Personalized nutrition & naturopathic care for women 40+ with chronic inflammation & stubborn symptoms.

In my 20s, my health completely unraveled. Despite doing everything "right" - eating healthy, following medical advice, exercising - my body told a different story. Endless antibiotics, numerous hospitalizations, severe digestive issues, and energy crashes left me feeling frustrated and unheard.
The real turning point came when I discovered that my "healthy" diet was completely wrong for MY body. That experience didn't just change my health - it changed the entire direction of my life. For over a decade, I've helped women find what actually works for their unique biochemistry. Not trending diets or generic protocols, but personalized approaches that honor where your body is right now.
Now in my late 40s and navigating perimenopause myself, I understand that what previously worked in our 20s and 30s often stops working. Your body isn't broken - it just needs something different. Something that is personalized to your biochemistry, your symptoms, your goals, your needs.
I specialize in supporting women 40 and beyond. At some point in our 40’s everything shifts, and you deserve compassionate care that shifts with you. If you feel like you've tried everything, only to be disappointed, let's chat. I want to help you feel your best in mind and body, and live your absolute best life. This becomes possible when we restore the fundamentals of health, find the right diet to support your biochemistry, and support your body to calm inflammation at the root cause level.
My key areas of expertise (and passion) are restoring gut health, optimizing metabolic health, and personalized nutrition based on your biochemistry (36+ biomarkers) to calm inflammation (along with a wide range of associated symptoms), and help you achieve healthy sustainable weight loss.
I offer free 15-minute Discovery Chats - this is a great opportunity for us to connect; I will listen to your goals, answer your questions, and together we will figure out if we're a great fit to work together. This isn't a sales call - it's a no pressure, no obligation chat so you can feel confident and inspired about taking the next step.
Your Body Feels Like It's Working Against You
Constant bloating and digestive discomfort, no matter what you eat. Stubborn weight that won't budge despite eating "healthy" and exercising regularly. Chronic inflammation showing up as joint pain, headaches, skin issues, or just feeling "puffy" all the time.
You used to bounce back faster.
Now everything feels harder.
You've Been Told 'Everything Looks Normal'
Your labs come back "fine" but you feel anything but fine. Maybe you've been offered antidepressants, statins, or blood pressure meds to manage symptoms. Specialists can't find anything "wrong" but you know something isn't right.
The strategies that worked in your 30s - intermittent fasting, popular diets, intense workouts - now seem to make things worse.
You're Tired of Being Tired
You're mentally and physically exhausted but have no choice but to keep going - work, family, responsibilities don't stop. The discontent is smoldering, especially as hormonal changes kick in.
You just want to feel like yourself again. To wake up with energy. To feel comfortable in your own skin.
You're doing everything right, but nothing's working.
It hasn't been addressing the underlying root cause.
Personalized, compassionate support that actually gets to the root of what's wrong.
No More One-Size-Fits-All
Your body is unique. Your symptoms are unique. Your solution should be too. I don't hand out generic meal plans or trending protocols. Instead, I use your individual biochemistry (36+ biomarkers) to create a plan that's designed specifically for YOUR body, at THIS stage of your life.
We Fix the Source, Not Just the Symptoms
While others treat your bloating, fatigue, and weight gain as separate issues, I see them as connected pieces of the same puzzle. We address what's driving the inflammation and dysfunction underneath - so you get lasting results, not temporary relief.
Finally, Someone Who Gets It & Actually Listens
I listen to your full story. I believe you when you say something's wrong. I understand the frustration of being dismissed or told it's just stress or anxiety. You're not broken, you're not making it up, and you're definitely not "getting old."
You just need the right approach.

We've included three client success stories below, but you'll find many more via Vida Naturopathics' google reviews.

