If we had only looked at the scale…
this would’ve felt like a failure.

Weight went up. Body fat only dropped a little.

And this is exactly where most women panic, cut calories harder, abandon the plan, or decide “their metabolism is broken.”

But here’s what actually happened 👇
➕ Lean mass increased by over 4 lbs
➕ Skeletal muscle increased by 4 lbs
➕ Body fat went down
➕ Metabolically active tissue went UP

This is not failure. This is a body learning how to be fueled, trained, and supported again.

Muscle is not cosmetic. Muscle is metabolic protection. Muscle is blood sugar control, bone density, strength, and long term independence.

If this woman had chased weight loss alone, she would have lost muscle, slowed her metabolism, and reinforced the exact cycle she was trying to escape.

This is why strongHER is not a “weight loss” program. It’s a body recomposition program. We track what actually matters so we don’t make emotional decisions that sabotage long term results.

If this post messed with your head a little… good. That means you’re starting to see why the old rules stop working in midlife.

StrongHER isn’t open right now, but this is the work we’re doing inside it. And this is exactly why we do it this way.

Look, I love a big bowl of cozy food as much as anyone, but it has to hit two marks:

1️⃣ It has to taste amazing.
2️⃣ It has to support your energy, gut, and metabolism instead of tanking it.

So I built The Comfort Food Collection for my Ability Amplified members.

Think bubbling lasagna, cabbage roll soup, shakshuka, casseroles, roast chicken, and recipes that make you want to sit on the couch in a blanket and still feel incredible afterward.

If you want the full collection of warming, nutrient dense meals that will get you through the rest of winter without feeling sluggish or blah, come join Ability Amplified. The recipe book is waiting for you!

When your body does not feel seen, heard, or safe—it cannot heal.
And sometimes the first step is not “fixing” anything.
It is saying, “Of course I feel this way.”

Here’s what I see all the time:
✅ Sluggish protein breakdown
✅ Poor amino acid availability
✅ Conjugation issues
✅ Liver overload
✅ Mineral depletion
✅ Training hard but not recovering

You can eat all the steak in Wyoming and still not be absorbing or converting efficiently. That’s where targeted amino acids can be incredibly helpful.

I personally use Kion Aminos during lifting sessions.
Not because I need a trendy supplement.
Because I care about muscle preservation, recovery, and performance.

And clinically? When I see patterns on labs that suggest poor protein metabolism or detox bottlenecks, this is one of my go to tools.

And from now through Feb 17, Kion is having a sale that gets you 20% off sitewide!

➡️ If you’re in a muscle building phase
➡️ If you’re in perimenopause and fighting for lean mass
➡️ If your labs say “you’re not breaking down protein well”

This might be a smart move.

This is the part no one talks about.

You’re not lazy.
You’re not weak.
You’re not broken.

You’re exhausted from holding it together while your body quietly waves the white flag.

This client came to me feeling like her health and mental state were sliding downhill fast. No dramatic injury. No single diagnosis. Just a system that could no longer tolerate stress.

That’s not a motivation problem. That’s a resilience problem. And it’s exactly why symptom chasing never works.

If this sounds like you, you don’t need another plan. You need a different lens. Send me a DM and let's talk about whether Systems of Success is the right one for you!

My recent labs showed I wasn’t breaking protein down into usable amino acids efficiently… which meant I could eat all the “perfect” meals and still feel sore, drained, and stuck.

So I supported the process instead of just adding more protein.

Here’s what helped:

✅ Betaine HCL + digestive enzymes with meals to improve breakdown
✅ Amino acids during workouts to support real-time muscle repair

The shift?
Less soreness. Better energy. Workouts that finally felt productive instead of depleting.

If you’re doing everything “right” nutrition-wise but not seeing progress, the issue might not be what you’re eating — it might be how your body is processing it.

Protein only works if your digestion and cells can keep up.

Protein coffee in one hand, sore muscles in the other… and still no progress?

You are not crazy. You might be eating plenty of protein, but your body isn't using it.

A new study found that leaner protein after lifting almost doubled muscle repair compared to higher fat protein meals. Same protein amount. Completely different results.

And your body is no different. If digestion, gut health, or stress are off, you can eat all the right things and still not get the results you deserve.

Some of the biggest shifts I see in my clients don’t come from a new exercise. They come from a new perspective.

Most women I work with aren’t doing too little. They’re doing too much… without the recovery, support, or strategy their body actually needs.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, flared up, or like your body keeps “failing” you — this is your reminder:

✨️ Your body isn’t broken. It’s overloaded. ✨️

And resilience isn’t built by pushing harder. It’s built by working with your system instead of against it. 💛

Save this for the days you need the reminder.

Let’s be honest. When it’s cold, dark, and the farmers market is long gone, the idea of eating more veggies feels like a cruel joke.

You’re running kids around, surviving on leftovers, and maybe thinking: “I’m not trying to be dramatic, but it feels like my body’s unpredictable. If I could just eat better, I know it would help everything.”

Yeah, I hear you.

That’s why we just dropped The Fall & Winter Salad Collection in the Ability Amplified space. Because salads don’t have to be cold or boring. They can be warm, roasted, full of flavor, and actually satisfying.

Inside you'll find recipes like 👇

🥗 Lentil Salad with Maple Roasted Squash
🍅 Sundried Tomato and Feta Potato Salad
🍗 Crunchy Cabbage Salad with Chicken

Want access to 25 plus gut loving, hormone friendly salad recipes that help you feel full, balanced, and energized all winter?

When you’re a backcountry guide and skier, “good enough" PT isn’t good enough.

This ACL client reached out before surgery, weighed the in-network option… and chose out-of-network care because he knew he needed more than cookie-cutter rehab.

13 sessions. 7 months. High-level progressions, constant reassessment, and him putting in the work outside the clinic.

Now? Running. Backcountry creek crossings. Chasing horses. 90% limb symmetry on hop testing. Confidence back.

Quality care = fewer sessions, better outcomes, and a return to the life you actually want to live 💪

Be honest — how many times have you walked past a red light bed and thought, “Maybe this will fix my recovery or my sleep”?

Here's the truth: Red light can work, but only if the wavelength, dose, and strength are right.
If not, you are just paying for a warm red nap.

In the new Breakdown episode, Dr. Lori explains:
👉 Which wavelengths actually reach your mitochondria
👉 What intensity you need for results
👉 The difference between red, near infrared, and infrared light
👉 When it helps and when the data is still catching up

If you have been wondering whether your red light routine is helping or hype, this one is for you!

I don’t chase symptoms. I rebuild systems.

If you’re doing all the right things and your body still keeps flaring up, that’s not failure. That’s missing context.

Pain that comes and goes isn’t random. It’s your gut, hormones, nervous system, and load tolerance all talking at once.

This work isn’t about stretching what’s tight or resting until things calm down again. It’s about building a foundation that can actually handle life.

No band-aids. Just smart strategy that makes your body more resilient over time.
