Does this sound familiar?
→ Dragging your exhausted shell of a human body out of bed and straight to the coffee every morning only to be continually disappointed the caffeine doesn’t hit like it used to.
→ Feeling gut wrenchingly depleted every second of the day, particularly around 3pm.
→ Fantasizing about sleep all day long, but a night in bed isn’t enough to leave you feeling recharged. Maybe sleeping for 2 weeks straight will be enough?
→ Wondering where this utterly burnt out, short tempered, and anxious person came from because it doesn’t seem like the real you.
Energize is for moms who want to have more energy, think more clearly, and have stable moods -
Without having to change their whole routine, spend their life savings on supplements, or clone themselves at home.
Most people tell you that as a mom you’re supposed to be tired. But the truth is, there are real and treatable reasons for unrelenting exhaustion and I’m going to show you exactly what to do to feel better. Even if your kiddos are not letting you sleep through the night.
It’s possible. And you can see results in as little as one week.
With minimal but effective tweaks to your current routine. Because you don’t have energy for time consuming and complicated.
Inside Energize:
01
learn how to eat + move for energy
We’re not talking about sugar hits and caffeine quick fixes. What does your body and brain actually need to have consistent and sustainable levels of energy? Let’s do that.

Using my proprietary symptom assessment tool, you’ll see what’s at the root of your fatigue in less than 3 minutes. Then we get straight down to business and make the tweaks that are right for your body.
03

Depleted moms often need a little extra oomph, but how do you know which supplements actually do something? You’ll get my curated list of supplements according to each root cause of fatigue that are effective and evidence based.

The best part? Energize works quickly.
i created this because i see moms suffering.
The idea that we as mothers have to sacrifice our entire mental and physical wellbeing for the good of our children honestly can f*ck right off. If you are dealing with exhaustion, know that it is not normal.
I can’t fix the lack of parental leave, make your toddler sleep through the night, give you affordable childcare, or send you on a childfree 1 month vacation. But…
I’ll help you identify the treatable root cause of your fatigue and walk you through simple ways to feel better almost immediately.
science based.
mom-approved
Most nutrition based programs are full of complicated recipes, wallet busting supplements, and require a baseline level of energy and bandwidth just to watch the 87 hours of video content.
This program is evidence based, extremely affordable, quick to consume and implement, and built for moms who need help just to do the bare minimum for themselves. I understand exactly where you’re at, and have the tools to help you feel human again, asap.
How Energize works:
Energize is a focused energy reset pathway inside The Motherlode.
When you join, you’ll get:
• Immediate access to the full Energize curriculum to get you from “mostly dead” to “functional human”
• Weekly Office Hours with me for questions and troubleshooting
• Unlock every other Motherlode resource (hormone help, mood support, postpartum recovery, weight, perimenopause, labs) for when you’re ready to go beyond “not dead”
This ain’t self care. It’s healthcare.
“Just wait until your kids are older” is not an effective strategy for clinical exhaustion.
If your body is experiencing treatable issues such as nutrient deficiencies, hormonal chaos, or blood sugar swings, then waiting to resolve these will give you more symptoms in the longterm.
“I know why I’m tired,
I don’t sleep enough 🙄 ”
If you’re thinking - duh Alison, I’m tired because I don’t sleep. Are you going to send a nanny to my house to wake up with my children in the middle of the night?
Here’s the thing - you can be exhausted because you’re not sleeping and because you are physically depleted and have something else going on under the hood.
You can feel WAY better than you do now with these simple food and lifestyle tweaks, and then feel even better once those cute little people you made start sleeping through the night.
Meet the Expert
Hi! I’m Alison, mom of two and a Registered Dietitian and Functional Nutritionist specializing in postpartum and motherhood health.
After giving birth to my first child, I experienced the unrelenting exhaustion, brain fog and 0-60 mood swings that left me wondering WTF was going on. I was able to change course and feel better quickly by figuring out the root causes of why I felt this way, and then went on to help thousands of moms do the same. When you join, you’ll get the same results from implementing the strategies that I’m teaching in this program!
New moms are suffering needlessly by feeling physically weak, hormonally drained, and altogether run down. The solution is straightforward and simple, but typical maternal healthcare hasn’t caught up yet.
In Energize I”ll teach you the simple and effective strategies to start feeling like yourself again.
Are you in?
energize is for you if…
You knew that motherhood would be hard, but you didn’t know it would be physically draining at this level of intensity.
You’re struggling with having the energy to get through the day without one thousand cups of coffee - let alone be productive at work.
The way you are feeling is standing in the way of fully enjoying your child.
Your stress, moods, or feelings of overwhelm are putting a strain on your relationships.
Your doctor told you “everything looks good” but your intuition tells you something isn’t right.
Psst:
it’s time to feel like you again.
You deserve to feel balanced, calm and energized

