You’re the one to beat at work. You know what you’re doing, and you’ve got the accolades to show for it.

But along the way, your health has taken a beating- and now it’s impacting your ability to get sh$t done. Your CAREER is suffering. Your RELATIONSHIPS are suffering. Your HAPPINESS is suffering. Even your rock hard motivation is in a freefall. Lately, you've noticed:

Your energy is lower than ever and the lattes are no longer cutting it. Your razor sharp wit, memory, and focus are lagging.
You can't remember the last time you had a night of restful sleep. Even though you're tired all day long, you're wired at night, and you wake up regularly at 3am, your mind replaying all your past and present worries.
Weight is creeping up and you feel uncomfortable in your own skin. Even worse, it's impacting your confidence.
The stress of holding it all together has evolved into omnipresent anxiety. You're moody, snap easily, and may even have experienced dizziness or panic attacks.
Seemingly small health issues- like poor digestion, brain fog, a sinking libido- are starting to snowball out of control.

TRUTH IS, YOU'RE OVERWHELMED. ESPECIALLY SINCE YOU'VE ALREADY TRIED SO MANY THINGS...

Restrictive diets that only led to more weight gain.
HIIT workouts that don't seem to do much but leave you exhausted.
Meditation- if only you could get your brain to turn off.
Supplements or prescription meds from your doctor that just aren't working.
Vacations and retreats that uplift you for a week or two... until reality sinks back in.

It's frustrating to feel like you've tried it all, but nothing seems to work or 'stick'. You might be wondering if you're just broken and have to accept your new normal.

And if you're like many of my clients, your doctor has offered you little guidance other than to "relax" or "lose weight"- maybe even telling you you're "fine" and that your symptoms are all in your head.

Well, I have some news...

WHAT YOU'RE FEELING IS REAL.

AND IT'S REVERSIBLE.

BUT YOU NEED TO ADDRESS THE TRUE ROOTS OF YOUR SYMPTOMS.

And that root is STRESS- directly and indirectly, it impacts both your mental and physical health, resulting in the symptoms you're experiencing.

Sometimes this is called this adrenal fatigue or adrenal dysfunction, but the more accurate term is HPA Axis Dysregulation. That means that the communication network between your brain (hypothalamus & pituitary gland) and your adrenal glands- which together control your stress response- has become disrupted because you've been under so much stress. Stated simply, you're burnt out.

This is a rarely diagnosed phenomenon but it results in a weakened ability to respond to stress, and hormonal imbalance. Eventually, your body slows down to keep you safe. If it goes on for a while, more serious health issues can arise, like insulin resistance, high blood pressure, and autoimmune conditions (e.g., Hashimoto's).

I know that it can be hard for an independent, successful woman to ask for help. You should be able to fix yourself on your own, right?

Not necessarily. This is one of those times when continuing to push harder and go it alone can actually make things worse (ie, overachieving => underachieving). You need to ease up and heal smarter.

In THRIVE, we'll focus on:

1. TARGETED NUTRITION Most likely, food is the source of many of your symptoms- the wrong foods can even add stress to your body, making you feel worse. In THRIVE we use food as medicine to balance your hormones, stabilize your blood sugar, and heal your gut. Result? Your energy returns, stress weight falls off, and other symptoms begin slipping away.

2. NERVOUS SYSTEM REGULATION You've been in fight-or-flight mode for too long! And the truth, is you can't heal while your stress response is stuck in the "on" position. In THRIVE you'll implement daily practices to shift you (and your nervous system) out of survival mode, plus techniques to keep you calm and focused in high stress moments. Equally important, we'll dive deep to identify your main stress triggers and strategize how to eliminate them and break you free from patterns leading to burnout.

3. JOY This is the piece of the puzzle that's forgotten far too often! Research shows that joy, fun, and social connection have a positive impact on our health- and that that their absence can lead to chronic disease. Women experiencing stress, burnout, and adrenal dysfunction often fall short in the joy department. That's why in THRIVE we make an explicit effort to ensure you refuel with joy & pleasure, (re)connect with your passions, and establish balance in your life.

This holistic approach, personalized for you, is what makes THRIVE work.

Over 6 months, you'll learn exactly how to implement the THRIVE formula in a way that aligns with your goals + life. Bit by bit, you'll overcome logistical and mindset obstacles- like perfectionism and people pleasing- so that you don't fall back into old habits.

YOU CAN LOOK FORWARD TO:

ENERGY You'll supercharge your physical, mental, and emotional energy so that you can make an impact in your career, be there for the people you love the most, and reconnect with hobbies and activities that truly bring you joy.
RELIEF Stress-related health symptoms will lift away: insomnia, brain fog, weight gain, poor digestion/IBS, low/no libido, PMS or (peri) menopausal symptoms, and improved bloodwork (e.g. cholesterol, A1C, blood pressure)
EASE You'll learn to effectively handle stress so that you experience less anxiety & overwhelm, and feel confident that even though you can "do it all", you don't have to.

