Food Shouldn’t Feel This Complicated

You can know all about protein, fiber, blood sugar and bone health and yet you still stand in your kitchen at 6:00pm wondering what to make for dinner.

The Well Nourished Women’s Circle is where we bring it all back to food – learning how to cook it, make it delicious, and use what we know about nutrition in real life.

Join The Circle

What’s Inside the Circle?

Everything inside is designed to help you cook more confidently, understand the nutrition that matters, and make feeding yourself well easier.

Cooking Together

This is the heart of the Circle. Each month, we’ll meet online, live from my kitchen for an approachable cooking class where we’ll make nourishing, delicious food together while building skills you can use far beyond a single recipe.

Come cook along with me or simply watch and learn. Every class is recorded, so you can come back to it whenever you’re ready to cook.

The Recipe Box

A growing collection of reliable, flexible recipes from our classes and my own kitchen. Essential pantry guides and kitchen tips. These aren’t recipes and ideas designed to sit forgotten in a folder – they’re the kinds of recipes you’ll want to make again, adapt to what you have, and eventually know well enough to make your own.

Around the Table

Because there’s still plenty to talk about beyond what’s for dinner. Around the Table is where we’ll have honest, evidence-based conversations about the food and nutrition issues that matter to women in midlife – from menopause and weight changes to protein, supplements, nutrition trends and new research.

Bring your questions, your experiences and your curiosity.

Hi, I’m Heather.

I’m a culinary nutritionist, trained chef and cooking teacher, and I’ve spent decades helping women understand the connection between food and their health.

But the longer I do this work, the more convinced I am that knowing what to eat is only part of the equation. We can talk all day about protein, fiber, blood sugar, bone health and the latest nutrition research, but eventually we have to walk into the kitchen and figure out what to make for dinner.

That’s the part I love.

I created The Well Nourished Women’s Circle to bring together the things I care about most: good food, practical cooking skills, sound nutrition science and a community of women who want to nourish themselves well without making food another source of stress.

You don’t have to love cooking or consider yourself a “good cook” to belong here. Bring your questions, your curiosity and a willingness to learn. I’ll meet you in the kitchen.

Have a Question? Start Here…

Do I need to be a good cook to join??

Absolutely not. You can be comfortable in the kitchen, completely out of practice, or still convinced you “can’t cook.” You’re welcome to cook along during classes or simply watch and learn. The goal is to build your confidence and skills over time.

Do I need special ingredients or kitchen equipment?

No. I want what we do together to work in a real home kitchen. You’ll receive recipes and any ingredient or equipment information ahead of each class so you can decide whether you’d like to cook along.

Is this only about cooking?

No. Cooking is at the heart of the Circle, but I’m also a culinary nutritionist specializing in women’s health in midlife. Around the Table is where we can talk about nutrition, menopause, weight, protein, supplements, health trends and other topics that matter to us at this stage of life.

In Their Own Words

Good food, good information and a little support can change more than what ends up on your plate. Here’s what a few women have shared about their experience working with me…

"The fact that the program has structure and flexibility was exactly what I needed to start, and you made it super easy to follow! I’ve learned a lot, not just about food and meal prep, but I feel like some of the tools can be carried into almost every facet of my hectic life."

"The food has been delicious and I have more energy. I meditate and journal often, walk the dog 3 miles everyday and do yoga & strength training for exercise too. The balance of activities plus the healthy food has really helped me stay focused on my health goals."

"Weight gain and the resulting Type II diabetes prompted my search for a nutritionist at the encouragement of my GP. I’ve been working with Heather for six months, have lost 20 lbs. and have my glucose back in the normal range. Hooray! -Jacque N.

"I could not have been happier with my sessions with Heather. My relationship with food has changed in a positive way and I’m excited to continue my journey of health with all the tools Heather has given me." - Christian N.

“I want to thank you for your program, I really appreciate the time you spent guiding me through it. The fact that it has structure and yet is flexible was exactly what I needed to start, and you made it super easy to follow!" -Debbie C.

“I recently had my yearly physical and all my numbers came back lower, my pre-diabetes is now nonexistent and I take no medications. Switching to a plant-based diet was the way to go – thanks for your help! I love cooking now, you got me off to the right start – thank you!" - Joyce M.

“Most of us know what we should be eating and what we shouldn’t. But how to make that happen on a regular basis when up against the time pressures of modern life? It’s enough to make you want to throw in the towel. My last ditch effort was to consult with Heather Carey. Boy was I glad I took that chance." - Susan

“Since starting the program I feel great! Lighter, better complexion, less joint pain - definitely feel better. I ate foods I previously thought I didn't like and found them to be delicious. II would definitely recommend this program to a friend. Overall, it was excellent, so happy that I decided to sign up!” -Sally O.

Pull Up a Chair

The Well Nourished Women’s Circle is a place to come back to food, learn something new, ask questions, and become more confident in your own kitchen.

You don’t need to have it all figured out. You don’t even need to love cooking yet. Just bring your curiosity and a willingness to try.

I’ll bring the recipes, the nutrition science and plenty of good food.

I hope you’ll join me at the table.
