The Energized Woman

The Energized Woman Holistic nutrition & health support for women struggling to beat chronic fatigue. Hi, I'm Daina, an uncomplicated Holistic Nutrition Consultant.

I help busy women who are struggling with chronic fatigue, extremely low energy, stubborn tummy fat and terrible sleep balance their hormones so that they can stop feeling overwhelmed by their complex range of confusing (yet very real) symptoms. I coach women to choose the right foods to promote amazing sleep, abundant energy (like, so much you don't know what to do with it all!), and transform their bodies while feeling fully in control. I like 20 minute recipes, I like fast kitchen clean up, and I like finding healthy food options that meet my clean eating criteria (so that I don't have to make them myself) - and this is my approach to helping you. You're busy, you're stressed, you're tired - food needs to be easy and quick, right?

Something most women our age never hear?

Perimenopause is not your downfall.
It’s your North Star..

High-achieving women like you don’t suddenly “lose it,” or become the punchline in some meme about mood swings and exhaustion.

You’re too intuitive.
Too self-aware.
Too driven.
Too invested in your growth to buy into that narrative.

But if you’re showing up like this:

Energy tanks so low even a daily walk feels impossible

Brain fog steals your brilliance and your deadlines

Sleep refuses to cooperate and you spend half the night staring at the ceiling wondering, “WTF? I can’t operate like this!”

Your metabolism feels like cement and your favorite pants won’t fit

…it’s not because you’re failing.

It’s your body screaming “there’s something else going on - listen to me!!!”

Something very few women over 35–40 ever hear:

Perimenopause isn’t supposed to be chaos and confusion.

It’s complexity that requires strategy, not memes, mass-produced “hormone kits,” or a prescription band-aid that just quiets symptoms while the deeper issues brew.

If you’re the woman who:

Leads
Executes
Understands the ROI of her own health
Wants to feel sharp, grounded, energized, and unstoppable again

…then it’s time to start listening to your body and rebuilding from the root.

I created the Root Cause Energy & Hormone Reboot Blueprint for women exactly like you — self-led, capable, and ready to take action.

It’s not about hand-holding. It’s about clarity, strategy, and direction so you can move your energy, metabolism, and hormones back into alignment with your life and goals.

Because if you’re done chasing symptoms and want root-cause clarity… this is where you start.

It blows my mind how often this comes up in client calls:

When I ask, “What are your main symptoms?” — almost everyone lists fatigue and brain fog at the top.

And when I ask what they’re taking? 👇

They’re all taking some combination of iron, B vitamins, vitamin D, magnesium and ashwagandha. (often all!)

Don’t get me wrong—these can be powerful tools.

But what most people don’t talk about is, if your body isn’t ready for them, they can actually make your fatigue and brain fog worse.

🩸Iron
Most women assume “I’m tired = I need iron.”
But iron needs cofactor nutrients to actually get into your cells.
If you take iron without these, it builds up in storage (ferritin rises) but your cells are still starving for oxygen.
So, you feel heavy, sluggish, puffy, and inflamed… even though your labs “look fine.”

🌿 Ashwagandha
It’s sold as the “energy herb,” but if your cortisol is already tanked from chronic stress, ashwagandha can flatten you even more.
It pushes your adrenals when what you really need is nourishment.

💊 B Vitamins
Everyone thinks a B-complex will instantly boost energy.
But your body can only absorb and use them if your methylation pathways, gut health, and cofactors like magnesium, zinc, and vitamin C are in place.

🩸 Magnesium
It’s the “calm mineral,” right?
But without potassium, sodium, and calcium in the right ratios, magnesium can’t do its job.
Minerals are a team sport. Taking one alone rarely works.

So yes, these CAN help…but only in the right context.
Your energy isn’t built on a single supplement.

It’s built on how your body is producing, regulating, and clearing energy at a systems level — your thyroid, liver, adrenals, and mineral balance all play a role.

If you’ve been taking “energy” supplements for months and still feel like you’re dragging yourself through the day… it’s time to stop guessing and look deeper at what your body’s actually asking for. ⚡️

💬 Comment “ENERGY” below and I’ll send you my Energy Reboot Blueprint — it shows you where fatigue really starts and what your body needs first before you spend another dollar on supplements that don’t work.

I used to try SO HARD to lose weight — doing “all the right things” like:

Ditching pasta and all the yummy carbs (pizza is my weakness).

Skimping on food and battling mid-afternoon hunger like my life depended on it.

Jumping into every new HIIT or fat-burning workout.

Punishing myself by skipping after-work drinks or girls’ nights where wine and cheese flowed.

And guess what? None of it worked.

So I finally asked myself — why the hell am I torturing myself if nothing good comes from it?

I didn’t quit. I just switched up how I approached fat loss after 40.

Now, I can drop a pants size in about 4 weeks (and I’m almost 47 — so no, there’s no “easy button”).

But if it’s not coming that easy for you, here’s why 👇

YOUR STRATEGY IS FAILING YOU.

Most “traditional” weight loss methods actually fire up fat storage in women 40+:

🔥 Low-calorie, imbalanced meals wreck your metabolism and hormones.

💪 Hardcore workouts spike inflammation and tell your body to cling to fat.

💊 Overdoing supplements creates nutrient gaps that shut fat burning down.

As a go-go-go entrepreneur with a packed schedule and a deep drive to help women thrive through perimenopause, I get it.

Dropping inches is work — but it doesn’t have to be miserable.

What if fat loss after 40 could feel *strategic*, not stressful?

✅ Real food that’s actually exciting.
💃 Date nights still on the calendar.
⚡️ More energy for big goals and sharp thinking.

That’s what happens when you work with your hormones, not against them.