And RESILIENCY: you'll develop the ability to recognize when you're headed toward burnout again, and nip it in the bud before your energy and overall health feels the impact.

The fact is, I can only accept a limited number of clients at any given time, and I only work with women who are prepared to show up and take action.

At its core, healing burnout is a process involving body, mind, and spirit. You must be ready for a new level of personal growth and have the attitude and drive to make the most of your time in THRIVE to get there!

It's my MISSION to support ambitious women with big dreams heal their health and get back to living fulfilling lives, but we must make sure you are qualified before we commit to working together.

You're struggling with one or more of the following symptoms: stress & overwhelm, fatigue, brain fog, poor sleep, weight gain, IBS, low/no libido, & feeling "burnt out". And you're overwhelmed about where to start dealing with it all.
You've been diagnosed with a chronic disease or autoimmune condition or told you're at risk for developing one.
Your health is impacting your work, relationships, family life, and body confidence, and frankly, you're tired of it.
You've got big life goals but your health is making you doubt you'll ever achieve them.
You know it's time to make changes- especially in your diet and daily routines- and you want support and guidance in the process so you can heal more quickly and sustainably.
You're tired of your doctor telling you you're "fine", when you know you're not. Or telling you to "relax" or "lose weight" with no guidance on how to do it. You're ready to take your health into your own hands and to step into your power as the expert on your own body.

You're looking for a quick fix. Sustainable change takes time- that's why THRIVE lasts 6 months.
Your only interest is weight loss.
You never seem to find time for your health, and aren't ready to make it a priority.
You're not prepared to make changes to diet and daily routines. The precise action steps you take each week will be yours to choose, but you must be willing to take consistent action.
You're not willing to be coached or to step outside your comfort zone.
You have a serious health issue that is not being overseen by a doctor yet. THRIVE can complement your overall health strategy, but I cannot diagnose conditions or prescribe medications.

MEET YOUR COACH

Jennifer N. Costanza, PhD

I'LL BE YOUR GUIDE THROUGH THRIVE.

As an Ivy League-educated PhD and former sociology professor, I know from experience how a high-pressure, passion-driven career path can lead to burnout and wreak havoc on your health. I understand the burden of perfectionism that most women experience on a daily basis that leads us to de-prioritize our core needs. And I know what it’s like to wake up one day, look into the mirror, and wonder "who is this?" and "how the heck did I get here?"

That was my life not long ago.

And so I embarked on a healing journey. I turned to food and went to culinary school to learn to prepare nutritious meals that actually taste good. I became an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach and completed additional specialized training in gut health, breathwork, and working with trauma.

I healed my body, got back my energy, and learned to control stress- instead of allowing it to control me. The intense drive that had propelled me so far in my academic career reawakened, but I've redirected it towards helping women like you ditch burnout and transform your life by taking control of your health, using the same evidence-based, holistic approach that's worked for me.

I DON'T WANT YOU TO SUFFER NEEDLESSLY. TO LIVE YOUR LIFE SCARED TO DARE. TO AVOID CLAIMING WHAT YOU DEEPLY DESIRE FOR YOURSELF. YOU HAVE THE POWER TO TAKE BACK YOUR HEALTH AND YOUR LIFE, AND TO FEEL LIKE "YOU" AGAIN- ONLY BETTER.

But what you’ve been doing (or avoided doing) hasn’t been working and it’s time for that to stop, today.

You’re here reading this page because you’re an ambitious woman who’s so done with….

Relying on caffeine and sugar for energy. Then working nights or weekends because you just can't focus enough during the workday.
De-stressing with wine and scrolling or zoning out with Netflix to get to sleep at night (if that even works).
Investing in “quick fixes” like detox diets or supplements, but never seeing any real change.
Telling yourself you’ll finally make some changes to your diet or set boundaries at work, but then beating yourself up when you fall back into old habits.
Feeling so stressed and overwhelmed that you’re worried that no matter what you do, things won’t change. Maybe switching careers or moving to Bali is the answer? Spoiler: it’s not.

You’re tired of waiting for things to magically change for you, and you’re ready to take action. But you want a clear, evidence-based plan that will get you REAL results and transform your energy, your health, and your life once and for all.

WHICH IS WHY YOU'RE THE PERFECT CANDIDATE FOR THRIVE.

Because when you finally get stress under control and heal your body...

