Ep. 240 Hashimoto’s, Perimenopause, and Finding What Works with Abbe Kierstein

Today we have on a special guest, Abbe Kierstein!

Now if you’ve ever thought, ‘I’m active, I eat well, and I’m still not seeing it, especially as I’m getting older’ then this episode is going to be for you.

Abbe is a client of ours at Vital Spark, a perimenopausal entrepreneur hairstylist who spends about 10 hours a day on her feet, came in already lifting weights, eating clean, eating 1400-1500 calories per day, taking thyroid meds and HRT, and yet she felt STUCK in her body.

That was about 10 months ago, and today she is a different person. So I’m very excited to pick Abbe’s brain on what does it take to see sustainable changes in your 50’s all while navigating a demanding schedule.

In this episode, we discuss the challenges Abbe faced before joining Vital Spark, how she adapted to habit changes we implemented, how she navigated eating out, and so much more! We even answer some of your questions you submitted on Instagram!
