From Exhausted to Energized: What Happened When I Stopped Dieting and Started Supporting my body
There was a time I thought discipline was the answer.

More control.
More rules.
More restriction.

But the more I restricted, the more tired I became.

And exhaustion does not build a thriving life.

Especially not one where:

• You want to travel
• Play with grandbabies
• Build a business
• Feel confident in your clothes

The shift happened when I stopped asking:

“How do I shrink my body?”
And started asking:
“How do I support it?”

What I Focus On Instead

  1. Stabilizing blood sugar
  2. Eating enough protein
  3. Walking daily
  4. Strength training
  5. Supporting metabolic flexibility
That’s where Balance & Burn came in for me.

It's not about chasing skinny.

It's about:
• Supporting energy
• Encouraging fat metabolism
• Reducing afternoon crashes
• Feeling steady instead of inflamed

And slowly…
My cravings have settled.
My energy has improved.
My clothes are fitting differently.
My mood has stabilized.

Not overnight.
But steadily.

That’s the difference between punishment and partnership.

Midlife is not about getting smaller.

It’s about getting stronger.

If you’re curious about what I’m using and how I structure my day, I’d love to share it with you.

Message me “BALANCE.”

Let’s make this season your strongest yet.

Meet Anna McElligott

 

I used to struggle with energy crashes and mood swings during perimenopause. It made everyday life as a mom and grandma feel overwhelming, like I was just getting by.

Then I discovered simple, natural solutions like easy swaps for holistic living and routines that supported my hormones. It changed everything—giving me back my spark and a sense of real life wellness.

Now I help women who want to live healthier, reduce toxins, and enjoy simple joys without the overwhelm. We start small and grow from there.

If that’s you, get in touch—I’d love to help.
