A physiology-first restoration of energy and internal stability, grounded in holistic nutrition, for women in perimenopause who refuse to live in survival mode.
Welcome To The
14 Carrots Method
You’ve been holding it together for so long that exhaustion has started to feel… normal.
But it’s not just “low energy.”
It’s what low energy does to your whole life.
You wake up tired, even after a full night in bed, and already feel behind.
You rely on coffee just to feel human… then crash anyway.
Your brain feels foggier, your patience runs thinner, and simple decisions feel weirdly hard.
By the time work is done, you’re too depleted to cook so you order in again, even though it doesn’t actually help you feel better.
You want to feel like yourself… but lately it’s more like:
staring at the fridge like it has answers
getting snappy with people you love (then feeling guilty)
cancelling plans because you don’t have the energy margin
working all day and recovering all weekend
lying in bed exhausted… but wired
And the most frustrating part?
You are doing a lot of things “right.”
You’re just missing the systems support that makes those things work.
HERE’S THE TRUTH MOST WOMEN ARE NEVER TOLD:
You’re not exhausted because you’re undisciplined.
When your nervous system has been running in high alert for years, your body stops prioritizing the support of systems that drive energy.
It prioritizes survival.
That’s why you can be doing “all the right things” and still feel like you can’t recover.
Your body may simply lack key internal resources—like cellular hydration, minerals, stable blood sugar, and optimal gut–liver function—that help regulate hormones, stabilize mood, produce energy, and support clear thinking.
When these foundational systems falter, steady energy can become harder to maintain, making diets, supplements, habit-stacking, or motivation and willpower feel less effective.
You’re not broken.
Your body has simply been trying to power a big life from a depleted foundation.
But it is a significant change to our operating system. When hormones fluctuate and you’re running on empty, shifts in these systems can contribute to how you:
wake up tired after 8 hours
feel wired at night and depleted during the day
lose patience faster than you want to
can’t cook, focus, or plan the way you used to
feel like you’re slipping behind in a life you worked hard to build
This isn’t just aging. This isn’t personal failure. This isn’t “just hormones.”
It’s an internal systems issue—and we can work with that.
Perimenopause is not the villain.
Introducing The 14 Carrots Method
A proprietary, physiology‑first restoration approach for women 35–55 navigating perimenopause, exhaustion, and identity loss.
This is not a protocol.
It’s a recalibration.
The 14 Carrots Method was designed specifically for the metabolic, neurological, and hormonal shifts of perimenopause, using functional and evidence-based tools in a sequence that supports internal stability.
When your body feels stable and safe, energy production can improve.
“I’ve struggled with burnout, stress and a myriad of perimenopause symptoms, but especially brain fog and low energy. At the end of the program, I had lost about 10 pounds, and was able to go back to a fitness class twice a week—something I hadn’t had the energy to do for years.”
— Caitlin
The Energetic Stability Sequence
Many approaches overlook the four systems that can influence hormone balance, mood, nervous system, energy, and cognition. But we start there:
• Cellular hydration & oxygenation: low levels can contribute to heavy fatigue, brain fog, headaches, and puffiness even after sleep, while improving them often brings clearer mornings and lighter energy.
• Mineral repletion: deficiencies may heighten anxiety, impatience, cravings, and night waking. Restoring them frequently leads to steadier mood and better sleep.
• Blood sugar stability: Blood sugar swings often trigger mid-afternoon crashes, late-night cravings, and shakiness, but stabilizing it typically yields even energy.
• Gut–liver support: Your liver helps process and clear many hormones, and your gut influences how they are reabsorbed or eliminated. When digestion and clearance are off, symptoms can stack: more bloating, inflammation, skin changes, mood swings, and that “nothing is working anymore” feeling.
If your system is stuck in push mode (sympathetic drive) all day — and crash mode by night — your physiology will keep acting like it’s under threat.
So we don’t just “fix your food.”
We restore your internal resources and teach your nervous system how to receive them.
That’s when reliable energy turns back on.

This work isn’t about tightening your grip on life. It’s about restoring enough internal safety that curiosity, pleasure, and ease can come back online.
Part of this method intentionally creates space for: play without productivity; joy without justification; movement and nourishment that feel enlivening, not depleting.
Not as a “mindset exercise,” but because your nervous system and metabolism recover faster when your body remembers it’s safe to feel good again. This is where energy stops being something you manage and starts being something you experience.
The Outcome
Most programs only try to change your habits.
This work restores your internal resources and your nervous system capacity, so your body can actually hold the change.
Clients experience results like:
waking up and feeling like sleep actually counted
fewer 2–4am wakeups and a calmer bedtime
steady energy that lasts until dinner (without needing caffeine to survive)
reduced cravings, especially the urgent 3pm sugar fix
digestion that feels noticeably calmer (less bloating, less “off” gut days)
inflammation softening: skin, puffiness, and that heavy-body feeling
less brain fog and that “scrambled” feeling at work
clearer thinking, better memory, and more confidence in meetings
emotional steadiness: fewer short-fuse moments, more patience
fewer days where everything feels like too much
This is not perimenopause as decline.
This is perimenopause as reclamation.
“Through family stresses and running a business, Elisa has been a constant guide. I wholeheartedly recommend taking a chance on yourself and working with Elisa. Her compassionate, informed, and genuinely supportive approach has shown me that real, lasting change is possible—one step at a time.”

Who This Is For
This work is for high‑achieving women 35–55 who:
feel like a shell of themselves
wake up tired and crash mid‑afternoon
feel emotionally flat, overwhelmed, or snappy
suspect perimenopause is involved but know that’s not the whole story
feel guilty resting yet too exhausted to keep pushing
want clarity, structure, and leadership they can trust
You don’t need more information.
You need a map.
THE INVESTMENT
Two Intentionally Designed Pathways
Your physiology needs support that matches your level of depletion — not a one-size-fits-all container. Choose from either a 14 Week Blueprint or 6-Month Container.
Starting at $650+GST per month.
This is not just a health investment.
It’s an upgrade in capacity — for your work, your relationships, and the life you’re here to lead.
I work with only three private clients per month by design, so every woman inside this container is held deeply, intentionally, and with the level of proximity that accelerates real change.
THE GUARANTEE
You don’t have to override yourself to begin.
If at any point you feel this isn’t delivering what you need, you can pause or step out.
You’ll receive a refund for any unused time.
This removes the fear of “What if this doesn’t work?” and lets your nervous system settle enough for real restoration to begin.
“I wake up feeling rested and better able to meaningfully participate in my life. My night sweats have reduced significantly too (also contributing to better sleep!). It has been a transformative experience working with Elisa. I honestly thought I was doomed to experience poor sleep and a lousy mood for the next decade.”
— M.S.
THE POWER SHIFT
Restoration happens in phases—not all at once.
Week 1: Your body finally makes sense. Relief lands as the confusion lifts.
Weeks 2–4: Cravings might soften. Energy can feel steadier.
Weeks 5–8: You feel yourself coming back online — clearer, more grounded, more capable. Sleep begins to deepen.
Weeks 9–14 (and beyond, in the extended container): You’re no longer managing exhaustion. You’re leading your life again, with steadier energy and far more resilience.
Some women experience this shift more quickly; others benefit from the additional spaciousness of the six-month container. Both paths honour your schedule and your body’s timing.
It’s physiology restored with intention and evidence-based nutrition and lifestyle tools.
If you’re tired of being tired…
If you’re done piecing your health together from podcasts, posts, and willpower…
If you’re ready for your body to finally support the life you’ve built…
This isn’t magic.
Step into the version of you whose energy finally matches her vision.
