Welcome
About Anneli Schmidt
Welcome! I’m so glad you're here.
If you’ve ever worried about your health slipping away in midlife, you’re not alone. Many of us reach this stage of life after years of taking care of everyone else, often putting our own well-being on the back burner. But now, the focus is shifting. More women are waking up to the importance of prioritizing their health—especially with the concerns of aging and chronic diseases becoming more real.
Like many of you, I once found myself looking at my family’s health history with concern. My aunt was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in her early fifties, and my mother and her two Finnish sisters faced the same devastating journey with Alzheimer's, each passing away far too soon. Watching this unfold left me deeply concerned, wondering if this was a fate I would also face.
But here’s what I’ve discovered through years of research and experience: our health destiny is not set in stone. There are powerful steps we can take to reduce our risks and embrace a life of vitality, no matter our age.
A Journey Rooted in Research & Passion
With over 30 years as a Critical Care Registered Nurse, I have dedicated my life to understanding health from the inside out. My nursing background has equipped me with the tools to dig deeper into the science behind preventive health—particularly for women navigating midlife. I believe that proactive, intentional choices can help us prevent the chronic diseases that often come to light in these years.
In my search for answers, I uncovered lifestyle and dietary approaches that support better health outcomes. I found myself drawn to plant-based nutrition, Finnish wellness traditions, and simple, sustainable practices that nourish both body and mind.
