60 Day Hormone Harmony Makeover

Do you experience:

• Raging cravings for carbs/sweets?
• The 2 pm afternoon slump or feeling tapped out?
• Resistant weight gain, especially belly fat aka muffin top, that won’t budge no matter what you do?
• Tired but wired feeling like you haven’t slept in years?
• Recurring headaches, tension in face, jaw, shoulders, back or chest?
• Bloating, fluid retention, GERD, acid reflux and other gastrointestinal distress?
• Thinning hair or the horror of hair loss?
• Saggy skin that has lost its elasticity, healthy tone?
• Memory/focus gridlock with the inability to remember things?
• Overwhelm to the point where your exercise schedule or “me” time is non existent?
• Feeling not enough at work…as a Mom…as a wife and not having energy to be with your kids/grandkids?

…The good news is that you’ve come to the right place as it ALL comes down to your hormones. And you can reset your hormones naturally with your fork and lifestyle changes to enjoy that good hair day feeling every day, no matter what your age!

Did you know that chronic stress is literally like pouring gasoline on an already roaring hormonal fire? It raises cortisol levels, taxes the adrenals and zaps you of energy, calm demeanor and a healthy libido. You see your hormones exist in this exquisite yet fragile balance to each other, like a finely tuned symphony orchestra. Insulin is the #1 metabolic hormone and all blood sugar and weight management begins with this hormone. But cortisol (main stress hormone) is the alpha hormone that controls all the other hormones and insulin is its tango partner. So if you’re stressed, your cortisol spikes will trigger an insulin (fat storage hormone) response so you’re literally signaling the body to deposit more fat around the belly! Do you now get the picture of why hormones matter?

Many of you have been told by your doctor that “you’re just hormonal but your tests say you’re fine”. Or that you’re crazy, lazy (just eat less, exercise more) which is totally antiquated advice that does not work. Or perhaps you’ve been offered birth control or an antidepressant but this is akin to putting duct tape on your check engine light so you don’t see the warning light but trouble is still brewing inside. You’ve been there, done that and you’re tired of giving up your power to a medical professional. And feeling like your body has suddenly betrayed you.

The truth is that none of this is your fault. This bears repeating. It’s not YOU. It’s not some inherent design flaw in your body where things go awry after 40 but a hormonal imbalance brought on by massive unremitting stress, processed foods, alcohol, sugar and our fast-food lives where you’re hurtling from task to task at 95 mph. But you can achieve hormonal harmony at ANY age. It won’t happen overnight. You have to coax and nudge the body for hormonal balance that will stick versus adopting a military approach where you’re popping pills and waging war on your hormones. And you have to take these matters into your own hands.

Now imagine for a moment what hormonal harmony can mean for you:

• No more sugar withdrawals and experiencing blood sugar crashes in the pm
• No more going on yo-yo diets, or downing chalky shakes that leave you feeling hungry
• No more insomnia, headaches/migraines, aches/pains
• No more sugar withdrawals and you can walk past the mid-morning mocha treats without blinking an eye
• No more worrying about your elevated risk of diseases like hormonal cancers or diabetes because you’ve invested in your health and have seen the payoff
• No more suffering with low self-esteem/self-worth

Who Am I & Why Should You Listen

So, what makes me qualified to be your hormone whisperer and finding a better way with sugar, stress and hormones? Before I became a Holistic Health coach, I wasn’t very healthy myself. I have an MBA and was in the corporate world, working in the high stress environment of a multimedia in-house advertising agency with persnickety clients and tight deadlines. I was a sugar and caffeine junkie, like many of you. Every day at 3:00 pm, it was almost like a religious ritual, I’d crave my Caramel frapuccino. I didn’t know back then that the 16 oz cup packed a whopping 44 grams of sugar, yet I felt entitled to practically hooking up this IV of refined sugar to my body.

The sugar cravings were really a minor piece of my health challenges, but I also had a major health crisis. A brief brush with the Big C—cervical cancer (I now consider it a gift that propelled me down this path of hormone harmony) and that made me more aware of how food can be our medicine and how our thoughts (I was a raging self-critic and the negative chatter created a bad neighborhood ) and stress levels can create a healthy or diseased body. I was hurtling through life at 95 mph, surviving on frozen monstrosities devoid of any real nutrition aka Lean Cuisine. I never cooked and had no idea that this processed diet high in refined carbs was practically inviting those rogue cancer cells to make a snuggly home in my body. Did you know that sugar is the preferred fuel for cancer cells? And the Standard American Diet that many of you are consuming (SAD) coupled with egregious stress levels is tantamount to throwing gasoline to fire.

Fast forward to 2011 when I healed myself not only from cravings but from cervical cancer that I created the 60-Day Hormone Harmony Makeover program to teach women how to balance their blood sugar and hormones so you can crush cravings, ignite your energy, rock your skinny jeans (in your 40s and beyond) and live your dreams without diets, deprivation or drugs. I knew I was onto something when my private coaching clients were able to achieve hormone harmony in as little as three sessions with a side of unstoppable energy, fat loss & younger looking skin to boot!

As a Board Certified Holistic Health Coach, I’ve been privileged to learn from luminaries in the fields of holistic/functional medicine including Drs. Andrew Weil, Mark Hyman, and Deepak Chopra to name a few. I’ve also been trained by Harvard physician and NYT best-selling author of The Hormone Cure, Dr. Sara Gottfried, on the Gottfried Protocol to balance hormones.

