To be a bit vulnerable, I thought my body was broken at age 51, that I was doomed to live at an unhealthy weight the rest of my life. In my late 40s, I didn't change the way I ate, but I just started gaining fat at my midsection. It tried different diets, but the old ways that worked before didn't budge the number on the scale. I dug into the research and discovered that the drop in estrogen at midlife affects the digestive hormones as well. I lost 27 pounds by working with my hormone system, and I have zero fear of gaining it back. I’ve helped professional women just like you lose even more weight with this system. I get frequent emails from clients telling me how they are buying new clothes, and how good they feel because they know they’ll never be that old weight again.

I’m a Midwesterner, but I have also lived on both coasts. I was born in Michigan, went to medical school at the University of Minnesota, and did my Family Medicine residency at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, St. Margaret’s Hospital. I live in Minnesota now with my husband, with grown children nearby.

I’m thrilled to be living at a healthy weight. I’d love to be your guide on this journey, too!
