200 Yoga Teacher Training completed!

It’s been a dream for over 25 yrs, and it was so worth the wait. Trusting divine timing is a real practice for this Aquarius who’s always thinking of the next thing, but wow, this timing is truly divine.

There hasn’t really been an opportunity for me to step away for two full weeks in the last 20 yrs, as that’s how long I’ve been a mama and my energy was needed and gladly, lovingly given to that role.

Over the years, I’ve followed many other paths and certifications that worked more seamlessly into our schedules. But I’m now in a season where it was possible, and that timing combined with the love, encouragement and enthusiasm of my husband made this dream a reality. I love you more than ever.

This training was a true returning home to myslef. To step away from roles, obligations, titles, routines for two weeks and immerse myself in learning, practicing, stretching my
capacity on all levels and stepping into a more embodied version has been life changing in the best way.

Deepest gratitude for our teacher whose passion, knowledge and lived experience of yoga and pranayama is contagious, for our nourishing and nurturing host and .yoga.school and for all the soul sisters I fell in love with.

Deepest reverence and respect to the Mojave Desert for her beauty in this rare bloom season, the sunrises and sunsets and rustic beauty added depth to this whole journey.

I am so ready to share yoga with my community.
Stay tuned ✨

Welcome!

I’m Ali—a functional nutrition & lifestyle medicine practitioner, breathwork facilitator, and coach—and I want you to know what this space is and what it’s not.

I’m not an influencer. You won’t see me linking supplements, selling products, or telling you what worked for my body and insisting it will work for yours.

Your physiology is unique. Your history matters. Your nervous system matters.

Recommending one-size-fits-all solutions without knowing you would be out of integrity for me.

Midlife women have become sitting ducks for targeted marketing—quick fixes, miracle supplements, and urgency-based messaging that tells you something is wrong and only this one thing can fix it.

But this transition? It requires nuance. It requires intelligent discourse. It requires attention, intention, and respect for your unique physiology.

What I will share is education, practices, and perspectives that help you reconnect to your own inner wisdom—so you’re not outsourcing your health to the next trend, protocol, or promise.

My work is rooted in nourishment: nutrition, movement, breath, and connection—because wellness isn’t about doing more, it’s about becoming more resourced.

If you’re craving depth, steadiness, and a different relationship with your body, you’re in the right place.

✨ DM me “NOURISHED” and I’ll send you my free physiological sigh practice ✨ You will receive my newsletter for longer-form reflections + tools ✨ You can also explore my blog where I archive past newsletters

Thank you for being here, may you find value, may you feel seen and validated, feel safe and welcome. 🙏🏻

The most common theme I am seeing with my clients and in my communities these days is analysis paralysis, this knowing and understanding of what to do to feel better and yet the lack of ability to integrate and execute it.

This is due to many reasons, part of which is our subconscious running over 90% of our daily thoughts, habits and actions. Our subconscious does not care if we are happy or thriving or lose that 5 pounds. It just wants us safe.

And what’s safe is familiar.

The nervous system is constantly scanning the body and the environment to see whether we are safe or not. Living in this time of overwhelm and angst in our inner and outer worlds is contributing to the divide between knowing and doing. Living in a state of constant noise, information and rushing keeps us stuck. It’s sadly what has become familiar, ie SAFE. So it’s where so stay even if it isn’t serving us.

The subconscious will always choose a familiar chaos over an unfamiliar peace.

I am here to help you tune out the noise tune into your inner wisdom. I am here to offer tools that shift the subconscious programming, that expand your capacity, gently pushing into the unfamiliar so change can last. I’m here to remind you how to nourish yourself for blood sugar and hormone balance so energy feels sustainable. So you can pour from overflow instead of an empty cup. So you can show up as the version of you with intention, as the most embodied version of YOU.

For your family, for your career, for your community, for the world, for yourself. ✨

Let’s do this. Together.

DM if you’re ready to step into aligned action.

If you are still using the tricks that worked 10 years ago — or even 2 years ago — and they’re no longer working, nothing is wrong with you.

You are NOT broken.

Simply put, in midlife your physiology changes. The nervous system, hormones, muscle mass and recovery capacity are different now, which means the strategy has to match the season you’re in. Instead of being overwhelmed by the fear based messaging bombarding women at this stage, we can simply acknowledge this natural shift and met ourselves where we are with compassion and understanding.

Outdated methods such as “eat less” and “work out more” stop working and can keep you stuck on the hamster wheel. When the body is under stress due to fluctuating hormones, the system is wired for protection, not fat loss.

Stress physiology down-regulates metabolism, increases fat storage, raises appetite, disrupts sleep, and keeps you in the loop.

It’s not about trying harder — it’s about trying differently.

In midlife the order matters:
Regulate first → then refine. • nervous system safety (BREATH, sleep, boundaries) • muscle preservation (strength training + protein) • blood sugar stability (composition & timing) • and only then — a gentle deficit if still needed

If the body doesn’t feel safe, it stores vs burns. 
When you slow down, check in, and re-establish communication between head and heart, the body begins to respond again.

If you want a simple tool to begin this midlife reframe, join me at Hunt Vitality and learn how to use your breath to optimize metabolism, hormone balance, digestion and energy.

There’s so much talk about nervous system regulation…
But where do we actually start?

With your breath.
Not intense. Not dramatic. Not complicated.

Just breath — with awareness and intention.

You don’t need fancy tech, 90-minute routines, or a silent retreat to regulate your system.

You need your breath — and the skills to use it functionally.

If you’ve been intimidated by breathwork, this is for YOU!

This is the bridge.

To calm. To clarity. To hormonal and metabolic balance.

Join me for a 4-week virtual breathwork journey starting Tuesday.

4 weeks. $88. We start May 6.

When it comes to blood sugar & hormone balance, the nervous system is running the show.

Depending on our state, we are either storing fat or burning it. We are either utilizing the energy from our food and feeling satiated or we are constantly hungry with massive energy fluctuations. We are either signaling safety due to access to nourishment, or signaling danger due to lacking nourishment.

I’ve shared recently one of the best ways to regulate the nervous system to create blood sugar and hormone balance is the simple act of breathing. Well, good news….another simple act we are already doing is also supportive of signaling safety in the nervous system.

Eating.
Eating enough.
Eating enough protein, fat and fiber.
Eating in the morning.

Womens bodies thrive in a fed, nourished state. By eating (especially protein) in the morning you are signaling safety to your nervous system. Signaling you have access to food. You are safe enough to release the hormones necessary for procreation. Your blood sugar starts the day stabilized and energy is consistent for the day.

Breathing (optimally) and eating (enough).
Keep it simple.

I am welcoming Spring with arms wide open!

In deep gratitude for the beautiful and her ability to put into words the truth of what many of us feel so deeply.

Let the season a renewal, rebirth, growth, warmth and beauty begin!

03/19/2025

Are you ready to turn out the noise, tune into what YOUR body needs to thrive and take empowering steps towards living your best life?

I know I am.
And I’m here to help you do the same!

You are not alone.

You are not broken.

You don’t have to do more, push harder, grind it out.

You can choose to understand what’s happening in your unbroken body, lean into the shifts and work with the new physiology.

You can accept the cyclical nature of our divine feminine nature and reframe the next chapter.

And, of course, there are tools and ways to ease the pain, make suffering optional and have a more easeful transition.

Anything is possible, let’s talk and see what’s possible for YOU!
