You may have spent years (decades!) giving to others…whether it be family, friends, your job, pets…take this time to assess and take charge of your health (so you can be there for others!) for many healthy years to come.
Eat Well, Live Strong, Feel Great!
Eat Well - Midlife Nutrition
Nutrition is not a one-size fits all proposition!
We don't believe that there is one ideal diet for everyone. In fact, we don’t believe in “diets” at all! It's about finding what works for you and where you are in your life, what fits into your lifestyle and most importantly what you love and can enjoy for many healthy years to come.
Peri/Menopause is a time of changing nutritional needs. Things like calcium and iron requirements change; and foods can also be used to help manage symptoms. We focus on nutrient-dense foods to help keep you satisfied, but we don’t label foods as “good” or “bad”! There is room in any nutritional plan for the foods you love to eat.
Let us help you find the way of eating that suits your midlife nutritional needs and health goals!

Staying young at heart! Taming heart disease - the number one killer of women.
The hormonal changes that occur during menopause can bring increased cardiovascular risk in the form of higher blood pressure and increased cholesterol levels. Arteries become stiffer and thicker becoming more vulnerable to disease.
But there is a LOT you can do to reduce the risk. Eating a heart healthy diet, incorporating physical activity into your life, getting quality sleep and managing stress are proven ways to improve heart health and keep you healthier for longer!
It’s what you can’t see!
We can see many changes that occur with aging…grey hair, deeper smile lines and crows feet…but it’s what we may not see that presents the most risk. Changes in your heart, metabolism (blood sugar, etc.) , and bone loss all occur silently but can have profound effects on your health as you age. Let’s look at the components of exercise, nutrition and lifestyle management that can set you up for several successful decades of getting older!
Minding midlife metabolism - It’s not in your head! Things are different now!
Changes in metabolism are a real thing when women hit menopause. These changes can be attributed to the natural aging process, loss of muscle mass, decreases in hormone levels and other lifestyle factors such as sleep (disturbances!), lower levels of physical activity, and possible changes in diet.
Let’s explore together the changes you can make to recharge and renew your metabolic fire!
Step up for bone health! Osteoporosis - the “silent disease”.
The stats aren’t good! Each year an estimated 1.5 million individuals suffer a fracture due to bone disease. For those over 50 who suffer a hip fracture, approximately 4% will die in the hospital and 24% will die within the year.
Let’s find ways to reduce your risk together. Let’s examine your risk factors; discuss diet, lifestyle and exercise; and design a plan that will keep you standing tall and preventing falls!
Let’s work together!
