Why me?

I’m a registered dietitian with a master’s degree in nutrition. I have extensive experience with developmental stages, researching health topics, and writing. And I’m right there with you in the midlife stage, searching for answers.

I’ve written for Cookinglight.com, The New York Times, Huffington Post, WebMD, MindBodyGreen, She Knows and have appeared on Good Morning America.

I have a reputation for delving deep into research and uncovering innovative and original insights.

My goal is for you (and every woman) to have foundational knowledge about your unique needs at midlife, empowering you to make informed health decisions. I'm working on a book that will include my five years of research and targeted advice so stay tuned.

  • Early in the week you’ll get my newsletter straight to your inbox.

  • Once a month, I’ll roundup the latest midlife news, important new studies, a relevant book or product, and provide general updates.

More about me

I’ve spent the last 15 years researching and writing about developmental stages and how they relate to nutrition and lifestyle. For 10 of those years, I focused on child and adolescent nutrition, authored six books, and hosted the Healthy Family Podcast.

For the past 5 years, I have been exclusively focused on midlife and I continue to do so. I also give talks, spreading the word about optimizing nutrition and health at midlife. An area that, in my opinion, lacks representation and research.

I hope you’ll stick around!
