Functional Health Coach • Metabolic Specialist • Founder of Metabolism and Me
Hi, I’m Serena Vale—functional health coach, metabolic specialist, podcast host, and proud science nerd with a big heart.
I created Metabolism and Me as a space where real nourishment, sustainable change, and metabolic restoration meet.
My Mission
I help women—especially those navigating perimenopause, menopause, or simply feeling burnt out—restore their metabolism, balance hormones, and feel safe and energized in their own bodies again.
No restrictive plans, no “just eat less and move more” advice. Just real, personalized support grounded in both science and compassion.
Why I Do This Work
My path here wasn’t linear. Years ago, I was stuck in a cycle of overtraining, under-eating, and pushing through chronic fatigue. I looked “healthy” on the outside, but inside I was exhausted, inflamed, and hormonally depleted.
It wasn’t until I learned to support my nervous system, nourish rather than restrict, and work with my biology—not against it—that I began to heal.
Now, I bring that same philosophy to my clients around the world, helping them move from survival mode to metabolic resilience.
What I Bring to the Table
With a background in functional health and a deep curiosity for the “why” behind symptoms, I use advanced lab testing, real food nutrition, and mind-body tools to create individualized wellness plans. I specialize in:
- Metabolic restoration & thyroid/adrenal health
- Hormonal balance (especially during midlife transitions)
- Gut healing and detox support
- Anti-inflammatory, real-food nutrition
- Breathwork, mindfulness, and stress recovery
- Sustainable fat loss without calorie obsession
But above all, I bring presence. I listen deeply. I meet you where you are. Because healing isn’t about fixing you—it’s about understanding you.
What I Believe
- Your metabolism reflects how safe and nourished your body feels—not just what you eat or burn.
- You deserve care that’s as unique as your lived experience.
- Healing is not a straight line. Setbacks are data, not failure.
- Nervous system regulation is the true foundation of physical transformation.
- You can’t hate or hustle your way to long-term health—you need partnership, patience, and grace.
Beyond the Clinic
When I’m not coaching, you’ll find me hiking the Rockies, reading metabolic research and memoirs, doing yoga by candlelight, or recording new episodes of my podcast, Metabolic Grace.
I also volunteer with women’s health organizations, offering trauma-informed coaching and community education.
If you’re ready to stop fighting your body and start rebuilding trust with it—you’re in the right place.
With warmth and science,
Serena Vale
