Thriving Through the Changes.
At Double H Health & Wellness, I believe that women's health is not just the absence of disease, but the state of thriving through the changes seen across the hormonal lifespan, including perimenopause and beyond. I strive to empower women achieve this through self-healing and lifestyle changes.
I offer a range of services to support my clients' health goals, including one-on-one and group coaching, workshops, and tailored fasting, nutrition, exercise, and self-care plans. My services are designed to be flexible and customizable, so that my clients can choose the option that best fits their needs.
As an Integrative Health Practitioner (IHP) with a speciality in women's fasting (FLAG, or Fast Like a Girl certification), I provide coaching in fasting, nutrition, fitness, and wellness. I stay up-to-date with the latest research and trends in women's health and wellness, so that I can provide the best possible guidance to my clients.

Contrary to what keto fans sometimes say, carbs are not the enemy. Healthy carbs are those that are high in fiber and phytonutrients. Remember, your NET carbs (total carbs minus fiber) are the important numbers to track!
That said, the nutrition challenge this week is to add a new healthy fall carbohydrate each week: think squashes, gourds, sweet potatoes, and root vegetables (like the one featured in the recipe at right)!
Take a photo and post to the Double H Insta or Facebook platform to show off your cooking skills! I'll be doing the same.

After having a scrumptious pumpkin soup at the Glen Iris Inn after a soul-reviving yoga festival this weekend at Letchworth State Park, I was inspired to find a lower-carb version for Double H! The ingredients in this one are mouth-watering: cream, walnuts, pumpkin puree, and pumpkin pie spice, to name a few.
The overall theme this month is "Get Outdoors"! Take this soup outside in a thermos and pair it with a grilled protein, and you have a filling, hearty meal that will keep you warm and satiated after a hike in the woods.
Here's the recipe below:

Here in Western NY, October often marks the last month on the calendar with consistently pleasant weather. I'm feeling a sense of urgency to GET OUTSIDE for my workouts. The benefits are innumerable for your mental and physical health.
YOUR CHALLENGE: get outdoors and move for at least 20 minutes a day this month. (And see the Oprah podcast linked in my "videos" for the amazing benefits of doing so!)
At the start of each weekend in October, I'll be posting a new outdoor fitness routine to try on the Double H Facebook platform. Try it out, and let it motivate you to move. Run, garden, hike, do yoga, or take your weights outside...and post a pic of your efforts on my socials!

As the holiday season amps up, I challenge you to take a break from alcohol from October 1-31. Cleanse your body of toxins, debloat, and recenter mentally and emotionally. Combine a crisp apple mocktail with a sunset by the fire pit (hint, "get outdoors!"), and I'm betting you won's miss the booze.

This month's fasting challenge is more logistical and mental than physical. You choose the length of fast (which can vary from 16-24 hours daily), but....you can only eat during daylight hours!
Why?
-it improves insulin sensitivity and blood sugar regulation
-it synchronizes appetite with Circadian rhythms (i.e., you'll sleep a heck of a lot better)
-it reduces blood pressure
-your digestive system absorbs nutrients more effectively during the day
As our daylight is quickly shortening, this will require some planning.
Watch this quick 2 minute clip from my mentor Dr. Cabral for extra motivation to eat during daylight hours!
