HI! I'M BRANDI SMITH
MENOPAUSE COACHING SPECIALIST AND
HEALTH, FITNESS & NUTRITION COACH
I specialize in helping women 40+ navigate perimenopause and menopause with confidence - achieving a body they love and sustainable long-term results without fad diets or endless hours in the gym. My approach focuses on making the journey enjoyable while providing education on the science behind your changing body, empowering you to sustain your results forever.
​
As someone who has personally experienced the challenges of perimenopause, I understand the frustration of suddenly feeling like nothing works anymore. That's why I became a certified menopause coaching specialist, to help women like you break free from the confusion and get real, lasting results through both phases of this transition.
​
I'm also a certified transformational health and life coach, certified personal trainer, and certified fitness nutrition specialist. Since 2020, I've been guiding women towards becoming their best selves using my Menopause Body Reset - no restrictive eating, magic products, or subscription gimmicks required.
​
But I'm not your average coach.
I'm a committed accountability partner, cheerleader, and educator for women who are tired of yo-yo diets, constant restarts, and feeling invisible in a fitness industry that wasn't designed for their changing bodies. My approach is honest and straightforward, but always kind, compassionate, and non-judgmental. You'll get the real facts about what works during menopause, delivered with care and understanding, because this journey is challenging enough without harsh criticism or unrealistic expectations.
​
Through my 1:1 and group coaching experiences, I empower you with the strategy, knowledge, resources, and support you need to create the body and life you deserve, whether that's feeling confident in your skin, building muscle, reducing body fat, improving health outcomes, balancing hormones, or gaining more energy for your day-to-day life.

WHY I BECAME A COACH
MY STORY
I've walked the path you're on—and I've been to both extremes.
​
I went from being overweight and battling hormonal challenges due to PCOS, uncomfortable in my own skin, to swinging to the opposite extreme: severely underweight at 105 lbs from excessive exercise and disordered eating. I lost critical hormonal functions that my body needed to thrive, all in pursuit of what I thought "healthy" looked like.
That's when I knew there had to be a better way.
​
I made it my life's work to understand the real science behind nutrition, metabolism, and hormonal health. I learned how to heal my relationship with food, fix my hormonal imbalances, and restore my metabolism—not through restriction, but through nourishment. I discovered that eating is an act of self-love, and that the way we feed ourselves reflects how we truly feel about ourselves.
​
For the first time, I felt freedom with food and my body. I stabilized at a healthy weight, my hormonal functions returned to normal, and I finally understood how to take care of myself in a way that felt nurturing rather than punishing.
​
Then perimenopause hit—and suddenly, everything I'd learned seemed to stop working. The strategies that had sustained me for years weren't enough anymore. My body was changing again, and I needed new answers. That journey led me to become a certified menopause coaching specialist, so I could help women navigate this transition without the years of struggle I experienced.
​
Now, I use this hard-won knowledge with my clients - women who are losing weight, gaining incredible energy, building strength, and feeling confident in their bodies without restrictive dieting or deprivation. They're doing the activities they love, keeping up with their kids and/or grandkids, and proving that age is just a number when you have the right approach. They're eating foods they actually enjoy while achieving lasting results, because sustainable transformation isn't about perfection. It's about understanding your body and working with it, not against it.

SUCCESS STORIES
REAL PEOPLE, REAL RESULTS
I have worked out and been fit and healthy my whole adult life, and then I hit 50, broke my wrist in the middle of winter and could not shed the perimenopausal weight that started to accumulate and settle around my middle. I worked at it for two years on my own, but the weight wouldn't budge, and I knew I needed help. I wanted someone who understood what it was like to be a perimenopausal woman and who had expert knowledge of how hormones were affecting my journey. Brandi is that someone.
​
Brandi's approach is considered and caring. She knows the only way to achieve lasting change is to focus on the big picture - it's not only about a number on the scale; it's about the "why". By continuously bringing me back to my motivation, Brandi made the journey one of learning, reflection and habit-building.
​
After our time together, not only have I lost the weight I wanted, I have also built lean muscle mass; gained a whole new set of delicious recipes; and learned about what my body - at this age and stage - needs to be and stay healthy into the future! Working with Brandi was fun, challenging, and exactly what I needed!
