About

My Story

Hello, my name is Dana and I'm a holistic nutritionist with a deep passion to connect and support women over 40 who are navigating the wonderful season of peri and post menopause. Yes! I say wonderful, because it should be the peak of our lifetime, a new beginning, and not a time of decline. 


It is during this time that I learned the most about myself; and so, as a wife, a mother of four, a proud grandma, and a woman of faith, I understand the many challenges that life can bring. 


My journey for healing began after my burnout in 2015, triggered by the good, yet busy and stressful life of being a mom of four homeschooled kids, a homemaker, a hobby farmer, and by the onset of perimenopause. I didn't know what was happening to me, but one thing was clear: my body was 'loudly' talking to me, sending signals that I ignored. I felt fatigued, crashing in the early afternoon, gaining weight, and experiencing anxiety. Over a short time, it escalated. I couldn't slow down; I was tired but wired, making it impossible to sleep, eat, cook, or handle basic tasks. Doctors couldn't help me, so as a Christian, I turned closer to God and my faith, and felt strongly about returning to school to learn how to change my health for the better. As I embarked on my personal healing journey, a passion for ancient roots nutrition blossomed, igniting my love for real food and the health benefits it provides for our bodies. 


As a woman, holistic nutritionist (NNCP), and life coach, I recognize how critical it is to have understanding, care, and support during life's trials. I focus on promoting a healthy lifestyle and helping women achieve a hormonal reset and effective weight loss. 


If any of this resonates with you, YOU ARE NOT ALONE! Transform your life—you owe it to yourself to feel amazing again, just because you can!

- My Philosophy -

HOLISTIC APPROACH - Supporting the Whole Woman — Not Just the Symptoms.

- Perimenopause and menopause are not problems to fix; rather, they are natural transitions that require a different kind of care. Embracing an ancient roots nutrition approach can help support women over 40 through this phase of life. 


- My holistic strategy is designed to promote a healthy lifestyle for women in midlife by addressing the root causes behind hormonal imbalance, fatigue, digestive issues, stress, and burnout. This approach focuses on achieving a hormonal reset rather than just managing surface-level symptoms, ultimately supporting weight loss and overall well-being.

HOLISTIC NUTRITION

- Embracing an ancient roots nutrition approach, we aim to optimize the entire person: body, mind, and emotions. 


- By focusing on a healthy lifestyle that includes adequate amounts of high-quality protein, healthy fats, and low-carb foods, we can support your hormones and facilitate a hormonal reset. 


- Everything is interconnected. When we nurture the whole system, especially for women over 40, the body has the chance to rebalance, restore, and thrive, ultimately aiding in weight loss.

HEALTHY MINDSET

What you tell yourself can be a blessing or a curse. Your mindset plays a crucial role in your overall well-being, especially when it comes to embracing a healthy lifestyle. I will help you develop a positive and growth-oriented mindset that supports your health goals, including weight loss and hormonal reset for women over 40. Through one-on-one coaching tools, I will assist you in overcoming limiting beliefs and negative self-talk, helping you tap into the principles of ancient roots nutrition.

STRESS MANAGEMENT

Stress can have a significant impact on your health and well-being, especially for women over 40. High cortisol levels are particularly detrimental for peri and post-menopausal women. By incorporating ancient roots nutrition and focusing on a healthy lifestyle, we will work together to achieve a hormonal reset. We’ll explore breathing techniques, prayer and meditation, journaling, exercise, good sleep, and adaptogenic herbs to bring balance and support weight loss.

FITNESS BLUEPRINT

- Strength training and lifting weights are crucial for women over 40, as they help prevent bone and muscle loss while also promoting a natural hormonal reset to produce estrogen as we approach menopause. 


- To support a healthy lifestyle, ensure you eat enough protein. 


- Don't skip breakfast, as it's an important part of maintaining your energy levels and overall wellness, in line with the principles of ancient roots nutrition.

LIFE STYLE CHOICES - Going Back to the Basics!

It is often the small things in life that we take for granted which hold the power to transform every aspect of our lives, such as our perspective. Embracing elements like being outdoors, engaging in movement, and soaking up sunshine and fresh air can contribute significantly to a healthy lifestyle. Activities like gardening and grounding connect us to our ancient roots nutrition, promoting overall well-being. Additionally, focusing on eating in season and locally, staying hydrated, and ensuring good sleep—aiming for 7-9 hours per night—are essential for vitality and hormonal reset. For women over 40, these practices can support weight loss and foster a sense of community by encouraging shared meals and time spent with friends.

Hormone-Supportive Nutrition

Healthy foods like salmon, avocado, and seeds for hormone-supportive nutrition.

Nutrition needs change during perimenopause and menopause, especially for women over 40. I emphasize a balanced, nourishing approach to eating that draws on ancient roots nutrition to support hormonal reset, stabilize blood sugar, enhance digestion, and fuel energy — all without restriction or extremes. This journey is about learning how to eat in harmony with your hormones, promoting a healthy lifestyle while also considering weight loss.

Gut Health and Digestion Support

Your gut plays a critical role in hormone balance, immune health, and overall vitality. By embracing ancient roots nutrition, we work to support digestion, reduce bloating and discomfort, and improve nutrient absorption through a healthy lifestyle, targeted support, and strategies for a hormonal reset - helping your body do what it’s designed to do, especially for weight loss in women over 40.

Stress, Burnout and Nervous System Support

Chronic stress can amplify hormonal symptoms, disrupt digestion, and drain energy, especially for women over 40. By embracing principles from ancient roots nutrition, we will focus on practical strategies that support a healthy lifestyle, helping you to achieve a hormonal reset, improve sleep, and build resilience — so your body feels safe enough to heal and rebalance, ultimately aiding in weight loss.

Lifestyle Habits that Support Real Life

Wellness doesn’t happen in isolation — it happens in daily routines that can be traced back to ancient roots nutrition. Together, we can build simple, realistic habits around sleep, boundaries, nourishment, movement, and self-care that support a healthy lifestyle. These practices not only aid in hormonal reset but also contribute to weight loss, especially for women over 40, without adding overwhelm.

Fitness & Movement for Midlife

Gentle Herbs and Supplement Guidance

More intensity isn’t always better — especially during hormonal transition, particularly for women over 40. I guide women toward strength-building, hormone-friendly movement that supports metabolism, bone health, energy, and longevity while reducing stress on the body. This aligns with the principles of ancient roots nutrition, promoting a healthy lifestyle. Movement should feel empowering, not punishing, and can be a key component of a hormonal reset for effective weight loss.

Gentle Herbs and Supplement Guidance

When appropriate, I offer thoughtful, education-based guidance around gentle herbs and supplements to support hormonal balance, digestion, energy, and stress response, especially for women over 40 seeking a hormonal reset. This is never a 'pill for every symptom' approach. Foundational nutrition, inspired by ancient roots nutrition, and a healthy lifestyle always come first — with targeted support used intentionally, safely, and in alignment with your individual needs to assist in weight loss and overall well-being.
