Build a Stronger, Healthier Body Through Personalized Coaching
At The Hormone Upgrade in La Jolla, we believe sustainable health begins with education. That’s why we offer personalized nutrition and exercise coaching tailored to your body, your goals, and your unique hormonal makeup. Whether you’re looking to lose weight, balance hormones, boost energy, or simply feel better in your skin, our approach helps you take control of your health through simple, science-based strategies.
We don’t promote fads or extremes—just practical, proven guidance that empowers you to make better choices and achieve long-term results.
Why Nutrition and Movement Matter for Hormonal Health
Food and movement are foundational pillars in hormone balance, metabolism, gut health, and overall wellness. When either is out of sync, it can lead to:
- Fatigue and brain fog
- Weight gain or stalled fat loss
- Blood sugar imbalances
- Poor sleep and mood swings
- Slowed digestion
- Increased inflammation
- Hormonal disruptions (thyroid, insulin, cortisol, estrogen/testosterone)
We help you understand how your body responds to food, exercise, stress, and sleep—and how to create habits that work with your biology, not against it.
What Our Nutrition & Exercise Coaching Includes
Functional Nutrition Education
Learn how to build balanced meals that regulate blood sugar, reduce inflammation, and support hormonal health. We’ll show you how to use real food to fuel your energy, digestion, and fat metabolism.
Personalized Movement Strategies
Exercise recommendations are tailored to your age, hormones, metabolism, and fitness level. Whether you’re strength training, walking, or managing fatigue, we help you find the right balance.
Hormone-Responsive Planning
We consider your lab results and hormone levels when building your plan. For example, someone with adrenal fatigue or hypothyroidism may need a different approach than someone with insulin resistance or high cortisol.
Sustainable Habits
We focus on long-term lifestyle change, not quick fixes. From mindful eating to daily movement goals, we help you create routines that are effective and realistic.
Gut-Supportive Guidance
Good nutrition isn’t just about calories—it’s about absorption and digestion. Our recommendations support gut health and nutrient uptake to optimize every bite.
Accountability and Support
You’ll receive ongoing education and encouragement to stay consistent and build momentum—even when life gets busy.
