Your Instructor
Welcome, I'm Wendie- a dietitian with over 20 years of experience helping women with gut health, hormones, and balancing blood sugars! Also, I am a woman like you IN perimenopause, so I know your frustrations --this is why I'm here to help!
I learned a long time ago that it wasn't about meal plans or detoxes.
I now know that discriminating someone for their weight is so much more harmful than eating a french fry.
I've learned that its less about the food, and more about what happens in your mind.
After reading a book called Intuitive Eating, I began to research its principles, and I began to realize that all the years I had been giving my clients meal plans or my reset books, I had been leading my clients down the wrong path!
The path to diet culture.
I realized it wasn't about diets and control, but about self-care.
It is my mission to help you break free from your limiting beliefs that are holding you back from everything you were created for!

"Using the Shape Your Plate Method got me back to consistent good eating. These are easy, doable things put to use even with my busy schedule!"

I'm so excited you are here!
I want to close with this. Know that you don't have to let the scale determine your happiness, what you eat, or how you should exercise. You don't need to feel like you have to start over every Monday. Our bodies are complex and each person is unique.
I know meals and meal planning can be overwhelming when there is so much information out there. I want you to have a CLARITY and CONFIDENCE and TRUST around your food choices.
If you have no idea where to start with food- I'm here to help.
When you avoid entire food groups (yes, even carbs), this sets you up to be stuck in that restriction/binge cycle. It's time to find that balance and harmony so we can make our next 40 years, our BEST 40 years!
With love and gratitude,
