✨ Comment RESET below and I’ll send you my free Gut & Hormone Reset Guide — the exact framework I used with this client to uncover what was really driving her bloating, breakouts, and mid section weight.

This 54 year old client came to me fed up and frustrated.

She was dealing with:
• Hot flashes
• Skin breakouts
• Low libido
• Mid-section weight gain
• Constipation
• Poor sleep
• Constant cravings

She had tried everything:
Clean skincare. Facials. Exercising more, even Hormone Replacement Therapy.
Her bloodwork came back “normal”… yet her body was clearly telling a different story.

When we ran functional testing, the real picture finally came into focus ⤵️

🔬 What we uncovered:
• H. pylori suppressing stomach acid
• Multiple bacterial overgrowths + a parasite
• Numerous food sensitivities driving inflammation
• Blood sugar dysregulation
• Sluggish thyroid patterns
• Acute stress physiology
• S*x hormones below post-menopausal range

In other words — this wasn’t “just menopause.”
It was a gut–hormone–stress loop that her body couldn’t regulate on its own.

Once we supported her digestion, rebalanced her microbiome, stabilized blood sugar, and gave her body the tools it needed to detox properly — everything changed.

✨ Within 4–8 weeks:
✔️ Bloating resolved
✔️ Belly fat dropped
✔️ Breakouts cleared
✔️ Cravings stopped
✔️ Sleep improved
✔️ Digestion became regular
✔️ HRT was finally able to be dialed in correctly with her providers

No extreme restriction.
No guesswork.
No chasing symptoms.

Just the right data, the right order, and a plan that worked with her physiology — not against it.

If you’ve been told your labs are “normal” but you still don’t feel normal…

💬 Comment RESET and I’ll send you my free Gut & Hormone Reset Guide to show you where to start.

Follow for content that helps women in perimenopause ditch fatigue, bloating, and belly fat— without more meds, cleanses, or restrictive diets.

Most doctors say: “Everything looks normal” or “It’s just aging.”
Most coaches tell you to cut carbs, go dairy/gluten-free, try this cleanse, or train harder.

This page is different — I focus on the root causes keeping perimenopausal women stuck: hormone imbalances, gut issues, mineral deficiencies, poor sleep, and stress.

I use personalized functional lab testing (gut, minerals, hormones) + simple, doable habits that actually fit your life.

No guesswork — just data-driven, root-cause strategies so your energy comes back, bloating calms down, skin clears, sleep and mood improves… and weight loss becomes a natural byproduct of getting healthy.

If you’re tired of feeling “off” despite trying supplements and plans that weren’t built for you, you’re in the right place.

PART 1: Benefits of running a Dutch Stress & Hormone Panel 📊

CORTISOL!
Perimenopause & Menopause isn’t just ‘low estrogen’ – here’s why the DUTCH test changes everything.

Tired, energy dips, sluggish?
This is where the DUTCH hormone test changes the game. 🧪✨

Instead of a quick blood snapshot, DUTCH gives us a full picture of your hormones:
➡️ Cortisol production & pattern
⭐️PLUS!⭐️
➡️How much estrogen, progesterone, testosterone & cortisol you’re making
➡️HOW you’re metabolizing them (hello 2-OH, 4-OH, 16-OH estrogen pathways)
➡️Your stress curve across the day and how that impacts sleep, mood, and hot flashes
➡️Whether your liver + detox pathways are actually clearing hormones or letting them recirculate

When we see your unique cortisol data, we can:
✨ Calm cortisol & nervous system dysregulation
✨ Target sleep, mood, belly fat, and brain fog at the root

🌟Ready to stop guessing with your hormones?

Perimenopause & Menopause isn’t just ‘low estrogen’ – here’s why the DUTCH test changes everything.

Tried everything but still not feeling like yourself?
This is where the DUTCH hormone test changes the game. 🧪✨

When we see your unique hormone map, we can:
✨ Support safer estrogen metabolism
✨ Calm cortisol & nervous system dysregulation
✨ Target sleep, mood, belly fat, and brain fog at the root
✨ Create a plan that works with your HRT (or helps you decide if it’s right for you)

About Appelusa

MY BACKGROUND

For over 20 years I trained athletes and beginners alike as a USA Roller Sports figure coach, spawning regional and national champions. Prior to that I became a bronze medalist at the 2002 World Championships in Germany in the "Show" event. Living in Los Angeles, there isn't a shortage of entertainment opportunities for roller skaters. I have had the great pleasure to skate in, coach or choreograph countless music videos, commercials, TV shows and films. Most notably Chet Faker's "GOLD" music video with more than 200 million hits on YouTube, in HBO's SHARP OBJECTS and behind Katy Perry.

MY PERSONAL HEALING JOURNEY

After suffering a severe whiplash injury in 2015, I struggled to keep coaching and performing. Allopathic medicine wasn't helping. After numerous scans, injections, multiple forms of physical therapy, and even a nerve ablation, I turned to alternative medicine. I became Reiki certified so I could work on myself. I developed a home practice, I changed my thought patterns, and then I started to heal. I became certified in Reiki I and II, as a Biopulsar Biofeedback technician, and in Biofield Tuning. My road to recovery was long but yours doesn't have to be. I am now focused on bringing my awareness and knowledge of the body's electrical system and it's intelligent healing capabilities to all who cross my path with an interest to heal. Energy medicine isn't a quick fix. What drew me to alternative medicine is that conventional medicine tends towards symptom control where as holistic approaches focus on the root of the problem. While there will always be a need for conventional medicine, I believe we are starting to remember how to heal ourselves.
