Support for Those Struggling with Bone Health, Blood Sugar, and Digestion

Are you over 40 and feeling like your best days are behind you? Maybe you’ve been diagnosed with osteopenia or osteoporosis and are worried about your bone health. Perhaps you’re tired of struggling with digestive issues like bloating, gas, constipation, or acid reflux. Has your doctor told you to “eat better,” but you’re unsure where to start? Are you dealing with pre-diabetes, diabetes, or sugar addiction and don’t know how to regain control?

If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, I understand how you feel. Doubling over from abdominal pain after eating might seem normal, but it isn’t. Being told that your bones are getting brittle is not just a “normal part of aging.” And living with autoimmune symptoms or worrying about progressing from pre-diabetes to diabetes doesn’t have to be your reality.

I’ve been where you are, and I can help. Together, we’ll address your concerns, fine-tune your nutrition and lifestyle, and work on rebuilding your health with personalized guidance and practical tools.

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.”

Maureen has a very inviting and educational approach!

I felt hopeful and knew I could follow her direction into making small changes that would make a difference. . . Apart from losing 14 pounds (my husband lost 30, of course) . . . we have kept it off, our sleep is sweet and we are more active. Sugar no longer has control of my life. I eat more food now than ever before, feel so much better in all aspects of my life and just am delighted to have the honor of recommending Maureen to you. She cares about health and will help you to care and succeed too!
