Hi! I am Sonya...I want to start by sharing with you how I got here…  

It’s about 10am on a Monday morning. I can’t shake this feeling of doom and gloom hanging over me. I feel exhausted from just taking a shower. Not only that, but I am struggling to focus... I just feel this mounting anxiety...but it’s a different feeling that I haven’t had before. I should just push through this uncomfortable feeling, but I can’t... it’s getting worse. The room is spinning and wiggling. I just have to get myself down on the floor before I fall on my face or something. 

Here I sit...waiting for this weird feeling to pass. I look down at myself....it feels like I’m way up in the air...and I can see my body, but I don’t feel like I’m in it. I’m still getting farther and farther away. I’m kind of starting to freak out now. I want to get back up and go lie down in my bed. But it’s a struggle to get up...it’s like I am stuck. Almost like my limbs aren’t attached. My body looks all askew. My leg is twisted behind me and my arm is just dangling. And that’s when it hits me...that’s when I know. I am having a stroke and I am paralyzed. As I struggle to call for help as I am lying helpless on the floor...my mind starts racing through possible outcomes...

Suddenly, I face the fact I might die here on this floor. And if I don’t, I am quite certain life will never be the same again. I could live life in a wheelchair...in a nursing home. In that moment, I am not sure which option is worse.

And then, I open my eyes and realize I am alive! I am in ICU and I am in really rough shape. I am in pain. I am still paralyzed. I am hooked up to beeping machines and things that squeeze your legs. Everyone around me looks distressed. But... I am still here.
​

Surprisingly and amazingly, I survived.  
ot surprisingly, a lot  of damage - some permanent - was done.

I wanted to look and act and think as normal as I could. I didn’t want to struggle to walk. I didn’t want my speech to slur. I didn’t want to have memory issues. ….And I did not want to get fat. But, the trauma sent me into menopause, and between that and the pile of prescriptions I was taking...I found myself steadily gaining weight. 
​
My weight gain made me feel like I was in an alien suit! I tried every tip and trick, every diet and meal plan, even food delivery service...and I kept gaining weight while feeling hungry and crabby. Why should I suffer in food deprivation if it’s not going to make me lose any weight? I was frustrated and depressed. 

I started my quest to finally get to the bottom of my ever-expanding waistline. And do you want to know what I discovered?

I discovered that I had a lot more issues going on with my health than a pudgy tummy.

Weight gain turned out to be the outside, visible proof that I was really unhealthy on the inside.

I needed to get to the bottom of this before even more damage was done. I didn’t want diseases like diabetes and heart disease... or another stroke.

In the past, I was always willing to try any diet, any gimmick, any pill or potion to be the size I felt I needed to be. Healthy or not. Sustainable or not. And now the time had come for me to find real health! And guess what...the weight loss accelerated as my health improved.

I am Sonya Sullins, the creator of Happy Hormones, Healthy Life. As a Functional Health Coach and Speaker, I bring my message far and wide to help as many as I can live their best life. 

I have dedicated my life to research and learning, sorting through the myths to discover the truth, experimenting, biohacking, and documenting... I have been able to not only rebuild myself from the inside out, but also coach the very system that is proven and continues to help countless others to do the same with their health.  

Let’s join together in this movement to empower us all to push through the doubt, frustration and fear...and learn to boldly take our health and vitality back into our own hands.

Following the exact same method that I used, you will get the results that others just like you have.. you will:

• Love the skin you're in
  
• Feel confident and beautiful
  
• Have the mental clarity and physical energy to live with joy
  

I am so grateful to have a second chance at life!

I am so grateful to help you live your best life.

These are photos taken since I harnessed the power of Happy Hormones for a Healthy Life! 

I weigh nearly 70 pounds less than I did.
My blood pressure is nearly normal (without dependence on meds).
My blood sugar is amazing.
My mental focus and "bandwidth" is back.
And I am full of zest and zeal that I was once missing. 

Besides me, you see my "baby" Sebastian, and my husband, Jonathan.

I stopped living small and scared and decided that whatever it is, is good enough!

I am no longer trying to become who I one was...because maybe this version of me is even better, even happier and even more in line with her purpose that ever!
