Ep. 34 | Menopause Business Origin Story: Why I Became a Nutrition Coach (After 28 Years in Health)
If you're new to this podcast — or if you've been listening for a while but never heard the backstory — this episode is for you.
I didn't become a nutritionist because it sounded like a good career. I became one because my own body forced me to figure this out. And 28 years later, with multiple certifications, my own health challenges, and thousands of hours working with women, I'm still learning — and still passionate about getting this right.
In This Episode, You'll Learn:
How my own health journey — including the struggles I faced personally — led me to pursue nutrition and coaching
Why I've spent nearly three decades in this field, earning certifications in nutrition, macro coaching, transformation coaching, and menopause specialty
What drives me to focus specifically on women in perimenopause and menopause — and why this population is so underserved
How my personal experience with health issues gives me a level of understanding that goes beyond textbooks and certifications
Why I believe every woman deserves real answers, personalized support, and someone who actually listens
This work isn't just what I do. It's who I am. And every woman I work with reminds me why I started — and why I'll never stop.
Thank you for listening. Whether this is your first episode or your hundredth, I'm glad you're here.
