I'm Ready to Unlock My Best With Less Stress!We're Proud to be a Small Holistic Practice with a Big Heart, Badass Results & Industry-Leading Awards:
I didn't learn this in med school! Everything is so easy-to-follow. At an age where I'm supposed to be watching my body break down, I'm getting stronger, more fit & am more energized during my long work days. I didn't think it was possible to PR my marathon in my 50s & not need Advil afterwards, but I now know how to train & fuel WITH my female body! I recommend, trust & refer out to Badass Breakthrough Academy for any active female who wants optimal health, longevity, fitness or to run strong for life!
Nancy, Physician
Get ready to log into the Academy & think, "Holy crap, she gets me!" You can expect to feel seen, be fully heard in 1:1 sessions & understand how to work with your female body in a life-changing new way. This program is ahead of science, as Louise has lived through what she teaches. Despite my husband deployed, 4 kids & a full-time job, I feel stronger, energized & fit despite the most stressful phase of my life yet!
Heather, Duke Trained Nurse Practitioner
When I joined, I thought it was a long shot, but I was ready to fight to feel like myself again. I didn't want perimenopause to mean I have to lay down & die! In 2 weeks I lost weight, went from 5 hours of terrible sleep to sleeping like a baby & no longer had mood swings. My libido is back, my muscle definition improves weekly & heavy periods eased without an ablation or medication! Everything is so kept practical that, for the first time ever, I'm confident this is sustainable.
Charlotte, Nurse & Mom to 4
In my late 30s I was feeling fat & slow, like I was doing all the right things & it shouldn't be this hard! I lost 17 pounds, learned how to listen to my body & lean out without tedious tracking. Louise is a very response coach, creates resources as you need them & has amazing mindset, nutrition, fat loss & recovery hacks that fit my busy life!
Jen, Former U.S. Olympian
I was really discouraged, feeling like running was taking everything from me rather than fulfilling me. I have immense gratitude for the practical coaching, videos & handouts that explain everything. I no longer have headaches, struggle with psoriasis or lethargy! I understand why I bloat, why I get headaches & know how to keep inflammation low. I feel stronger every day & I actually look forward to running again! It took only weeks in this program to get rid of chronic pain & issues in my hip vs. years of PT that left me frustrated. Months later, I ran a 5K at a pace I hadn't seen in YEARS! When I joined I wanted to find my strength again & figure out how to handle this changing body. This program helped me do that & so much more. I feel like a whole new woman - thank you, thank you!
Cara, Busy Mom & CEO
I went from terrible hot flashes, cravings, considering a hysterectomy & HRT to my strongest yet. I joined this program for myself, but when my husband & kids commented how fit I look & asked to learn the nutrition strategies I was, I realized how much female-specific nutrition & training changes EVERYTHING! Now, we're all getting healthier, more fit & stronger together. The Breaking Through Wellness ripple effect is priceless!
Cathy, Mental Health Counselor
Despite working in the medical field for years & feeling like I knew a lot about my health, eating well, weight loss & strength training, I'm blown away by my experience! I went off HRT within 2 months & threw away most supplements. Acne my Dermatologist couldn't help is gone. I love that I know WHY I can't sleep, how to target specific areas of my body with strength training & have fat loss plans that are simple & easily modifiable without feeling restricted. I'm SO grateful to no longer be slowing down, feeling aches when I run, juggling diets or perimenopause "solutions." As my understanding of my body deepens & is kept simple to fit my busy life, I'm proud to be creating ease in feeling, looking & running my best for life!
Stacey, Health Educator
Thank you for giving me my wife back. I couldn't stand watching her wake up at 4:30, do endless Peloton, diet, feel miserable with bloating & poor sleep. She's finally seeing results that reflect how hard she works to take care of herself & fueling her body to perform. I've lost weight & improved fitness with your tips, too! Game changers! To say this program paid for itself is an understatement. Even our kids are learning more of the right timing & types of food. It's made such a difference!
A Client's Husband :)
I started working with Louise to unlock my ultra running potential by dialing in nutrition & fitness to support energy, gut health & perimenopause. I learned way more than expected. Louise has a style that makes unlocking potential less daunting & more exciting because results are seen & felt in days & weeks, not months. I recover so much faster & accomplished my goal to go from middle to the front of the pack!
