✨ VIP Success Spotlight: Danna ✨
Elite marathoner, mom of 2, business owner — and PERI-menopause problem-solver. 🏃♀️👩👧👧💼
🚦Before VIP: Stuck between peak performance & hormone chaos
World-class runner (3× Olympic Trials qualifier) feeling perimenopause shifts creeping in 😵♀️
Standard fixes (e.g., birth control) didn’t fit her values or performance goals
Wanted a proactive, science-based plan that worked for both racing and real life
💡Why VIP
Sports-savvy dietitian coaching + weekly feedback = clarity without overthinking
Accountability that empowers (not micromanages): food timing, recovery fuel, realistic tweaks
Family-friendly fueling: smoothies & meals her husband and little girls love 🥤👨👩👧👧
Tools to align training + hormones + lifestyle (sleep, stress, cycle-aware fueling)
🏆 Biggest Wins
Recovery leveled up → better sessions, steadier energy, fewer 3 p.m. crashes ⚡
Fueling timing unlocked → pre/ intra/ post consistency = performance confidence
Mindset freedom: “Type A-minus” finds structure with flexibility — room for dark chocolate 🍫😉
Whole-life carryover: simple systems she can sustain during mom life & running seasons
“I wanted to feel the fitness gains — recover better, have a plan, and make choices that help both race day and everyday mom life.”
🔧 What Made the Difference
Small, smart tweaks (the 1% rule): cycle-aware carbs, protein targets, strategic snacks
Habit scans: real craving vs. routine vs. fatigue (“Maybe I don’t need sugar — I need sleep.”)
Coach check-ins: quick adjustments to match training blocks & symptoms
Permission to enjoy (moderation, not morality) → goodbye food stress 👋
🎯 Results You Can Feel
Stronger recoveries, calmer hormones, clearer plan
Competitive marathon (2:47 at Twin Cities — 6th OA!) while feeling in control
A fueling blueprint she can maintain through business, motherhood, and future race builds
🗣️ Danna’s Advice
“Life is short. Put your oxygen mask on first — little daily choices add up.”
“Invest in yourself — time, effort, and yes, sometimes money. You’re worth it.”
“Use seasons: keep what serves you, leave what doesn’t. Make it FUN & family-friendly.”
🔭 What’s Next
Another marathon in 2026 with a post-partum PR target — because “why not swing big?” 🥇
