How I Support Women Through Menopause
Nutrition is my passion—and figuring out how it all works in the body is my kind of superpower. I’m a registered dietitian who specializes in plant-forward nutrition for women going through menopause, and I love helping clients make sense of what can often feel like a confusing stage of life.
I take a very personal approach—getting to know your story, your symptoms, and your goals—because there is no “one-size-fits-all” way to eat through menopause. Your nutritional path is unique, and I’m here for the questions, the challenges, and the “what on earth is happening to my body?” moments.

A Word From Our Founder
Meet Cathy Schmelter, Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN)
My journey with Plant Based Nutrition for Life began with a deep curiosity and appreciation for the incredible connection between food and health. I’ve always been fascinated by the power of plants—and I’ll happily admit that I’m a bit of a fruit and vegetable nerd! There is something truly inspiring about how simple, colorful foods from the earth can provide so much nourishment and support our bodies in meaningful ways.
I created Plant Based Nutrition for Life because I wholeheartedly believe that plant foods can play a powerful role in prevention, healing, and helping people feel their best. And the best part? Eating more plants doesn’t have to be boring—it can be creative, delicious, and full of flavor!
My passion for helping women through menopause comes from my own journey. Like so many women, I experienced the ups and downs of this transition and realized just how much of a difference the right support can make.
As I learned to nourish my body with the right foods, move in ways that felt good, prioritize restful sleep, and manage stress, I began to feel stronger, more energized, and more like myself again. It wasn’t about being perfect—it was about making small, meaningful changes that added up over time.
Now, I’m passionate about helping other women navigate menopause with confidence. My goal is to help you understand what’s happening in your body and give you practical, personalized strategies that fit your life, so you can feel your best during this stage and beyond.
My Approach
I believe nutrition should feel supportive, realistic, and personalized to you. I take the time to understand your story, health goals, and daily life so we can create a roadmap that fits your needs. Together, we’ll build confidence, healthier habits, and simple strategies that help you feel your best.
My Belief In Whole Foods
Whole, nourishing foods can transform the way we feel and support our health at every stage of life. I help women through menopause discover the power of whole-food, plant-forward nutrition with practical guidance for greater energy, balance, and well-being. Together, we’ll create sustainable habits that nourish your body and support a vibrant future.
“I’ve been sharing what I learned in these sessions with my entire family and they are now making changes too! We are reading labels together at the grocery store and trying new plant-based recipes. The movement is spreading within my family and it’s so much fun!”
