Real, whole foods with a focus on protein, healthy fats, and blood sugar balance.

At the start of the program, you’ll be given a clear list of approved foods to follow. This does mean temporarily removing certain food groups so your body can reset and heal. This phase is structured and intentional, not about restriction or deprivation.

You should expect to adjust how you grocery shop and prepare meals in the week leading up to the program. Toward the end, you’ll learn how to thoughtfully reintroduce foods and identify what works best for your body long-term.

The Prep Kit that you have access to right away is ~2 hours of video modules to watch.

After that, every week’s modules are about 1 hour of videos. You can listen to them on a drive or a walk.

And then you will need some time to throw together Lean Energy plates. The time commitment for that just depends on what you like to eat. You can totally buy a rotisserie chicken and raw veggies and be good to go OR you can take the time to make something from scratch. There are options!

No. Lean Energy is not built around intense workouts or long hours in the gym.

Movement is encouraged, especially walking and light resistance, but fat loss and metabolic healing in this program come primarily from how you fuel, support, and regulate your body. Not from burning more calories or pushing harder.

No. Labs are not required to participate in Lean Energy.

If you do choose to run labs, you’ll learn how to interpret them through the Lean Energy framework and use that information to personalize your approach. If you don’t, the program is still fully effective and designed to work without them.

Because they are optional, you will pay wholesale pricing directly to the lab company.

The current wholesale pricing for bloodwork is around $60 and for DUTCH Adrenals is around $190. I highly recommend the bloodwork to supplement the program but do not think DUTCH Adrenals is needed unless you’re really wanting to see cortisol levels.

I do not charge anything for this service of being able to order functional labs!

Absolutely. Many women in Lean Energy are working moms, traveling for work, or juggling full schedules.

The program is designed to work in real life. You’ll be given grocery lists, simple meal ideas, travel guidance, and practical strategies for busy days. That said, Lean Energy does require intention and participation. You don’t need perfection, but you do need a willingness to plan ahead and make supportive choices most of the time.

No worries. You’ll have access to the full course and resources for 4 months after the program ends, so there’s plenty of time to catch up or revisit anything you missed.

Lean Energy is designed to be followed in sequence, so staying relatively on track will give you the best experience. That said, life happens, and the material will be there when you need it.

If you want continued support after the cohort ends, including a place to ask questions or retest labs, you’ll have the option to join Club Lean Energy, a low-cost way to stay connected and maintain momentum.

Yes. Lean Energy can be safely adapted for pregnancy and breastfeeding, with a different focus than weight loss.

In this stage of life, the goal is nourishment, recovery, and gentle metabolic and hormone support. You’ll follow modified steps each week, with no fasting protocols and an emphasis on fueling your body well.

Many women notice improvements in digestion, energy, and cravings along with an average weight loss of 11 pounds over the 6 weeks.

Yes. Lean Energy can be effective for postmenopausal women, but the experience may look different.

Hormonal shifts, long-term stress, and years of dieting can mean your body needs more support and a slower, gentler approach. Inside the program, the focus is on nourishment, blood sugar stability, inflammation reduction, and metabolic support rather than aggressive fat loss.

Some postmenopausal women see significant fat loss, while others notice improvements in energy, digestion, sleep, and body composition first. Both are signs the system is healing.

I give you everything you need to know in the week 6 materials to either continue losing weight or maintain progress going forward. If you need more support then or anytime in the future, you can join my alumni network.

Club Lean Energy is an optional, low-cost continuation ($15/month) for women who want ongoing support after the Lean Energy cohort ends.

Inside Club Lean Energy, you’ll have a place to ask questions, stay connected to the community, and continue building on what you learned during the program. This may include guidance around maintenance, retesting labs, and staying consistent without starting over.

Joining Club Lean Energy is completely optional and designed for women who want light, ongoing support as they apply Lean Energy principles in everyday life.

Enrollment for Lean Energy is open ahead of each cohort start date.

When you enroll, you’ll receive instant access to the Lean Energy Prep Kit. This is designed to help you understand how the program works, how to approach the upcoming weeks, and how to set yourself up for success before the cohort officially begins.

The next full Lean Energy cohort begins October 12th. That’s when the guided weekly structure, lessons, and community experience start.

We recommend enrolling early so you have time to review the Prep Kit, understand what’s coming, and feel mentally and physically prepared to begin.

The investment for Lean Energy is $774.

You can save 10% by paying in full, or choose a payment plan if that feels more supportive right now. Both options give you full access to the program, materials, and support.

This is a one-time investment in learning how to support your metabolism, energy, and hormone health in a way that lasts well beyond the six weeks.

Lean Energy isn’t just about the scale. It’s about reducing inflammation, increasing energy, supporting hormone balance, and helping you feel better in your body.

Many women who join are looking to lose the last 5–15 pounds, reduce bloating, clear brain fog, improve sleep, or reset their metabolism after years of stress or dieting.

Lean Energy is designed around animal-based protein sources because they provide the most straightforward approach to supporting metabolic health, blood sugar balance, and preserving muscle while losing weight.

For pescatarians, the program is generally easy to follow, as fish and seafood fit well within the nutrition guidelines.

For vegetarians, the program may require more personalization. During the initial phases, we remove plant-based protein to support gut healing, reduce inflammation, and improve blood sugar regulation. Because a vegetarian needs protein, they would not be able to follow the program as written. Aspects of the program could still improve energy and help with weight loss, but I don't have data on vegetarians yet. If you're vegetarian and interested in joining, we're happy to help you adapt the program.
