Gut health plays a crucial role in weight loss ability due to its impact on digestion, metabolism, and the body's overall hormonal balance. A healthy gut microbiome aids in the efficient breakdown and absorption of nutrients, while also influencing appetite-regulating hormones like ghrelin and leptin. Learn how you can improve your gut health easily!
Cortisol, a hormone produced by the adrenal glands in response to stress, can significantly impact fat storage in the body. Elevated cortisol levels are associated with increased appetite and cravings for high-calorie foods, leading to overeating. Additionally, cortisol promotes the storage of fat, particularly in the abdominal area, as it signals the body to conserve energy during perceived threats. Chronic high levels of cortisol can disrupt metabolic processes and hinder fat burning, making it more challenging to lose weight and maintain a healthy body composition. Managing stress and cortisol levels is therefore essential for effective weight management and overall health. Learn how to easily manage cortisol in your life!
Detoxifying the body can aid in fat loss by enhancing metabolic function and improving overall health. When toxins accumulate in the body, they can disrupt hormonal balance, hinder digestion, and promote fat storage, making weight loss more difficult. Learn how to naturally & safely detox from toxins you might be storing!

I struggled being sick and not finding answers…
Struggling with illness and wanting to lose weight while trying to identify what’s wrong can be incredibly overwhelming, especially with the sheer volume of information available. Each health issue brings its own set of symptoms, but finding clarity amid a sea of advice, conflicting opinions, and medical jargon can leave anyone feeling lost and frustrated. It often feels like a never-ending quest for answers, where every new research article or anecdotal story adds another layer of confusion. The emotional toll of feeling unwell, consistently gaining weight; combined with the anxiety of uncertainty, can be isolating, making it difficult to stay hopeful and engaged in the search for healing.
My journey to health was a long one with many battles…
Many people assume that because I am a health and wellness educator and a bikini pro, I have always enjoyed perfect health. However, the reality is quite different. Behind the scenes, I have battled Lyme disease, struggled with weight issues, and faced challenges like adrenal fatigue and depression, all while managing polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and other health complications. My journey has taught me that health is not just about appearances or credentials; it's a complex interplay of physical, mental, and emotional well-being that we all navigate in different ways.
However, it led me to the path of helping others…
My personal health struggles have profoundly shaped my journey into health and wellness advocacy, inspiring me to help others navigate their own challenges.I learned firsthand the importance of understanding the body and the complexities of maintaining well-being. These challenges pushed me to explore various holistic approaches, research evidence-based practices, and connect with experts, ultimately revealing what truly works and what doesn’t. This journey of trial and error not only deepened my empathy for others facing their own health battles and weight loss battles but also empowered me to share knowledge and strategies that can genuinely make a difference in people's lives. Ultimately, my struggles became a catalyst for helping others find their own paths to health and healing.

Your cool, calm, collected helped so much with my sleeping/nightmares that I was finally able to rest. And your GIR/GIT was a great starting point to my long journey of trying to get my health and weight under control. I still have a long ways to go, but I have lost 96lbs and gained a lot of freedom over the last 27 months!
Thank you for being an inspiration to not just me, but to so many people!
You're an amazing person!

Since I started following and engaging with Shari I’ve learned so much that inspires and motivates me daily to make healthy choices and changes…from food, to fitness and supplementing; all building blocks for creating healthy lifestyle habits!
I’ve tried so many things that have benefited me, that I may not have ever considered until I started listening to and following Shari’s lead.
I totally enjoy and love her “matter of fact” approach and how she shows up authentically and unapologetically! She does it with passion, and a loving and genuine heart for people. Her journey helps me and others on our journey and I’m GRATEFUL!! Thank you, Thank you for all you do

As an amateur female bikini bodybuilding competitor and natural athlete, I take my health very seriously. My motto is "health, wellness, and life longevity" at the forefront of everything in my life.
At 44 years old, keeping my hormones happy is of the utmost importance to me, during both competition prep and improvement seasons. I love the feeling of balanced homeostasis that Cycle Sync gives my body. My menstrual cycle is normal, healthy, and predictable even when my bodyfat is low, and my PMS symptoms are oftentimes non existent.
Also, as someone who works long hours in emergency medicine, I find myself handling stressors in a much calmer, more collected way, when I take Rest & Reset daily. It encourages me to have more restful and restorative sleep, and therefore I enjoy a refreshed mindset and cooler response to stressful situations. I like adding a dropperfull to a cup of chamomile tea, it really helps to relax my brain and my body.
I cannot say enough good things about these two Nerdy Nutra supplements, except that I wish I had discovered them sooner!! Highly recommend!!

I am 57, soon to turn 58. Had an accident exactly one year ago this month. It left me in a bad way, not wanting to do anything because everything hurt. Several months later, I realized that my body was locking up, and I literally could barely move my limbs. I have been researching different health plans, supplements, workouts, but I could never seem to get motivated. Then one day I saw you, decided to stalk you, lol which I actually preferred to refer to as, an intense investigation of an individual. Stalking has such a bad connotation, 😜 lol, & started following you, listening to everything you said. Decided to order some of your supplements. Then I took it a step further, changed my entire diet, started working out, quit drinking my beloved wine 🍷, & three months, I have lost 15 pounds. And I am post menopausal. So my body does not react the way it used to there was a time when I was in my 20s and 30s where all I had to do was sneeze and I would lose 5 pounds. You have given me so much encouragement and inspiration that I actually am considering working towards bikini contest body!!! 😘👍🙏 So here’s to seeing how far I can go. I want my 60s to be better than my 50s, 40s, and 30s.
