The scariest monster this Halloween isn’t in a haunted house. It’s the 2:30pm zombie during your day, shuffling to the burnt coffee pot for cup number four.

I’ve seen that zombie creep up on clients over the years.

Heck, we’ve all felt that slump!

Now I drink ENERGIZED+ instead. The Power Punch flavor pours blood red (that’s red beet juice, relax), and inside the cauldron:
100mg natural caffeine from green coffee bean extract
Full B vitamin stack to support cellular energy and ATP production
Fatigue Fighter Peptides to help reduce mental fatigue
L Tyrosine and Taurine for alertness and drive
Smooth energy. No jitters. No crash lurking in the shadows.

Are you feelin’ the need to bring more energy that’s natural to your day? DM me or comment ENERGY and I’ll send you the info!

✨ I’m looking for 5 people who are DONE buying a million different skincare products. ✨

If you love skincare and beauty, stop scrolling for a second.

I’m opening up 5 spots for men or women who want to try our NEW Precision Beauty Peptide Stack with me and see what we think!

And honestly… this is what caught my attention.

It’s not just another skincare routine where you keep adding product after product. It’s designed to work from the inside AND the outside using precision peptides + targeted skincare ingredients.

✨ RENEWED — my personal favorite!
A delicious daily peptide drink with hibiscus peptides designed to support collagen production from within.

✨ REVIVED
A peptide serum with 13% active ingredients, designed to support firmer, smoother-looking and more radiant skin.

✨ REPLENISHED
A luxurious polypeptide + plant stem cell emulsion that hydrates while supporting your skin barrier — with 15% active ingredients! 😱

And if you know skincare, you know that’s a LOT of active ingredients.

The idea is simple:

INSIDE → OUTSIDE → BARRIER SUPPORT

I’ve tried A LOT of skincare products over the years, and I’m honestly really intrigued by this combination.

I’m still early in my own journey, so I’m not going to sit here and tell you what 6 months will look like when I haven’t gotten there yet. 😂

But I’m excited to see what happens at 4 weeks… and then 6 months.

And because I want a few people to do this WITH me, I’m opening up 5 spots.

Plus, there’s a 60-day money-back guarantee, so you can try it without feeling like you’re just throwing money at another skincare product that ends up sitting in your cabinet.

If you want to be one of my 5…

👇🏼 Comment BEAUTY or send me a message and I’ll send you all the details.

Let’s do our own little skincare experiment and see what happens. ✨

89 days left in 2026. 🗓️ Here’s why that matters.

This is the hardest stretch of the year to stay in shape. Think about it. We’re running around more, stressed out more, shopping more than we’re training, eating worse, and finding less time for the gym. Then the holidays hit and everything gets a little harder to manage.

Most people just accept it. They figure they’ll put on a few pounds or try to hold steady by New Year’s and deal with it in January.

I’m not doing that this year. And you don’t have to either.

That’s where the Breakthrough Stack from MAKE Wellness comes in. Three products built to work together on the three things that slip first this time of year.

FIT helps you hold on to and build muscle. It’s powered by PeptiStrong PLUS, a plant based peptide backed by clinical research, so the work you put in at the gym counts for more, even when you’re squeezing in shorter sessions. 💪🏻 🏃🏽‍♀️ 🚴🏻

LEAN supports appetite control and healthy metabolism. When the office is full of cookies and every weekend has a party, it helps you feel full longer so you’re not fighting cravings all day.

RESTORED supports deep, quality sleep. 💤 Stress goes up, sleep goes down, and that’s when everything else falls apart. Better recovery at night means better energy, better workouts, and better decisions the next day.

Real ingredients. Real science. Nothing synthetic. 🌱

So here’s my challenge. Instead of gaining a few pounds before the year is out, what if you finished 2026 leaner, stronger, and sleeping better than you started it?

89 days. That’s plenty of time if you start now.

Are you in? DM me STACK and I’ll get you started!

REAL PROGRESS ISN’T ALWAYS A STRAIGHT LINE. 👊❤️

One of my clients recently sent me these messages…

😁 “I’m so happy! … That’s 5.6 pounds!”

Then…

😞 “I am upset! I am up a pound.”

And then…

😅👏 “Not only did I lose back the extra pound, but I lost another 1.8! … That’s 6.2 altogether.”

