83. Claudia Petrilli: Functional Health Coach on Nutrition, Lifestyle and HTMA testing in women 35 and over

In this episode I chat with Claudia Petrilli. She is a women's functional health coach that helps women 35+ to improve their cycle, energy and mood with her program "The Hormone Rescue".  From Claudia: "I’ve been on the other side: debilitating PMS, unpredictable periods, mood swings, digestive issues, low libido, headaches, weight gain, and a prolactinoma…all before I turned 30. I know exactly what it’s like to visit multiple doctors, get dismissed, shamed and sent home with medication (I took hormonal birth control for 13 years!) as the only solution. When I sunk into a depression and my period went M-I-A, my gynecologist said “it’s fine – women don’t need to get their period – enjoy it!”. I knew right then and there that I had to advocate for my own health. No one else was going to do it for me and I was tired of spending YEARS searching for answers. I knew something was wrong, so I quickly got another opinion, demanded more testing and was diagnosed with a pituitary tumor. Had I not advocated for myself, I’m not sure how things would’ve turned out. I was able to get the care I needed and that’s when I set out to learn everything I could about women’s health and hormones – because no one should have to struggle like I did. And there’s a much better way. I was so empowered and fired up, that I decided to go back to school to become a health coach. I became well-educated in functional health and women’s hormones, learning how food, lifestyle, nutrient deficiencies, stress, toxicity and gut health affect a woman’s monthly cycle."
