Hidden Gems: Meet Beverly Corsmeier of Human Cell Regeneration

Today we’d like to introduce you to Beverly Corsmeier.

Hi Beverly, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I grew up in the 80’s fitness craze, but for me, health was never just a trend. It became personal early. When I was 16, my father died suddenly of a massive heart attack. He was only 48. That kind of loss changes you. It made me realize how fragile life really is, and how often what’s happening inside the body goes unnoticed until it’s too late.

Around that same time, I started lifting weights at 16, became a certified aerobics instructor at 18, and shortly after that earned my personal training certification. I fell in love with what the human body can do when you train with intention, eat real food, and stay consistent. Fitness wasn’t a phase for me. It was part of who I was, and it gave me a sense of control in a world that can feel unpredictable.

But life has a way of pulling even the most committed people away from what keeps them well.

For years, I built a successful real estate career that demanded everything from me. Long days, constant pressure, nonstop schedules, and the kind of stress you carry so long you stop recognizing it. I was working 80-hour weeks at times, and slowly, without meaning to, I drifted away from the routines that used to keep me grounded: consistent training, truly nourishing food, recovery, and sleep. I still looked like I had it together, but inside, my body was changing and I didn’t recognize myself.

Then everything seemed to hit at once: menopause and Hashimoto’s. It felt like the floor dropped out from under me. My energy tanked. My sleep changed. My mood changed. My body felt foreign. I remember sitting in a doctor’s office hoping for real answers—and hearing some version of, “This is normal. Welcome to getting older.” It was dismissive, and it was infuriating, because I knew deep down that “normal” didn’t have to mean miserable.

That moment sent me down the rabbit hole.

I started reading everything I could, listening to the emerging science, and comparing it to the way medicine is often practiced day-to-day. What I found was eye-opening: so much of our system is set up for short appointments, basic testing, and symptom management. It’s not that there aren’t good people in healthcare—there are—but the model isn’t built to look deeply, connect patterns, or talk about the real-life factors that shape health over time. And when you’re a woman in midlife dealing with thyroid autoimmunity and being told to accept a steep decline as “normal,” you either surrender or you start asking better questions. I chose the questions.

At the same time, I was watching it happen everywhere around me—friends, clients, family members. But what stood out even more was how few people even realized they should be paying attention. Most were doing what they were told: accept the fatigue, accept the weight gain, accept the aches, accept the brain fog, accept the hormone chaos—because their doctor said it was “normal.” And if I’m being honest, the number of people I see who are truly willing to do the work and stay consistent is tiny—maybe 2% at best. Not because people are lazy, but because they don’t know there’s another option, and no one has ever shown them a real roadmap.

That’s what pulled me into functional nutrition and a cellular-health-based approach.

I became a Certified Functional Nutrition Counselor and continued building on my background as an ISSA Master Trainer with multiple fitness certifications. The more I learned, the clearer it became: the body isn’t failing people—most people are operating without the right information and without a plan that matches their biology. When you understand what’s happening inside your body, you stop guessing. And when you stop guessing, you can finally start changing things that actually matter.

That’s why I founded Human Cell Regeneration (HCR): Defying Aging Through Nutrition, Science & Fitness.

HCR exists for people who refuse to settle for “fine.” People who are driven and successful, but quietly feel like something is off and they don’t want to waste years being dismissed. I’m passionate about lab work because it gives us a baseline—real clarity instead of assumptions. I say it all the time: if we can measure it, we can change it. Once you can see what’s happening, you can build a strategy that fits your body, your life, and your goals.

Today, my work is about helping people move from “normal” to optimal—more energy, more strength, better recovery, better body composition, better confidence, and more control over how they age. Not through extremes or quick fixes, but through education, structure, and the daily habits that your body can actually respond to over time.

I share my story because it’s real. I’ve lived the stress. I’ve lived the hormone shift. I’ve lived the moment of being told, “This is just how it is now.” I also know what it looks like to rebuild when you stop accepting that answer. And I believe that the earlier we learn to pay attention to what’s happening inside the body, the more years we can protect on the outside—years of strength, freedom, and life that still feels like yours.

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
No, it definitely hasn’t been a smooth road. The hardest part for me personally was living through the gap between what I “knew” about health from decades in fitness and what I was experiencing in my own body when menopause and Hashimoto’s hit. I went from feeling strong and capable to feeling depleted, foggy, and like I didn’t recognize myself. Being told it was “normal” was a turning point, but it was also frustrating and isolating. It forced me to advocate for myself and start digging deeper than the standard answers.

Another big challenge was time and stress. I spent years building a demanding real estate career, and that pace slowly crowded out the routines that used to keep me steady—training consistently, sleeping well, eating the way I truly believe in. I understand firsthand how high-performing people can look fine on the outside but feel off inside. Life gets loud, schedules get packed, and your own health becomes the thing you keep pushing to “later.”

