8 weeks of LIVE coaching to help you balance your hormones & finally lose that stubborn weight.
Real talk: You’re ready to lose that excess weight.
Real(er) talk: You’ve BEEN ready to lose it for a looooong time now.
You’ve read all the books, you’ve tried all the diets, you’ve done all the cleanses (or at least thought about them… that counts, right?)…
We start on October 16th. Space is limited.
But whenever you get on that scale:
The number doesn’t BUDGE.
Cue: tears, giving up, and eating an
entire chocolate cake because #effit.
Or maybe the scale does move, but NOT in the direction you were hoping for. (DOWN, NOT UP, FOR THE LOVE OF CUPCAKES!)
Or maybe you don’t even know your weight right now (#scalepanic) but you DO know that your pants certainly aren’t getting any looser.
Meanwhile, MORE than ANYTHING, you just want to...
- Slip into your skinny jeans and feel more like a supermodel, and less like a stuffed sausage. (Just zip, don’t breathe. Air is overrated.)
- Love your body enough to ENJOY being naked, because it isn’t really happening when you’re hiding under the covers shouting “don’t touch me!”
- Final, y have the energy to workout, slay your to-do list, and chase your kids around a playground (without getting winded, exhausted, or grumpy).
But first, let’s face it: You’ve got that weight to lose.
Whether it’s 100 pounds or 4 kilos, it’s there — hanging around like that creepy ex-boyfriend who refuses to move on. Except, unlike your creepy ex-boyfriend, you can’t file a restraining order against your excess weight. (Dammit!) All you can do is shake your fist at the ceiling, yelling…
“Why is losing weigh so damn HARD?”
Since you asked, I’ll tell you some of the reasons you already know…
Food is delicious.
Isn’t it though? If you’re anything like me (or anyone I want to be friends with), you ENJOY eating. It’s pleasurable, and some foods are downright amazing, in their own rite. But, if you’re basing ALL of your food choices on the yum-factor ALONE, you’re not likely to see the scale budge.
Cravings are real.
Raise your hand if you get random hankerings or hangry “must haves.” Chocolate, cheese, coffee, carbs, wine, bread, candy, etc. etc. etc. The list goes on and on. You know that you need to get a handle on your cravings in order to lose the weight — but how?!
Yes, we all eat our feelings.
We ALL do. Even me. (I’ll admit it.) Food is a sensory experience, so it’s only natural that it would create an emotional response. The downside to this is it’s wayyy to easy to lean on food for emotional needs. Do you eat when you’re bored, lonely, sad, anxious, stressed? Well, it’s all okay, because you’re in the right place.
“Diets” don’t work.
This one’s simple. Nothing that’s supposed to work as a short-term solution is going to be sustainable. What you want is lasting weight loss, and a lifestyle where managing and maintaining your ideal weight comes naturally. Unfortunately, diets will only put you in a restrictive mindset — which has a reverse effect, leading to unhealthy diet-binge cycles and rebound weight gain!
And some of the reasons you might not know #science…
Female hormones & stress don’t vibe well.
Yeah, they’re basically like an old, married couple who should have gotten divorced decades ago. Stress gets angry and yells. Hormones shut down and stop caring. I’m oversimplifying here, but you get the point. Some chronic sources of stress are things you don’t even realize are leading to increased cortisol levels (which causes belly fat), and increased estrogen (which causes stubborn fat around the hips, thighs and bum).
Unknown health issues linger.
Other chronic health issues have a major impact on your weight too. If your digestion isn’t rocking, if you have any symptoms of hormone imbalance (PCOS, fibroids, etc), or if you’re chronically tired – that’s a sign that something is OFF. All of your weight loss efforts will not work unless you address the underlying health issue.
Attachment: it’s a thing.
Like it or not, your weight has been with you for a while, so there may be underlying emotional reasons that it’s stuck around. Maybe the thought of finally losing the weight doesn’t feel “safe” to you for one reason or another. Until you can unlock the attachment code, making the changes and sticking with them will feel (and be) impossible.
Because change is scary.
