After receiving substandard care in NYC, Maria enrolled in the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN) in pursuit of a solution for her perimenopausal symptoms that began when she turned 40. Inspired by her training at IIN, Maria pursued 3 additional hormone-centric trainings: - Dr. Sara Gottfried's training program for practitioners; - The Functional Diagnostic Nutrition program; and - The UK-based 3rd Age Woman Certification program with Burrell Education. More recently, Maria launched a 12-week online program called "Thrive Over 45" to educate women on hormone health and DUTCH lab testing, with a dash of sass and fun.
