A common misconception about soy foods is that they promote breast cancer growth due to their phytoestrogens. However, there are two different types of estrogen receptors in the body—alpha and beta receptors. Soy phytoestrogens bind to and activate beta receptors, which have an anti-estrogenic effect, inhibiting the growth-promoting effects of actual estrogen. This is something we’ve known for more than ten years. So, where did this outdated notion that soy could increase breast cancer risk come from? A study on mice. It turns out, though, that we are not mice. Watch the video "Is Soy Healthy for Breast Cancer Survivors?" at http://bit.ly/2pEBUAe to learn more.

Why does your stomach stick out after 30… even if you don’t eat much?

Most women think it’s just about food.

But there are 3 deeper reasons:

• weak deep core muscles
• poor posture
• constant tension in the body

When you fix this,
your stomach doesn’t need to be “forced” to go in.
It starts changing naturally.
I’ll show you how.

ABOUT ME 🩷

Hi, I’m Olia — wife, mom of two, wellness coach, Pilates trainer, plant-based foodie, essential oil educator… and a woman who decided she wants the next chapter of her life to be lived fully awake. 🌱

I teach women how to feel strong, feminine, youthful, calm, and powerful — through movement, plant-based nourishment, oils, lymphatic work, embodiment rituals, and tiny daily upgrades that compound into transformation.

My goal is to bring more life into people’s lives through Pilates and movement, and to help you live longer and better through healthy nutrition habits.

I believe beauty is a lifestyle. Energy is a choice. And our children absorb who we are, not what we say.

I’m building a legacy that my kids can feel. Not money only — but emotional wealth. Health. Strength. Softness + discipline living in the same body.

If you’re here — welcome to my world. It’s Pilates + anti-aging + plant-based living + motherhood + glow-up rituals. Everything I do… I experiment on myself first. ✨

This family is my “why.” Every day I choose to become a woman my children are proud to have as their mother — and a wife to my husband who lives the very philosophy I teach inside Awaken the Goddess Within — soft, strong, aligned, and fully alive. ✧

If you’re in your own evolution — you’re in the right place. Let’s build the next version of you together! 🩷✨

I’ve been vegetarian for most of my life (since I was 5!) and now I’m turning vegan. I’m obsessed with essential oils and Greenolicious products for clean, toxic-free, vibrant living. Every day, I aim to inspire healthy habits and joyful routines, both in my studio and online.

Unhealthy diets are by far our greatest risk factor for disease and death. However, physical activity is important for our health and longevity and should be encouraged as part of an overall healthy lifestyle.

Population studies have found a correlation between regular aerobic exercise and decreased risk of at least 35 different diseases, including heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and cancer.

Physical activity can help lower inflammation, as well as decrease DNA damage and facilitate DNA repair. A meta-analysis of cohort studies of middle-aged and older individuals, with follow-ups as long as 20 years, found that exercising adults were more likely to age successfully than sedentary individuals.

Exercise may also improve cognition, enhance mood, and generally improve quality of life. The evidence supporting the overall health benefits of physical activity are overwhelming.
Exercise is such powerful medicine that researchers at Stanford and the London School found that exercise may work as well as drugs for patients with coronary heart disease, heart failure, and pre-diabetes––and even better than some medications for stroke.

Just like any medicine, though, might exercise have an upper limit for benefitting our health and longevity? I cover that in the video “How Much Exercise Is Too Much?” at https://buff.ly/3WpGv6Z

Walking is among the safest of physical activities, averaging only about one injury per thousand hours. So if you are just getting started with lifestyle changes, consider walking. For even more health benefits, take a walk in a wooded park for the added benefits of boosting your anticancer immunity.

Always consult your doctor before making any changes to your medication or exercise routine.