If you’re ready to make that shift, grab my Hormone Repair Guide in my bio — and drop a ❤️ if you’re done pretending weight loss after 40 is “impossible.”

Supplements don’t fill the gaps when you’re a successful woman building her dream business or striving for that vacant C-suite position.

You do more than the average woman so you NEED more…a more robust strategy that targets the root problem that’s behind:

Chronic fatigue and brain fog you have to wrestle through each day

Belly fat that won’t budge and that’s starting to spill over your favorite jeans

That bubbling anxiety and anger you can’t seem to control whenever someone pi**es you off or a mistake is made

Supplements alone can’t support your high achieving lifestyle.

But I can get you started. Grab my free hormone repair guide from my bio to find out HOW to kickstart energy, focus, metabolism & total body health.

Your CRP might look “normal” while your cells are screaming for help.

Here’s why 👇

CRP reflects acute, systemic inflammation—not the subtle, chronic kind that shows up as:

👉Fatigue you can’t shake

👉 Brain fog mid-meeting

👉 Mood swings that feel “out of nowhere”

👉 Weight that won’t budge no matter how clean you eat

👉 That wired-but-tired stress spiral

Perimenopause changes where and how inflammation shows up.

Local tissue inflammation in your thyroid, liver, gut, or fat tissue can quietly disrupt hormones, metabolism, and energy—without ever elevating CRP.

🚨 Common drivers that fly under the CRP radar:

Hormone Detox & Metabolic Backups – sluggish liver, estrogen dominance, thyroid conversion issues

Gut & Immune Activation – dysbiosis, food reactions, permeability

Mitochondrial Stress – undernourishment, sleep disruption, blood sugar swings

If you’re “doing everything right” but still feeling stuck, it’s in the gaps your labs aren’t catching.

✨ Start by asking: Where could inflammation be hiding in plain sight?

That’s where the real breakthroughs happen.

You’re doing *everything right*—the salads, the smoothies, the workouts, the early mornings…

Yet your energy, focus, and moods still feel unpredictable…

Because 3 root causes throw your entire body off kilter:

🚿 Detox traffic jams → Your liver & gut can’t clear out excess hormones, so they keep getting recycled.

🔥 Hidden inflammation flare-ups → Sneaky food triggers + stress = your body clings to fat for “safety.”

😬 Gut running on empty → Years of busy days, rushed meals & “healthy” processed foods leave digestion sluggish.

It’s NOT *just* hormones.

It’s “healthy” diet and supplement advice that isn’t hormone-friendly.

It’s Google tips and “expert” advice not tailored to YOUR shifting 40+ physiology.

Your body’s energy systems need more than just good intentions and list of 10 foods to “heal” hormones…

They need the RIGHT STRATEGY.

✨ That’s exactly what we’ll build inside The Energy Reset—so you can get back to running your days (and your business) with clarity and stamina that actually lasts.

My business took off fast and I had to quickly re-learn how to fuel myself to stay focused for long days at the computer.

On top of that, it seemed like the perfect time to start fostering litters of bottle baby kittens! 😂

Breakfast became THE critical meal of my day. Because if I messed that up my entire day was a foggy, exhausted struggle.

‼️If I followed food tips for energy off the internet, I’d never have made my business a success.

I tried the overnight oats craze - convenient, quick, supposedly “healthy” - but within an hour of eating them, my brain was like molasses, I was cranky for no reason, and I’d read the same email 3 times without understanding it.

It’s not just me. I see it in clients too - what looks “healthy” on IG can tank your energy, focus & mood when it’s not right for YOUR body.

The trap women over 40 fall into is that restrictive eating & fad diet trends do not fuel their hormonal system…they drain you!

The solution is:
1 know what your body needs
2 fill your unique nutrient gaps keeping you exhausted, moody & off your productivity game

The internet loves to ruin perfectly good nutrition advice with lazy one-liners, like:

Avocado oil is high in calories and fat so watch out!

You need more protein so here are some meat-only breakfast ideas.

In truth, in perimenopause, I see more women

Undereating
Overdoing the fad diet trends (like carnivore or low-carb)
Avoiding hormone-friendly foods in favor of overly hyped processed snacks or nutrient-deficient “healthy” meal kits

When you’re in your 40s, this is a critical time for health…

With hormones fluctuating and you in the midst of your biggest success in career or business, family and life,

It’s so easy to teeter off the energized, balanced, strong and confident path with one or two wrong moves in your diet.

And too many nutrition “experts” just regurgitate the same old superficial food tips that never served anyone 40 years ago either.

Tailored nutrition to address the deep imbalances that trigger your symptoms + align with the way you truly want to feel is your key to effortless energy and simplified health.

It’s how I’ve lived for over 12 years free of chronic fatigue, acne, any common hormonal issue, digestive problems or anxiety and been able to build the business and life of my dreams.

You’re the kind of woman who’s built for success.

In business. In relationships. In impact.

Your body is the foundation that holds it all.

That chronic fatigue you push through each day,

That brain fog that slowly suck the life out of your creativity,

That crankiness simmering beneath the surface that will boil over if Juan asks you one more time how to find his project folder,

Those aren’t problems to “fix” with treatments, supplements or a cleanse.

It’s the whispers deep inside that you’ve never been taught to acknowledge - let alone address - that hold the key to becoming the youthful, quick-thinking woman you’re meant to be.

Stop asking, “What else can I try?”

Start asking, “What have I ignored for too long?”

You already know what to do. You just need someone to show you HOW to use all that information you’ve gathered.

Now is your time to END the confusion and rebalance your health with 100% clarity. No more chasing hacks.

No more outsourcing your healing to Google or TikTok.

And, please, no more lab tests as gospel!!

Start right.
