Claudia Petrilli is a Functional Health Coach, Integrative Nutrition Coach, Women's Health Educator, and creator of The Hormone Rescue program. Having experienced debilitating periods, digestive issues, a sluggish thyroid, a pituitary tumor, and perimenopause symptoms in her late 30s, she knows exactly what it’s like to get dismissed by doctors and spend years searching for answers. 
After making the decision to advocate for her health years ago and investing in her education, she changed her life. Now, she's changing the lives of countless women by teaching them to advocate for themselves and improve their hormone health, so they can feel and look their best -- in their 40s and beyond!