THIS is what a real journey looks like.

The scale goes down.
Sometimes it goes back up.
And that does NOT mean what you’re doing isn’t working.

The key is not letting one number convince you to quit.

My clients know that I’m big on the whole picture—nutrition, movement, strength training, hydration, sleep, consistency and habits that can actually be maintained.

For this client, MAKE3 is another layer of support we’ve added to that foundation—not a replacement for the work she’s already doing.

And right now?

6.2 pounds down and still going. 👊🔥

I love getting texts like these—not just because of the number on the scale, but because she KEPT GOING when the scale temporarily went the wrong way.

That’s progress. ❤️

Individual results vary. This reflects one client’s reported experience and is not a guarantee of results.

Has the scale ever made you want to quit? Tell me below 👇

Most people will spend years dialing in their training and nutrition, then ignore the largest organ they own.

Your skin is constantly breaking down and rebuilding itself. That's normal. The problem starts when breakdown outpaces renewal.

Here's where most of the market gets it wrong. Standard collagen products supply amino acids, and amino acids are bricks. They provide material. Bioactive peptides are different. They act like instructions, signals that tell your skin's fibroblasts to get to work. Not just building blocks. Biological instructions.

That's the science behind the beauty lineup from MAKE, built on the DermaSignal Matrix and The S.P.A. Method: Signal. Preserve. Amplify.

RENEWED is a drinkable bioactive peptide you can take any time of day.

REVIVED is a lightweight, concentrated serum with a Sacha Inchi peptide, Goji Berry exosome technology, multi-level hyaluronic acid, and niacinamide. It starts the routine.

REPLENISHED is an emulsion with Pea and Teff Seed peptides, multiple plant stem cell technologies, ceramides, squalane, and bakuchiol. It builds on it and supports your skin barrier.

Use REVIVED first, then REPLENISHED, morning and night.

Reasons to believe:
4 weeks: hydration starts fast
65%: more new collagen building
18%: supports elastin and bounce
26%: visible wrinkle improvement

This isn't a jar of hype. It's a system designed around how skin actually communicates and renews.

We don't just dump collagen in. We turn it on. Preserve it. Amplify it.

Real people. Real progress. Real lifestyle changes. 💪

For years, I’ve helped people work toward their health and weight-loss goals through personalized coaching, balanced nutrition, consistent movement, strength training, accountability, and support.

There is no magic pill—and lasting success still requires commitment and consistency.

That’s why I’m excited about the MAKE3 Breakthrough Stack. I see FIT, LEAN, and RESTORED as another supportive layer in the bigger picture—not a replacement for healthy habits, but one more tool we can add to the toolbox.

The foundation will always be:

✨ Nourishing your body
✨ Moving consistently
✨ Building strength
✨ Prioritizing rest and recovery
✨ Staying accountable
✨ Not giving up on yourself

MAKE3 doesn’t replace the work. It can complement the work you’re already doing—and I’m here to help you put all the pieces together in a realistic, sustainable way.

Ready to work toward your own breakthrough? Message me “BREAKTHROUGH” and let’s talk about your goals. 🌊💪

The transformations pictured reflect individual client progress achieved through coaching and lifestyle changes and are not presented as results from MAKE3. Individual results will vary.

Make yourself and your health and happiness a priority! How you show up for yourself helps you show up for others!

Are you giving everyone and everything priority and putting yourself on the backburner? Need a little self-care?

Think about some small shift that says, “I am as important to myself as they are to me and it’s good to be good to myself!”

Need a little help getting that started? Reach out to me and I’ll get you going!

Ok…about me in case you didn’t know, I’m a board certified Health Coach, and I recently partnered with a company that’s changing the way we think about wellness through all-natural bioactive precision peptides. They are not GLP-1’s.

What caught my attention is that these aren’t about masking symptoms or offering a quick fix. They’re designed to support the body’s own cellular communication—helping optimize the way our cells function while working alongside the healthy habits we’re already working on.

It feels like a natural extension of what I’m already doing as a coach and someone working on their own optimal health.

MAKE’s products match the passion I have for helping people live healthier lives.

They’re clean and made in the USA!

Here is a link to check out. And if you’re up for trying them out, I’ll send you my link for a discount.

Let me know what you think! I like the MAKE3 bundle to start with but added the HYDRATED packets too!
