Why Clean Keto-Biotic Changed Everything (And Why “Eat Less, Move More” Is Ruining Your Metabolism)

Let me get straight to it.

If you’ve ever cut calories, upped your workouts, and still gained weight—welcome to the club. I’ve been there, too. I was doing everything right and somehow kept getting fluffier. It made no sense… until I learned the truth:

For women—especially over 35—weight gain is more about hormones than calories.

Seriously. The old “eat less, move more” advice? Outdated. Misguided. Often flat-out harmful—especially as we go through hormonal shifts like perimenopause, menopause, adrenal burnout, or even just the reality of high-stress life chapters.

Let’s talk about the real culprits:

Cortisol and insulin resistance.

Here’s What I Learned (That Finally Made Things Click):

• Cutting calories? It spiked my cortisol. And cortisol tells your body to store fat—especially belly fat.

• Thanks to insulin resistance, my body literally couldn’t burn fat, no matter how “clean” or small my meals were.

• The more I restricted, the more my metabolism slowed… and the more discouraged I became.

It felt like a vicious cycle I couldn’t escape—until I stopped fighting my body and started listening to it.

What Actually Helped Me Heal?

• Cutting out man-made carbs. Goodbye “healthy” snack bars, fake protein powders, and anything that comes in a shiny wrapper.

• Eating real food—like our ancestors did. Think: pasture raised eggs, wild-caught fish, fresh leafy greens, fermented veggies, avocados, and good fats.

• Strategic fasting. I used to fear skipping meals. Now I use intermittent fasting to lower insulin and reset my metabolism—without starving.

• Balancing hormones instead of waging war on my body.

It wasn’t a diet. It was a complete paradigm shift.

Let’s Rethink What Wellness Actually Means

Food isn’t just calories. It’s information.

When you give your body clean, unprocessed, hormone-free, pesticide-free, antibiotic-free food—it knows what to do. It heals. It burns fat naturally. It restores balance.

Is it more expensive to source clean food? Sure. But you know what’s even more expensive? Chronic illness. Diabetes. Thyroid meds. Pain. Exhaustion. Emotional eating.

I’d rather pay the farmer now than the doctor later.

And let’s be real—the Standard American Diet is garbage. It’s not even food. It’s chemical-laced, ultra-processed, addictive, nutrient-dead crap.

Oh—and don’t even get me started on food labels. The “F” in FDA is silent for a reason. (Yes, that is an actual insider joke at the FDA.) Ever heard of GRAS? “Generally Recognized As Safe”? Please. GRAS my ass.

If it’s so “safe,” why are so many of the additives, dyes, and chemicals approved by the FDA banned in nearly every other civilized country?

Because here’s the truth: there are over 20 lobbyists for every representative in D.C.—and none of them are working for your health. Their job is to protect profits, not people. It’s better for business if we stay addicted, inflamed, confused, and unwell.

And food labels? They lie. Words like “natural” and “heart healthy” are slapped on ultra-processed garbage just to trick you into thinking it’s safe. It’s not. It’s marketing spin designed to keep you buying, not thriving.

This is why I say: don’t trust the front of the package. Flip it over. Learn to read ingredients like your life depends on it—because honestly, it does.

You Deserve More Than Diet Culture

Calories in, calories out? That’s BS.

We need to move from restriction to restoration. From starving to strategizing. From shaming ourselves to empowering ourselves.

At my retreats, we don’t count calories—we count nutrients. We teach you how to reset insulin, lower cortisol, and actually feel good in your body again.

It’s not about eating less.

It’s about eating smart.

And it works.

If you’re ready to ditch the diet lies and finally feel good again—from the inside out—I’m here. Let’s do this together.
