Midlife Women Struggle
Doctors often say, “this is normal.” Friends may brush it off. Online advice feels like noise.
The truth? You’re not broken. You just need a plan designed for your body right now.
“I didn’t realize all my symptoms were linked to perimenopause until Byrd explained it. Now I have clarity, energy, and my confidence back.”

Real Results
I had plateaued in weight loss about a year after bariatric surgery. I was close to my goal but frustrated that I couldn’t get all the way there. Byrd’s personalized approach helped me see healthy eating as fun, not boring. Incorporating new foods and recipes made the process exciting and sustainable. I now feel stronger physically and emotionally. Byrd listens, customizes each session, and celebrates every success. It’s challenging, but not overwhelming, and I truly enjoyed working with her. If you’re on the fence, take the leap, you won’t regret it!
Before working with Byrd, I was stuck in a cycle of weight gain and poor eating habits that slowed me down and left me frustrated. Life felt hectic, but Byrd’s calm, authentic, and knowledgeable guidance helped me slow down, pay attention, and make better choices. I feel more confident and in control now, and I love her holistic approach to nutrition. Her program offers the support you need to create lasting change. Join her program, you won’t be sorry!
I didn’t realize my symptoms were linked to perimenopause until I began nutrition counseling with Byrd. Her support, encouragement, and expertise helped me stay consistent and improve my physical health, mood, and nutrition habits. With her guidance, I got my doctor on board with HRT and finally understood the importance of eating enough protein, which keeps me full and energized. Six months into HRT, I feel like myself again. Byrd is easy to work with and truly cares. If you’re considering her program, just do it!