You’re used to your weight, am I right? You might not like it, but at this point it’s kind of like an old friend. The relationship has hit a standstill but you can’t still seem to let go. This makes it harder for both you (psychologically) and your body (physiologically) to say “bye bye.”
The thing is, in order to lose the weight, you MUST be willing to change.
And you want change, don’t you? As hard and scary as it is…
Think about it.
WHAT WILL YOU DO WHEN YOU FINALLY LOSE THE WEIGHT?
I have some ideas in case you don’t know.
Maybe you’ll…
- Take big, scary leaps in your career once you’re finally willing to become more visible because you’re actually comfortable in your own skin.
- Put yourself out there romantically for dates or to ignite a fresh spark in your existing relationship with your newfound body confidence.
- Go shopping for clothes that excite you and make you feel amazing now that the fashionable options you want to wear actually fit!Play with your kids for an entire afternoon – and still have the energy to prepare a healthy dinner for yourself, and your whole family. (Dreams!)
- Get more shit done from day to day – and I don’t just mean in the bathroom, although that WILL be an added perk. (#poopmatters)
Sigh…
Listen, I want all of that for you.
I want you to have the tools you need to take massive control over your weight. I want you to look and feel amazing because I believe that you deserve that. All women do.
That’s why I created The Shed.
The Shed is an 8-week-long live coaching program that will provide you with everything you need to balance your hormones and lose that extra weight.
The Shed provides both noticeable results and sustainable change. Because we’re not just treating the symptoms, we’re getting to the root. Because we’re not just providing one solution, we’re providing all of them.
Curious how The Shed works?
- I’ll provide you with guidelines for what to eat and how to live for optimal hormonal health that results in weight loss.
- I’ll help YOU reconnect to YOUR body with LIVE weekly masterclasses, personal feedback, and invaluable tools.
- You’ll slip on your skinnies (or slip them off and start having better play-time! Teehee!).
We start on October 16th. Space is limited.
By now, you might be wondering who I am, so let me stop being rude and properly introduce myself.
I’m Melissa Ramos, founder of Sexy Food Therapy, creator of SLB (my hormone balancing membership program), & nutritionist with a background in Chinese medicine. What all of those fancy titles really mean is this: I help women balance their hormones and get their health in check so they can lose weight, increase their fertility, regulate their periods, shrink their cysts, boost their energy, feel and look HOT A F, and of course: POOP like rock stars. Hey, they don’t call me “the Poop Whisperer” for nothin’.
In short, I’m here to make the confusing science of nutrition and supplementation easy for you, complete with massive doses of compassion and humor. Because love and laughter is also medicinal. 😉
“So far, I have lost about 14 pounds and 1-4 inches in different areas.”
When I measured myself to start the two-month program, it was very surprising that I had gained so much weight. I could not blame anyone but myself for the weight gain. So, I decided that I need to make changes in all aspects of my life – spiritually, physically, dietary and mentally. If I was going to do this, I needed to commit fully. Change brings results. Now get up at 5am to exercise, I make good food choices, and I have walked away from those who are not good influences in my life.
The Shed wasn’t just about weight loss for me. It was a journey of self discovery. It has taught me that I control what I eat. Now, I talk openly about my food choices and I ask for what I want at a restaurant. It doesn’t matter what others think, what is important is my health and well being. My family and friends have seen such a difference in me. So far, I have lost about 14 pounds and 1-4 inches in different areas. Now I love exercising and can do exercises I never thought I could do when I first got started. Through all of this I have learned that I am so so worth it!
I am so happy with the changes in me. Life really is a journey and what you put out there is what you get back. Thanks Melissa for all your help. I have learned so much and appreciate all the encouragement and motivation.

