ESCAPE CORPORATE BURNOUT, IGNITE CHANGES, OPTIMIZE YOUR HEALTH & FEEL IN CONTROL AGAIN
This is more than simply health coaching.
It's the Horstmann Method.
Uncover H.I.D.D.E.N. Stressors
Optimize Health & Lose Weight
Regain Energy & Get Stronger/Fit
Are You Exhausted, Struggling with Weight, and Out of Shape? Admittedly, You're Not Surprised Because You've Been...
- Prioritizing pursuits of [work] performance and productivity that put your health on the back burner
- Sabotaging your health by overworking yourself with no time left for exercising, fun, proper sleep and self-care
- Relying on coffee and sugar to combat your fatigue, and taking self-sabotaging habits to deal with daily stress
- Discouraged because diets and workout plan haven't worked, new ones aren't working, and you have not motivation or energy to follow through
- Taking OTC meds for digestion, energy, and painkillers, just to cover up the symptoms
- Grabbing quick processed meals to save time between meetings and family obligations
- Skipping meals because you’re stressed and busy, but then later you binge on “whatever” is available, which is often unhealthy
- Worried the habits have slipped through your fingers, along with your sense of control and the freedom from having to think about your health
Is the reason you haven’t accomplished your goals because
YOU DIDN'T HAVE A PERSONAL COACH
AND A SYSTEM?
Your health has spun so out of control and now you're overwhelmed, confused, and feeling stuck
- Weight gain/weight loss resistance
- Always tired and get sick often
- Bloating, gas, constipation, reflux
- Thyroid and metabolism issues
- Pre-diabetes, insulin resistance
- Trouble falling/staying asleep
- PCOS, infertility, irregular cycles
- Blood pressure and cholesterol problems
- Headaches, migraines, congestion
- Depression, irritability, anxiety
- Low sex drive, hormone imbalances, PMS
- Food sensitivities, skin issues
- Muscle weakness, low stamina, poor balance
But you can’t keep living this way, dealing with these symptoms, pushing through, and just hoping they magically get better. The ‘take this for that’ approach isn’t working. Your time is precious and you want to make the most of it. You’re DONE with the EXCUSES. You’re ready to take ACTION and stop making suboptimal diet and lifestyle decisions. Your body is taking a hit. But you’re NOT sure about where to begin [again] and what’s really going to help.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO FEEL STUCK. THAT'S WHERE I COME IN!
Hi, I’m Maria Horstmann and I’m a Certified Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner (FDN-P) – aka “Health Detective”, a Board Certified Functional Wellness Professional (BCFWP), an Insulin Resistance Coach, and a Personal Trainer.
WE CARE
I empower driven, health-oriented professionals, to get to the bottom of their health, weight, and metabolic issues, using the Horstmann Method breakthrough system approach of optimizing their blood sugar, inflammation, and cortisol/HPA Axis. This way, you can restore vitality while supporting the body’s innate healing abilities.
I’ve been where you are. I’ve worked in corporate and pushed myself consistently. I had no ‘true’ energy and without noticing, I abandoned my health. Instead, I used caffeine and sugar to keep me going.
I’m a former sugar addict, prediabetic, and insulin-resistant who suffered from various digestive issues, emotional eating, and an eating disorder.
But I transformed my health and lifestyle…
…once I realized it was about making progress, not being perfect. Seeing the DATA (my body’s ins and outs) and knowing the WHY helped me believe, trust, leap forward, and stay on course.
Are You Struggling To Lose Stubborn Weight and Belly Fat?
You know there is more to the ‘Calories in, Calories out’ and ‘Eat Less, Exercise More’ models
Maybe you’ve tried all sorts of diets, and exercise programs, taken supplements, been to doctors, and haven’t received any ‘right’ answers. You’ve even tried weight loss pills or products to improve your metabolism. All the strategies that used to work are just not working anymore. You want to stop the Trial-and-Error Cycle and join a path that will get you long-term results.
It’s because you have gained appreciation for all that your body does for you daily that you’re willing to do what it takes to prolong your vitality and thrive [again].
It's Time to Try the "Horstmann Weight Loss PILL"
The only Weight Loss P.I.L.L. that will transform your weight and health naturally
Personal Responsibility
When you expect happiness to come from “the system,” you have less reason to take the steps that would trigger it.”
Inspiration
If you don’t make time for your wellness, you will be forced to make time for your illness. We have choices, don’t we?
Lifestyle
You’re biochemically unique. Your physiology, demands in life, genetics, behaviors/actions family history, vital reserve.
Laughter
Laughter make your physical and emotional response to stress less intense by activating neural pathways of emotions.
My friend, one more thing. Remember...
"We Need a Healthy Body to Have a Healthy Weight"
Excess weight/fat, symptoms, and abnormal lab/test results are not the real health problems; they are the end result of imbalances and dysfunction upstream in the body.
If you‘ve been struggling with issues for some time, are you ready to dig deeper so we can help you improve communication within your body and get healthier to lose weight?

What our Clients are Saying...
Take Control Of Cravings, Sugar, Carb Addiction
“At 55 y/o my joints were aching, my diet wasn’t working anymore. First, Maria taught me that weight loss is physical and mental. She pushed me to do things I’d have never done on my own. She saw potential in me and wanted me to see it too. I lost 28.4 lbs in her 90-day Blood Sugar Program. Maria also taught me to love myself more and put myself first. It’s not always easy, but I’ve realized that I’m worth it. She’s truly my life-saving coach.”–Kathy Thacker
An Integrative Healing Approach Post Quadruple Bypass
“We met 2 weeks before my quadruple bypass. We talked about nutrition before/post the surgery. God got me home and Maria came over 2 days after. We started with stretches and progressed from there. In 6.5 months, Maria got me ready to climb a 12,000-foot mountain! Maria, as a health coach, I think it’s hard to find someone that is caring, wants that success for you and is able to give you all the tools to succeed.” — Brian Mendel
Change Your Life By Discovering Yourself
“Maria will help you change your life! She helped me change mine and was an incredible motivator, listener, and coach. I discovered and reversed why I comforted myself with food and unhealthy behaviors. I lost 30 lbs and have kept it off with the new habits, but more important than the weight loss, I have gained an entirely new appreciation for myself and a confidence that has improved many aspects of my life.” — Mary Severs

“How To Become Vital And Energetic At Any Age!” featuring Maria Horstmann – Dan Jourdan Podcast
I had the great pleasure of being a guest on Dan Jourdan’s podcast “Sales Energizer”. We had a great podcast interview on different topics on health and wellness, including the
Bones Need Mobility, Balance & Strength
If you missed the discussion/presentation on Bone Health, check out the replay HERE. Many people don’t think much about their bones and don’t think there’s much to them. The topic isn’t “exciting”. If
Oi, I am Maria Horstmann!
I am a certified FDN-P, aka health detective, a Board Certified Functional Wellness Professional (BCFWP), a personal trainer, and the host of the “Be Fab – Be You Made Simple” podcast. I love prioritizing my health so I can feel energized, healthy, and confident in life. I feel FREE!
But that wasn’t always the case. I struggled with yo-yo dieting, sugar addiction, prediabetes, G.I. issues, and eating disorders until my late 30s. I didn’t know or understood how my choices were affecting me.
Until one day, I sat down and had a come-to-Jesus-moment. It was time to become a better version of myself. I realized that the traditional medical system uses symptoms to run specific tests and use out-of-range results to diagnose and prescribe medications. I wanted to break the cycle that ran in my family. I adopted the ‘opt-in self-care model’. It worked!
If you’re ready to take back control of your health, get to the root cause of your unsuccessful steps, manage life stressors, and create space for growth so you live independently and age gracefully, I want to meet with you. Let’s make a personalized plan for you to achieve your wellness goals, optimize your health, and feel great again.
Making a difference in someone’s life and helping them transform challenges into opportunities for growth is what gets me up in the morning.
P.S. I’m Brazilian-born and although I’ve lived in the USA since 1996, my English is not perfect. If you have a grammar phobia, ouch! When you catch my grammatical errors, tell me directly. Obrigada!