Emma came to me aged in her mid-40s, carrying 280 pounds and feeling completely defeated. Despite trying everything - including medical intervention, and regular fasting (which she felt had helped in the past) - her body no longer seemed to be responding. In fact, her health was continuing to deteriorate.
Her daily reality was exhausting: Severe joint pain that interfered with her active job. Chronic inflammation that left her feeling puffy and uncomfortable. Poor sleep, low energy, anxiety, and mood swings that made each day a struggle. Her labs showed the story her body was telling - elevated inflammation markers, dyslipidemia, and early signs of metabolic dysfunction.
The breaking point? Even her "healthy" efforts were backfiring. The fasting that was supposed to help with weight loss was actually stressing her system further and slowing her metabolism.
My approach was different. Instead of more restriction, we used her individual biochemistry - analyzing 36+ biomarkers - to create a personalized nutrition plan that would work WITH her body, not against it.
The transformation was remarkable: In the first week alone, Emma lost over 10 pounds as inflammation began calming. By week three, she was down 20 pounds and had lost 6 inches from her waist, with significant improvement in joint pain and sleep quality.
By the end of 12 weeks: 46 pounds lost, pain-free movement restored, deeper sleep, clearer thinking, and stable mood. But most importantly? Emma felt like herself again. As she put it, she'd been given "a whole new lease on life."
*Emma's success came from finally having a plan designed for HER unique biochemistry - not another generic approach that ignored what her body actually needed.*
At 66, Margaret had almost given up hope. For over 10 years, she'd been pre-diabetic despite following every doctor's recommendation. She was on blood pressure medication, struggling with high cholesterol, chronic fatigue, joint pain, and poor sleep that left her feeling defeated and depressed.
The hardest part? Margaret had tried everything her doctors suggested, but nothing worked. She'd largely given up activities and hobbies she once loved, feeling trapped in a body that wouldn't respond no matter how hard she tried.
When she found me, Margaret was hesitant to feel hopeful again. She'd been disappointed too many times. But she decided to trust the process - one more time.
My approach focused on her unique biochemistry rather than generic diabetes management protocols. We created a personalized nutrition plan based on her individual lab markers that would work specifically for her 66-year-old body dealing with metabolic dysfunction.
The results spoke for themselves: By week 2, Margaret had lost 6.4 pounds and 4 inches from her waist, with improved energy and sleep. Her constant bloating had disappeared, and her blood pressure was already trending downward.
At 8 weeks: 19 pounds lost, 10 inches off her waist, and blood pressure improvements so significant her doctor recommended she stop her medication.
At 10 weeks, her doctor delivered news that stunned them both: No longer pre-diabetic - after 10+ years of struggle, her cholesterol was in the healthy range for the first time in over a decade, AND she was advised she could now completely come off her blood pressure medication. Needless to say, she was thrilled.
At 3 months: Margaret broke through 150 pounds - a weight she "never thought she'd see again." More importantly, she was back to enjoying hobbies and activities she'd given up, feeling energetic and hopeful about her future.
*Margaret's transformation proves it's never too late. When you finally address the root cause, taking into account your unique biochemistry - instead of one-size-fits-all approaches.*
Yes, we help men too. At age 53, David was facing an ultimatum from his doctor: more medications or serious lifestyle changes. After watching his partner transform through Vida's Metabolic Balance program, he decided to give it one last try.
David's reality was alarming: Weighing 247 pounds at 6'1", with a 47-inch waist, he was on gout medication due to painful flare-ups. While he felt his diet was relatively healthy, he realized in hindsight he had been relying on convenience foods more and more, plus his weekly alcohol consumption had crept up over time, (as a way of switching off from work stress). Despite wanting to, he was not exercising due to the discomfort of his weight gain, and he experienced shortness of breath even with minimal exertion. All this worried him.
His lab results told the story: Liver enzymes were alarmingly elevated from alcohol and poor diet. Fasting glucose was at pre-diabetic levels. Triglycerides & LDL cholesterol dangerously high. His doctor was concerned about liver damage, metabolic syndrome, and his cardiovascular health.
My approach was comprehensive - using David's unique biochemistry to create a personalized nutrition plan that would support his body to address his liver health, metabolic dysfunction, and inflammation simultaneously.
The transformation was remarkable: Five weeks into his personalized nutrition journey, David was down 35 pounds, and his follow-up labs showed dramatic improvements.
The numbers spoke volumes:
- Fasting glucose normalized from 6.4 to 4.7 mmol/L
- Triglycerides dropped 82% from 5.0 to 0.9
- Liver enzyme GGT improved from 76 to 35 (major liver recovery)
- Cholesterol ratio improved from 7.2 to 4.1
- Overall inflammatory markers significantly reduced, and uric acid levels were trending back towards the healthy range.
Beyond the labs: David had energy to exercise again, could breathe easily, and felt confident in his body for the first time in years. He was thrilled to share these updated lab results with his doctor, and continued to embrace his new lifestyle in a balanced way.
*David's success proves that even when facing serious health complications, the right personalized approach can create dramatic improvements in just weeks. Personalized nutrition is powerful.*
Women (and men) from across the Twin Cities and beyond have transformed their health through personalized nutrition that actually works for their unique biochemistry. In my experience, getting nutrition right for the individual is absolutely essential when it comes to restoring health and wellbeing.