When I joined the program had been searching for months for a more real solution to my weight issues. After years of that cycle of dieting, loosing the weight and gaining it back plus all the issues associated with it I had had enough. My focus started to shift, a bit before the Shed, from loosing weight to being healthy. I did not know what healthy nutrition meant and following what I had learnt as a child seemed counterintuitive to me. I found Melissa through Facebook. What she was saying: “balancing hormones” sparked something in me! Hearing that my emotional imbalances could be caused by poor nutrition choices gave me so much hope and felt right! (so many years hearing that this is just how women are disempowered me for sure). So I decided to join The Shed! A new stage in my life began after these two months.
During the program I lost 11.4lbs, 4% body fat and 7.5inches overall. My energy levels went from, in average, almost never having any at all to finding energy 90% of the time. I can wake up early without hating the world, meditate, do yoga, go to work, exercise and run errands most of the time now.
I learned how important is to have a support system. So many women in the group that could relate to each other and that would support each other. When we come together we can accomplish so much!

So what makes The Shed different from every other weight loss program out there?
- Live Coaching. Every week you’ll get a LIVE call with either myself or a guest expert and you’ll be able to bring up anything and everything, get answers, support, and custom guidance.
- It’s holistic and all-encompassing. Over 8 weeks, we’ll address both the biological and emotional obstacles to weight loss, including…
- Hormones and how to balance them with food, supplements, and lifestyle changes. So if you’ve been struggling with insulin-resistant PCOS, unexplained weight gain after peri-menopause, or thyroid conditions that have made weight stick to you like glue – we’re going to address those conditions, finally, so you can lose that weight.
- Digestion and how to eat, hydrate, and supplement your body for regular, healthy poops! Because who doesn’t feel lighter after a good poop?! (I’m just sayin’…)
- Stress-management because no amount of “healthy eating” can fix the damages of chronic stress. If you’ve been stressed, your adrenals will be TOAST, causing exhaustion, weight gain, and tons of sugar cravings – so we’re going to help you get those adrenals back on track.
- Mindset because if you can’t master this, you won’t be able to stick with the program.
- Emotions to ensure they’re not blocking you from your goals by causing excessive or unhealthy eating.
Let's cut through the fat here:
The Shed is the only online program of its kind that provides coaching & advice from a LIVE professional nutritionist, topical weight loss masterclasses, and detailed recipe books with suggested meal plans, shopping lists, and cooking tutorials – all-in-one.
This is not just another diet and exercise program.
This program was designed to hold your hand throughout the entire process of balancing your hormones to lose weight. From how to use the detailed protocols, to the key components of hormone-based weight loss, to providing you with a support group and access to both ME and another on-call nutritionist – so you’ll get everything you need for any questions that may come up.
Let’s tell that weight to take a hike, shall we?
We start on October 16th. Space is limited.
“Working with Melissa taught me how to love myself again. And when that clicked for me, the pounds almost melted off.”
I work in the entertainment industry, in front of a camera, and I couldn’t stand what I saw when watched myself on TV. I had been struggling with what felt like sudden weight gain since the beginning of 2016. My body didn’t feel like mine anymore. I didn’t recognize myself in the mirror, let alone how I felt in my clothes! My self-esteem suffered, my sleep suffered, my outlook on life started to become very negative. The negative thoughts were absolutely out of control. It was my goal to not only lose those pesky pounds, but more than that I needed to feel like myself again.
It didn’t seem to matter how much I tried I could not lose those extra pounds. Working with Melissa on balancing my hormones was the only thing that started to work. This program is so easy to follow, it introduces new habits that are accessible and are game-changers. Not to mention the support from Melissa through every stage. Was it always easy? No, but nothing worth having comes without a little hard work. And it didn’t take long for that hard work to become second nature.
Working with Melissa taught me how to love myself again. And when that clicked for me, the pounds almost melted off. The connection between mind and body is so powerful. I’m so happy with the results, not only the physical change I see in the mirror or when I put on my favorite jeans, but the emotional shift and change that has happened is invaluable. My confidence has returned and maybe even grown a little! I’m happier, brighter, and lighter (in more ways than one). I can’t say enough about this program! It turned my year around! And I now have tools to go to when I feel myself slipping. INVALUABLE!

Coming into this two-month program, I was hoping to see some more energy and some fat loss. What I came away with was much more than that. I did experience more energy, many inches lost and a better mood. I was also able to walk my kids to their bus stop without losing my breath as I had been doing. My increase in energy was noticeable as I could do more tasks in a day than I have in a long time. My friends noticed my shrinking size and said that I was glowing. I didn’t only benefit from this but so did my family. They have a happier Mom now. Thank you Melissa!

