I don’t track it.
I don’t earn it.
I don’t compensate for it later.

I eat the cookie… and my metabolism survives.

Wild, I know. 🍪

Food labels don’t tell the whole story — especially in midlife.

Even “healthy” foods can spike blood sugar when:

• protein is too low

• meals are unbalanced

• stress hormones are elevated

• insulin sensitivity is changing


Common examples:

• smoothies without protein

• oatmeal on its own

• granola or energy bars

• fruit + coffee as a meal

This doesn’t mean these foods are “bad.”

It means context matters more now.


The Power Up with Protein Guide shows you how to build balanced meals that support blood sugar, energy, and cravings — without eliminating foods you enjoy.

Send this to the woman who keeps being told, “You’re too young for that.”

Perimenopause doesn’t start with missed periods.

It often starts years earlier — with changes no one connects to hormones:
• disrupted sleep
• anxiety or irritability that feels new
• stubborn weight gain
• heavier or more symptomatic cycles
• fatigue that doesn’t match your life

Hormones fluctuate long before cycles change. That in-between phase is where many women feel confused, dismissed, or told everything is “normal.”

If your body feels different and you don’t recognize yourself — that matters.

I created a Perimenopause Essentials Guide that explains:
✔️ what perimenopause actually is
✔️ common symptoms (including the sneaky ones)
✔️ why things start changing in your 40s
✔️ natural ways to support hormones, metabolism, sleep, and stress

Restriction doesn’t always look extreme in midlife.

Sometimes it looks like this:

• getting “hangry” between meals
• crashing mid-afternoon
• obsessing about food
• needing coffee just to function
• feeling wired but exhausted
• stalled weight despite eating “well”

These aren’t signs you need more discipline.
They’re signs your body doesn’t feel adequately fueled.

Nourishment — especially protein — helps stabilize blood sugar, lower stress hormones, and restore trust between you and your body.

The Power Up with Protein Guide helps you understand how much protein you actually need in midlife and how to eat it without overthinking.

What I stopped doing to finally feel better in midlife...

I stopped:
• skipping meals
• chasing calorie deficits
• pushing through exhaustion
• treating stress like a mindset problem
• assuming my body needed fixing

And I started:
• stabilizing blood sugar
• supporting my nervous system
• eating enough — consistently
• working with midlife hormones

Feeling better in midlife wasn’t about adding more hacks.
It was about removing the habits that kept my body in survival mode.

Inside the Midlife Metabolism Collaborative, I teach women how to rebuild energy and metabolism by addressing stress, nourishment, sleep, and hormones together — not in isolation.

If you’re new here (or you’ve been quietly following along), I wanted to share a little more of my story — because it shapes everything I teach.

I’m Dariella — a registered dietitian, functional nutritionist, wife of 13 years (yes, we met on Match.com 😅), mom of two, and Arizona-based woman who believes healing can be both science-based and soul-led.

My hormone journey started early — with a PCOS diagnosis, long-standing sugar cravings, stubborn belly fat, and a body that never responded to “just try harder” advice, all before I graduated high school.

What changed my health wasn’t restriction — it was learning how to fuel my body consistently and with intention. With the guidance of a holistic practitioner (who later inspired me to do this work), I was able to reverse my PCOS and restore regular cycles.

Fast forward to midlife… and here’s the part many women don’t realize:

PCOS and perimenopause symptoms overlap a lot.
Blood sugar issues. Belly fat. Cravings. Mood shifts. Irregular cycles. Feeling “off” in your body.

So when perimenopause arrived, it felt like old symptoms were popping back up — and I had to learn how to support my body all over again, just in a new season.

Now, navigating perimenopause myself, I bring both lived experience and 16 years of professional expertise — including training in functional medicine nutrition and herbal women’s health — to help women manage hormones, metabolism, and energy with nourishment, nervous system support, and trust in their bodies.

If you’re feeling like your body is suddenly speaking a language you’ve heard before — you’re not broken, and you’re not alone 🤍

Welcome!

✔️ calming cortisol

This is where everything finally starts to make sense.

Not by eating less.
Not by cutting carbs.
Not by doing more cardio.

For years, when my weight crept up or my belly felt softer, I went straight into restriction mode — skipping meals, slashing carbs, pushing harder in workouts, and obsessing over the scale. It felt productive… but it quietly made my hormones, energy, and metabolism worse.

Perimenopause was the wake-up call.

I realized my body didn’t need more discipline — it needed more support.

So I shifted my focus to:
✅ Strength training to rebuild muscle and metabolic resilience
✅ Eating enough (especially protein + carbs) to stabilize blood sugar
✅ Regulating stress instead of punishing my body
✅ Measuring progress by energy, strength, and consistency — not just the scale

That shift changed everything. I got stronger, leaner, and more energized — without living in restriction.

If you’re in perimenopause and feel stuck with cravings, fatigue, or stubborn belly fat, this is exactly why I created my FREE 7-Day Metabolism Reboot Challenge, starting January 12.

What No One Tells You About Perimenopause (and Why You’re Not Crazy)

If you’ve been feeling “off” in your 40s — exhausted, moody, gaining weight, overwhelmed, anxious, wired-but-tired, or just not like yourself — you’re not imagining it.
And you’re definitely not crazy.

Perimenopause is one of the most misunderstood phases of a woman’s life — and most of us are never told what’s actually happening in our bodies.

In this episode, I break down the REAL hormonal shifts behind your symptoms, including:
• cortisol + stress reactivity
• insulin resistance in midlife
• thyroid slowdown
• estrogen fluctuations (and why they cause so much chaos)
• why your metabolism changes seemingly overnight

Your symptoms aren’t random.
You’re not losing your mind.
Your body is speaking — and once you understand what it’s saying, everything starts to make sense.

This episode will help you feel grounded, validated, and empowered to support your body (instead of fighting it).

Who can relate?

Most women think metabolism is all about calories, workouts, or willpower…
But in midlife, it’s actually about cellular nourishment.

Your metabolism isn’t “slow” — it’s under-fed, stressed, and missing the raw materials it needs to function well.
And when your cells aren’t getting enough protein and minerals, your body:
⚠️ Stores more fat
⚠️ Craves sugar
⚠️ Runs on cortisol
⚠️ Loses muscle faster
⚠️ Feels bloated, puffy, and inflamed

So what’s the hack?
✨ Prioritize protein + minerals at every meal.

Protein rebuilds muscle (your metabolic engine).
Minerals act like spark plugs, supporting insulin, thyroid health, stress response, digestion, and energy production.

Together, they turn your metabolism back on.

This is how you rebuild your metabolism from the inside out — by nourishing the hormones, cells, and systems that regulate it.

If you’ve been feeling puffy, inflamed, exhausted, or like your metabolism “just isn’t working”…
Start with nourishment, not restriction.

💫 Want to go deeper into exactly which minerals matter — and how to use them for better energy, less stress, and fat loss in midlife?
