Hi, I’m Corry Matthews—with two R’s. 💛

And if you immediately thought, “Wait… like Cory Matthews from Boy Meets World?”

You’re officially old enough to understand my menopause jokes, and you’ve found your people. 😂

For new friends, here are 10 fun facts about me:

1️⃣ I was a professional bodybuilder, and it taught me some of the most important things everyone needs to know about lifting and nutrition (oh and resilience)

2️⃣ I’ve been married since 1999, and a mom to two amazing daughters.

3️⃣ I have an MS in Sports Medicine, BA in Kinesiology and a dozen certifications with almost 30 years of experience.

4️⃣ I genuinely love grocery shopping. Finding realistic, healthy foods for my clients and this community is basically one of my hobbies.

5️⃣ I wrote a cookbook because healthy food should never taste like punishment—and yes, cookies absolutely belong in a healthy life. 🍪

6️⃣ I’m postmenopausal, which means I teach this from both professional experience and very real personal experience.

7️⃣ I’ve had to rebuild my body more than once: after perimenopause weight gain and again after spinal fusion surgery.

8️⃣ Yes - my hair really is silver - at 40 I decided I was done dying it and today am always so touched when people tell me they think it’s gorgeous and I’m brave for letting it go natural.

9️⃣ I love coffee, California sunshine, long walks, good food, and women who are done apologizing for wanting more from their lives.

🔟 I’m living my passion.

I’m helping women build strength.

And I’m building a community that believes your health should support your dreams—not stand in the way of them.

Because that’s how you live your best damn life.

Now I’d love to get to know you.

Tell me your name, where you’re from, and one thing you’re ready to feel stronger in during this season of your life. 👇💛 by @corrymatthews

VIP guests also enjoy a healthy dinner and expert panel in the evening.

Everything about an MMVANPC bodybuilding shows…in 45 seconds. 🔱

First-time competitors. Seasoned athletes. Big wins. Backstage moments. A real hardwood stage. And a community that makes show day something special.

And yes, we chose Eye of the Tiger for a reason. 😂 Without fail, at EVERY show, someone chooses it for their posing routine. At this point, it basically belongs here.

Huge thank you to @markrphotography for capturing all of this video footage and giving us these moments to share. 📸🎥

This is MMVANPC.
Real Athletes. Real Stories. Real Community.

🦋 Magic happens when you show up.

I’ve been saying this for years. Sometimes the most important thing you can do is simply get yourself into the room.

I wouldn’t have been at the THRIVE South Bay if I hadn’t listened to @edmylett podcast years ago with Amberly Lago, felt inspired to reach out to both of them, Amberly responded, and then accepted her invitation to attend her @unstoppablelifewomen event in Dallas.

One conversation. One invitation. One decision to show up. And you never know where it might lead.

One thing I’ve learned over the years…The experts aren’t just at the front of the room. They’re IN the room. And sometimes they’re sitting right next to you.

They’re the people you meet while waiting for coffee, standing in line for the bathroom, sitting down for lunch, or having a drink at the bar. They’re the unexpected connections, new friendships, shared stories, and invitations you never saw coming.

Sometimes those conversations are just as powerful as anything you hear from the stage.

That’s why I love about being in rooms filled with curious, passionate people who are willing to share their stories. You walk in thinking you’re there to learn something, and you leave with so much more.

THRIVE South Bay was filled with inspiring speakers, meaningful conversations, beautiful new friendships, and people doing incredible things in the world.

I’m so grateful to Jen Mentesana and Corry Matthews for bringing your vision to life. And to Amberly Lago, Jen Gottlieb, Matt Berthot and everyone who made this such a special experience.

You never know who you’re going to meet, what you’ll learn, or what door might open simply because you decided to show up.

So follow your curiosity. Reach out to someone who inspires you. Say yes to the invitation. Get yourself into the room.

Because sometimes the magic isn’t what happens on stage. It’s what happens because you showed up. ✨🦋 by @corrymatthews

I wish I could say this didn’t hit me hard…
But it did.

There was a time I silently resented women who seemed to have it together — their health, their energy, their bodies, their boundaries.

And the truth is?
I wasn’t mad at them.
I was mad that I hadn’t figured out how to take care of me.

Everything changed the moment I did.

💛 If you need help taking care of yourself — your hormones, your health, your weight — I’m your girl.

I’m here to show up every single day with tips, reminders, and a whole lot of real talk.

Because when women take care of themselves, everything shifts.

✨ Share this with your friend, mom, sister, daughter that needs this reminder today. by @corrymatthews

You don’t need another random workout plan, 1000 supplements or someone shouting at you to “just eat less.” or this is normal.

You need a strategy that works with your hormones — not against them.

Real food.
Real movement.
Real support that gets results without giving up your whole life.

✨ Whether you’re taking meds like ozempic, glps, on HRT, or trying to go all-natural… this is for you.

What I do is all about fitness + nutrition — because that’s the part no one is talking LOUD ENOUGH about. And it’s the part that changes everything.

I’ve walked this road. I’ve coached 100s of women through it too. And now — I’m inviting you in. 💛

Comment “solution” to start feeling better NOW! by @corrymatthews

I still wake up some mornings thinking, “Why the FUCK did I do that? Why did I eat all that? I KNEW how I was going to feel.”

And in the moment? I enjoyed every damn bite.

But the next morning, the guilt is REAL.

And sometimes I have to stop and ask myself…

Corry, what would you say to one of your clients right now?

Because apparently I need to remember to be my own client sometimes. 🤦‍♀️

I’d tell her she didn’t do anything awful. She’s not bad. She’s HUMAN.

She wanted to enjoy the food, the people, the moment. All those little dopamine hits that make life FUN.

And now? We move forward. We get back to the foods and habits that make us feel good. No punishment required.

I think the reason I’m so passionate about helping women with food guilt is because I still feel it myself.

I know how hard it can be to quiet that voice in your head.

And sometimes the person who needs my coaching the most is ME. 💛 by @corrymatthews

Former bodybuilder. Postmenopausal. Rebuilding after spinal fusion.

And I can tell you one thing…I’m NOT rushing this comeback.

I’m eating to fuel my body, training smarter, prioritizing protein + giving myself permission to recover.

Because I’m not trying to get my old body back. I’m building the body I want for the next 50 years.

If you’re rebuilding, starting over, or just trying to figure out WTF your body needs after 40…

FOLLOW along. We’re getting stronger together. by @corrymatthews
