About Me

Certified Health Coach | Registered Pharmacist | Weight Loss Specialist

I grew up in Kyiv (then called Kiev), Ukraine. From a young age I heard comments about my body “too big,” “needs to slim down.” My mom, doing the best she knew, enrolled me in eight years of ballet hoping it would help. I wasn’t “fat”; I was a kid with a changing body. But those words stayed with me.

Over time I learned to measure myself against models and other girls. I tried different diets like Weight Watchers, South Beach, paleo, keto always searching for a version of me that finally felt “right.” I bought baggy clothes to look thinner and wore mostly black because I believed it made me appear smaller. Even when I did everything “perfect,” I still didn’t feel at home in my skin.

I thought I was doing everything right: eating healthy and exercising. Yet the scale crept up a pound here, a pound there. Then menopause began, and the weight gain came faster. I felt bloated, my clothes stopped fitting, and my confidence dropped even more. I felt stuck.

I was stuck in survival mode exhausted, tired and stressed.

I tried being “good,” then stricter plans, then starting over on Mondays. Nothing stuck. The noise was endless eat this, don’t eat that while real life kept happening. I would feel bad and to make myself feel better I would get a snack. The willpower only lasted for so long.

So I rebuilt from the basics. I focused on balancing hormones, mostly insulin levels, lowering inflammation and cortisol, and shifting my mindset from perfection to consistency. I simplified food (protein first), moved my body, protected sleep, and celebrated small daily wins.

I lost 14 pounds, dropped a size, and most importantly my confidence came back. I have more energy, fewer cravings, and I finally feel like myself again. I even bought new clothes (a size smaller) and liked what I saw in the mirror.

Not just weight loss, stronger, clearer, and confident again!
