Functional Medicine Nutritionist Specializing in Women's Health and Hormones

01/07/2026

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!

What if weight loss after 40 isn’t about trying harder… but about resetting first?

Most women are stuck because their metabolism is stressed, under-fueled, and overwhelmed.

No plan will work until that’s addressed.

✔️ calming cortisol
✔️ stabilizing blood sugar
✔️ nourishing your metabolism
✔️ rebuilding energy

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).

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.

If you find yourself snacking all day, craving sugar, or losing control around food — it’s not because you lack discipline.
It’s because your blood sugar and insulin are on a rollercoaster.

When insulin spikes, your body stores energy instead of burning it.
Then your blood sugar crashes… and your brain screams for a quick fix.
(Hello, cookies and chips 🍪🥔)

The fix isn’t cutting more carbs or “being good.”
It’s balancing your meals with enough protein and fiber to stabilize your blood sugar and calm those hunger hormones.

Once you do — cravings fade, energy steadies, and food stops feeling like a battle.

If you’re eating salads, smoothies, and “clean foods”… but still gaining weight or feeling inflamed, it’s not because you’re doing anything wrong.
It’s because your meals might be missing the one thing your midlife hormones rely on: blood sugar balance.

When meals are:
🥗 Too light
🍓 Too high in carbs
🥤 Mostly fruit or greens
🚫 Low in protein and minerals

Your insulin spikes → your blood sugar crashes → your body stores fat to protect you.

And in perimenopause, your hormones make you even more sensitive to this rollercoaster.
So even “healthy” choices can keep your body in survival mode.

The fix?
✨ Build meals that actually nourish your metabolism — protein, fiber, healthy fats, and minerals.
✨ Eat in a way that keeps blood sugar steady.
✨ Support your stress hormones, not overwhelm them.

This is how women in midlife lose inflammation weight, cravings calm down, and energy finally stabilizes.
