Board certified functional medicine nutrition practitioners.

Functional root-cause testing & diagnostics. Personalized plans.

Three doctors told me my labs were normal. Sara ran the panels they never ordered and everything I had been describing for four years was right there on paper.
– Andrea
Client before and after
My A1C had crept up every single year. Six months in, it moved in the other direction for the first time since I started tracking it.
– Susan
Client before and after
The bloating was the first thing to go. I stopped planning what I wore around how my stomach would look by dinner.
– Rachael
I had not slept through the night in two years. The cortisol results explained exactly why, and the 3am wakeups stopped.
– Shannon
Client before and after
I had spent thousands on supplements I picked off the internet. This was the first time anyone tested before telling me what to take.
– Heather
Client before and after
My thyroid diagnosis came with a prescription and nothing else. Sara was the first person to look at my gut and my stress alongside it.
– Erica
I did not just lose the weight. I understand my body now, which is the part that makes me believe it will stay off.
– Ashley
I came in thinking this was about my weight. I left with my energy back, and I did not know that was even on the table.
– Michelle

Whole-Woman Care for Midlife

Weight Gain and Hormonal Change.

Whole-Woman Care for Midlife Weight Gain and Hormonal Change

One-size-fits-all doesn't work for midlife care. Wherever you are in your journey, we’ll meet you there with a science-backed solution tailored to your specific concerns.

THE TRUTH

You've Already Been Told It's Hormones. But, Nobody Told You What Else It Is.

Hormones are part of it. They are almost never all of it. Your gut, your cortisol rhythm, inflammation, and how your body handles blood sugar are all shifting at the same time, and each one pulls on the others.

That is why cutting calories stops working, why the bloating outlasts every elimination diet, and why you can do everything right and still watch the scale hold. 

You cannot out-diet a system that is out of balance in four places at once.

WHY THE WEIGHT WONT MOVE

Four Systems Decide Whether Weight Comes Off. Right Now, All Four Are Working Against You.

Fat loss is not one switch. It runs through four systems, and in midlife all four start shifting at the same time.

That is why eating less stops working. You are not losing a fight with your appetite.

Select any symptom to see which system is driving it.

    WE DON'T GUESS. WE LOOK.

    You Can't Fix What Nobody Has Measured.

    A DUTCH panel shows how your body produces and clears hormones at four points across a full day, not one number from one morning blood draw. A GI-MAP shows exactly what is living in your gut, down to the bacteria no standard visit screens for. And comprehensive bloodwork catches the metabolic markers that move years before anyone calls them a diagnosis.

    Then there is the part nobody explains. A normal lab result only means you are not sick enough to treat. We read the same numbers against optimal ranges instead, because feeling fine was never the goal.

    Once we can see it, we can fix it. That is when your body finally starts responding again.

    DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT

    Results From The Inside Out.

    Because I want the support & results Elevated Vitality delivers

    WHAT THE PROCESS LOOKS LIKE

    The Midlife Revival Method

    Phase One

    Assess & Decode

    Weeks 1 to 4

    We start with the full picture. A GI-MAP for your gut, a DUTCH panel for your hormones across a full day, and comprehensive bloodwork read against optimal ranges. Then we sit down and walk every line together until you understand what your body has actually been doing.

    1

    Phase Two

    Remove & Reset

    Weeks 5 to 8

    We take out what your results identified. The foods that are inflammatory for you specifically, not the ones on a generic list. The gut imbalances the GI-MAP found. The habits quietly keeping cortisol elevated. This is usually the phase where the bloating goes.

    2

    Phase Three

    Rebuild & Restore

    Weeks 9 to 14

    Gut lining, nutrient status, and blood sugar stability get repaired with a protocol written from your results. Most women eat more here rather than less, because an under-fueled body in midlife holds on instead of letting go. Strength work starts wherever you are.

    3

    Phase Four

    Rebalance & Rise

    Weeks 15 to 22

    With the foundation repaired, fat loss stops being a fight. No panic, no cutting food groups, no starting over on Monday. Progressive strength work builds the muscle that protects your metabolism and your bones, and we retest to confirm what changed instead of assuming.

    4

    Phase Five

    Reveal & Embody

    Weeks 23 to 26

    Every diet you have done left you at the bottom with no way out. Not this one. We move you out of the deficit on purpose, build the maintenance plan you will actually use, and rehearse the situations that used to undo you. The best outcome here is that you stop needing us.

    Comprehensive Functional Testing

    GI-MAP, DUTCH, and comprehensive bloodwork as your case requires. Collected at home, shipped to the lab, no clinic visit needed.

    Your Root Cause Blueprint

    Your results translated into plain language. What is off, why it matters, and exactly what we are doing about each finding.

    A Gut Protocol Built From Your GI-MAP

    Not a generic elimination diet. The specific imbalances your test found, addressed in the order that works.

    A Hormone Protocol Built From Your DUTCH

    Written around how your body is actually producing and clearing hormones right now, not around where you probably are.

    Weekly One-on-One Calls

    Every week with your functional medicine nutrition practitioner. Questions answered, protocol adjusted, nothing left sitting.

