My Story

meet Therese!

Hello! I’m Therese Masiello-London, certified Primal Health Coach. I’m a married mother of two young girls. I worked in the Corporate world for over 20 years until I needed a change. I decided to become a health coach so I can help busy moms like me create healthier habits that stick!

I’m Here to share my story so you Have Hope that You will get Healthier too!

I have a history of struggling with my weight.  I’ve tried different diets that would work but then I’d usually gain at least some of the weight back.  I also suffered from IBS, anxiety, and had trouble dealing with stress, resulting in symptoms such as constipation, stomach pain, heart palpitations, and fatigue.  I lacked energy.  On weekends I either wanted to have a few drinks or just sit and relax.

I felt hopeless with the weight, like this is just how I was meant to be.  I didn’t have the patience or energy I wanted to have for my family.  I felt like a bad mom and wife.  I was frustrated as I had worked so hard to have this family but I couldn’t enjoy my life.  I was afraid I was going to miss out on the best parts of my kids’ lives. 

Diet changes are difficult but I’ve been adopting a more Primal diet.  This has helped with many of my digestive issues.  When I eat less carbs my satiety lasts longer and I’m less bloated.  Another change that has really changed my life is that I got a Peloton.  In the beginning I kept pushing myself to do harder rides, not realizing that chronic cardio wasn’t good for me! Now I alternate between bike rides and strength workouts to have variety.  I make my workouts fun and don’t just do them to lose weight.  Finally, I left the Corporate world, which has really helped with my stress management. 

I decided to become a health coach because I’ve always been interested in health topics.  After being in the Corporate world for 20+ years, I wanted to have a job where I’m helping people, making a difference, and have a purpose.  I want to help other people going through similar issues as me.  I’m excited to coach other women like me on managing stress, having a consistent exercise routine, eating more nourishing foods, and finding time for themselves for self-care.
