Meet Michelle Black, RN
Michelle Black, RN | Functional Nutrition + Lifestyle | Perimenopause through post-menopause
Michelle Black has been a Registered Nurse for 30 years and has worked in nutrition and lifestyle for 20. She is also a former competitive bodybuilder and bikini competitor, which gave her firsthand experience with the discipline, consistency, nutrition, training, and real-life demands involved in changing body composition. That experience complements her nursing and nutrition background, so she understands body composition from the inside, not just from a textbook.
Over those years, Michelle kept meeting the same woman. She is in perimenopause, menopause, or post-menopause, and the things that used to work are no longer working. She is already doing a lot of things right. She has learned a lot about health, nutrition, and hormones, and she has tried a lot. Some women use hormone therapy, some cannot, and some choose not to.
Changes in her body, energy, sleep, or how she feels day to day are usually what send her looking for help. But the deeper problem is not a lack of information. She still does not know what applies to her body or what matters first. She may even know the change she is supposed to make, but not how to make it hold in an actual meal, a busy day, a weekend, or the rest of real life.
What she is missing is a clear process for knowing what applies to her, what matters first, how to carry it out consistently, what response to watch for, and when to move forward. More than anything, she wants to feel like herself again.
Why Michelle Does Not Start With a Universal Fix
There is no single cause behind every woman's symptoms, and no one approach that works for everyone. Two women with the same symptoms can need very different first changes. Each woman's pattern is individual, and it can change as she changes.
That is why Michelle slows the process down and helps her clients stop and look closely at what they are actually doing. She looks at the individual woman, her patterns, nutrition, lifestyle, symptoms, and relevant data, to determine what deserves attention first. From there, working with Michelle follows a clear process:
- Together, they identify her dominant pattern right now.
- They locate where it is actually happening: which meals, which days, which situations.
- They choose one appropriate first lever to change.
- She applies and practices that one change consistently in her real meals and real days until it holds.
- They observe how her body responds.
- Once there is a clear enough trend, that response determines what comes next, so she stops guessing and stops piling on changes.
When a woman tells Michelle, "I already know this," that points to where to look next. She understands the information. But has she mastered applying it consistently in real life? Knowing what to do is not the same as knowing how to do it consistently in real life. That is the skill Michelle teaches.
That gap is what working with Michelle is designed to change. Instead of adding more information or more things to do, the focus is on helping each woman determine what matters now, apply the right change consistently in her real life, observe how her body responds, and use that response to determine what comes next. It is not another information course, a diet, a meal plan, or a quick fix, and it works alongside her medical care rather than replacing it.
The women who do best are ready to stop restarting and follow a different process, even when slowing down and working on one thing at a time goes against their nature.
