Hey there, I’m Elisa.
Nutritionist and health coach.
Chief Energy Officer for driven and depleted women.
I’m not here for the narrative that midlife is a slow decline. It’s a recalibration.
You are not doomed to drag yourself through this season feeling tired all the time and “your labs are fine” shouldn’t be the end of the conversation.
My approach is holistic and evidence-based, hormone- and burnout-aware, and designed to help you rebuild steady energy.
I came to this work because I wanted health to feel joyful again. Not food as something to cut, restrict, or fear, but food as something that powers you and nourishes every part of who you are.
My mission is to help you get your energy back so you can rise up in leadership, business, and your communities, and make a real impact on the world. And ultimately, to show up for the things you care about without burning out.
Let me guess what landed you here.
You’ve built a life you love, but tired is starting to feel like your personality. You try to eat healthy, do all the things, and you still crash every afternoon or feel like you’re dragging through the day. You want to be sharp at work, eat well without it becoming another project, be present for your people, and still have energy left for fun (and intimacy) in the evenings.
This isn’t a discipline problem. That’s where I come in.
My approach is holistic, evidence-based, and hormone- and burnout-aware. Perimenopause might be part of the picture, but not the whole story. We look at minerals, blood sugar, digestion, gut health, stress, and sleep to find what’s really draining you.
I’m not the nutritionist who hands you a lifetime of supplements or tells you to skip takeout and girls’ nights.
We’ll build a rhythm inside your actual schedule, one that holds no matter how busy life gets, so you wake up with something in the tank and without the endless “shoulds.”
And we’re going to have a fabulous time doing it.
I call it the 14 Carrots Method because it’s about great food and the kind of shiny life you deserve. It's a play on 14K gold: beautiful, durable and designed for everyday life.
I believe the way you care for yourself should work the same way. Not precious. Not perfect. Not something that only works under ideal conditions. A way of eating and living that supports your energy, adapts with your life and helps you feel like you again. Just a little more vibrant, all the way through midlife and beyond.
My method is built on 5 key pillars:
Joy Matters. If you’re not enjoying yourself, it’s not the right fit.
Start Small, Go Big. We use simple tweaks that are multitasking for our metabolic and hormone health, and fit your life (not the other way around).
It’s All Connected. Your body isn’t a collection of separate parts, it’s one beautifully intertwined system. When we rebuild your foundations from the inside out, your energy, sleep, and mood finally have something solid to stand on.
Seasonal Living. Thoughtful adjustments through the year to help connect us to our environment and help the body’s natural rhythms flow.
Food Freedom. We ditch the diet mindset and transform your relationship with food.
My story started at fashion week.
I studied Kinesiology in university, dreaming of a career in sports medicine. But life had other plans, and fashion journalism found me first.
My first act took me across London, New York, and Toronto, producing shoots, covering runway shows, and building a career I loved. It was creative, fast-paced… and completely unsustainable.
I lived on Diet Coke and deadlines.
Behind the glossy bylines were exhaustion, body shame, and burnout I couldn’t outwork. At that point nutrition, to me, was just another diet to survive so I could fit into a sample size.
When I was 27, everything unraveled. My mom passed away from cancer and in the years that followed, I lost more close family members. I kept running. From grief, from exhaustion, from feeling. So after pivoting into marketing and climbing the ladder like I was supposed to, I only felt worse.
At one point, I remember thinking: What am I missing? I got sick plenty as a kid so what do I need to do to protect my longterm health? How could someone who seemed “healthy” feel this awful?
Those questions changed everything.
But my healing didn’t start perfectly. I dove into gut health, only to end up in a cycle of food fear, restriction, and cleanses that left me depleted. I tried cutting gluten, dairy, carbs, counting macros, but I wasn’t actually nourishing myself for the energy I needed to thrive.
And, after a lifetime of being able to sleep anywhere, being awake from 3-4:30 a.m. became my new normal.
Meditation was my turning point. It showed me just how far my head had drifted from my body and how much I’d been ignoring what I truly needed. Mindfulness opened the door to real wellness. I began learning how to relate to stress in a different way. I learned how to cook and found confidence in the kitchen while healing my relationship with food.
When I went back to school for nutrition (including 625 hours of training from the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition and certification from the American Council on Exercise), everything clicked. I finally understood how digestion, stress, blood sugar, and hormones intertwine. And I wish I had known earlier how burnout shows up in our biology long before it shows up in our calendar.
Today, in my 40s, I feel more like myself than ever with energy, focus, and clarity.
I still love my morning coffee, a good glass of wine, and the occasional donut, but now I know how to support my body so those moments are part of a vibrant, balanced life (not what derails it).
And I know this is possible for you, too. Seriously. If I can go from a candy fiend with nothing but egg whites and salsa in my fridge to dancing my way through meal prep, you can too.
