19+Years in practice
30Pounds lost, her own reset
23Year survivor of Hodgkin's lymphoma
On paper, I'm a Registered Holistic Nutritionist with over 19 years in practice, a Certified Metabolic Balance® Practitioner, and the host of The Midlife Vitality Project podcast. I've managed a chain of health and nutrition stores, and I've worked in healthcare commissioning with the NHS in England and in employee benefits in Canada.
A few years ago I looked in the mirror and didn't recognize the exhausted, bloated, foggy woman looking back. Everyone told me it was perimenopause and pointed me toward HRT or Ozempic. My years in nutrition told me there was more to it.
So I paid attention to my symptoms AND my bloodwork, followed a plan built from my own results, and lost 30 pounds. My cholesterol and liver enzymes came down, and my energy and sleep came back.
It wasn't the first time. I'm a 23-year survivor of Hodgkin's lymphoma, and I rebuilt my health through nutrition after chemo and radiation in my twenties, and again after postnatal depression in my thirties.
What I believe
What I believe: the weight around your middle is a signal, and your bloodwork and symptom patterns show what it is pointing to. Every woman deserves someone who looks at her, the whole picture, and trusts her to make her own choices about her health.
