Hi, I'm Casey.
I'm a Registered Dietitian and Certified Personal Trainer with over 20 years of experience in health and nutrition - and I have spent the last several years doing one thing in particular: learning everything I possibly can about what women's bodies actually need in perimenopause and menopause.
Because the information most of us were given? It wasn't built for this season. And the programs most of us tried? They weren't either.
I started my career in clinical nutrition - public health, outpatient settings, one-on-one nutrition counseling. I loved the work. But I kept running up against the same wall: the women I was seeing needed more than what a standard clinical appointment could give them. More time. More support. More of a plan that fit into their real lives.
So in 2019, I did something a little terrifying and built something myself.
I started Inspire Health & Wellness with a Facebook page, a flyer, and an embarrassing amount of determination. I had no roadmap for running a business - but I had a clear picture of the woman I wanted to serve, and I refused to stop until I had something worthy of her.
I added my CPT certification because I saw, quickly, that strength training wasn't optional for the women I was coaching - it was foundational. And I built Inspire Fitness around that belief.
What I've learned over these years - from the research, from the hundreds of women I've worked with, and honestly from navigating my own midlife body - is that perimenopause changes the rules. The approach that worked in your 30s doesn't just stop working. It can actively work against you. And when you don't know that, you end up doing more and getting less - blaming yourself for a result that was never about your effort.
That is the problem I exist to solve.
The women who find their way here are smart, capable, and genuinely committed. They've tried things. They're not looking for a quick fix - they're looking for something that finally makes sense for the body they have right now, in the life they're actually living.
That's exactly what I built Inspire Fitness to be.
I hold a Bachelor's and Master's Degree in Dietetics and Nutrition from Central Michigan University - the same school my oldest son now attends, which I find both delightful and slightly humbling. I've worked with thousands of women over the course of my career, and every year I am more convinced that this season of life - as complicated as it is - is also one of the most powerful opportunities a woman will ever have to invest in herself.
You are not too late. You are not broken. You just need the right approach.
I'd love to help you find it.
