My Story

A Nurse's Journey Through the "Triple Threat"

For years, I felt like I was piecing together my own health from a scattered collection of resources that never fully saw me. As a woman who had navigated bariatric surgery and a long-term eating disorder recovery, I understood the intricate relationship between my physical and psychological health. When menopause began, it felt like a "perfect storm" —hormonal shifts were compounded by the unique metabolic needs of a post-surgical body, and the physical changes brought back body image struggles I thought I had overcome.

I found myself navigating a healthcare landscape that treated each condition in a silo. Menopause platforms didn't account for bariatric nutrient malabsorption, and bariatric apps lacked the psychological nuance needed for someone with a history of eating disorders. I was left with a cascade of unanswered questions and a significant emotional burden, feeling misunderstood and isolated. I knew there had to be a better way—a single, integrated resource that acknowledged and understood the interplay of these conditions.

This personal journey ignited a professional purpose. I realized that my unique combination of lived experience and clinical expertise as a nurse could fill this void. I wrote The Midlife Metamorphosis .
