About Sheila

Can gaining control of your hormones really change your life?

Yes. Better just keeps getting better.

When I focused on better hormone health, I ended up with a better family life, better energy, better health, better body composition, better relationships, better impact, and a better career.

My story

But here is the irony…

Before I taught women to reunite with the innate intelligence of their female body, I spent decades helping patients navigate healthcare, physicians build practices, entrepreneurial businesses grow, and leaders improve systems.

In becoming that high-achieving woman, I became the unhealthiest I’d ever been. Long days, later nights, Hershey’s kisses and red wine to soothe my nervous system. I saw my body simply as a vessel for my brain.

Then everything converged at once: our largest revenue year, a massive fundraising campaign for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, losing a business partner to cancer, overrestricting food, too much cardio and too little rest. All of it collided with (peri)menopause. My body forced the issue, and I experienced an Acute Addisonian Crisis. A complete hormone collapse.

Not one part of standardized medicine was reading my hormones as the signals they were.

So no, I’m not a special case. If it happened to me, with my access and resources, it’s happening quietly every day to women who’ve been told their labs are “normal” and their symptoms are just age.

What changed

What health really means to me as a woman.

After hitting such a serious health low at 47, I became nationally board-certified and functional-medicine trained, and combined it with 30 years in healthcare and fitness. Much of my learning came through the hundreds of women across the country who found me through word-of-mouth referrals.

This is the work I call hormone literacy: the deep intelligence of a woman’s body, finally read and finally listened to.

Now in my mid-50s, I’m in the best shape of my life, mentally, physically and spiritually. Not one thing improved. Everything did.

How I work

Getting you functional answers.

If you’re here, you’ve likely done everything asked of you: followed the advice, taken the prescription, waited for it to work. It’s like patching a leaky pipe with duct tape. The flow might stop for a while, but the structure keeps failing until it breaks.

I work differently. I run the labs the doctor doesn’t, and I read the patterns standardized medicine keeps missing, across six body systems.

01Hormonal
02Immune
03Digestive
04Detoxification
05Energy
06Nervous

Every plan is N-of-1, built from your labs, your history, your strengths and challenges. I’m not here to rescue you from your body. I’m here to teach you to read it, respect it and act on it.

Education

An education in functional medicine.

When my own body collapsed, I went and got the education that could explain it. Since March 2021 I’ve practiced nationwide, in person and by telehealth, with hundreds of high-achieving women who found me through other women’s transformations, not an ad.

My philosophy

Stay close to nature. Stay far from disease.

My practice centers on Test, Don’t Guess, and the idea that our bodies function best in rhythm with nature. Whole food, sunshine and steps are my pharmacy first.

Grounded by faith, not fear.

Our bodies are remarkably intelligent and always working to support us. When we give the body what it needs and remove what it doesn’t, it will most often perform at a high level.

Simplicity reigns supreme.

Fasting, quality whole food, clean water, regular movement, sunshine, good sleep, supplements as needed, and friendship. Many of them are free. This is how we were designed to live: together, in wellness.
