What Do You Need Help With?

Bone Health: Osteopenia & Osteoporosis

Sugar Handling Problems: Pre-diabetes & Diabetes

Digestive Distress

Functional Labs and Nutritional Blood Chemistry

  • Are you over 40 and feeling like your best days are behind you?

  • Are you concerned about your bone health or received a diagnosis of osteopenia or osteoporosis and trying not to panic?

  • Are you tired of suffering from frequent bloating, gas, constipation, acid reflux or other digestive problems?

  • Has your doctor told you to “eat better,” but you’re not sure how?

  • Are you prediabetic, diabetic, or addicted to sugar?  

  • Are you ready to make changes to improve your health and well-being?

If your answer to any of these questions is “yes,” we should talk!

Doubling over from abdominal pain after eating might be common for you, but it’s not normal. Being told that your bones are getting brittle is not a “normal part of aging.” Suffering with autoimmune symptoms or worrying about progressing from pre-diabetes to diabetes is no way to live!

If any of these sound like you, I get it! I’ve been there, too.

I can help you overcome the fears, fine-tune your nutrition and lifestyle, and get busy rebuilding your health.

With detailed guidance on nutrition and supplements, along with supportive coaching, you can bring your body back into balance.

You may discover that you feel better now than you ever did in your 20s or 30s!

Here’s What Clients Have to Say…

  • “I had an amazing journey with Maureen. I had been diagnosed with Type II diabetes a few months earlier and knew that I needed to make some significant changes to my diet and lifestyle. But how to begin and what program, if any, to follow – these were my first issues.

    Maureen came along at just this time and I was eager to work with her. Learning about what foods are beneficial, and not, and how the body reacts to sugars, fats, and carbs was eye-opening and essential to my commitment to make the necessary changes. In four months I reversed my diabetic diagnosis, reduced inflammation noticeably in arthritic joints, and lost weight. Along with those benefits came more energy and less fatigue.

    Maureen tailors her program to your particular issues and health status. She has a wonderful sense of how to impart knowledge, encourage and problem-solve, and lead you to accountability to yourself. She is kind, understanding, but most importantly, effective in leading you to better nutrition and health.”
