About Erin Sturm Strength and Metabolic Health
I’ve Lived the Changes You’re Trying to Navigate
I’m Erin — a mom of six, former paramedic, cancer survivor, and strength coach with over a decade of experience in the fitness industry.
​
For years, I taught women how to train hard, eat well, and stay consistent. And then my own body changed overnight.
​
Four years ago, I underwent a radical hysterectomy that sent me into immediate surgical menopause. The strategies I had trusted for years — the ones that had always worked — suddenly didn’t. My energy dropped, my body composition shifted, my recovery changed, and I felt like I was doing everything “right” with nothing to show for it.
That experience didn’t just change my body.
It changed my mission.
Why I Do This Work
I realized how unprepared most women are for the metabolic and hormonal shifts of midlife — and how often they blame themselves when their old methods stop working.
So I went back to the science.
​
I immersed myself in research on menopause, metabolism, strength training, nutrition, insulin resistance, and hormone health. I studied how the female body actually changes in midlife — not how it was taught 20 years ago.
​
What I built from that journey is the system I now use with my clients: a structured, diagnostic-first approach that addresses what’s truly blocking progress before jumping into workouts, diets, or medications.
​
Because midlife doesn’t mean your body is broken.
It means your strategy needs to change.
My Coaching Philosophy
I don’t believe in guesswork.
I don’t believe in punishing workouts or extreme diets.
And I don’t believe you should feel confused about your own body.
​
I believe women over 40 deserve:

A clear plan based on how their metabolism actually works

Nutrition that supports hormones, not fights them

Support that is structured, personalized, and sustainable

Honest, evidence-based education about hormone therapy and other tools

Strength training that builds muscle without burning them out
My role is to help you understand what’s happening inside your body — and then guide you step by step as we rebuild your metabolism in the right order.
More Than Coaching — It’s Advocacy
I’m also deeply committed to helping women make informed decisions about hormone therapy, peptides, and GLP-1 medications when appropriate. There is so much fear and misinformation around these tools.
​
You deserve facts, not pressure.
Clarity, not confusion.
Support, not shame.

science-based partnership focused on:
