"The programs Louise develops exemplify the impact one can have when they move scientific findings into evidence-based practice, working to meet women's unique health & fitness needs."
-American College of Sports Medicine Practitioner of the Year 2023 Press Release
Hi! I'm Louise - a mom, Army spouse, leading exercise physiologist, scientist & women's integrative health practitioner.
Mechanisms of perimenopause begin in our 30s. This is extra hard on us females who are driven, Type A, always aim to give the world our best, strive to eat well, be strong, look fit, toned & love to run!
ALL aspects of our vibrance are impacted: mental & physical health, when we should eat what, how we train, lift, manage stress/cortisol, lean out & lose fat. Welcome to the right place to take efficient action!
Turning my own breakdowns into breakthroughs led to a 23-year industry-leading career spanning pro sports, research & award-winning innovation in women's functional health, nutrition & running.
I started my private practice so my fellow females can fully understand our changing body's needs & thrive - in a Community of active women choosing to reject dismissal of our symptoms & outdated women's health, nutrition & training advice that works against our changing female 35+ physiology.
Now with world-leading awards (list below) for rewriting 100s of women's health, hormone & fitness outcomes, in my Academy we unlock your potential with female-specific science & simplicity:
- Get 6 months *whole person* support, fully customized plans & efficient 1:1 sessions. This is detailed expert support specific to your goals & body. (advanced labs if needed)
- Know when to eat what to feel your best in weeks, not months: Our fueling framework is proven to build optimal hormones, mitigate symptoms & decline using strategic whole foods, portions & nutrient timing. We work closely to customize this to your body & goals.
- Fully understand your changing body's needs to thrive through peri/menopause: In 12 results-driven modules learn simple ways to address root causes, from stress & cortisol regulation to optimizing blood sugar, sleep, mood, metabolism, gut & mental health. We discuss alcohol hacks, caffeine & keep it practical - all coming together in one low stress sustainable lifestyle routine.
- Learn female-specific methods that help you sculpt your best fit feminine physique without bulk, run your strongest injury-free & build badass health, hormones & resilience for life. Get custom fitness plans, targeted strength training with videos (home or gym), core, pelvic floor, expert injury comeback, mobility, body recomp, lean out & fat loss support.
- Gain a tribe of supportive women committed to aging exceptionally well. In our small private Community, vacations & strategy calls we troubleshoot fast & thrive together as we innovate new simple, low stress ways to maximize longevity in the active lives we love!
If you value aging strong, fit & *vibrantly* well - without endless pills, complicated solutions or fads, we're a great fit! Start with a consult to confirm.
Don't Wait: At this time, my practice is almost full.
Your first 6 months are $2997 with flexible payment options. After, nearly all clients renew all-inclusive access for only $97/month - because no woman should navigate peri/menopause or midlife alone!
I'm Ready to Unlock My Best With Less Stress!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 long work days. I didn't think it was possible to PR my marathon in my 50s & not need Advil after, but I now know how to train & fuel WITH my female body! I recommend & refer out to Badass 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
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
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
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, fat loss & strength training, I'm blown away by my experience! I went off HRT in 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 & 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 life, I'm proud to have ease in feeling, looking & running my best!
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!