You wake up in the morning energized and excited for the day. And you savor that latte because you love the taste- not because you need the caffeine!
That dreaded ‘burnt out’ feeling and the health problems it caused you are no longer an issue because you’ve mastered taking care of your body and mind, and you’re putting your health first- without the guilt or anxiety.
You're more cool & collected at work (and have become way more productive), your good mood has improved your relationships with loved ones, and you even find that you've got more time in your day for your favorite people and activities.

All those things you’d been putting off until you feel better? You’ll be ready to take them on. Big promotion? You’ve got it handled. Pool party? You’re there (in your bikini 😉). Hiking the Grand Canyon? You’re ready for the adventure of a lifetime!

*Transformation doesn't happen by accident*

It happens because you have followed a proven plan, done the work, and received the support necessary to get where you want to go. Period.

If you’re ready to finally create the health and life you desire, let’s do this.

"You’ve helped me switch gears in a way where it felt like I didn’t have to. I feel like I’m in a better place physically, mentally, and emotionally.

"If there’s anybody out there wondering what this experience would be like, I’d like to let them know that Jen, you do it in such a way that you assist without judgment, without criticism. You gently guide in the best direction for the person. I just felt really safe working with you on this. And I felt really happy to have someone on my side that was my cheerleader for myself, to help make me a better person, to give me a healthier lifestyle."

When Consuelo first reached out to me, her stress was at an 11 out of 10, she was exhausted all the time, and had been diagnosed with high cholesterol. Her doctor wanted to put her on medication, but Consuelo knew deep inside that there had to be a better way.

Over the course of her time in THRIVE, she gradually reworked her diet and began integrating stress management practices like breathwork and meditation into her daily life. By the end of the program, she no longer felt stress controlled her- instead, she was in control. She lost 10 lbs and lowered her cholesterol 30 points, removing the need for medication. With her newfound energy, Consuelo created a wellness program for military and veteran caregivers, and is now starting a non-profit organization.

To say Alice was "tired" when she joined THRIVE would be an understatement. She wanted to nap every day and was struggling to balance a demanding career and two young kids. That stress- plus working from home for almost two years- was taking a toll. She knew she was working too much (often on weekends when she'd rather do fun stuff with her kids), felt frustrated and unsatisfied with her job, and admitted she was not taking good care of her health. She wanted to make changes in her health and career, but didn't know where to start or how to stay consistent.

We first got clear on Alice's goals- she had to get very honest with herself about what she wanted when it came to her career and how she wanted her daily life to look. This wasn't easy to figure out! We worked through some of her beliefs about what "success" looked like, so she could re-define it in her own terms.

Next, Alice started putting healthy habits in place: adjusting her diet, and finding ways to de-stress. She experimented to discover out what worked best for her. Once Alice started prioritizing her health and feeling better physically, she began taking bolder action at work: asking for what she wanted and setting firm boundaries around her time and what projects she was willing to take on. This required a lot of mindset work. Like so many brilliant, high performing women, Alice experienced imposter syndrome, which led her to work more than necessary and worry deeply about her performance- when all evidence indicated she was excelling at her job.

Alice is now on the path to a more fulfilling role that allows her to have the work-life balance she desires, while continuing to care for her own mental and physical health.

"When I reached out to Jen, I was struggling- as a busy scientist and mom of 2 young kids- with burnout, sleep deprivation, and weight gain. My efforts to improve my well-being were not panning out, leaving me with anxiety and low confidence about my ability to restore my balance and what specific strategies to commit to. I knew it was a good time for intervention because I was nearly ready to wean my 3yo and set better boundaries around sleep, and I wanted accountability and emotional support in prioritizing my health alongside my kids.

"Jen helped me hone in on specific goals and action steps that would have the biggest impact on these goals, and gave me the accountability and motivation I needed to follow through. I weaned my kid, enforced better boundaries around sleep, found a new exercise routine that fits in my life, and made a few shifts in my nutrition that reduced my anxiety about food choices and set me up for success each day. From this synergy I now have better sleep, better boundaries, a stronger and slightly lighter body, and more energy to tackle my many tasks each day. Moreover, renewed confidence it my ability to improve my health and well-being. I recommend Jen to everyone!"

THE HARD TRUTH:

THERE’S NEVER A BEST TIME TO START

Waiting for the perfect time? When everything is calm in your life and you’re ready to focus on YOU? I hate to break it to you, but that time is never going to come. You just need to jump in and start moving forward. In fact, one of the things I’ll help you with is figuring out is how to prioritize your health when everything in your life feels non-stop crazy.

In THRIVE, you'll ditch the burnout for good and become your own best healer. It won't be easy at times, but it'll be worth it in every aspect of your health: mind, body, & soul.
