Ohhh this is a good one. šŸ˜‚

Women over 40… I genuinely need to know if this happened to you too.

Because if THIS is something that comes with getting older, I am 100% here for it. šŸ˜‚

Watch and tell me — can you relate?!

The countdown is officially on… less than 2 weeks until freshman move-in. šŸ¤

I’ve really tried to soak up this summer and be excited for everything ahead of him. And I am. I know these last 18 years have prepared him for this next chapter.

But today? My mom heart is having a moment.

Soon I won’t hear his footsteps upstairs. His room will be quiet. The daily hugs… oh his hugs 🄹One piece of our everyday normal is about to look very different.

I know this is exactly what we raise them to do — grow up, become independent and go build a life of their own. But knowing that doesn’t make the letting go part any easier. 🄹

Moms who have already done this… how did you handle those last couple of weeks before move-in? Because I could use you right about now. šŸ¤

Life over 40 really should’ve come with a warning label. šŸ˜‚

Starting a new series because apparently there’s A LOT nobody thought to mention…

So ladies, let’s hear it šŸ‘‡šŸ¼ What’s one thing nobody warned YOU about after 40?

08/11/2026

šŸ”Š Sound up for this one. šŸ¤

Yesterday, a dear friend from middle school sent me this message.

35 years later, she still remembers a moment of kindness that I honestly probably didn’t think twice about at the time.

And now, as her own son walks into a new school knowing no one, she’s hoping someone will do the same for him. 🄹

What a reminder — especially as our kids head back to school — that the smallest things can stay with someone for a lifetime.

Tell your kids to notice the new kid.
Invite them to sit with you.
Say hi.
Be kind.

You never know what they’ll remember 35 years from now. šŸ¤

08/11/2026

Okay ladies… let’s talk love languages. šŸ’—

Mine is 100% acts of service — and apparently that applies to my entire family. šŸ˜‚

It doesn’t have to be big or romantic. Sometimes it’s the smallest things that make you feel the most seen and appreciated.

Now I want to hear yours…

What’s your love language? And what’s something your husband, partner, kids — whoever — does that makes you think, ā€œYep. THAT’S how you love me.ā€ šŸ„¹šŸ˜‚

Let’s hear them šŸ‘‡šŸ¼šŸ’—

If you survived the skinny eyebrow era… you already know. šŸ˜‚šŸ™‹šŸ¼ā€ā™€ļø

I’ve had my brows microbladed before, and this time I’m trying a different healing protocol — so far, I’m really happy with how they’re healing.

And listen… we don’t gatekeep around here. šŸ˜‚ If we’ve found something that works, we share it.

So ladies, help each other out šŸ‘‡šŸ¼

Microblading? Powder brows? Nano brows? Something else?

What did you LOVE? What would you never do again? And if you have a brow secret the rest of us need to know… SPILL IT. šŸ˜‚

We’re all just trying to recover from what we did to our eyebrows in the 90s and 2000s. šŸ¤¦šŸ¼ā€ā™€ļø

The Upgrade Project has always been about more than health. šŸ¤

It’s about this season of life — when you’re taking care of everyone else, trying to take care of yourself, and occasionally wondering… who is this person?

I want this to be a place where we can talk about all of it.

Health. Hormones. Marriage. Motherhood. Aging. Confidence. The things we’re learning, the things nobody warned us about, and the things we’re still figuring out.

No perfection. No pretending to have it all together.

The Upgrade Project is a place for real conversations, helpful information, a little humor, and women supporting women through this next chapter.

We’re not trying to go back to who we were.

We’re upgrading who we’re becoming. šŸ’—

And I’m so glad you’re here!

Sometimes the biggest upgrade is simply being willing to try something new—and trusting the right person to guide you through it. šŸ’™

Your health journey doesn’t have to be something you navigate alone. Sometimes you just need the right professional, the right plan, and someone in your corner who knows when to step in and help you move forward.

If you’re ready to stop guessing and start feeling like yourself again, let’s talk.

If you’re new here, welcome!

I’m Becky—the face behind The Upgrade Project.

I’m a Registered Nurse with experience in both traditional and functional medicine, but my greatest qualification isn’t just what I’ve learned in nursing—it’s what I’ve lived.

After an unexpected surgery in my 40s, I found myself searching for answers that went beyond ā€œwe don’t knowā€, ā€œit doesn’t make senseā€ and ā€œtake another med.ā€

That journey led me to functional medicine and completely changed the way I view health.

Now, I help women understand the why behind their symptoms so they can stop guessing and start feeling like themselves again. My passion is making health less overwhelming by combining science, practical lifestyle changes, and personalized strategies that actually fit real life.

A few things about me…
✨ Wife to my high school sweetheart.
✨ Mom to amazing kids.
✨ Lifelong learner.
✨Sports fanatic
✨ Travel points enthusiast who’s always planning the next adventure.
✨ Believer that small, consistent changes create extraordinary results.

Around here you’ll find honest conversations about hormones, gut health, longevity, specialized tools and testing, nutrition, movement, and everything in between—without the shame, fear, or fads.

I’m so glad you’re here. Follow along The Upgrade Project and .

I’d love to get to know you! Tell me what brought you to The Up look grade Project.

At 40, I thought I was doing everything right.

I was working out, eating healthy, and getting enough sleep.

Then an unexpected surgery sent my body spiraling.

Combined with all the changes that come in your 40s, it was simply too much for my body to handle. My bucket overflowed.

I was exhausted.
My clothes got tighter.
I had a crazy rash from head to toe. My emotions were all over the place.

I kept asking, ā€œWhat am I doing wrong?ā€

The question that changed everything was…

ā€œWhy is my body responding this way?ā€

That search for my why completely transformed my health—and ultimately became the reason I searched for better solutions and later created The Upgrade Project.

Today, I don’t help women chase perfection.

I help them understand their bodies, uncover the root cause of their symptoms, and upgrade their health from the inside out.

If you’ve been doing ā€œall the right thingsā€ but still don’t feel like yourself, maybe it’s time to stop asking what and start asking why.
