everything changed when I found one of Chemaines podcasts and started reading her client stories. For the first time, I felt hope. I knew it was now or never - if I waited longer, things would only get worse.
Since working together, my life has completely changed. My perimenopause symptoms have improved, including my irritability and heavy periods. I have energy again, my mood is stable, and my relationships with my husband and kids is better than it’s been in years.
And yes! I’m officially down 70 pounds and have reached my goal weight of 160 pounds. But more importantly, I finally feel like myself again. Thank you Chemaine for everything.”

Cheryl’s story is a reminder that it’s never too late and that when your health changes, everything changes. If this resonated with you, check out my new 16 week guide where we address everything from weight loss and hormone health, to gut health and sleep. I have 3 spots left.☺️

I HAVE‼️And it’s what spurred me to make a change forever! I’ll never go back because I deserve more and I can be more. So do you - you know it deep down. 💚

I was called “fat girl”. I was told I was a loser and had ruined my life having a child so young.

Now I help others through my experiences the last two decades. They almost broke me - but I flipped it on its head and used it to make a difference!

If you feel you’re ready to get serious in 2026, you have hit your rock bottom, you think I can help - then let’s chat 💬.

𝑫𝒊𝒅 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒌𝒏𝒐𝒘 𝒃𝒆𝒂𝒏𝒔 & 𝒍𝒆𝒈𝒖𝒎𝒆𝒔 𝒂𝒓𝒆𝒏'𝒕 𝒏𝒆𝒄𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒂𝒓𝒊𝒍𝒚 𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒍𝒕𝒉𝒚 𝒐𝒓 𝒈𝒐𝒐𝒅 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚𝒐𝒏𝒆? 😳

For many people, especially those starting a health journey, beans and legumes can be highly inflammatory - not because they’re “bad foods,” but because they’re difficult to digest in an already inflamed gut and can be high in lectins, especially when not prepared properly. And let’s be honest, most people have inflamed, sensitive guts, and experience daily gut issues. The goal at the start of any health journey should be to reduce that. 🤷‍♀️

When digestion is compromised, these foods can:
👉🏻 increase bloating and gut irritation
👉🏻 fuel SYSTEMIC inflammation
👉🏻 slow… if not “stop” fat loss
👉🏻 keep the body in a stressed, reactive state
👉🏻 and stop you from getting into deep sleep because you can’t get into deep sleep if you’ve got is stressed and struggling all night!

This can stop people from getting better 💯 % , even when they’re doing “all the right things.”

I know some people will disagree with this, but again the reality is that most people today already have gut issues, so reducing digestive stress early on is often key to healing, reducing inflammation, and getting weight loss moving.

✨ Inside my new guide, we cover:
▪️how we identify inflammatory foods for your body
▪️how to calm gut inflammation 🧊
▪️how to support metabolism and encourage fat loss
▪️why more fibre isn’t always better!
And lots more!

In this clip from my recent podcast appearance on the Rock Bottom Health podcast, I discussed one of my lowest points which really started my journey. The night I had to be cut out of a dress because I was so inflamed that the zipper jammed. 😢

It’s only when you’ve been in positions like this that you can really understand how others feel with their weight issues. I don’t think I would be as good as teacher as I am now, had I always been slim. I needed these experiences to make me the best.
