Coach Jessie 💙
I help driven adults understand their hormones and metabolism
so they can align their habits with real life
and rediscover steady energy, strength, and self-trust. Wondrous Renewal Wellness provides functional nutrition and metabolism coaching for driven adults seeking sustainable, real-life results. I specialize in hormone health, metabolism support, strength training, and lifestyle alignment. I work with adults navigating perimenopause, midlife hormone shifts, digestive issues, metabolic slowdowns, weight loss resistance, and stalled progress. Through personalized nutrition, strength programming, and mindset work, I guide clients to understand their hormones and metabolism so they can align their habits with their season of life and rediscover steady energy, confidence, and self-trust. No quick fixes. Just evidence-informed strategy designed for real life. In addition to coaching, I offer therapeutic massage services in Birmingham, Alabama and virtual acne consultations rooted in functional nutrition, hormone balance, and digestive health. If you are looking for hormone and metabolism coaching that integrates strength, digestive health, weight loss support, and long-term wellness, you are in the right place. 💙

GLP-1 medications don’t work by directly causing fat loss.

They influence:

• appetite
• fullness
• food reward
• blood sugar regulation

Which often leads to reduced intake and more stable energy.

That’s why they’re used for more than just weight loss,
including metabolic and blood sugar support.

But here’s an important piece to understand:

Most of these effects are tied to the medication itself.
When it’s stopped, those effects often lessen.

Without the right support in place,
that can make it harder to maintain results.

Understanding how they work
helps you use them more intentionally 💙

This is not medical advice.
It’s here to help you make informed decisions alongside your provider.

Follow along, I’ll be breaking down what to watch for next.

If you’re trying to improve ferritin, understanding how iron works in the body is often an important starting point.

Iron in food comes in two forms: heme iron (found in animal foods) and non-heme iron (found in plant foods). Heme iron is generally absorbed more efficiently.

Pairing iron-rich foods with vitamin C can help improve absorption, while certain compounds like coffee, tea, calcium, and phytates may reduce absorption when consumed at the same time as iron-rich meals.

Iron needs can also increase with things like heavy menstrual cycles, endurance training, high training volume, pregnancy/postpartum, or low dietary intake, which can make maintaining healthy iron stores more challenging for some individuals.

Iron is an essential nutrient, but too much iron can also be harmful, which is why supplementation should always be guided by labs rather than taken blindly.

If you’re experiencing symptoms and suspect low iron, a full iron panel typically includes markers like:

Iron panel markers:
• ferritin
• serum iron
• TIBC / UIBC
• iron saturation

These markers together help provide a clearer picture of iron status.

These markers are not always included in routine blood work, so sometimes they need to be specifically requested.

In my previous reels I shared my ferritin labs and some of the symptoms that led me to ask for testing. If you missed those, check them out for more context.

Understanding your labs can be one way we advocate for our health and have more informed conversations with our healthcare providers.

And sometimes having a knowledgeable coach in your corner can help connect the dots between training, nutrition, labs, and how you’re actually feeling day to day. 💙

Have you ever had your ferritin tested as part of a full iron panel?

Strength isn’t about perfection.

It’s about resilience, growth, and the willingness to keep evolving.

Grateful to walk alongside so many strong women doing exactly that.

Happy International Women’s Day. 💙

Real-life morning routines don’t need to be aesthetic.
They need to be supportive.

Most midlife adults I work with aren’t exhausted because they lack discipline.
They’re exhausted because their foundations are inconsistent.

Light.
Hydration.
Protein.
Sleep rhythm.

These habits help regulate your circadian rhythm, support healthy cortisol timing, and stabilize blood sugar.

Energy feels steadier when your body feels regulated.

And sleep isn’t just rest.
It’s when your body repairs, restores, and recalibrates stress.

Better rhythm at night creates better resilience in the morning.

Most people don’t need a new diet.
They need better structure around the basics.

When breakfast includes enough protein, fiber, and steady fuel, it supports mental clarity, strength goals, and long-term metabolic health without extremes.

If you’d like my Balanced Breakfast Formula,
DM me “Breakfast” and I’ll send it over. 💙

Simple. Strategic. Sustainable.

Doing everything “right” but still feeling off doesn’t mean you need more discipline.

It often means your body is asking for support.

I created a free Hormone Support Checklist to help you understand what your body might be communicating without extremes or overwhelm.

Comment SUPPORT and I’ll send it your way. 💙

Growth requires effort and intention.

This has been coming up a lot in member check-ins lately:
That tension between needing to push
and needing to respect capacity.

Here’s the truth we keep landing on together:
discomfort is part of growth, but it works best when it’s supported.

I’ve been in this season too.
After a period of training consistently 3 days a week to heal and rebuild,
I’m intentionally pushing again with heavier lifts, & more sessions because I made space for it first.

That meant:
• prioritizing sleep
• fueling to support the work
• setting clearer boundaries with my time and energy

Capacity isn’t a place to stay stuck.
It’s something you can build so effort actually leads somewhere.

