You’re eating well, exercising, and seeing doctors — yet still struggle with weight gain, low energy, bloating, and a body that won’t respond. If your labs are “normal” but you don’t feel normal, this channel is for you.
I’m Michelle Black, RN and Nutritionist, and I specialize in helping women in perimenopause and menopause understand why their body stops responding the way it used to — and what actually works when diets, fasting, and generic advice don’t.
This channel focuses on:
• Menopause & perimenopause weight gain
• “Normal labs” but persistent symptoms
• Hormonal and metabolic regulation after 35
• Inflammation, bloating, and energy crashes
• Why willpower isn’t the problem — and never was
I don’t promote quick fixes or extreme protocols. I help women get clarity, stop blaming themselves, and make informed decisions that support their health long-term.
If you’re done guessing and ready to understand what’s really happening in your body, you’re in the right place.

Meet Mary 😄
She’s how I explain hormones, stress, and digestion without confusing charts or medical jargon.
If your body has felt “off” lately — even though labs look normal — Mary helps show why.
Have you met Mary yet? 👀

Stress doesn’t just affect your mood — it shows up in hormones, digestion, and the pelvic floor too.
I’m hosting a free virtual workshop with a pelvic floor physical therapist to connect these dots and talk about what actually helps.
If your body feels “stuck” despite doing the right things, this conversation may be helpful.

Quick poll: when menopause weight shows up, does it feel more ‘puffy/inflamed’ or like actual fat?

Have you ever wondered why you feel puffy — even when you’re eating well and exercising?
I just posted a new video explaining why this is often inflammation, not fat.

Be honest for a second…
have you ever wondered
“Is it my fault?”
I just updated today’s video because this question comes up more than women admit when their body feels stuck.

“My labs are normal… so why do I still feel stuck?”
I made this video because I hear this every single week.

“I’m doing everything right… so why do I still feel off?”
If your labs are ‘normal’ but your body doesn’t feel normal anymore — especially in your 40s or beyond — you’re not alone.
This is exactly why I made this video.

Ever been told your labs are “normal”… but your body doesn’t feel normal at all?
Fatigue.
Bloating.
Stubborn belly fat.
Hot flashes.
Low energy or libido.
This is incredibly common in midlife — and it often happens before labs show anything out of range.
I put together a free guide that explains:
• why symptoms show up first
• what labs can miss early on
• and how to support your body before things escalate
