My Story After spending many years in a successful corporate finance career, my life took an unexpected turn during perimenopause. Like many women, I faced a whirlwind of symptoms including periods that resembled a murder scene. My doctor repeatedly told me I was "fine" - but I didn't feel fine at all. In fact, I honestly thought that my life as I knew it was over. As an effort to relieve my symptoms I underwent a hysterectomy, and navigated hormone replacement therapy (HRT). These challenges made me realize how little support there is for women during this stage of life. That’s when I decided I wanted to make a change and I took every spare moment I had to study to become a certified health coach with a speciality in Perimenopause and menopause. Now, I’m dedicated to helping other women not just survive, but truly thrive during perimenopause and menopause, guiding them toward greater well-being and control over their health. helping you get the most from your life My Mission My mission as a certified Health Coach is to empower professional women navigating perimenopause and menopause to reclaim their health, confidence, and vitality.

Finally! A Simple Solution that perimenopausal women are using to overcome the symptoms of menopause MID-SECTION WEIGHT GAIN, SHORT TEMPER, HOT FLASHES, BRAIN FOG Begin Your Healing Journey Today By leveraging the exact supplements that transformed my life after almost a decade of struggling with various menopause symptoms. My transformation happened when I balanced my hormones WITHOUT relying on synthetic hormones, prescription drugs/shots, or crazy diet plans. Hi! I'm Shannon. It all started after my second pregnancy. No matter what I did I couldn't release the "baby fat" that I had gained over the last nine months. It wasn't always like this for me. I grew up where health food was all I knew (my parents are hippies), I was always healthy, physically fit, and an athlete. When I gave birth to my first child, I walked out of the hospital in skinny jeans. I had the metabolism of a hummingbird. I was eventually able to take off the pregnancy weight, but my metabolism hummingbird flew away and I had to be more mindful of what I ate and more intentional on my exercise. Years later my menstrual cycle went haywire and my periods resembled a murder scene and lasted an average of 18 days. My doctor did what she thought was the best solution and I got a hysterectomy at the age of 44. Five years after my hysterectomy I went into severe menopause and I had crazy symptoms: Hot flashes - nothing better than suddenly getting flushed and sweaty during a business meeting.... Short tempered - I snapped at my husband for doing the laundry - who honestly does that? Night sweats - I had to sleep on a towel that I subsequently had to change at least once during the night Weight gain - all in my belly/midsection and I went from a size 6 to a size 16 in what felt like overnight Depression - even my favorite activities left me feeling meh. I struggled to find joy. Sleep - not feeling rested after sleep; my snooze bar was my best friend Brain Fog - the inability to concentrate especially in the afternoons Avoidance - I found myself "numbing" out on my phone to avoid life. I am pretty proud of my virtual farm though🤣 My doctor did tests, told me I was "perfectly healthy" and that it was just a "stage of life". That message was deflating. I had no idea how to deal with the fact that I didn't feel like myself. I hit rock bottom when my youngest daughter went to college across the country. While I put on a façade that everything was "fine", I knew deep inside that I was struggling and that I needed to do something to turn my life around because I have a whole lot of it left and I refuse to waste it feeling sorry for myself. So I did some research and I found the common factor - Cortisol. This was a major breakthrough for me: High cortisol levels are common in corporate jobs due to constant pressure, tight deadlines, and the fast-paced environment, leading to chronic stress and burnout. Yep. Totally Me. Hi!! My name is Shannon Wade AKA That_Menopause_Mentor and I am so happy that you have landed here. If you're reading this, you probably connected with my story, resonated with my menopause symptoms and are curious about what I did to regain control of my body (and my life). You are likely curious about the supplements that helped me get my Cortisol and hormones in check that allowed me to not only control my symptoms, but feel better than ever. If you want to skip to that right now - I get ya - click HERE The Secret Sauce The solution that took me from stressed and struggling to healthy and hopeful STRESS : Also known as the fight or flight response, It is a natural stress reaction designed to help us survive threatening situations, whether real or perceived. Think of it like a smoke detector; it doesn't distinguish between burning toast and a house fire—it just goes off. HORMONE: Cortisol is our stress hormone that triggers this response and while it comes in handy for all those times you are being chased by a bear, it is also elevated by everyday stressors in our lives. This can cause "chronic stress" which is characterized by the following symptoms: Weight Gain - particularly around the abdomen and face ("moon face") High Blood Pressure - persistent elevated high blood pressure Muscle Weakness - feeling weak or experiencing muscle fatigue Mood Changes - increased anxiety, irritability or depression (or all of them!) Sleep Disturbances - difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep; could lead to insomnia Fatigue - persistent tiredness or feeling run down Skin Changes - thin, fragile skin, slow wound healing, easy bruising Acne - increased frequency of acne breakouts Cognitive Impairment - difficulty with concentration, memory, and overall cognitive functions Weakened Immune System - increased susceptibility to infections and illnesses Digestive Issues - symptoms such as stomach pain, bloating and changes in bowel habits Osteoporosis - decreased bone density leading to increased fracture risk Menstrual Changes - irregular or absent periods (or heavy periods) Increased Thirst and Urination - excessive thirst and the urgent need to empty your bladder Libido Changes - decreased interest in sex or changes in sexual function THIS IS ONE CRAZY POWERFUL HORMONE To top it off, when your body is in chronic stress - it prioritizes survival (need to get away from that bear) and diverts energy away from production of other essential hormones. As a result, levels of serotonin, dopamine, and GABA—the neurotransmitters responsible for happiness, motivation, and calmness—plummet. I tried eating well, working out and even some therapy to work through my stress, but these weren't moving the needle because they never addressed my issues at the root cause– the hormonal imbalance that cortisol was creating. Once I addressed the Cortisol, my symptoms slowly started to go away. And it all started with these products: Ignite, Mood+, GBX Fit, and Happy Juice. Mood+: A blend of four ayurvedic herbs to lower cortisol and build stress resilience—Ashwagandha, Kanna, Rafuma, and Magnolia Bark. Happy Juice: A probiotic drink to replenish serotonin, dopamine, and GABA levels, restoring my body's natural balance and boosting mood. Ignite: It's not for everyone, but let's admit it, as we get older our libido changes - it isn't your fault! It is a hormone imbalance. This blend of adaptogenic herbs can help restore your levels to normal... and helps to bring the spark back 🔥 GBXFIT: QUADbiotic gut-brain axis product for weight loss. Supports healthy inflammation response (de-bloat), Prebiotic (less cravings), Phytobiotic (stressresilience), and postbiotics for the stubborn belly fat. Taking these supplements have changed my life. Within a week of taking them, my energy levels improved (bye bye brain fog). I used to drink almost a pot of coffee to keep me going, this was hurting my adrenals. Happy Juice is all I need in the morning now and I don't even crave coffee - which is crazy! My sleep has improved - no more night sweats and I am able to actually bundle up in the covers and I wake up refreshed after a full night's sleep and I have broken my relationship with my snooze bar. My productivity is crazy good and I get a lot more done in the day without feeling overwhelmed or anxious. The relationship with my spouse has life and vitality. My menobelly is shrinking and I am feeling confident in my clothes again. If YOU want a renewed confidence in yourself and regain control of your body to embrace change without the stress or burnout that life tends to throw our way, thenyou need to try this out...
