When you meet Bonnie Barber, you immediately feel her presence. There’s a spark in her voice, a grounded strength in her eyes, and an undeniable energy that draws people in. It’s not the kind of energy that comes from pushing through exhaustion. It’s the deeper kind—the kind born of resilience, science, and a commitment to living well.
From Bodybuilding to Burnout
Bonnie’s story begins in the gym. As a competitive bodybuilder and later a gym owner, she learned firsthand the discipline of training and the importance of nutrition. But behind the competition stage, real life carried heavier weights. A failing marriage, the responsibilities of raising two children, and the grind of rebuilding from scratch eventually caught up to her.
“I knew what it felt like to wake up drained, foggy, and heavy,” Bonnie reflects. “On the outside, people thought I was strong. Inside, I was running on empty.”
The experience forced her to rethink everything she knew about fitness, wellness, and strength. It wasn’t just about lifting more or working harder. The real question became: How do I find energy that lasts?
Science Meets Soul
Her search led her beyond the gym and into neuroscience and nutrition. She discovered something most women never hear: a woman’s brain literally changes every month. Hormonal shifts impact memory, mood, and focus, creating natural highs and lows.
During the menstrual phase, energy dips as the brain diverts resources. Around ovulation, estrogen and testosterone bring clarity and drive. But in the luteal phase, progesterone often triggers fatigue, cravings, and brain fog.
“When I learned that,” Bonnie says, “it finally made sense. Women weren’t broken or lazy—we were trying to run on fuel that didn’t fit our biology.”
That’s when she found ketones, a clean energy source the body naturally produces. Unlike caffeine or sugar, which create spikes and crashes, ketones give the brain steady fuel. “It wasn’t about pushing harder,” Bonnie explains. “It was about fueling smarter.”
The Birth of Let’s Go
From this discovery came Let’s Go, a liposomal ketone gel Bonnie developed not just as a supplement but as a philosophy. It was her answer to the question she’d asked herself in burnout: How do I keep going?
“I wanted women to experience the same clarity and strength I fought to find,” she says. “Not a temporary high, but a foundation for resilience.”
Redefining Wellness
Today, Bonnie’s mission goes far beyond bodybuilding or business. She advocates for women to redefine wellness—not as a measure of willpower, but as the harmony between brain, body, and energy.
“Wellness is how we show up in every role,” she says. “In the gym, in the office, with our families. When our energy is steady, we can be fully present.”
Bonnie’s philosophy resonates because it’s lived. She knows the heaviness of burnout and the lightness with the right energy sources.
Why It Matters
In a world filled with quick fixes and energy drinks, Bonnie offers something different. Her message isn’t about doing more—it’s about living better. As a mother of two teenage boys and on-the-go entrepreneur of several businesses, energy and wellness are a necessary part of her life.
“When women elevate,” she says with conviction, “the ripple effect is unstoppable. Stronger women mean stronger families, businesses, and communities.”

Energy is the foundation of how we show up—as mothers, leaders, athletes, and women. When we fuel smarter, we rise stronger, clearer, and more fully ourselves.
