Your Body’s Changing…

And it’s not just in your head.

Your energy, sleep, mood, and metabolism all feel different, and no one ever gave you the rulebook for how to handle it.

So let’s rewrite it.

Because everything changes after 40 – your body, your priorities, your tolerance for nonsense.

This isn’t about restriction or chasing who you used to be. It’s about learning what your body needs now and finding ease in feeding it well.

Midlife isn’t the problem.

It’s the invitation.

Midlife Changes Everything. Let’s Make it Work For You

Courses and Community

The Well Nourished Woman Community

Where midlife gets real — and nothing’s off the table.

Welcome to The Well Nourished Woman Community, a place for women who are ready to stop going it alone and start talking about what’s really happening in midlife.

Midlife isn’t about falling apart — it’s falling into place, just with more opinions and less estrogen. Everything’s shifting: hormones, routines, what actually feels good. The old “eat less, do more” advice? Hard pass. It’s time for a smarter, saner approach.

This is where we change that.

Inside The Well Nourished Woman Community, we talk about all of it — the stuff you can’t say at the dinner table, the questions you wish your doctor would answer, and the moments that make you laugh, cry, and sometimes both in the same hour.

And the place where it all begins? The Midlife Lounge.

It’s your entry point into the community – free to join, full of women who get it, and designed for the honest, real, “no-filter” kind of conversations we all need.

So grab a mocktail, kick off your heels, and come join us. No perfection. No judgment. Just connection, laughter, and the relief of realizing you’re not doing midlife alone.

Cooking for Midlife Wellness

The Nourished Kitchen Membership

Where food becomes self-care — and cooking feels simple again.

Healthy eating shouldn’t feel like a chore. It’s not about rules, restrictions, or chasing perfection. It’s about learning how to cook and eat in a way that actually fits your life right now — nourishing your body, boosting your energy, and bringing a little joy back into your kitchen.

Inside The Nourished Kitchen, you’ll find everything you need to make that happen:

Live Cooking Classes — Cook along with me and learn real-life recipes designed for midlife women. Simple, flavorful, hormone-friendly meals you’ll actually want to make again.

Monthly Foodie Challenges — Fun, bite-sized challenges that help you try new foods, build better habits, and rediscover confidence in the kitchen.

Real Connection — You’re not doing this alone. You’ll meet other women who are on the same path — curious, real, and ready to make midlife cooking feel easy (and maybe even fun).

This is your space to slow down, get inspired, and finally feel good about what’s on your plate.

Don’t take my word for it. Here’s what a few real women had to say

No gimmicks, no diets — just real changes from women who learned how to make food work for them again.

“I was ready to get started with working with Heather, it’s been a long time coming! I can’t believe the amount of processed foods/sugar I was eating! It was scary.

What’s important to know is that this is NOT a diet. This is a lifestyle and once you try it, you will never want to go back to the way you were eating before. I used to always want to lose that 20 pounds in two weeks. When I didn’t, I would get frustrated, give up and gain more weight! Heather taught me to take my time and go by my body and trust that I will lose weight as I am supposed to.”

- Meredith N.

“It is so very rare to find in one person a master chef dedicated to organic foods and healthy living, combined with her expertise as a top quality educator in nutrition for kids, adults and people with medical conditions. As both a nutritionist and a chef, Heather Carey is a one stop shop for anyone looking to learn how to eat, learn how to cook deliciously healthy foods and gain the tools needed to take control of your health and wellness through food.”

- Hilary B.

“I had developed some really bad habits and had forgotten what food was all about. I cannot believe how easily I let things slip. If I had one more plate of grilled vegetables and a side of protein, I’d lose it. In a way, I did; I lost all interest in cooking because it just wasn’t fun anymore and there was too much focus on eliminating carbs or some new research that was making my head spin.

Am I getting some sort of emotional satisfaction from making these meals and that feeling is ‘crowding out’ the negative aspect of emotional eating? I just don’t feel like having the treats at the end of the meal because the main meal has satisfied me on so many levels. I enjoy cooking again and that means so much to me.”

- Pam P.

“I’m so thankful that I decided to work with Heather. A lot of what we discussed and the ideas she gave me really took hold. I’m cooking more, and I have easily doubled our intake of vegetables on a weekly basis. I don’t throw away the kale any longer! I go through a bag or two each week. Chickpeas are on a weekly rotation, and I’ve ventured into quinoa and farro. Sometimes for breakfast. My energy, digestive system - even my skin tone - have all improved. All good and so illuminating. It’s not “perfect” (what is?) but I am certainly no longer “failing at food” and that feels great."

- Karen K.

Hey There, I’m Heather.

If you’ve ever been tempted by the latest fad diet, spent too much on a food sensitivity test, or downloaded one more wellness app only to end up exactly where you started – I get it.

You’re not alone.

I’ve been there, too. As a woman in midlife and a clinical nutritionist, I know how confusing this season can be, when what used to work suddenly doesn’t.

That’s why I combine real food, real science, and real-life strategies to help women ditch the dieting rollercoaster and feel good again – strong, calm, and confident in their bodies.

You deserve a way of eating that feels nourishing, enjoyable, and doable – without restriction, guilt, or overwhelm.

Let’s rewrite the rules of midlife wellness, together.
