Deborah Rodriguez-Gummo – Functional Nutrition & Mindset Coach for Women 40+
I’ve always been passionate about helping women feel their best—inside and out. But my real wake-up call came in my late 40s when I hit menopause hard. My hormones were tanked, and I spiraled into clinical depression. It wasn’t until I worked with a functional medicine practitioner—who started me on hormone replacement therapy and key supplements like vitamin D—that I began to feel alive again.
A few years later, I felt great, was back to working out, and finally feeling normal. But when I stopped HRT due to cost, I realized I needed a sustainable way to stay healthy without relying solely on medications. That’s when I dove deep into the science of hormones and metabolism, and everything clicked—functional nutrition was the missing piece.
Looking back, nutrition had always been my first passion, even before nursing school. But at the time, I couldn’t afford the extra schooling. After 33 years as a nurse, I’m now certified as a Functional Nutrition Specialist, PN-1 Coach, Transformational Macro Coach, and Positive Intelligence Coach—blending science-based nutrition with mindset work to help women transform their health.
My Philosophy & Approach
I believe nutrition is the key to longevity, and a positive mindset is the foundation for sustainable change. Many women over 40 struggle with hormonal imbalances, weight loss resistance, and metabolic adaptation, often feeling frustrated by conflicting information. I help women cut through the confusion by using:
✅ Comprehensive health assessments & functional blood chemistry analysis (when needed)
✅ Science-backed metabolic education so they understand why their bodies are changing
✅ Customized nutrition & lifestyle strategies to balance hormones and support fat loss
✅ Mindset coaching to identify self-sabotaging patterns and build confidence
One of the biggest myths I love to debunk? “You can’t lose weight after 40.” That’s simply not true. With the right strategy and support, transformation is possible.
Who I Love Working With
I work with women ready to take control of their health, willing to be coached, and open to real, lasting change—even if they’ve tried and “failed” before. I believe in progress over perfection and know firsthand that life doesn’t always go as planned. What matters is consistency, not perfection. One of my proudest moments as a coach? Hearing a client say:
💛 “I feel happy in my body again, even before reaching my goal weight.”
Why I Get It
I’ve been where my clients are. I spent years losing and gaining the same 15-20 pounds, feeling stuck in an all-or-nothing cycle. Once I learned how to balance macros, manage stress, and shift my mindset, I maintained my weight for over two years—without extreme dieting.
Beyond Coaching
When I’m not helping women regain their energy and confidence, you’ll find me doing puzzles, reading, listening to music, or spending quiet time with my Savior. My faith, integrity, and deep care for my clients guide everything I do.
