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?

Most perimenopause advice assumes women want to opt out.

Slow down.
Lower expectations.
Rest more.
Design your life around symptoms.

That’s helpful — *if that’s what you want.*

But high-performing women like us do NOT want to disengage.

Nor do we want to shrink.

We want to succeed, with all the stamina and creative force we’ve had through our 20s and 30s!

High-functioning women don’t need excuses to rest.

They need their energetic capacity restored.

So you can think clearly.
Create freely.
Lead confidently.
And keep showing up at the level YOU choose.

If you want to navigate perimenopause without slowing down, start with the foundation I used myself.

Here’s why perimenopause can feel so disruptive to your busy life:

It doesn’t suddenly remove your capacity - it changes how much is COSTS to sustain the output you’re used to.

And one of the MOST DAMAGING narratives around perimenopause is that it makes women fragile. Difficult. Dare I say…broken in ways that don’t make sense.

NONE of that is true.

Maybe you’re noticing that putting in the same amount of effort each day is leading to:

• more need to rest or recover

• less acceptance or resilience when you don’t get proper support

• fewer moments where you feel 100% in control of your work, life, body and health

High-performing women feel this first simply because they’re still asking a lot of themselves.

This isn’t a mindset or motivation problem.

It’s a resourcing problem.

And once you understand that, everything gets easier to work with.

💃 Would you like to sail through perimenopause with as much (or more) stamina, creativity and grace as ever?

After 35, fat gain is not always a result of eating too much or “not trying hard enough.”

The #1 cause of unexplained weight/fat?

Stress.

Here’s what that looks like👇

Your body stores fat when it doesn’t feel safe.

Not emotionally unsafe.
Biologically unsafe.

That can happen when:

👉 Stress is high (even the productive, high-functioning kind)
👉 Hormones are shifting (hello perimenopause)
👉 Food looks “healthy” but isn’t giving your body what it actually needs
👉 Detox pathways are overloaded
👉 Blood sugar is spiking and crashing daily

Example:
Oatmeal or sugar-free cereal for breakfast might sound healthy…
But when estrogen starts changing, your insulin response changes too.

That innocent bowl of oats can spike blood sugar → increase inflammation → signal fat storage.

Same with:
❌Gluten-free crackers
❌Low-calorie snacks
❌Processed “health foods”
❌Eating less instead of eating better

Your body reads this as:

📣“We’re under stress. Resources are unstable. Store energy.”

Fat can act like a temporary storage closet when your system is overwhelmed; it’s just trying to protect you.

That closet fills fast… and empties slowly… unless the root cause is addressed.

This is why:

Eating less doesn’t work
Exercising more backfires“
Healthy” foods still cause weight gain
You feel inflamed, puffy, tired, and frustrated

Perimenopause doesn’t have to derail your energy, focus, or confidence.

If you’re a high-functioning woman who refuses to “just deal with it,”

you’ll want this.

My FREE Hormone Repair Guide breaks down the foundational nutrition shifts I made to move through my late 30s and 40s feeling clear, capable, and fully in charge of my body.

Some women move through perimenopause smoothly, symptom-free.

It’s not because they live some ultra zen-like lifestyle or have the willpower of a goddess, or even “got lucky” on the hormone lottery.

It’s because they supported their body holistically.

Instead of chasing fixes for:

• sleep
• weight
• mood
• focus
• energy
• anxiety or overwhelm

they focused on the systems underneath all of it.

When those foundations get the attention they deserve, the transition gets to be quiet.

💫 Smooth like the butter you’re able to eat.

💫 Sparkly like the prosecco you can celebrate your friend’s engagement with.

💫 Free like diving into a pizza with your partner and not wondering about tomorrow’s consequences.

That’s the part most women never hear about.

They’re just taught to “band-aid” their bodies when things feel off.

If you want to understand what actually makes the difference in squashing symptoms of perimenopause (or even when they’re still sutble):

It walks you through what to focus on first — without overwhelm, fear, or symptom-chasing.

Look at you being all proactive! 🙌

I see so many posts about how hard perimenopause is supposed to be…

and I’ll be honest — I don’t relate.

I’m 47 with…

No hot flashes.
No brain fog.
No sleep issues.
No PMS.
My words still show up on demand.
My body still responds when I ask it to.

The *only* thing I’ve noticed?

My period shows up a couple days earlier than it used to… and it’s slightly lighter. That’s it.

Which, for a long time, left me genuinely confused.

Because according to social media, I should be struggling.

Here’s what I’ve learned from 12 years of holistic nutrition support:

When you address hormone health at the ROOT LEVEL, perimenopause doesn’t have to announce itself with symptoms.

You don’t need to brace for impact.
You don’t need to “power through.”
And you don’t need to wait for things to go sideways before you act.

If you want to flow through this phase without constantly wondering “is this perimenopause?” —

there’s a very specific way to support your body so it stays steady.

👉 Start with my FREE Hormone Repair Guide to see what actually matters first — and how women are staying clear, calm, and fully themselves through their 40s.

When I finally fixed THIS, my brain came back online.

👉 Download my free Hormone Repair Guide to see what most high-performing women are missing.

Most women try to manage symptoms instead of repairing what’s underneath them.

Once you understand that layer, focus, creativity, and stress tolerance get easier to restore. 💜

12/16/2025

You’re actually very good at managing stress.
You breathe. You meditate. You regulate.
You’ve done the nervous system work.

But there’s a HUGE gap in almost every “nervous system” or “stress management” rulebook that most women are NEVER told about (until now).

And during the holidays — when the pressure, pace, and expectations spike — the cracks show faster.

