You're Not "Just Hormonal" - And You're Not Broken...

You’ve been told it’s just perimenopause.
You’ve been offered antidepressants, anti-anxiety meds, or another referral to therapy.

But deep down, you know:

• Your mood swings, irritability, and rage aren’t “just in your head.”
• Your anxiety and low mood don’t feel fully explained by stress.
• You’re tired of white-knuckling your days and collapsing at night.
• Talking about your feelings hasn’t actually changed how you feel.
• You want real healing, not another band-aid.

You want to feel like yourself again—clear, grounded, and emotionally steady—
without having to rely on psychiatric medications.

That’s where my work comes in.

Metabolic psychology looks at your mental health through the lens of your metabolism, blood sugar, gut health, hormones, and inflammation—not just your thoughts and brain chemistry.

Instead of asking only, “What’s wrong with your mind?”
we also ask, “What’s happening in your body that could be driving your mood?”

Things like:

• Blood sugar highs and crashes that trigger anxiety, irritability, and cravings
• Chronic inflammation that can show up as depression and fatigue
• Nutrient deficiencies that affect neurotransmitters like serotonin and GABA
• Gut imbalances that influence your brain through the gut–brain axis
• Perimenopausal hormone shifts that impact sleep, mood, and stress responses

When we support your metabolism and gut, your brain often begins to feel safer, steadier, and more resilient.

Metabolic psychology does not replace your doctor or therapist, but for many women, it’s the missing piece they were never told about.

Why What You’ve Tried Hasn’t Worked (Yet)

You may have been told:

• “Your labs are normal.”
• “This is just what happens at your age.”
• “You’re just stressed; try to relax.”

And yet, you still feel:

• Moody, snappy, or on the verge of tears
• Anxious for no clear reason
• Numb, flat, or disconnected from yourself
• Overwhelmed by small things that never used to bother you
• Guilty, because on paper your life looks “fine”

That’s not a character flaw.
It’s often a physiological problem showing up as a psychological symptom.

Most traditional care focuses on managing symptoms (through meds or talk) rather than exploring whether your brain is simply responding to an unbalanced internal environment.

We change that.

Why Metabolic Psychology Is Different

Traditional mental health approaches often focus solely on thoughts, behaviors, or brain chemistry through medication. And while these can help, they often miss a crucial piece: your brain's physical health.

Metabolic psychology is an emerging field that recognizes:

• Your mental health is inseparable from your physical health
• Nutrition is medicine for your brain
• Simple, foundational dietary changes can have profound effects on mood
• Perimenopause creates unique metabolic challenges that impact mental wellbeing

This isn't "alternative" medicine—it's science-based support that works alongside whatever else you're doing for your mental health.

This Work Is for You If…

• You’re in perimenopause (or suspect you are) and your mood feels like a rollercoaster.
• You feel anxious, low, or unlike yourself—and you know “just wait it out” isn’t good enough.
• You’ve tried medications and/or therapy and didn’t get the relief you hoped for.
• You want to avoid going on psychiatric meds if possible—or explore a path to needing less.
• You want a natural, root-cause approach that respects both your brain and your body.
• You’re ready to make gentle, sustainable changes, not chase a quick fix.

If you’re looking for yet another band-aid, this isn’t it.
If you’re looking to understand why you feel this way and what to do about it—
you’re in the right place.