Who is The Shed for?
- Kick-ass women who want to gain control over their appetite and cravings and finally lose the weight.
- Bombshells who are motivated to make a positive change in their life, health, and bodies.
- Women who know that they have hormone imbalances that are causing weight deposition to stay put.
- Ladies who’ve tried Paleo or Vegan diets, detoxes, or juice cleanses but can’t seem to maintain consistent results. Their weight is either a constant game of up and down, or they’ve hit a plateau that they can’t seem to break through.
We start on October 16th. Space is limited.
“The Shed helped me lose that stubborn weight that didn't seem to be moving regardless of what I did.”
Loved The Shed! I loved the support from Melissa as well as fellow members. It took about a week to get used to incorporating more healthy fats into my diet but now it has become my way of eating. After two months it has definitely changed the shape of my body, so much so that I had to buy all new pants! The Shed helped me lose that stubborn weight that didn’t seem to be moving regardless of what I did. It has definitely improved my self-confidence to no longer worry about that roll above my waistband!

Before I started the program I was frustrated! After the birth of my son, I developed Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis and found it nearly impossible to keep weight off – even though I had already lost 100 pounds previous to that! I just kept gaining and losing the same ten pounds over and over again. I wasn’t sure what else to do. I joined Melissa’s program in the hopes that I could jumpstart my metabolism again. After 60 days, I finally broke through that set point and finally feel like I’m on the right track again! On top of that, I completely redefined my relationship with food! I stopped overindulging, rarely felt hungry between meals, and for the first time I feel in control of food rather than food controlling me. Melissa doesn’t just tell you what to do, she teaches you why, which helps to reinforce the habits you want to create. The Shed is a must for any woman who’s struggled with hormonal weight loss issues!

Ready to get shedding?
Let’s do it
We start on October 16th. Space is limited.
And now... all the A's to your Q's.
-
When are the LIVE masterclasses?
We’ll be meeting 4 times throughout the 8 weeks. You’ll receive the full breakdown of when each call and class takes place, and all the details you’ll need to attend.
-
What if I can’t make the LIVE masterclasses or calls?
Well darlin’ I’ve got you covered! You’ll receive each class and call as a recording so you can watch them whenever, wherever suits you best. You’ll even be able to submit your questions in advance so you make sure I cover them on the live call. The point is this: You will be taken care of, no matter when you’re able to attend.
-
What if I do the program and don’t lose ANY weight? I’ve tried SO many things before. How do I know this will work?
If you’ve reviewed what other women have had to say about this program, you’ll see that it WORKS. Not only that, but it helps women improve multiple other areas of their life and health – giving them energy, confidence, and regular digestion (because we ALL know you feel better when you POOP, am I right?).
Also true: signing up for The Shed isn’t going to work for you if you purchase the program and do NONE of the work.
I’ll be frank with you: the program will work IF you do the work.
-
What’s your refund policy?
We don’t offer any refunds. Once you sign up, you’re in and you’re committed. You’ll receive immediate access to all of the program materials which cannot be returned, and you’ll get my continued support and coaching throughout the 8 weeks, plus the support of the group. If you’re not prepared to do the work, then I’d recommend you wait to sign up until you are truly ready to commit.
-
How much weight will I lose?
Now, this is a question I can’t answer because this is different for every woman. It all depends on your physiology, hormones, stress levels, digestion – and how quickly your body adapts and heals. Women who have done this program have reported a loss of up to 14 pounds, which is aggressive for an 8-week program! That being said, you could lose just a few pounds on the scale but find that your clothes are fitting better and you look and feel amazing. Why? Because The Shed was designed to reduce your overall body fat, inflammation, and old crap (literally!) that’s weighing you down too!
-
Are supplements included?
No, I wish I could include them for you! But, as I am a nutritionist and coach, and not a supplement distributor, I simply cannot. What this program DOES include is 8 weeks of live online COACHING calls and masterclasses, PLUS your custom protocol, recommended meal plan, lifestyle recommendations, shopping list, and even a cooking tutorial to make cooking EASY for you. Your investment in The Shed is an investment in YOU, providing you with the professional guidance and support YOU need to take charge of your body, hormones, and health.
So you will need to order your supplements after you submit your payment and receive your protocol – BUT I will tell you exactly what you need and where you can order it. Budget-wise, I would assume you need an additional $200 per month for high-quality supplements.
But isn’t your health and well-being worth it?
-
What about those pesky cravings?
We’re going to slay those cravings with science. Really. By balancing your blood sugar, hormones, and stress levels your cravings will all but disappear like POOF. You know what else disappears along with those cravings? POUNDS of body fat. 😉
Let’s get watch those pounds go “POOF.”

Tackling weight loss is HARD. You don’t have to do it alone.
