Confused about what to eat during midlife hormonal changes?

Discover the essential nutrients your body craves during this transformational phase of life!

    Wendie Taylor Online Dietitian

    Hi! I'm Wendie.

    Welcome to my corner of the internet! I’m Wendie Taylor, a Registered Dietitian with over 22 years of experience, but more importantly, I’m a woman walking through the same midlife shifts that you are.  

    If you’ve ever thought….

    • “I’m eating healthy but nothing’s working anymore.” 
    • “My energy crashes by 2pm and I can’t sleep through the night.” 
    • “I just don’t feel like myself in my own body anymore.”

    …you are not alone.  I know how confusing and frustrating it feels when the old rules stop working.

    Over the years, I’ve learned that true health isn’t about restriction or willpower. It’s not about chasing numbers on the scale or surviving on coffee until dinner.  Real health is about supporting your body’s changing needs with compassion, flexibility, and pratical strategies that actually fit your life. 

    Through my own journey (from my 20’s of skipping meals and dieting myself skinny…to today, where I feel stronger and more grounded), I’ve discovered what really makes the difference: fueling your body consistently, creating supporting habits, and breaking free from the food rules that keep you stuck in the endless cycles.   

    Now, my passion is helping women in perimenopause and beyond: 

    💛 Understand what their body actually needs in this phase of life

    💛 Build hormone-smart meals that keep energy steady and cravings in check

    💛 Redefine health on their own terms…without diets or guilt.  

     

        

    I know there’s a million nutrition messages that all say different things about what to eat as a woman in midlife.

    That’s why inside my programs I focus on a holistic approach that supports not only your physical health, but also your emotional and mental well-being. Together, we’ll work on steady energy, fewer cravings, and better sleep.

    Because you don’t need another strict plan.  You need a way forward that feels doable, freeing, and life-giving.

    🕯️The smell of a candle that instantly calms you down

    ✨Consistency over perfection

    🌺Finding Joy in little things (sunsets, fresh flowers, coffee shops)

    What I'm Not About:

    ❌ Hustle Culture or Burnout Vibes

    ❌ Comparing myself (or you!) to anyone else

    ❌ Quick Fixes that don’t last

    Client Testimonials

    "After four years in recovery from disordered eating, I continued to struggle with knowing how to nourish my body well, and that required more guidance than Instagram or Pinterest could give. Wendie's gentle and loving approach was exactly what God knew I needed to work through years of harmful messaging, unnecessary guilt and shame, and diet culture trauma. Her "Shape Your Plate" method and "Freedom After 40" course were pivotal in helping me learn how to create balanced meals, especially while navigating perimenopause! And after experiencing a distressing visit to my doctor's office, Wendie was not only supportive, but she smashed the fat-phobic lies I was told and showed me changes I could make with food and natural supplements to improve those health concerns. I couldn't feel more grateful for Wendie's support and that she accompanied me on my path to food freedom."

    Chrissy Kirkman
    FINDINGbalance Executive Director

    "I am so thankful I have gotten to a place where my goals are not to lose weight, change my body shape, or burn a certain amount of calories. My motivation now comes from a place of self-care. My new goals are to increase my strength, reduce my stress load, work on my sleep habits, and improve my overall flexibility. I knew I had to do the work, but with her guidance and support I wouldn't have been able to overcome my struggles with food and my body. THANK YOU WENDIE!"

    Emily from Baltimore

    "Here I am sitting in my yard in a tank top! I have not worn anything sleeveless even in my own house for over 10 years! Until about 6 weeks ago, I didn't even know I was allowed to love myself exactly as I look, with bigger and flabbier arms than I want to have in this moment. Feeling very grateful for this program for letting me understand it's ok if I don't love the way I look in a tank top. I can notice that thought, think about some things that I do love about myself to balance out my thinking and move on comfortably. I am outdoors, getting some sun, moving my body and doing yard work so things are good. And the way my arms look right now really does not matter much at all!"

    Melissa from Calgary

    "Before I started working with Wendie, I felt out of control and not connected with my body. Her program helped me be in control of what I choose to eat and how I choose to move my body. I am now able to eat a cookie or two or some chips without feeling like I can’t stop. I can enjoy sweets without feeling like I need to earn them or burn them off. My relationship with food feels more at peace. I’m learning to be comfortable in my body size and not spend hours trying to figure out how to be smaller. I’m learning to take up space and that feels so good."

    Holly from Oregon
