Hi I'm Josephine and welcome to LifeSHIFT Wellness. As a Certified Nutritionist & Stress Resiliency Coach I am passionate about empowering my clients to prioritize their health at midlife so they can age with vitality. My clients don't need more information, they need support in making a transformation in their health so that doctor visits rather than hospital visits are all they need as they age.

My work is rooted in a whole-body approach to nutrition and wellness that goes far beyond what's on the plate. I look at how metabolism, blood sugar, hormones and inflammation all impact one another - and how stress, movement, sleep and digestion shape the way the body responds. I am also a realist and recognize how busy life is and how change can ebb and flow - there has to be room for real life and food choices that bring joy.

My goal with every client I work with is to help them find and understand the root cause of their symptoms so they can move beyond symptom management and work toward long term resolution. My passion is rooted in walking the caregiver path with my mom as she aged and dementia took hold. Managing my mother's health challenges taught me how many of the issues that steal our strength and independence later in life begin quietly, years before we notice them. It also was a great teacher about my own health and the challenges I struggled with as a result of this journey which led me to seek higher education in health and wellness. Perimenopause and menopause can be a difficult journey if we don't stop to care for ourselves the way we care for others, and the men in our lives don't even realize that they have their own version of midlife change called andropause. Focusing on our health at midlife (or earlier) is imperative to living longer and healthier as we age.

LifeSHIFT Wellness was named after the shifts that happen to our bodies and mental wellbeing as we age and with the philosophy that small shifts can make big impacts. I am here to support each client's journey with compassion, knowledge and personalized care, so you can cut through all the noise and better understand what is right for your body because cookie-cutter programs and trends do not create lasting change or health.

I offer science-backed programs and a clear roadmap to better health with as much support and accountability as each client needs, so that transformation is real and long-lasting. Metabolic Balance lab-informed nutrition is the cornerstone of my programs which include a general Reset & Renew Program for men or women looking to address pre-diabetes, digestive issues, heart health or blood pressure concerns or learn proper nutrition while on or weaning off a GLP-1 medication, along with specific programs for perimenopause, menopause and andropause. Completing a program with a partner or friend creates added support and momentum. Other services include gut health, food sensitivity and hormone testing for a "test don't guess approach". I look forward to welcoming you to my community and offer a 30-minute complimentary Metabolic Health Review where we will discuss your health goals and you will walk away with 3 steps you can start immediately to support your health.
