She led brands as a former Fortune 500 marketer, founded four businesses and sold two, a journey that led to a White House consultation in wellness. At 47, everything changed at once: both parents died, her 12-year marriage ended, and she exited her second company. What followed was a radical life reversal across 5 continents – emerging from menopause at 52 in the best shape of her life. That journey became the foundation for the Hormetic Resilience Method™ – the science of becoming stronger through strategic challenge – and her longevity company b-untethered. At the heart of her work is a signature concept: Train & Travel ™ – Anissa uses adventure-based challenges, in combination with the 5 Hormetic Pillars (physical, metabolic, cognitive/emotional, environmental, and restorative), plus treatment modalities including peptide therapy and targeted supplementation, to help women craft personalized plans to build resilience, improve longevity, and age powerfully on their own terms. She holds an MBA and a BS from Cornell University, an Integrative Health Coaching certification from Duke Integrative Medicine, a holistic nutrition counseling certification (CHHC) from The Institute for Integrative Nutrition, and a personal training certification (CPT) from The National Academy of Sports Medicine. Prior to launching b-untethered, Buckley founded a nutrition company and developed the retail industry’s leading nutrition database, healthyAisles™ which scores grocery items for health claims. The business success led to an invitation to The White House to confer with President Obama’s chef on the Let’s Move program. The company was acquired in 2007. Prior, Buckley spent 15 years with Procter & Gamble, Sprint, and Birds Eye Foods. She also co-founded Real Life Food and Fitness, a fitness studio with fresh 500 calorie meals, HIIT fitness classes and health coaching under one roof which was acquired in 2015. https://b-untethered.com/ https://www.instagram.com/p/DYj3Rv3BoUw/ https://www.instagram.com/buntethered/ https://www.facebook.com/buntethered/ https://www.tiktok.com/@buntethered?lang=en Are you eager to explore more about health and wellness?
