Hello! I am, if you will, the original Miss-Fit. I am a registered dietitian, wellness coach, fitness trainer, & voice behind this blog - your resource for navigating health during perimenopause and beyond.

When I first created Miss-Fit, I envisioned her as a symbol of women’s well-being. She’s not a real person, but rather my image of living well, strong, and empowered. My mission here is to cut through the noise and help guide you toward your own vision of thriving through perimenopause, with smart and sustainable strategies for feeling your best in this new phase of life.

Because let’s be real. By the time we've reached our 40's and 50's, we've been bombarded for DECADES with confusing and contradictory information as it relates to nutrition and exercise. Experts can't decide amongst themselves what we should be doing as a general society, let alone specifically as a woman in this very unsettling stage of life we're getting to know as perimenopause and menopause. 

So much of what we’ve been sold related to nutrition and exercise strategy has been based on research done on MEN, NOT middle-aged WOMEN like you and me. It’s really frustrating to feel like you’re doing the right things yet not getting the results that you want. It’s inefficient at best, but the worst of it is that all of this wheel-spinning kills our confidence to the degree that we think “why bother?” and stop our efforts altogether. 

As your coach and your friend, I want you to arm you with the right information. Our bodies are different than men, and at this stage, they’re even different from those of our 20s and 30s. What worked back then isn’t cutting it anymore. In fact, much of it can be downright counterproductive. I want you to know what you should be doing, not doing, doing differently, and double-downing on now that you’ve entered your 40’s and 50’s.

But here’s where it gets even more meaningful. At this stage of life, many of us are shifting our focus from caring for others to rediscovering what we need for ourselves. As our kids become more independent, it’s the perfect time to reclaim our health, energy, and vitality…for YOU. Your well-being is your greatest asset, and now is the time to invest in yourself, create new habits, and build the strength and resilience you need for the years ahead. Let’s make this next chapter the healthiest and most vibrant one yet.
