HELLO THERE!

I'm Daina Gardiner

Founder of The Energized Woman and no-BS holistic nutritionist for high-achieving women done playing hormone chaos whack-a-mole.

I help women who truly want to feel and look amazing in their 40s finally beat brain fog, burnout, stubborn weight, low mood, and energy dips naturally by working with their bodies— not against them.

You weren’t meant to hustle through exhaustion, live off caffeine, or feel like your body’s a mystery just because you’re a woman tackling perimenopause. 

You’ve just been taught to chase your symptoms instead of solving what’s actually going on underneath.

We’re gonna fix that!

I Know What It’s Like To Wake Up With More Fatigue Than You Went to Bed With…and what’s it like to be gaslit and brushed off by your doctors…

One minute, you're building your business, crushing deadlines, leading teams, showing up for everyone.

The next, you’re crying over nothing, can’t remember what you walked into the room for, and staring at the ceiling at 3am Googling:

“Why am I always tired?”
“Is this perimenopause?”
“Why won’t the weight budge no matter what I eat?”

You’re smart. Driven. You’ve built a life you’re proud of.

But lately, your body feels like the one thing you can’t control — and it’s messing with everything.

Logically a lab test seems like the right approach, but you’re sick & tired of being told “but everything looks normal!” or “just take some magnesium”. 

I Did Everything They Told Me To — And Still Felt Like Sh*t

Sound familiar?

Clean eating? Check.
Detox teas, HIIT classes, $600 labs, $80 supplements, carb-cutting, juice cleanses, biohacking? Yep.

I followed the influencers. I tracked everything.
I pushed harder when I was tired and blamed myself when nothing changed.

Here’s what no one else knew anything about that was keeping me from feeling amazing over 40:

Perimenopause isn’t the problem. Your hormones aren’t betraying you.

You’ve just been taught to slap a bandaid on your problems and hope they go away!

That Vitamin D or magnesium supplement your doctor recommended, 3 weeks into a carnivore diet, or eating more ‘healthy’ foods may feel like they’re working… for a minute.

But if you keep having to “reset” or “try again” because the last protocol wore off — that’s not healing.

That’s swinging from one extreme to the next and calling it progress.

These extremes wreck your internal rhythm, stress your adrenals and confuse your metabolism.

And mess with your hormones in ways that take months to undo.

Your body isn’t resisting you.
She’s been begging you to stop throwing random solutions at symptoms — and start understanding what’s going on beneath them.

It was only when I got quiet and listened to my own body — not the next influencer, not the next lab test — that everything changed.

Everything Changed When I Stopped Outsourcing My Health

I got off the hormone hamster wheel.

I studied nutrition, biochemistry, functional health, and stress physiology.

I learned how to eat, live, and support my body based on what it actually needed — not what an influencer or medical lab panel said.

Now, I help ambitious women like you:

  • Understand what your symptoms are really telling you

  • Identify personal nutrient gaps and metabolic imbalances

  • Use food, rhythm, and the right kind of support to rebuild your energy from the inside out

No crash diets. No supplement overwhelm. No more blaming yourself.

If your body feels like a project you can’t figure out — I’m here to help you crack the code.

You’re Not Broken. You’re Just Missing the Right Map.

If you’ve been piecing together Instagram tips and overpriced labs but still feel like no matter how much healthy stuff you throw at your body is just won’t flip from exhausted to energized — it’s time for clarity.

In your 30-minute Hidden Cause Health Assessment, we’ll uncover:

  • The real root causes behind your hormonal chaos + give you a personalized reboot strategy using foods you love that are found in any local grocery store

  • Why the things that “should” be working aren’t + what to do to improve metabolism and energy by at least 1% every day

  • Where to focus for real results that last without spending hours in the kitchen each weekend, giving up chocolate, wine or popcorn (but maybe gluten for a wee bit), or stressing over the menu on date night

You bring the frustration. I’ll bring the strategy.

Let’s connect the dots — and finally get you feeling like you again.
