ABOUT MAC

Hi, I’m Mac.

I’m so glad you’re here. 

For most of my adult life, I struggled with chronic stomach issues. I followed the conventional path — doctor visits, medications, and pushing through — but nothing ever seemed to address the why behind what I was experiencing. Eventually, I had to make significant changes to the way I was eating, including going gluten- and dairy-free.

My body was speaking to me through my symptoms long before I learned how to listen. And like so many women, I kept going until I simply couldn’t anymore.

As a lifelong exerciser — including running two marathons and completing numerous triathlons — I thought I was doing everything “right.” I ate healthy, stayed active, and kept going. But in my 40s, my body started speaking even louder — through a frozen shoulder, night sweats, heart palpitations that woke me in the middle of the night, and high cholesterol even though I was eating "clean". That was a big wake-up call that midlife health required a different approach.

Over time, I've  navigated  Hashimoto’s, insulin resistance, adrenal dysfunction, chronic gut issues, estrogen dominance, and eventually medically induced menopause. At the time, I didn’t fully understand how much hormonal change, disrupted sleep, stress, and years of living in fight-or-flight had affected my body. I just knew that what had worked before stopped working.

That realization changed the way I approached my health. I started looking at the bigger picture — hormones, nutrition, movement, sleep, mindset, stress, and the nervous system — and began to understand how deeply connected they all are.

Now, at 56, I define health very differently. I still love movement — lifting, walking, biking, and yoga — but I’ve also learned the value of nervous-system regulation, importance of recovery,  nourishment, strength, mobility, and creating habits that truly support this season of life.

Healthy doesn’t look the same for everyone. It’s about becoming the best version of yourself in this chapter — with greater awareness, more self-trust, and a willingness to listen to what your body is telling you.

Today, I’m a Nationally Board-Certified Health and  Master Neuro/Mindset  Coach,  helping women navigate midlife with more clarity, confidence, and practical support. My work is where science meets soul — blending science-backed strategies with mindset, movement, nutrition, nervous-system support, and simple daily habits that fit into real life.

It’s the foundation of everything I teach: small steps, greater awareness, and learning how to work in partnership with your body in this season of life. 

Wishing you health and happiness,
Macara
