Hello M2MN followers! Today’s post is brought to you by a dear friend and colleague of mine, Gretchen. Gretchen is the founder of the Functional Kitchen and a licensed dietitian nutritionist, just like yours truly! Gretchen and I lived and learned together during graduate school at Case Western Reserve University… just a few, um, well, gosh, about FIFTEEN YEARS AGO. Wow, we’ll just leave it at that lol.
While I’m typically in the trenches with kid’s snacks, picky eating, and tackling family mealtime, Gretchen’s specializes in nutrition for YOU. Momma bear! Putting it a little more professionally: Gretchen is passionate about empowering women to live their most confident, compassionate and self-assured life. SIGN ME UP!

When I asked Gretchen to share a little more about her nutrition philosophy, in particular as it pertains to weight loss, she took the time in a video to share all about it. If you’re always hungry… this video is for YOU!
Are you always hungry? Learn how a blood sugar and gut optimization approach can quiet your cravings, help you lose weight, and keep it off!

Gosh- THIS STUFF FACINATES ME! I mean, there’s a method to our madness in the nutrition world, right?! And as much as I’m concerned with my children’s diet, if I’m not taking care of myself, WHAT GOOD WILL I BE TO ANYONE ELSE?! Yes, I’m shouting with excitement. But there’s more….
If this sounds like you, or like this could work for you, take a look at Gretchen’s nutrition programs:
“Is It My Hormones?” free masterclass available on-demand through 4/10/24.

AND DRUMROLL FOR HER NEW PROGRAM: reIGNITE

reIGNITE, a six week fat loss + blood sugar optimization program for women. I’ll let you guys do the clicking and reading, but seriously, the program is for you if:
You are an ambitious, high-achieving, stressed woman struggling with weight, energy, and confidence about what to eat to support your health.
OR
You have PCOS, prediabetes, suspect (or know!) you are in perimenopause, or are postmenopausal and feel powerless when it comes to losing weight.
OR
You know your diet needs something beyond a calories in < calories out approach so you can feel better, sleep better, stay energized, and enjoy life.
Anyone interested in the program can join through the link above, or schedule a complimentary nutrition evaluation call to explore if this is a good fit.
Are you ready?! I was hoping for a Taylor Swift mic drop moment there….
A big THANK YOU to Gretchen for not only taking the time to share her expertise with us, but for being a professional in this space. This Momma Bear is just fine focusing on toddler meals and picky eating. I’ve got my girls who can help handle the hormones!
