QUOTES

  • "Once you start feeding your body consistently, your hunger hormones are going to get back up. And it starts to trust you. And that's when your energy kind of stabilizes and your metabolism actually starts to work for you, not against you." - Sharleen Cheung
  • "I just really help high-achieving women break free from that dieting cycle and balance the hormones and just start to menopause with a holistic blend of macronutrition, strength training, and a lot of mindset coaching and just the personalized functional support as well with my team." - Sharleen Cheung
  • "Being able to protect your energy and offload things to an assistant, or your staff member or someone that's more of a specialist in a particular area, is key to growing the business and scaling and making sure that you're doing the things that you enjoy doing and not wasting your time or burning yourself out." - Laurie Chen
