When I went into menopause at 42
And my husband turned 50.
We started to gain weight, like crazy…
We both eventually needed to lose 30 pounds each…
We tried and tried and tried…
We cut our calories…
We joined a gym…
We even hired a personal trainer…
Nothing worked!!!
The most frustrating part of our weight gain…
Was that my husband had been practicing, at the time,
Nutritional Medicine for 25 years…
And I was a nurse with a Health Coach Certificate in Integrative Nutrition.
We know nutrition…
We eventually discovered what our problems were.
It happened one evening when my husband and I were attending a medical conference.
We were in Las Vegas setting in a cocktail lounge having a drink…
An 86 year old physician that my husband had met was sitting with us.
We learned that he had recently ridden his bicycle over the Sierra.
My husband was telling him that he couldn’t ride his bike across town let alone over the Sierra.
We asked him what his secret was…
He said HORMONES.
The light went off in our heads…
We went to see a doctor in Southern California and he tested us.
We were both hormonal messes.
I no longer had any fat burning hormones…
And my husband had low Testosterone.
He claimed that the test had to be wrong because he was Latin…
He had drives that were very healthy.
We both believed that low testosterone caused low sex drive…
But we found out that was just one of the multitude of symptoms.
The number one symptom was a belly.
Other symptoms included droopy eyelids…
And Grump-Old-Man syndrome
And mild episodes of depression…
Also, low testosterone caused a loss of the drive to be social.
Give them a man chair, television and just leave them alone.
Now as for me?
I also gained 30 pounds, could not sleep, suffered from unexplained anxiety…
Battled with mild bouts of depression, loss of sex drive, vaginal issues…
And I found that I was happiest when I had 4 walls, a closed door, and was also left alone.
I got my hormones tested…
And my hormones were not only low…
but were very imbalanced!
Of course, when it comes to hormones, we women are much more complicated.
Men they just need to increase their testosterone and most of the time that will do it!
Women, we discovered, had 3 sets of hormones that went south after menopause.
First, it was our ovarian hormones, estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone.
This causes us to gain weight, not sleep well and lose our drives…
Second, our thyroid hormones take a dump!
When they go, we lose our energy, hair and our skin starts to look crinkly…
Third, our adrenal hormones fatigue.
When the adrenals fatigue, we can’t handle stress any longer.
Any stress makes our life so frustrating.
So, we went back to this doctor in southern California…
And he wanted $20,000 to fix us!
We decided that we can learn how ourselves for a lot less.
We were right!
My husband eventually took the test to become board certified in Anti-Aging Medicine…
And Passed!
We combined our nutritional knowledge with our Anti-Aging knowledge…
We lost the weight and all of the symptoms we were having.
Then we became interested in Functional Medicine.
Functional medicine is optimizing the different systems of the body
That makes the whole run efficiently.
We added organ optimizations protocols and
Wa La!
We felt looked and felt better than we ever had.
We went on to open 7 clinics across Northern California
That specialized in men and women that were aging and gaining weight.
They took off like wildfire!
We opened all 7 clinics in less than 18 months.
We retired early…
But the phone would not quit ringing…
Men and women from all over the country started calling us.
My husband was sitting in his man chair with one mission…
He was going to finish reading War and Peace.
I asked him to take a couple of calls…
And Wa La!
He discovered that we loved helping men and women across the country and other countries.
This is something he couldn’t do if he hadn’t retired his license.
His license only allowed him to practice in one state.
He now accepts a limited number of clients to coach.
And he discovered that the best clients…
Were couples!
Two people that lived in the same household.
He wants to coach in the same way that we developed the protocol.
He says that his clients run into trouble when only one of them do the program.
This is what happens when a couple does the program together.
This is just one of the dozens of couple success stories.
