My Story
What happens when 30 years of nutritional knowledge meets the gentle understanding of a woman who has gone through her own transformation? You get Mindy Gorman-Plutzer, a remarkable role model for women seeking to transform their perspectives on food, their bodies, and themselves.
Mindy’s journey didn’t start in a classroom or clinic; it started in the mirror, where she saw her problems with food and body image. She was stuck in the tiring cycle of diet culture’s promises and failures, just like so many other women. But instead of accepting the present as her fate, she chose a different path that would eventually show thousands of others the way.
Mindy is now a Certified Functional Nutrition and Lifestyle Practitioner, a Board Certified Integrative Health Coach, and a Certified Eating Psychology Coach. But her most important credential is still her lived experience as a woman who has gone through the fire of food fear and come out with a message of radical self-acceptance.
Mindy has been working on her unique method for over 30 years at her private practice in New York. It is a groundbreaking system that respects both the science of nutrition and the sacred wisdom of the female body. She skillfully combines functional nutrition, psychology, mind-body science, and body-centered practices to create a concept she refers to as “empathetic empowerment.” This practice is a kind and compassionate way to deal with the physical and emotional problems that come up because of our complicated relationship with food.
Mindy says, “My philosophy is to help my clients make healthy lifestyle and food choices by connecting with the healthy wisdom of their bodies.” This isn’t another diet or quick fix; it’s about finding yourself again.
Mindy is the author of The Freedom Promise: 7 Steps To Stop Fearing What Food Will Do TO You and Start Embracing What It Can Do FOR You (Balboa Press). She has taken decades of clinical experience and personal insight and turned them into a guide to food freedom. Her work has affected many more lives than just those in her practice. She has reached women through her appearances on Doctor Radio, Huffington Post Live, ABC news.com/podcast, and a number of other radio shows that are broadcast to a wide audience.
Mindy’s voice has been on the pages of Mind Body Green and The Fifty Plus Life, where she was a trusted contributor. She has been a popular guest expert at highly praised wellness summits, where she has shared her knowledge with women all over the world who are ready to change not only their relationship with food but also how they take care of and value themselves.
Her blog, where she writes with her usual warmth and insight about everything having to do with the mind, body, and spirit, has become a safe place for women searching for real help on their healing journey. Mindy continues to spread her message that real health isn’t about being perfect; it’s about being at peace. She does this through many podcast appearances and speaking engagements.
But maybe the most powerful thing about Mindy’s work is that she knows that midlife is a time when women can change in a big way. She knows that this stage of life needs a different kind of growth—one that honors the lessons you’ve learned, the fights you’ve fought, and the woman you’re becoming.
When you work with Mindy, you’re not just getting a health coach; you’re getting a caring guide who knows that your relationship with food is closely linked to your journey to find yourself. She knows that healing doesn’t come from being forced or limited; it comes from the gentle art of returning to your body’s wisdom.
“Wouldn’t it be great to know that you can change your relationship with food from one full of fear and confusion to one full of joy, love, and freedom?”
Mindy wants you to do more than just read about change; she wants you to live it. Midlife Metamorphosis gives you the tools you need to have a relationship with food and your body that is not only healthy but also good for your soul.
Your metamorphosis is coming. Mindy is here to help you get home.
Mindy lives on Long Island with her husband. She is an avid golfer, Pilates enthusiast, and looks forward to her daily Wordle challenge.
