After a decade-long career as a commodity broker in oil and gas, a world defined by high pressure, performance, and relentless deadlines. Chelsea hit a wall that forced her to completely re-evaluate her life.

From the outside, it looked like I had it all together. A fast-paced career, endless drive, and a to-do list that never ended, and somehow, I always managed to check every box.

​

But beneath the surface, my body was sending alarms I did not know how to listen to. Chronic pain. Anxiety attacks. Constipation that would last for a week. A face that went numb from Bell’s Palsy. And an exhaustion that no amount of coffee or weekend rest could fix.

You’re doing everything “right.” You eat healthy, work out, take supplements, and manage stress the best you can. And yet, you still feel off.

​

You’re tired but wired. Bloated, no matter what you eat. Your mood swings for no reason. You crave salt and caffeine, and can’t seem to relax even when you try.

If that sounds familiar, it might not be just stress. Your body might be stuck in survival mode.

You eat clean. You read every label. You’ve tried cutting out gluten, dairy, sugar, maybe even coffee. You meal prep, drink green juice, and take probiotics because everyone says they’re good for your gut.

So why are you still bloated, tired, and constipated?

If you’ve ever thought to yourself, “Why do I always feel off in multiple areas of my health?” You’re not alone.

Maybe you’ve struggled with constipation for years. Or maybe anxiety has crept in, seemingly out of nowhere. Or perhaps no matter how much you sleep, you wake up dragging, feeling like caffeine is the only way to function.

You wake up early to journal and meditate. Prep a protein-rich breakfast. Slam a green powder. Listen to a podcast while squeezing in a strength session.

Then it’s emails, client meetings, school drop-offs, deadlines, after-school activities, a quick walk, magnesium before bed, and if you're lucky, you get some sleep.

It’s the millennial health paradox: Why do we feel older than we are? We were told 30 is the new 20, but for many millennial women, it feels like 40 is the new 65.

We’re “too young” to feel this tired.

Too healthy-looking to be taken seriously.

Too busy to slow down, yet too drained to keep going.

Many women striving for peak performance overlook a critical factor: gut health. The gut influences everything from energy levels and mental clarity to immune function and emotional balance.
