About Christine Foerster, Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and Metabolic Balance Coach

I specialize in personalized nutrition for women in perimenopause and menopause, combining functional nutrition, metabolic health, and lifestyle coaching to help women restore their energy, balance their hormones, and step into their next chapter feeling fiercely alive.

It started before I can remember.

My passion for health began almost at birth. My parents completed their Peace Corps service and settled in Southern California, where they worked for a small film company creating educational health and lifestyle films. I grew up immersed in the whole food, back to basics health culture of the 1970s and 1980s. I was the kid bringing beansprout and spinach sandwiches to school, training for family vacations that rotated between bike touring, sailing, and backpacking.

Health wasn't a discipline in our house. It was simply how we lived.

That foundation has carried me through my entire adult life, through a career as an artist, an art history instructor, through becoming a certified yoga instructor, and eventually into the work I do today. Each chapter has shaped how I think about the body, about awareness, about what it means to truly feel well.

It all begins with awareness

Even with a lifetime of healthy habits, I felt something shift during perimenopause. My energy changed in ways I hadn't anticipated. My body was asking for something more precise than what I had been giving it.

When I started eating a truly nutrient dense diet, prioritizing my sleep, and using movement to release stress rather than push through it, something remarkable happened. It felt like a light turned back on inside of me.

That experience deepened everything I already believed about health and sent me further into the study of functional nutrition, metabolic health, and the science of hormonal change. It also gave me something no credential can fully teach: a genuine understanding of what the women I work with are going through.

It all begins with awareness

My coaching is also informed by yoga, which fundamentally changed my life as a young adult. Yoga reminds us that conscious breath is our greatest tool. Yoga fosters a daily practice of awareness, a kind of internal compass. Yoga helps us to live through our entire body rather than living only in our head. It allows us to trust the power of our gut intuition and the expansive wisdom of our heart. A central part of my coaching practice is to create a space for awareness so that you know exactly where you are and where you want to go. I would love to share this journey of discovery with you!

Your body is infinitely wise

My coaching is built on one foundational idea. Our bodies are infinitely wise. This wisdom is the source of an extraordinary potential, but much of contemporary life pulls us away from it. The way back is through thoughtful health habits, a regulated nervous system, and a clearing of the noise that keeps us from hearing what our bodies are actually telling us.

Yoga has been a profound teacher in this regard. It fundamentally changed my life as a young adult and continues to inform how I work. Conscious breath is one of our greatest tools. A daily practice of awareness becomes an internal compass. When we learn to live through our entire body rather than only in our heads, we begin to trust our gut intuition and access a deeper wisdom that no outside program can replicate.

This is why "you are your own best health advocate" is not just something I say. It is the foundation of everything we do together.

How I work

I became a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and a certified Metabolic Balance Coach because I wanted tools precise enough to match the individuality of each woman I work with. Your blood chemistry, your history, your patterns, your goals. None of it is generic, and your protocol shouldn't be either.

When you work with me, I am fully invested in your results. I will walk through every part of this with you, and I won't consider our work done until you feel the difference.

The world needs you showing up fully alive. Let's make sure you have everything you need to do exactly that.
