I'm Anna.
With a background as a pre-med student in the 90s, my journey into the world of nutrition transformed my life. I fell in love with the power of food and its impact on health, and I haven’t looked back since. Today, I take immense pride in helping countless individuals healthier, happier lives through nutrition.
I thrive on the challenge of supporting women's health and guiding each individual to foster a better relationship with food and themselves. Nutrition can be simple and enjoyable, and I'm here to help you navigate that journey. Let's work together to create a healthier, more fulfilling lifestyle. transformation starts today!

My Mission
My mission is to guide women during a few of their most challenging times: around pregnancy and menopause.
My mission is to be a safe and trustworthy destination where they can come to in the midst of misinformation and confusion.
My mission is to be an inspiration so women can uncover and rediscover their own hidden resilience, power, and worth to become more than they thought possible.
My mission is to guide women into incorporating a realistic and sustainable lifestyle that will enhance their quality of life so they can finally feel their best as they grow wiser and prepare for the next decades of their lives.
It's a wonderful journey and I believe you are ready for it.
I was born in Brazil but moved to different countries since my dad worked for the WHO. My dream was to attend college in the U.S., and I chose to go to Michigan State University because I loved its history, beautiful campus and had relatives living nearby.
I was a pre-med student, but after taking a Nutrition 150 class, I decided to pursue Nutritional Sciences instead. I returned years later for a Master's Degree in Human Nutrition.
Fast forward to this decade: I remarried at the age of 49 to a wonderful man I met on a dating app (I know, crazy, right?!), and we have a big family together (two daughters each, so there's never a dull moment). We live in sunny San Diego County, where we enjoy the beautiful beaches, picking avocados and oranges from our backyard trees, going for hikes and bike rides, snuggling to watch a movie, and laughing at our cats' shenanigans. I'm always busy with kids, cooking, and work, but I try to find "me" time at least once daily to keep my sanity! :)