    Direct Text Support Between Calls

    A question about a food, a symptom, a strange week. Message your practitioner rather than waiting seven days.

    Weekly Group Call

    Time with other women going through the same thing, which most clients say was the part they did not know they needed.

    Nutrition and Strength Programming

    Built for the body you have now, with muscle and bone as the goal alongside fat loss. Home or gym, starting wherever you are.

    Targeted Supplementation

    Only what your results actually call for, and the goal is always to get you off most of them.

    More Results From The Inside Out.

    "I'm happier. I don't stress over the little things. People in the room say they can feel the energy."

    Luisa lost 26 inches while the scale moved twelve pounds. She traded fat for lean muscle, which is why the tape told a completely different story than the number did.

    "I've lost my first 30, and I'm coming for that next 30."

    Carly is down 30 pounds and 22 inches. A mom of two who had spent years putting herself last, she started terrified she couldn't do it at all.

    "I started my nursing home prevention program. Lost 20 pounds along the way."

    At 58, Bonnie...

    "I didn't even think about perimenopause and its impact. She helped me realize what all of that was doing to my body."

    Sandy is down 17 pounds and 11 inches. She had been athletic her whole life and had never been told her body's rules had changed.

    "I was always in pain. I wanted to feel stronger. I wanted to have more energy."

    At 52, she wasn't after a number on the scale. She wanted her body to stop hurting and her clothes to fit.

    "I totally let myself go. One day I decided I can't do this anymore."

    A single mother of two who had put herself last for years. She's now the role model she wanted her kids to have.

    The Women Behind Elevated Vitality.

    Sara FRENZA| Founder

    Hey, I'm Sara!

    I’m Sara Frenza, Functional Medicine Nutrition Practitioner, Nutrition and Body Transformation Coach, Menopause Coaching Specialist, Gut and Hormone Specialist.

    I built this practice because I lived this exact struggle. I know what it feels like to do everything right and have your body not cooperate. I spent years learning what conventional medicine and mainstream fitness never taught me about what actually happens inside a woman’s body during perimenopause and menopause.

    Every woman I work with deserves real answers, not more guessing, not more restriction, not another plan designed for someone else’s biology.

    ASK ME ANYTHING

    Questions Most Woman Ask First.

    Do you offer payment plans?

    Yes. We have other flexible payment plan options to make the investment more manageable. We can go over the details on our virtual consult.

    Is Elevated Vitality Experience covered by HSA/FSA?

    HSA/FSA may be eligible with a Letter of Medical Necessity depending on your plan, so you may be able to use pre-tax health dollars.

    How long until I see results?

    Most clients notice changes in sleep, energy, and mood within the first few weeks. Weight loss typically starts showing up in Phase 2, once we've addressed the root issues. This isn't a crash diet. It's a process. But it's a process that actually sticks.

    What if I've already tried everything and nothing works?

    That's exactly who this is for. If you've done the diets, the programs, the calorie counting and you're still stuck, there's usually something going on under the surface that nobody has looked at. That's what the testing shows us. Once we know what's actually happening, we can fix it.

    I have a thyroid or autoimmune diagnosis already. Does that change anything?

    It usually makes the gut work more important, not less. A diagnosis tells you what to call it. It rarely tells you what else is feeding it, which is where we come in.

    How is this different from other nutrition coaching programs?

    Most programs give you a meal plan or macros and send you on your way with occasional email or video check-ins. We start with testing so we're not guessing. We look at your hormones, your gut health, your cortisol patterns. Then we build a complete plan around YOUR data. We prioritize the relationship between you and your dedicated coach. You’re not just a number, you have a real person invested in your success.


    What if I’ve never done functional testing before?

    That’s completely fine! After you enroll, you’ll fill out a detailed intake form with all your symptoms and submit any recent lab work you have. Our functional nutrition team will review everything and determine the best testing protocol for your specific situation.

    Do I need a doctor's referral to join?

    Nope. The testing we do is ordered through the program, not your doctor. You don't need anyone's permission to get started. That said, I'm not replacing your doctor. If something comes up in your results that needs medical attention, I'll tell you. We work alongside your healthcare team, not instead of them.

    What if my doctor said my labs are fine, do I still need testing?

    Standard bloodwork captures one moment and gets read against ranges built to catch disease, not to describe how you feel. A DUTCH panel shows how your body processes hormones across a full day. A GI-MAP shows gut markers a standard visit never screens for. Fine and optimal are not the same thing.

    What if I’m on a GLP-1 medication?

    We absolutely work with women on GLP-1s, especially if you’ve plateaued or suspect you’re malnourished. We can help optimize your nutrition and address underlying issues.

    Is this all virtual or do I need to be local?

    100% virtual. All of our coaching calls happen over Zoom. The testing kits get shipped directly to your house. We have clients all over the country.

    What's the time commitment each week?

    Expect about 2-3 hours per week. That includes your workouts, tracking your food, and our coaching calls. It's not nothing, but it's manageable for women with full schedules.

    Still have a question I didn't answer?

    Just text the word "ELEVATED" to "(226) 799-4745" and ask away... we're standing by to help.
