Sharing the details about my signature wellness program for moms 40+ who are ready to get their Spark back. Book your clarity call here.
Hi friends! How are you and how’s the week going?
I’m here in San Diego getting ready to celebrate the big 4-2 with our Kleiger fam, but in the meantime, I wanted to share a little gift with youuuu.
If you’ve been following along on Instagram or reading my emails, you’ve probably seen me mention SPARK. I realized I’ve never actually written a blog post about it, so today I’m sharing what it is, how it works, who it’s for, and the birthday gift I’m giving to anyone who joins this month.
Why I created SPARK
Some of you have been here since the early blogging days, so you know my health hasn’t always been smooth sailing. I worked through struggles getting pregnant, then postpartum recovery, and then a few years ago, a cascade of symptoms that had me completely stumped: histamine flares, eye flares that woke me up in the middle of the night, random stress rashes, and soul-crushing fatigue. My hair was falling out in clumps, I cried a lot, and literally felt like a shell of myself.
I went to doctors three days in a row and nobody had answers. I tried steroid drops, antibiotic drops, steroid creams, and pretty much every eye product at Walgreens.
Then my PCP called to tell me I had positive Lupus markers, and that was my breaking point, until I took matters into my own hands.
Functional lab testing changed everything for me. Once I could see what was going on (parasites, gut imbalances, and a nervous system stuck in emergency mode), I had a real plan. Over the next 6-9 months, the flares and rashes went away, my energy came back, and my Lupus markers came back negative. (ANA and dsDNA.) The remained negative for two years, and I remained almost entirely symptom-free (a few fluke flares over the years, but nothing like it was before).
This year, those markers popped back up. Instead of panicking, I went back to the work, and my latest labs just came back negative again. I’m sharing that because healing doesn’t always go in a straight line, and having a plan makes a huge difference when things come back.
After years of coaching and two levels of Integrative Health Practitioner training, I built SPARK to give women the roadmap I wish I’d had.
Who SPARK is for
SPARK is for health-conscious women in their 40s who feel like their body stopped responding to the habits that used to work.
If you’re nodding along to any of these, it might be for you:
You’re exhausted even after a full night of sleep (or you can’t remember the last time you slept through the night)
You’ve gained weight that won’t budge, even though you’re eating well and working out
You feel puffy and inflamed, or you’re suddenly reacting to foods that never bothered you before
Your libido has completely disappeared
You have mystery symptoms like rashes, joint pain, hair loss or brain fog that nobody can explain
Your supplement cabinet is overflowing and you have no idea which ones are actually helping
Your labs came back “normal,” but you know something is off
The woman I work with best is the friend everyone asks for wellness recommendations. She’s the “healthy friend,” and has done her research and she’s tried a lot, and she’s tired of guessing.
How SPARK works
SPARK is a 4-month 1:1 coaching program built around your body, your symptoms, and your lab results.
Here’s what it looks like from start to finish.
1. Apply and book a Clarity Call. You’ll fill out a short application, then we’ll hop on a call to talk through what’s going on and whether SPARK is the right fit. If it isn’t, I’ll tell you. This is an important component because I only work with women who are truly committed to making positive changes are are action-takers.
2. Your intake session. This is a deep dive where I hear your whole story: your health history, your symptoms, your goals, and what you’ve already tried. We’ll also choose your lab testing together and get you set up with food logging so we have real data from day one.
3. Functional lab testing. Your labs are customized to your symptoms, so you won’t get a one-size-fits-all panel. Results usually take about 4-6 weeks.
4. Your lab review and roadmap. This is my favorite part. We go through your results together so you finally understand why you feel the way you do, and you get a personalized 90-day roadmap with exactly what to focus on.
5. Ongoing support. For the rest of the program, you’re not doing this alone. You’ll have twice-weekly office hours, direct messaging with me between sessions, and a weekly check-in every Sunday where you rate your sleep, energy, digestion, mood and libido so we can track your progress.
What’s included:
A 1:1 intake session
Customized functional lab testing
A 1:1 lab review session
Your personalized 90-day roadmap
A 7-day functional medicine detox
Twice-weekly office hours
Direct messaging with me between sessions
Weekly Signal Check progress tracking
Your SPARK toolkit, including a Symptom Checklist, Root Map and Flare Response Plan
Access to Spark Academy, my video library for SPARK clients
What makes SPARK different
You’ve probably tried a lot of things already.
Here’s what I do differently:
We test first. Every recommendation is based on your results, which means no more buying supplements because they worked for someone on Instagram.
It’s built for real life. I’m a mom, too. Your plan has to fit around school drop-offs, work deadlines and soccer practice, or it won’t last.
Movement supports your healing. If hard workouts leave you feeling worse, we’ll build a strategy that matches what your body can handle right now and progress from there.
Your nervous system is part of the plan. One of the biggest lessons from my own healing is that it’s really hard to heal your gut in a stressed-out body. We work on both.
The birthday gift 
Ok, here’s the fun part!
To celebrate my birthday, anyone who books a Clarity Call by Sunday, November 15 and joins SPARK gets to choose a gift from me to support their health journey:
A walking pad for easy daily movement at home
An Oura ring to track your sleep and recovery (it syncs with my client portal, so I can see your trends too)
A Lumebox for red light therapy at home
A few details:
Your call just needs to be on the books by November 15. The call itself can happen the following week.
Whether you pay in full or use the payment plan, the gift is yours.
Your gift ships after your intake call.
The timing is a big part of why I wanted to do this now. If you start this month, your labs will be in motion before the holidays, and you’ll head into January with answers and a plan instead of another round of resolutions.
FAQs
Is SPARK virtual?
Yes! All of our sessions happen online, so you can join from anywhere. I work with wellness clients all over the world.
Do I need to stop seeing my doctor?
Not at all. SPARK works alongside your regular care and I ask that any of my suggestions are approved by your PCP.
How much does SPARK cost?
We’ll go over the investment on your Clarity Call. There’s a pay-in-full option and a monthly payment plan.
What if I’ve already done lab work?
Bring it! We’ll look at everything you already have and choose testing that fills in the gaps.
How do I know if it’s right for me?
That’s exactly what the Clarity Call is for. We’ll talk through your symptoms and your goals, and I’ll be honest about whether SPARK is a good fit and if I think I may be able to help.
Thank you so much for being here, whether you’ve been reading since the early days or you just found me.
Helping women feel like themselves again is a pretty great way to celebrate another trip around the sun.
xo,
Gina
