Jackie’s hormone health story 

Confidence radiates from Jackie as she walks through the hallways of her elementary school. At 57, the principal moves with energy that impresses even her students. Her clothes showcase a lean, strong physique. And when she leads staff meetings, she's focused, clear-headed, and calm.


It’s a far cry from the woman who 12 weeks earlier struggled with brain fog and other symptoms of hormone imbalance, brought on by a partial hysterectomy and menopause.


Despite clean eating and regular workouts, the stubborn weight gain around her midsection wouldn't budge. And her hot flashes had become embarrassing.


"I could be in the middle of a conversation, and then all of a sudden you would think that someone has just poured water all over me," Jackie recalls. "They can be very, very extreme."


Jackie's night sweats were equally disruptive, where she would “wake up at night and... just be drenched,” she says of her menopausal symptoms.


While hormone replacement therapy was an option, Jackie wanted to try a lifestyle approach first. That's when she discovered Belle Vitale, a 12-week comprehensive hormone health program developed nutrition and fitness expert and IIN Certified Hormone Health Coach Autumn Calabrese.

Your comprehensive solution

to address symptoms of hormone imbalance.

The transformation was astounding

Just three months after starting Belle Vitale, Jackie is 15 pounds lighter, lost over 16 inches from her body, and sports the flat stomach she thought was gone forever. Her physical changes were just the beginning. 


“My hot flashes and night sweats were CONSTANT... Now they are GONE! My brain fog has lessened, and I am no longer tired at the end of the day and midweek!” 


Belle Vitale isn't another weight loss program—it's a complete hormone health solution that addresses the unique challenges women face. The program combines innovative workouts, intermittent fasting, stress management techniques, and specialized supplements to create powerful, lasting change.

Eating more, weighing less

For someone who already ate healthfully, Jackie did not expect the Belle Vitale nutrition plan to have such a dramatic effect on her body. Yet it was a cornerstone of her success.


Over three phases, Autumn provides a detailed nutrition plan that focuses on eating the right foods to help address symptoms of hormonal imbalance. With no-guesswork food lists and daily eating schedules, Jackie found it easy to track her macros and eliminate the inflammatory foods that might trigger symptoms.


With a focus on high-quality ingredients, the Belle Vitale recipes—from smash burgers and BLT chicken salad to chocolate brownies and caramel peanut butter cups—felt indulgent. Not only did Jackie’s body respond well to the plan, it left her feeling satisfied and energized.


"The volume of food that we get to eat and still lose weight—it just blows my mind," Jackie explains. "There are so many ways that you can be creative and design different meals that are tasty and very, very filling."


The hormone support supplements and Shakeology have become non-negotiables in Jackie's daily routine.


“The supplements have been truly amazing," she says. "I am so thankful that I can continue taking my supplements. This girl will be here forever.”


After years of trying to lose weight with no progress, Jackie finally shed those stubborn pounds with Belle Vitale’s carb cycling and clean eating principles. "My sugar cravings are gone... I've not had any cravings for breads. I have not had any cravings for anything sweet," she notes with amazement.

Workouts that work with your hormones, not against them

Belle Vitale's three-phase fitness component combines Autumn’s unique Track Pilates system, strength training, and cardio—specifically designed for women dealing with hormone fluctuations.


While some workouts can spike your cortisol levels, the Belle Vitale fitness program is designed not to—and focuses on not adding excessive stress to the body.


"Belle Vitale has shown me that even at the age of 57... that I can still work out every day. I can still get great results, and I don't have to punish my body with a lot of hard HIIT workouts and a ton of cardio."


Autumn’s Track Pilates especially impressed Jackie. “I was looking to... join our local Pilates [studio] and now I don't have to! I can stay at home and keep getting my workouts in here and have great results,” she says.

Less stress & fewer hot flashes

As any woman dealing with hormonal imbalances knows, stress management is essential to help maintain healthy cortisol levels. Belle Vitale's daily breathwork practice with the Breathwrk™ app became a crucial tool in helping reduce Jackie's stress and menopause symptoms.


"I make sure that I practice my breathing techniques sometimes several times when I'm at work, but especially in the mornings... Then I do it at night, and I feel like I have more mental clarity,” shares Jackie. “I have more patience. I can just self-regulate and calm myself before meetings that I know might be a little intense."


Her doctor was shocked. And so was her niece.

Jackie's annual check-up with her primary care doctor confirmed what she already knew—Belle Vitale wasn't just changing how she looked but improving her health from the inside out.


"When I went into her office, she said, 'Oh my gosh, what are you doing?' She said, ‘Your bloodwork looks amazing and I’m very proud of you,’” Jackie says, beaming.


After Jackie explained she was doing Belle Vitale, her doctor said, "Keep doing what you're doing, because it looks good on you."


Even the youngest members of the family were taking notice. During a family pool day, Jackie's niece pointed at her midsection and exclaimed, "Auntie, I see your six pack!"


Life after Belle Vitale

With her 12-week hormone program complete, Jackie has no intention of returning to her old ways. The program has become more than a temporary fix—it's her new normal for helping her manage her post-menopausal changes.


"It is a lifestyle," she emphasizes. "It's not just a program that you're going to do for 12 weeks and say, 'Okay, I'm done.' It's very easily adaptable to your life, something that you can do each and every day."


Now approaching 58, Jackie has surpassed even her own expectations. "My goal weight has always been between... 140 and 145. When I got on the scale this morning, I was at 138," she says.


But the physical transformation pales in comparison to her renewed confidence and energy. "The main thing is... to feel confident and just feel so good about yourself, and feel like you can conquer the world," Jackie says. "I just know there's absolutely nothing that I can't do."


Her message to other women struggling with hormone-related challenges is simple but powerful: "If you are having any type of hormonal issues—and it doesn't matter whether you are 20 years old, 40 years old, or 57 like me—you can do this."
