About Shay:
Embarking on her health and fitness journey, Shay intimately understands the challenges of restrictive diets and perpetual restarts. Having been trapped in
the cycle of trial and error with various diets, low calories, and intense workout regimens, she empathizes with 35-55 year old career women
struggling to see results of their workouts and weight
loss efforts.

Having struggled with gut and hormone imbalances most of her life, especially in perimenopause, with doctors saying “blood work looks normal” or simply prescribing birth control or antibiotics, nothing
resolved her issues.

By discovering how to eat for her metabolic needs, running functional labs, and addressing her root causes, she healed her relationship with food,
resolved chronic gut and hormone issues, and achieved better workout results in a sustainable way. Now, Shay guides her clients toward their path of
food freedom and lean body composition.Transforming their health from the root to build strength and resilience for years to come.
