Hey! I'm Natalie, CEO & founder of Updog Wellness.
I'm a certified functional nutritionist and master health coach helping women with Hashimoto's, hypothyroidism and PCOS unlearn dieting so they can go from surviving to thriving.
Thriving on lattes, Boston Terrier and memes I'm a mom of 3 boys, 2 teens and a toddler, wife, and coach living with Hashimoto's, hypothyroidism and PCOS.
As a coach I specialize in female hormones, metabolism and thyroid health, strength training for women, and I am former yoga instructor.

Learn more about me and my journey!
I became a coach because I hired coaches who made my conditions worse.
I spent a decade trying to hate myself into health.
I only felt more defeated, and sicker from my attempts to diet and punish my body into looking a certain way.
Along the way I learned that my vision for my health didn't align with what diet and wellness culture conditioned me to believe.
Updog Wellness is the result of my own personal transformation, putting my Hashimoto's and PCOS into remission, a decade of education and professional expertise, and a desire to disrupt the status quo when it comes to health and wellness coaching for women with Hashimoto's, hypothyroidism and PCOS.

When I learned my health couldn't be defined by my Hashimoto's, my whole life changed.
Breaking up with diet-culture, learning to fuel myself, move in away that built me up rather than tear me down, and aligning my lifestyle with how I wanted to feel (all while building relationship based on trust with food and my body) not only changed my health, but my life.
I work with women just like me, who know they need something different.
I got tired of waking up every single day hating my body, and hating myself.
Thinking starting a new diet, new workout plan, or new supplement hoping it was the exact thing I needed to motivate and push me forward into health.
Little did I know that was the exact thing that was fueling the self-hatred, as well as my debilitating symptoms of Hashimoto's, hypothyroidism and PCOS.

My brain was over flowing with obsessive thoughts over food, exercise and my body.
I missed out on precious memories with my family because my mind was too busy worrying about whether a particular food was 'safe', calorie counts, how many calories I was burning, and how long I could go without eating.
I've done it all.
