The Secret Superpower of My Female Clients
It’s a fact: around 90% of the incredible individuals I work with are women. And no, it’s not because my methods don’t deliver exceptional results for men — they absolutely do!
But, in my experience, there’s a powerful pattern that emerges within my female clientele. There’s a particular energy, a distinct approach, that I’ve noticed in the women who commit to transforming their health. It’s less about a grand declaration and more about a quiet, persistent strength.
They often share a unique set of traits that makes them incredibly successful in transforming their health:
They’re the Health Architects of their own lives. They don’t simply float along, hoping for the best. Instead, they pick up the blueprints, asking, “Why?” They want to get to the root cause of what they’re feeling, truly understanding their body’s whispers rather than just silencing them. It’s a proactive curiosity that I deeply admire.
They listen to their inner compass. That subtle gut feeling, that knowing deep down that something isn’t quite right — they don’t dismiss it. They honor their intuition and act upon it, often catching imbalances before they blossom into bigger struggles. It’s a powerful act of self-trust.
Their commitment is unwavering. Once they decide to embark on this journey, they’re truly in. They understand that lasting health isn’t about quick fixes but about consistent, loving attention. They follow through, they show up for themselves, day after day.
They’re often the wellness anchors for their families. This is something truly special. The knowledge, the recipes, the mindful habits they cultivate aren’t confined to their own plate or their own routine. They naturally radiate that wisdom outwards, nourishing their loved ones and creating a ripple effect of health through their homes. It’s truly inspiring to witness.
They see health as a lifelong relationship, not a fleeting affair. They grasp that the insights and tools we explore together aren’t just for a moment in time, but fundamental wisdom they can carry and apply for decades to come, adapting and growing with every season of life.
Now, while these are my personal observations from the heart of my practice, it’s fascinating to see how they echo in the broader world. Public health research consistently shows that:
Women are often the pioneers of preventative care. They are significantly more likely to engage with doctors for check-ups and screenings — sometimes 69% more often than men. It speaks volumes about that proactive, root-cause seeking spirit.*
When it comes to the family, women often hold the reins of health decisions. In fact, studies suggest women make an estimated 80% of healthcare choices for their households. It’s a testament to their role as nurturing forces, extending their quest for well-being to those they cherish most.*
There’s a natural inclination towards learning. Research confirms women are generally more engaged in seeking out health-related information, truly wanting to understand how to live a vibrant life.*
It makes you wonder: who is truly seeing the full picture of the world? Is it the men, rushing past the details, or the women, quietly tuning into the vital, rhythmic pulse of their lives?
