Caroline came to me as an avid yogi and runner who was chronically undereating. Despite consistent exercise, she was stuck—struggling with metabolic issues and severe gut irritation triggered by multiple foods. Her body was in survival mode.
The Problem:
- Eating far too few calories for her activity level
- Heavy cardio/yoga focus with minimal strength training
- Metabolic dysfunction causing food sensitivities
- Vagus nerve dysfunction affecting digestion and gut health
- Body holding onto fat due to chronic underfueling
The Neuroscience-Based Solution:
- Increased calories by nearly 1,000 to restore metabolic function
- Shifted training focus from cardio-heavy to progressive strength training
- Identified and addressed vagus nerve issues through targeted interventions:
- Gargling exercises
- Humming protocols
- Heat therapy using Sweet Sweat belt
- Strategic nutrition to support metabolic healing
Results:
- ⬇️ 9 lbs of fat
- ⬇️ 6% body fat
- ⬆️ 3.5 lbs of muscle 💪
- ⬆️ Calories significantly increased
- ⬇️ Cardio reduced
- ⬆️ Weight training prioritized
- Fixed vagus nerve dysfunction = healed gut
- Achieved metabolic flexibility—can now eat whatever she wants without ANY gut issues
Caroline’s gut issues weren’t just about food—they were neurological. By identifying vagus nerve dysfunction and addressing it with simple daily protocols (gargling, humming, heat therapy), we restored her digestive function at the root cause level. Combined with proper fueling and strength training, she didn’t just transform her physique—she completely healed her relationship with food and her body.
