Lindsay, Marketing Executive has a whole new lease on life
“I feel like I'm in my twenties again!”
“I've got more energy. I'm less crabby. I'm sleeping better. I'm starting to lose weight. My skin is better. My PMS has gone, my anxiety has gone from an 8 to a 2. I'm finding joy in my life and I've really been able to fine tune my eating habits and just not even like diet or restriction…My inflammation has gone down from 13 to 2, so I'm not sore anymore.
If you're on the fence, just talk to her and understand how little people know about women's bodies and how much work she's done, and opportunities we're missing on. We don't need to suffer!”
Dr Marie-Hélène, MD, finally found the complete answer
“"Your program is a powerhouse of knowledge — your background is credible and it's reassuring."
"The biggest improvement for me is feeling better physically — I feel better in the evening and I sleep better too. I've read a lot of books and listened to podcasts, but they're all disparate — little bits and pieces. This platform is a complete place; I don't feel like I need to look anywhere else. There's no reason for me to go back to not investing in my health. The page has turned. I would do it all over again, for sure."
Rae feels empowered and excitd for a brighter future
“It’s just the whole picture”
It’s really been empowering. I’m getting a foundation that’s really gonna move me into my next few years and beyond and feel confident that I can do it.
It’s just the whole picture - mindset to diet, to exercise, to hormonal balance, and then also the support, just the camaraderie of other women in the program. As I become more balanced and knowledgeable and progress along through the course with other women, it’s super helpful because we all share a common thing…
I would say do it. You won’t be disappointed…You really are investing in yourself for your life, which is great. We want long-term results.

Being in the presence of Dr. Mary Pines is a gift. Her approach draws from the true nature of health and healing.
As we navigate healthcare reform, we’re increasingly aware of our need for experts and guides who hold deep wisdom and skill in helping us tap into our own innate healing capacities.
They will not only be experts in multidisciplinary ways of knowing, sense-making, and evidence-based inquiry, they will also be leaders by example - authentic pioneers who have, through their own journeys, discovered the deepest insights that come only from direct experience. They will empower the healthiest versions of ourselves.
Mary is such a guide. To work with her is to work beyond the bounds of conventional.

*We cover all the major issues women tend to face as we age, including “the big 4:” insulin resistance, estrogen dominance, cortisol dysregulation and thyroid dysfunction.

Dr Mary Pines, PhD
Creator of the BB40 program, Dr Mary is your guide and go-to when it comes to all things health, hormones, metabolism & functional lifestyle medicine. She is always available to you throughout the program.
Learn more about her here and her background here:
Erin Harrington,
Your Success Manager
Functional Medicine-Certified Health Coach
Integrative Nutritionist
Erin is a Functional Medicine Health Coach & Integrative Nutritionist who has also been studying and teaching yoga for more than 25 years.
Like many women, midlife caught Erin completely off guard. She experienced hormonal imbalances, thyroid disease, weight gain, joint pain, brain fog, and more. Through her own healing journey, Erin discovered the power of functional medicine, nutrition, movement, and mindset—and now helps other women navigate midlife with clarity, strength, and confidence.
She became interested in midlife women's metabolic health starting in 2017 as she was finishing at the Functional Medicine Coaching Academy. Most of her clients were women and it occurred to her that they were all saying the same thing...as was she! So she honed in deeply on midlife female metabolism at midlife right from the start of her coaching career.
She has 3 grown children and brings both her professional training and lived experience to her work in the BB40 program.
Stephanie Matos,
Your Mindset Magician
Exercise Physiologist
Nutritionist
Steph has a Masters in Exercise Physiology and Nutrition, has lost 60lbs on her own health journey and has a LOT of life experience and lasting success overcoming the very obstacles you're probably struggling with right now.
She teaches science-based strategies to reduce stress, heal hormones, overcome emotional eating, and create sustainable change that lasts for life. Stephanie shares how true, lasting change (including weight loss) didn’t come from more knowledge - but from rewiring the mind-body connection in addition to the good habits. This leads to deeper mind-body results, stronger program follow-through, and deeper transformations. With an optimized mindset, members get better results.
Steph really understands the struggle and meets our members exactly where they’re at. Because while today, Steph a happy and successful woman, this wasn’t always the case: for most of her life, she lived a fear-driven existence, trapped in anxiety, overwhelm, and low self-confidence and worth.
From this deep dark hole, however, came a lot of light. She learned to heal herself through the systems and strategies she nowes teach today – what she refers to as a unique blend of science and magic.
This is also where she discovered her true calling: helping other women realize their potential and create a life they truly love.
More Transformations!