On the business side, the challenge has been building Human Cell Regeneration in a world that’s full of quick fixes and loud promises. I’m not interested in hype. I care about education, behavior change, and helping people understand what’s happening inside their body so they can make smarter decisions long-term. That takes trust. It takes clarity. And it takes patience, especially when a lot of people have been conditioned to accept “normal” as the goal.

But I’ll say this: all of it has pushed me to personally practice what I teach—truly eat, sleep, and breathe it. I’m not sharing theory. I’m living this every day. And my physical self, both inside and out, has made drastic changes. I can honestly say I’m in the best shape of my life, and I’m continuing to reverse my biological age.

It feels incredible to be 60 years old and still climb trees, sprint from a dead stop, and wake up without a single ache or pain—haha, unless I purposely lifted extremely heavy and expected the soreness. Even then, it’s always minimal no matter how hard the workout. There isn’t anything I did when I was 20 that I can’t do just as well now.

The biggest lesson has been that the hard seasons sharpened my purpose. They didn’t derail me—they made the work more real, more grounded, and more personal. And they’re exactly why I’m so committed to helping others realize they have more control over how they age than they’ve been led to believe.

As you know, we’re big fans of Human Cell Regeneration. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?
Human Cell Regeneration (HCR) is my wellness education and coaching brand built for driven adults who want to age with strength, energy, and confidence—on purpose, not by chance. My focus is longevity and health span: not just living longer, but staying physically capable, clear-minded, and resilient as the years pass.
What I do is help people stop guessing. Most people are doing “some” healthy things, but they’re frustrated because they don’t know what’s actually happening inside their body. At HCR, we start by creating clarity and direction. I educate and coach clients on the daily habits that shape cellular health—food quality, strength training, recovery, sleep, stress, and lifestyle patterns—and we use comprehensive lab work as a baseline whenever possible so progress is real and trackable. I’m known for taking complex health information and making it practical and doable, without turning it into a full-time job for my clients.
What sets me apart is that I sit at the intersection of functional nutrition, strength and conditioning, and real-world behavior change. I’m a Certified Functional Nutrition Counselor and an ISSA Master Trainer, so I don’t look at health as “diet only” or “exercise only.” The body is an integrated system. I teach people how to build a foundation that supports hormones, metabolism, inflammation, muscle, bone density, and energy—because that’s what determines how you feel and how you function.
I’m also known for being direct and honest in a space that can be very noisy. I don’t sell quick fixes. I don’t promise miracle results. I educate people, help them build a plan that matches their biology, and coach them to stay consistent long enough for their body to respond. And I practice what I teach. I’m 60 and in the best shape of my life. I’m strong, athletic, and symptom-free day-to-day—and I think that matters because people need to see what’s possible, not just hear it.
Brand wise, what I’m most proud of is the standard HCR stands for. My messaging is simple: “normal” isn’t the goal—optimal is. I want people to know they don’t have to accept feeling exhausted, inflamed, foggy, or stuck simply because they’re getting older. With the right strategy, you can change your trajectory.
In terms of offerings, I work with clients through structured private coaching packages (4, 8, and 12 weeks) and through an ongoing membership for people who want continued education and guidance long-term. Everything I do is grounded in education and sustainable habits—because real health isn’t a 30-day challenge. It’s a lifestyle you build, one decision at a time.
What I want readers to know most is this: your body is not broken, and you’re not “too old.” Most people just haven’t been shown how to connect the dots. HCR exists to give people that clarity—so they can take ownership of their health, build strength that lasts, and truly defy aging through nutrition, science, and fitness.

It’s also important to know that my work is educational and coaching-based. I don’t diagnose or treat medical conditions—I help clients understand their health patterns, interpret what their data may be suggesting, and build daily habits that support their body, often alongside their medical team when needed.

Where we are in life is often partly because of others. Who/what else deserves credit for how your story turned out?
I’ve honestly been pretty guarded for a long time, and I haven’t always been the best at asking for help. So this question matters to me, because the truth is I wouldn’t be here without a handful of people who showed up at key moments.

First, I want to credit the clients and people who have trusted me early. When someone lets you into their health journey, that’s a big deal. Their effort, their honesty, and their willingness to try something different has shaped the business as much as anything I’ve built. They also remind me why HCR exists.

I also have to give credit to the people who’ve encouraged me to step into this work publicly, even when I wasn’t fully comfortable. It takes a certain kind of cheerleader to say, “You’re meant to do this,” and keep saying it until you believe them. Those conversations have mattered more than they probably realize.

Professionally, I’ve had educators and voices in the functional health space who helped expand the way I think. Not just about nutrition or fitness, but about how systems in the body connect and how much of health is shaped by what we do consistently. Those mentors helped me go from curiosity to real structure and confidence in how I coach.

And on a personal level, I’ll credit the people close to me who have supported the work behind the scenes. Building a brand takes time, energy, and a lot of mental space. Having people who respect the mission, give me room to build, and keep me steady when I’m stretched thin has made a difference.

If there’s one group I want to emphasize, it’s the people who are quietly watching, learning, and then taking action. The ones who stop accepting “normal” and decide they want better. They’re the reason I keep pushing forward.
