If You Have Tried Everything and Still Feel Stuck, Here Is Why
Perimenopause and menopause change the rules completely. The strategies that worked in your 30s actively work against your body now. This is not a willpower problem. It is a biology problem.
Perimenopause Belly Fat That Will Not Budge
As estrogen drops, your body shifts fat storage to the abdomen. No amount of cardio or calorie cutting will fix this without addressing the hormonal root cause first.
Hormonal Imbalance Driving Weight Gain
Dropping estrogen, crashing progesterone, and rising cortisol work together to lock your body in fat storage mode, especially around the belly and waist.
Insulin Resistance and Menopause
Insulin resistance silently worsens through midlife and is one of the leading drivers of menopausal weight gain. Eating less makes it worse. Eating right fixes it.
Waking at 2 or 3am Every Night
Nighttime waking in menopause is almost always a cortisol and blood sugar issue. When blood sugar drops, cortisol surges to compensate and jolts you awake. This is fixable with food.
Hot Flashes and Menopause Brain Fog
Blood sugar spikes directly trigger hot flashes and mental fog. Targeted menopause nutrition stabilizes blood sugar and calms these symptoms faster than restriction ever will.
Normal Lab Results but Still Feel Terrible
Conventional testing misses the gap between normal and optimal. Functional nutrition identifies and corrects what standard blood panels overlook in midlife women.

After years in healthcare I watched the same story repeat itself: women doing everything right, eating clean, working out, cutting calories, and still gaining weight, battling hot flashes, and feeling completely exhausted and dismissed.
The problem was never effort. It was that no one explained why the rules change in midlife and what to do instead. Perimenopause and menopause require a completely different nutritional strategy, and most doctors and dietitians are not trained in it.
That is why I created Nutrition for Life, a root cause functional nutrition reset built specifically for women in perimenopause, menopause, and post-menopause. We restore your metabolism, naturally balance your hormones, and rebuild your body from the inside out so the results last.

- Fully adaptable for vegetarian and plant-based lifestyles
- Fully virtual one-on-one support from anywhere in the US
"I joined this program when I was at my wits end. I now know how to eat for my body. My energy is high all day, I sleep great, and the plantar fasciitis I thought was from weight gain? Just changed how I eat and it went away completely."

Real Women. Real Results.
Women just like you who were exhausted, dismissed, and done guessing. Here is what happened when they stopped restricting and started resetting.
My total cholesterol improved from 193 to 163 in one year. My bone density test that previously showed osteoporosis now shows osteopenia and my fracture risk dropped to 12%. My doctor told me to keep doing what I am doing. I learned to leave the diet mentality behind and finally understand how to nourish my body and burn fat efficiently. This is truly a lifestyle not a diet.
Jeri Missasi DennisonI lost 60 pounds, my energy improved, and my cravings decreased drastically. My blood sugars are stable and I feel it when I have an off day. I was post-menopausal with Type 2 diabetes and I tried everything. Then I found Michelle. Follow the program. It works. I am 69 and feel healthier than ever.
Karen LoveHot flashes are gone. Joint pain reduced so much I can now sleep on my side. Brain fog gone. I learned how to balance my meals and exercise correctly for my hormones. This program truly works.
Tonia GipsonI was on 3 prescriptions. The more I worked out and less I ate, the worse I felt. Within 3 months of joining I was off all prescriptions and lost 30 pounds and a bunch of inches. She gave me my freedom with food back.
Lisa WilkersonShe teaches you how to heal your body through food. Easy steps that work to reverse menopause symptoms including weight issues. I lost 15 pounds by just changing what I eat and when. NOT dieting. I still get ice cream when I want it but I crave it less.
Marybeth Roberts6 weeks in and I am finally sleeping. No more hot flashes and I am not craving like I used to. I feel like a 7 or 8 out of 10 and I was at zero when I started. This is not something you can Google. It takes the right support and the right plan.
Program Member, 6 Weeks InI was 219 pounds, hit a standstill at 183, and went back and forth to 187. I went through the teaching modules again and really put her knowledge into action. I have lost 4 more pounds in the last 2 weeks. Macronutrients finally make sense with Michelle Black.
Lisa FoleyI reduced the medications I am on and feel so much better. She is truly invested in the success of her clients. She answers questions in the community and offers weekly Zoom support calls. If you want a maintainable lifestyle she is your person.

Success Stories
Since following Michelle’s Nutrition for life program I have learned to leave the diet mentality behind that has been ingrained in me my entire adult life. I have learned how to incorporate macronutrients to nourish my body and burn fat efficiently. This is a lifestyle for nutrition and wellness and not a diet. Since following this lifestyle my total cholesterol went from 193 last year to 163 this year. Actually all my blood work numbers were excellent and the doctor was very pleased and told me to keep doing what I was doing. I encourage anyone struggling to reach out to Michelle for her expertise.

I’m 57 years of age. I’ve been on many different diets since I was in my twenties. They all worked short term. I was never able to maintain the weight loss after exiting a program. After I hit 40, nothing I had tried in the past worked beyond 5-10 pounds and after I gave up that weight came back plus more. I found something called macros 3 years ago and began studying about it and using it on my own. One huge mistake I made? I neglected the last part of the compound word, nutrients. Macronutrients makes more sense with Michelle Black. I was 219 and after coming to a standstill at 183 and going back and forth from there to 187 I went through her teaching modules again and am really putting her knowledge into action. I’ve lost 4 more pounds the last 2 weeks. When I started working with Michelle, I began to learn things I was not able to find in all my research. It has been eye opening and life changing!

If you are looking to get healthy and learn a maintainable lifestyle she is your girl!

Hey Michelle! I just HAD to text you! I started following you and trying to learn macros July 25th 2021...I took my measurements to send to you to have you do my macros...then I really went to work! I took my measurements on July 18th 2022 and figured it up! I have lost 21.91 inches altogether!!!!! 4.68 just in my waist!!!! HAVE I TOLD YOU THAT I LOVE YOU!!!!
___ Lisa Wilkerson
I’m a “why” person. I knew I wanted to pursue eating using Macros and had some initial success but I wanted to know how and why macros worked. I had been calculating how many of each macro (proteins, carbs, fat) I needed per day but the game changer for me was when Michelle taught me how and why I should be balancing PER MEAL! The information about glucose intolerance, what to do prior to eating celebration foods, how and why it’s necessary to stop dieting using low fat, no carb diets, how to include additional protein in each meal, how to gradually change how I eat balanced meals, quality foods vs, junk macronutrients, how to find acceptable foods while traveling ALL are things she teaches that I hadn’t found available prior to her program. And I can tell you because I’ve researched, her coaching and training programs are more personal, more targeted for each person’s issues, more valuable with less investment over longer period of time than ANY other program I have found. Do I get lazy and off track at times, yes. But you just pick up where you left off and go again. Michelle gives you the tools and puts you in the driver’s seat so you can be confident that you’ll succeed when you put the work in. She’s the best!