I’m the founder of Zen-triton, a thriving body-mind-spirit health coaching practice that has helped many of my clients reset their hormones and shed their old skins in the way of limiting beliefs/programming to rebirth grander, leaner, more energized version of themselves.

I’ve developed an evidence based program, including bite-sized diet/lifestyle changes along with proven herbs, supplements and coaching–sprinkled with mastering your psychology tools and accountability–to ensure your sustainable success. And I’m excited to premier this 60-Day Hormone Harmony Makeover program where you’ll get the blueprint to discover which foods, supplements, herbs and lifestyle practices will allow you to be back in control to balance your hormones to balance your life.

Zen-trition’s 60-Day Hormone Makeover is designed to remove the foods and food categories that are muddying the waters. We’re taking out the foods/toxins that slow you down, make you sick, clog your sinuses, cause gas and bloating, make you retain unnecessary weight and leave you feeling tired and foggy. Hormonal havoc!

Sometimes the things we’re removing are foods and sometimes they’re more than foods. . . behaviors or beliefs, patterns and habits, environmental toxins, all the things that are holding us back. Our intent here is hormonal balance and understanding how to achieve that for yourself. You’ll be getting into the nitty gritty while nurturing yourselves with delicious foods and grounding practices. Oh and in case you’re concerned about taking away all your favorite foods, rest assured there’s no deprivation or denial in this program.

“I was skeptical of this program as I thought it would ask me to remove many of the foods I enjoyed with gusto, and boy, was I wrong! Rupina really listened to my challenges and gave me so many yummy, healthier options of old favorites that I didn’t feel deprived in any way. I not only lost 8 pounds in just one month, but my energy levels are through the roof and my face is so clear and baby soft to the touch.”

As my favorite author Elizabeth Gilbert said, “A life has been entrusted to you. That life is your own. Please treat it with tenderness.” We sometimes forget this and say awful things about ourselves— about how pathetic, how lazy, how stupid, how fat, how ugly, what a failure, what an idiot, what a loser, what a coward, and why can’t you get it together?

Imagine this: Imagine adopting an animal from the shelter, and then treating it as dreadfully as you sometimes treat yourself. Imagine calling that poor animal names. Imagine forcing it to stay in dangerous, toxic, or degrading situations. Imagine not taking it outside for walks in the fresh air and sunshine. Denying it sleep or healthy exercise. Feeding it toxic substances (like sugar) that cause hormonal havoc. Forgiving it for nothing. Denying it grace and love. You would never do this to another life form. And yet you do it to yourself.

It’s time to notice your inner dialogue and make a commitment to love up your self-talk because guilt and shame are a war we wage on ourselves. It’s time to step out of the old story and habits that are keeping you stuck in this vicious cycle of stress, cravings, weight gain, guilt, loathing, rinse and repeat.

It’s time to unravel the truth about howstress, sugar, alcohol affects your hormones and the aging process

It’s time to crack the cortisol code to design a juicier life without sugar and awaken your “feel good” from the inside out

It’s time to befriend your hormones and create a safe home for yourself

It’s time to say no more…

No more suffering with out of whack hormones

No more sugar withdrawals

No more sitting in the mystery of your body ravaged with cravings feeling like it’s betrayed you

“I always thought I ate healthy, but Rupina uncovered so many “hidden” sources of sugar that were fueling my cravings and keeping me stuck. I could never have figured this out on my own and her guidance is so simple and effective that I’m kicking myself for toughing it out solo, and not having sought out her expert support earlier as it would have saved me so much frustration and suffering. My advice to any of you on the fence is to just do it. She is worth every penny of your investment and time.”

Maya Umrigar

“Rupina taught me how to deconstruct my cravings so that I could make healthier choices and now the foods I love actually love me back! What a concept! Her advice was spot-on, doable and not over-whelming. I’m so grateful for my new teeny tiny waistline, consistent energy levels and stable moods, hallelujah! I highly recommend this program for anyone who is struggling with sugar addiction/food cravings that pack on the pounds year after year. It’s a game changer and worth every penny.”

Ramona Thayer

“My emotional eating and cravings were ruling my life and I never thought I could break free from this vicious cycle till I purchased Rupina’s program. She showed me how to balance my hormones and differentiate between physical vs. emotional hunger. I never knew that hormones were the root icause of cravings and so many health issues. Plus her green smoothie and other recipes are so delicious, satiating and easy to whip up that I was able to break up my love affair with refined sugar and never look back. I lost 2 dress sizes, have tons of natural energy and feel unstoppable! This is truly the best investment I have made for myself! Thank you, thank you, thank you!”

Anita Kanga

“This program exceeded my expectations – I actually understand why I eat what I eat– and my transformation was joyful unlike other weight loss programs that are filled with pain and deprivation. With Rupina’s guidance, I was able to finally break my take-out habit and she inspired me to get back into the kitchen and create yummy meals for my family in under 20 minutes. Not only did I lose 12 pounds effortlessly, I also saved big by eating in and slept well with a clear conscience knowing that I was creating a legacy of good health for my family.”

Susan Shaheen

“I was walking the straight and narrow with my diet and had even lost my desire for sweets but my chronic stress was the secret ingredient to my stubborn weight gain! Just one month into working with Rupina, I learnt some powerful techniques to dissolve the stress and soon as I lost the stress, I lost the excess weight. My only regret is struggling on my own for so many years and not getting help sooner.”
