Hi, I help women take control of their health with simple nutrition and lifestyle habits

03/05/2026

What if you could feel healthier in your 50s than you did in your 20s?🤩

20 years ago my body was out of order.
I was in the midst of infertility treatments following years of endometriosis and erratic hormone levels.

Then I had a lightbulb moment: fruits, vegetables and other real, unprocessed foods can not only prevent disease – they can help the body heal. 🫐🥑

So I started small.
I gradually shifted from mostly processed food to mostly real food, and added even more nutrition with powdered produce.

Over time, transforming my nutrition transformed my health and my life. 💚

Today, I am healthier in my 50s than I was in my 20s … and I have two beautiful daughters!

Real food truly is medicine. It supports our bodies in making the “medicine” they were designed to make — the kind that leads to healing and thriving.

That’s why I’m here.

If you’re in midlife wondering whether it’s too late to feel good in your body again, it’s not.

😊I love helping midlife women create simple, sustainable habits that lead to lasting energy and thriving health, even as they age.

It doesn’t require an overnight overhaul. Just small steps in the right direction.

If you want to be proactive about your health and feel good, for as long as possible, I’d love to walk that path with you.

📩What’s one small thing you’ve done for your health that made a difference?

🦃HEALTHY(ISH) HOLIDAY TIPS🥧
Sometimes the holiday season feels like 6 weeks of indulgence, but this year it's only 5 weeks. Even if you have 6–8 parties or big meals, that still leaves 25 or more days to stay on track.

One meal doesn’t define your habits. What you do most of the time does.

Here are some simple tips to your health habits in focus in the midst of holiday meals.

💦Keep hydrated, especially if you'll be drinking a glass of wine.
🏃‍♀️Keep moving. It helps the body process all that extra food and blood sugar.
🥑Preload your day with fresh, simple meals and colorful foods.
🥤Drink a Complete protein smoothie or two.

Repeat the next day. Most people find that gentle recovery works better than restriction this time of year.

PS If you'd like to try the Juice Plus protein (it's been a staple in my home for over 15 years), let me know and I can create a cart for you. Our 12 Days of Smoothies starting December 1 is a great way to enjoy some holiday-inspired smoothies and feel like you're eating dessert every day (but without the guilt)!

Who do you know who’s ready to take control of their health and needs a dose of hope that, YES, it’s possible and YES, they can do it?

💜Someone who wants a simple health plan they can stick with for the long-term
💜The kind that doesn’t require tracking calories or macros, or hours in the gym
💜But teaches them simple strategies that equip their body to restore energy and mood and function?

This masterclass on Wednesday could be the class that changes everything… the aha!✨ that awakens commitment and desire, and helps you take one more step toward that healthy life you envision.

A friend asked me today how I chose my business name, Your Friend in Health. It’s been 7 years, and that name still resonates with me.

💚I want to be the person that people turn to when they’re ready to walk the road to health.
💚The person who will guide them on a trusted path.
💚The person who makes the journey enjoyable so they don’t want it to end!

This path, of course, is the path of healthy lifestyle habits – eating real food, moving more, reducing stress, being in community – the habits that sometimes get lost in the shuffle of life but provide oh-so-many rewards!🎁

I’ve been walking this road faithfully for almost 20 years because I’ve found simple ways to keep it doable. Sometimes I get sidetracked, yes, but the path is always in sight and easy to come back to – and I do come back because the benefits are tangible and life-changing.

If you’ve veered off course and are ready to find your way back, I invite you to come back. Let’s do it together. I’ll help you keep it simple and find your footing.

💌Want to chat? Send me a dm. Or type FRIEND in the comments to sign up for my masterclass next Wednesday on Your Body’s Internal Pharmacy. That could be a first step toward renewing motivation and taking another step.

✨Did you know your body has a built-in pharmacy?✨

When I first learned that our bodies can actually make their own medicines, I was amazed! Our bodies are designed with an incredible ability to heal and protect – if we give it the right tools.

Over the years, as I’ve implemented simple habits to unlock my own internal pharmacy, I’ve seen my health improve in ways I never expected. Who knew it was possible to overcome infertility after 6 years, or be healthier at 50 than at 30?😄

That’s why I’m hosting a FREE MASTERCLASS on Zoom next week... 🌿 Your Body’s Internal Pharmacy: 3 Keys to Unlock Natural Energy, Happiness, and Healing Power

If you’re ready for a new perspective and renewed motivation to take control of your health, join me for this class!🙋‍♀️