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly am I buying here? The Energize Program or The Motherlode?
You’re joining The Motherlode, my hormone and functional medicine system for moms. Energize is a focused energy-reset pathway inside The Motherlode that we start you on first so you can stop feeling like a zombie.
When you join, you get the full Energize protocol plus access to every other Motherlode pathway (hormones, mood, postpartum recovery, weight, perimenopause), weekly Office Hours with me, access to lab ordering, and an accountability community while you’re a member.
My doctor said all my labs are normal, and this is just what it feels like to be a mother. Will changing my diet really help?
Yes, because that answer from your doctor is some real BS.
Feeling exhausted all the time is not normal, it’s a sign something’s off, even if your basic labs say “fine.”
In Energize we’re not just swapping snacks; we’re using food, timing, and simple routines to stabilize blood sugar, support your nervous system, and start rebuilding what’s been drained. For a lot of moms, that’s the first lever that finally moves the needle.
I'm drowning in diapers. Will I have time for this?
Absofreakinglutely. Energize was built for busy, exhausted mothers with the attention span of a goldfish and a baby monitor.
No 20-hour course, no homework packets. You get short videos, simple guides, and a few key changes that make a big difference. After a decade of working with wiped-out moms, I boiled it down to only what actually moves your energy. Minimum effort, maximum “oh my god I don’t feel like death.”
I already eat healthy. Is this program for me?
Most likely, yes. Most “healthy eaters” I see are eating plenty of good foods… just not in the amounts or combinations their post-kids body needs.
Energize is designed to help you fuel this version of you — the mom version — not pre-baby you or some generic “clean eating” template. If you’re eating well on paper but still feel exhausted, foggy, or fried, this is exactly who I built it for.
How long will it take to start feeling better?
It depends on your body and how quickly you can implement, but here’s what I typically see:
For about 80% of moms, once they follow the meal guide and basics from module 1, energy and mood start to shift within days to a couple of weeks.
For the rest, changes come a bit more slowly as we work through the root causes in module 2.
It’s not always an overnight miracle, but it’s also not a “feel worse before you can feel better” situation.
I didn’t give birth to my kids but I still feel like garbaage - will this still apply to me?
Yes. Adoptive, surrogate, and non-bio moms are absolutely welcome.
Some material touches on pregnancy, birth, and breastfeeding, but most of what we’re doing is about stress, sleep disruption, depletion, and the universal experience of putting yourself last. If you’re a human who mothers and you feel like trash, this is for you.
What’s your refund policy?
All digital purchases are non-refundable.
The Motherlode is a 6-month commitment with a “let me out” clause:
If, within your first 30 days, you’ve gone through at least 3 modules and attended at least one Office Hours session, and you still feel it’s not a fit, email us and we’ll cancel your subscription and revoke your access to all resources. No hard feelings I only want women in the room who feel helped.
Will this help me lose extra weight?
My priority is to help you feel better first. Weight loss isn’t the focus of the Energize pathway, but low energy is a huge barrier to doing anything that supports healthy weight.
Many moms find that once their bodies have what they need and they’re not running on fumes, weight management gets easier.
You’ll also have access to the Metabolic Moms pathway inside The Motherlode, so once you’re no longer feeling like the walking dead, you can shift your focus to healthy, sustainable weight loss.
I’m a vegetarian or have food restrictions. Will I be able to follow the food plan?
Yes. My food and meal recommendations follow a simple formula so you can plug your own favorite foods into each category. The meal plans and recipes are there for ease and inspiration - you don’t need to follow them exactly to get results.
If you need extra help, you can bring your restrictions to Office Hours or use the custom GPTs inside The Motherlode for more personalized ideas.
Mom Exhaustion is common but not ok.
Feel better by next week.