This is the work we’re doing quietly, steadily, and on purpose. 💙

This is one of my favorite kinds of transformations to share.

Sherri has gone from a size 𝟲–8 𝘁𝗼 𝗮 𝟮–4 while her weight has stayed relatively stable. A clear example of body recomposition built through strength training, aligned nutrition, and consistency.

That didn’t come from eating less or pushing harder.

It came from:
• Increasing calories to support her lifts
• Reducing processed foods
• Making targeted tweaks to support digestion
• And staying consistent with programming she actually enjoys

This is the most consistent she’s ever been and it shows not just in how her clothes fit, but in how strong and capable she feels.

David’s journey followed naturally.
He started with training, got stronger, noticed his shoulder feeling better — and then chose to bring nutrition into the mix when it felt like the right next step.

Now he’s:
• Lifting stronger
• Training without constant shoulder pain
• Experiencing better digestion
• Relying less on energy drinks to get through the day

No extremes. No pressure.
Just better awareness, better support, and habits that fit real life.

𝗙𝘂𝗻𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗻𝘂𝘁𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗺 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 — 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲.

If you’ve been consistent but feel like something still isn’t clicking, it might not be about doing more — it might be about doing what actually fits.

Consistency gets easier when your habits don’t feel punishing.
Small wins, gentle structure, and a little play go a long way, especially in midlife when stress, hormones, and real life are already full.

Whether it’s journaling, movement, hydration, or food choices, the goal isn’t a perfect streak; it’s building habits that actually support your nervous system, metabolism, and energy.

If you like gamifying habits, tell me:
What’s your favorite way to track or celebrate consistency?

Winter can feel heavier for so many of us — and there’s a real physiological reason behind it.
Less sunlight = a disrupted circadian rhythm, lower mood, harder mornings, more cravings, and that “off” feeling that’s tough to put into words.

And here’s something surprising:
Research has actually shown that 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝘃𝗼𝗶𝗱 𝘀𝘂𝗻𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝘀𝗶𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗿 𝘁𝗼 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝘀𝗺𝗼𝗸𝗲.
Not because sunlight is magic… but because our biology depends on regular light exposure to regulate everything from mood to energy to metabolic health.

I’ve been talking recently about getting outside for walks, even though I absolutely hate the cold. Those few minutes outside? They help anchor my mood, my energy, my sleep, my appetite… all the things that tend to drift this time of year.

It’s one of my own 𝗱𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗱𝗲𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘀 — the small, doable actions (I’ve been emailing about) that stack up into real momentum.

Not perfection. Not forcing yourself into extreme routines.
Just tiny, supportive choices that remind your body, “I’m here. I’m taking care of you.”

If winter hits you harder than you expect, you’re not alone.
This season asks a little more from us, but small habits truly make a meaningful difference. 💙

If you’re out here doing the “winter layer shuffle” like me just to get a 10-minute walk in… you’re my people. 😂

Struggling with winter energy?
DM me and I’ll help you choose a few daily deposits that don’t require looking like you’re trekking through the Arctic. 💙

We hear all the time that our body keeps score of stress…
but it also keeps score of the good we do for it.

Those tiny “daily deposits”, the simple habits that support your hormones, metabolism, energy, and mood.
The things that don’t feel big at all in the moment…but stack up in real, sustainable ways.

And as we wrap up the year, here’s your reminder:
you don’t need a Monday, January 1st, or a perfect plan.
It’s not too early, and it’s definitely not too late to start supporting your body in this season. 💙

What’s one small deposit you’re making today?

𝗣𝗖𝗢𝗦 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗶𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗽𝘂𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗿, 𝗶𝘁’𝘀 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝗼𝗱𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗿𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝘆𝗼𝘂.

And progress with PCOS can look different for everyone: clearer symptoms, steadier energy, fewer cravings, hormonal shifts, better digestion, or changes in body composition.

Many people with PCOS are navigating changes in 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗹𝗶𝗻 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗲, 𝗯𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗱-𝘀𝘂𝗴𝗮𝗿 𝗯𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲, 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗹𝗼𝗮𝗱, 𝗱𝗶𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗹𝗮𝗺𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 — and those shifts can influence how your metabolism responds to food, movement, and daily habits.
That doesn’t mean you’re doing anything wrong. It means your body has its own story.

When you start noticing patterns in your 𝘀𝘆𝗺𝗽𝘁𝗼𝗺𝘀, 𝗰𝗿𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀, 𝗯𝗹𝗼𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗰𝘆𝗰𝗹𝗲 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀, 𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆, 𝗺𝗼𝗼𝗱, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗯𝗶𝗼𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸, you begin to see what your physiology needs to feel supported.
Awareness creates clarity — and clarity makes it easier to choose an approach that actually works with your body.

You’re not stuck. You may just need to 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵 so it supports your unique physiology. 💙

If you want help making sense of your symptoms, labs, or biofeedback, I’m here to help you connect the dots.
