You get.. better energy, better health. And a body that turns heads.
Elite Functional
Plus 1:1 with Erin
This is not GUESSWORK. Erin combines personalized, physiology-first coaching built around real data from your body and biofeedback.
Your program includes one functional diagnostic lab, (DUTCH, GI-MAP, or a comprehensive blood panel) so we can identify the exact hormonal, metabolic or gut imbalances keeping you stuck. From there we create a targeted nutrition and wellness plan designed to improve body composition, energy levels, digestion and stress resilience.
You will also have access to additional labs if deeper insight is needed, ensuring every step of your plan is rooted in clarity, not confusion.

Who We Help:
We help midlife women stop fighting their bodies and finally get the results they’ve been working their asses off for.
Most of our clients aren’t beginners. They’re high-achieving, overextended, “I’ll-sleep-when-I’m-dead” women who have spent years dieting, hustling, skipping meals, doing endless cardio, and wondering why the scale keeps climbing and their energy keeps tanking.
It’s not because you're lazy.
It’s not because you “lack willpower.”
It’s because your physiology is fried.
In Sovereign Era, we rebuild the internal systems running your body, metabolism, hormones, stress response, digestion, so fat loss becomes responsive, muscle builds easier, and your body finally reflects the effort you’ve been giving it for decades.
This is functional, strength-driven coaching for midlife women who want more:
More strength.
More energy.
More confidence.
More food freedom.
More life.
We don’t teach restriction.
We don’t sell quick fixes.
We don’t tell you to “just try harder.”
We help you become the woman with the body, health, and life she always knew she was capable of — the one who stops shrinking and starts taking up space.
Strong.
Regulated.
Well-fed.
Unapologetically sovereign.