👉 You’re doing all the “calming” things… but your system still feels wired and tired at the same time.

👉 Your tolerance for noise, chaos, and constant demands is lower — even when you want to stay grounded.

👉 Your energy drops faster during busy days — especially when you’re juggling work, family, events, and expectations.

👉 You start wondering why nervous system tools that used to work now feel incomplete.

Stress regulation isn’t enough once your energy system changes.

For women ~40+, holiday stress exposes that gap fast.
Your body needs deeper support to create real resilience — not just calm on the surface.

That’s exactly what I break down inside my Hormone Repair Guide:

✔ why this phase feels harder
✔ what’s actually being depleted
✔ and what high-performing women over 40 are doing differently to feel calm, clear, and in control — even during the holidays

Because pushing harder isn’t the answer — and neither is more breathing exercises.

You’re soooooo good at doing your part to stay healthy and energized, but…

Lately, what worked in the past isn’t working now. 😕

And it’s perfectly normal to feel super frustrated!

Because as a woman who thrives on productivity, creativity and achieving the next big thing,

📣There are some very REAL challenges that kick in BEFORE hormones officially “change”.

Like:

👉Your productivity window feels tighter. Your capacity runs dry faster than it used to.

👉You can power through your day, but the cost hits later. Evenings are spent in recovery instead of connecting with loved ones.

👉Your creativity isn’t as “on tap.” This one takes more planning to find the sweet spot in your day when ideas flow.

👉You absorb workplace chaos differently. Noise, interruptions, shifting priorities — things you used to handle with ease now land harder.

👉Your focus feels slightly… glitchy. Kinda like a flickering lightbulb somedays…

👉You’ve tried the common fixes. Supplements. Workouts. Stress hacks. Sleep tweaks. And you still feel “off”.

If this sounds familiar, here’s the part no one tells women like you:

The earliest signs of perimenopause are rarely hormonal.

They’re driven by three underlying factors almost everyone overlooks.

Download my Hormone Repair Guide — it walks you through what’s actually happening when your labs look “fine,” but your body is signaling change.

If you’re a high-achieving, no-excuses woman who knows she’s capable of more productivity & creativity…

but is exhausted and inconvenienced by the lack of clear answers, the conflicting advice, and the constant feeling like her body is working against her,

“You’re only 42, you can’t be in perimenopause yet.”
—Tell that to my body!

The myth that you’re “too young” to be experiencing perimenopause…total BS!

With today’s nonstop stressors – work deadlines, family pressure, social obligations – your body is constantly borrowing resources it needs to keep hormones balanced and energy high.

And let’s not even start on the “masking” tools: HRT, ashwagandha drinks, turmeric + ginger shots, fad diet trends – they hide symptoms but don’t fix the root cause.

All this is happening because the real problem is getting ignored:

👉 Mineral imbalances (magnesium, zinc, selenium, copper…)

👉 Toxicity from diet, environment, and lifestyle

These are not age-specific. They can hit ANY woman, at ANY age.

These show up for us because:

✔️ Long hours, perfectionism, doing it all because “if I don’t, the world will fall apart”

✔️ Diet mistakes from childhood or adulthood: low nutrients, high stress, fad cleanses that deplete minerals rather than restore them

✔️ Chronic inflammation, stress, and poor detox pathways that quietly derail hormone production and receptivity

So yes, if you feel your body throwing common perimenopause symptoms at you (forgetfulness, insomnia, energy crashes, mood swings…), maybe you are in perimenopause…regardless of what your doctor says.

Here’s what you want to hear: 🙌 These symptoms can absolutely be reversed.

I’ve done it myself and helped dozens of women over 40 do it too…

And in my FREE Hormone Repair Guide, I show exactly how it’s done: restoring minerals, reducing toxicity, and resetting hormones naturally, without gimmicks or deprivation.

“Oh, when you’re my age, you’ll have all these problems too…”

I’ve heard that from sooooo many women over the years…

But here’s the thing: at 47, I don’t have any of the perimenopause symptoms that 90% of women are complaining about!

Now, I’ll be real with you… over the past 4 years, I did experience a few things:

🫩Morning grogginess—even after a solid 8-hour sleep

😶‍🌫️Brain fog that basically body-checks me out of my chair into a 2-hour nap

👹 A period that shows up whenever it feels like it, while my insides feel like The Hulk is doing gymnastics in there

🔥 Waking up sweaty and bothered (and not from a steamy dream about Chris Hemsworth)

🍪 Sweet cravings so intense I thought I’d become diabetic overnight

And my personal nightmare? Trying to squeeze into my favorite shorts and watching my love handles spill over the waistband. 🙄

While most women turn to Instagram for “perimenopause hacks” or supplements that promise a fix… I get down to business.

I tweak my diet just slightly—nothing extreme, nothing restrictive, no painful cleanses—just adding in the right foods to banish those symptoms in 2–4 weeks.

The kicker?

It’s not about eating “clean” or gluten-free (though that helps a little). It’s about eating to:

👉 Restore mineral imbalances that hormonal changes throw off

👉 Boost hormone detox safely, without piling on toxicity (so many “herbals” overdo it!)

👉 Calm systemic inflammation without overwhelming your immune system—key for energy, focus, mood, sleep, and yes… weight

And there’s more! Here’s just a few of the other perimenopause symptoms you can eliminate with the right diet for YOU:

Hot flashes
Anxiety spikes
Crying spells
Hair loss
3 PM energy crashes
3 AM waking
Insomnia
Constipation
Gas & bloating

If you’re ready to finally ditch these nuisance problems and reclaim your energy, focus, and body…
