Hi, I'm Sabra β I Help Women Finally Understand Their Bodies.
Functional Health Coach | Certified Functional Hormone Specialist | Macro & Functional Nutrition Expert
Let me tell you something straight. If you've been eating "perfectly" and your body still won't cooperate, you're not failing. You've been playing by rules written for someone else's biology. That's like trying to drive a hybrid car using diesel fuel. It simply won't work. No matter how hard you push the pedal.
I see this constantly as a **women's health nutritionist**.Β
Women walk into my virtual office exhausted, defeated, and convinced something inside them has permanently malfunctioned. They've tried every diet app. They've hired personal trainers. They've cut calories until their hunger hormones screamed bloody murder. And still, the scale barely budges. Worse, their energy plummets. Their skin rebels. Their sleep becomes distant memory.
Here's the truth nobody in the wellness industry wants to admit. Most conventional advice actively harms female metabolism. Calorie restriction triggers cortisol release. Cortisol tells your body to hoard fat, especially around the midsection. You're not losing weight because you're lazy. You're losing weight because your stress hormones are running a marathon while your sex hormones are napping.
As a **functional hormone specialist**, I don't chase symptoms. I hunt causes. That gut bloating after meals? It's not random. That insomnia the week before your period? It follows a pattern. That stubborn belly fat that appeared during perimenopause? There's a biochemical reason. I find those reasons. Then we build a strategy that works with your biology, not against it.
Welcome to the Strong Method.
MY STORY
I've Been Where You Are.
"I was doing everything 'right' β and my body was falling apart."Β
Growing up, I was an athlete. I was active, competitive, and felt strong in my body. But after getting married, my approach to health shifted β and not in the right direction. I started running more and eating less, chasing the leanest version of myself I could find. What I didn't know then was the damage I was doing.
The relentless calorie restriction and over-exercising caused me to lose my menstrual cycle entirely. Then came the heartbreak I wouldn't wish on anyone β infertility and miscarriage. My body was sending me a clear signal that it was not okay, and I wasn't listening.
By the grace of God, I now have four beautiful boys. But even after becoming a mom, the struggle didn't stop. Postpartum weight loss didn't come easily every time. Each pregnancy was different, and with some, I found myself stuck β exhausted, frustrated, and confused about why my body wasn't responding the way I expected.
Work with Sabra"It wasn't until I started truly fueling my body and tracking my macros that everything changed."
When I stopped under-eating and started learning how to nourish myself strategically β matching my nutrition to my hormones, my training, and my body's real needs β the weight released, my energy returned, and I finally felt like myself again. Not because I found the perfect diet. Because I stopped fighting my body and started working with it.
That transformation became my calling. I went back to school, earned my certifications, and built the Strong Method β a root-cause approach to fat loss and hormonal health that I wish I had when I was running myself into the ground. Now I help women just like you find the same breakthrough, without the years of trial, error, and heartbreak. I absolutely love this work and the life changing transformations I get to take women through!Β
In my free time you can find me with my husband and four boys fishing, traveling, working out or on the fields for kids sports!Β
