People may call what happens in midlife "a crisis", but it's not. It's an unravelling - a time when you feel a desperate pull to live the life you want to live, not the one you are "supposed" to live.
The unravelling is a time when you are challenged by the universe to let go of who you think you think you are supposed to be and to embrace who you are.

Hi, I'm Olga Bonde
Founder of Olga Bonde Nutrition
Every time I’m presented with a task of sharing who I am, I am not tempted to throw my professional credentials in right away. Rather to say that I’m a woman who helps other women walk back home to themselves.Â
I am a Registered Nutritional Therapist (BSc Hons, DipCNM, mANP, mGNC), transformation coach, public speaker, university/college lecturer, mother, partner, and friend.
I help time-short women in their 40s and beyond regain health, energy and glow without burning out or exhausting themselves with faddy trends or unrealistic expectations the world can put on them at times.Â
I absolutely love what I do. My favourite part of the job is to help women not settle for what’s presented to them as a midlife norm. But rather create their own norm, where they feel strong, radiant, empowered, where happiness is not a luxury. And food is not an enemy. Losing control over your changing body and hormones can feel scary, I get that. Yet it doesn’t need to be this way.
Midlife can be our best and happiest life. And I know how to help you with that.
My practice is rooted in science and a deeply personal approach to every single one of my clients. Because we and our stories deserve to be seen, understood and celebrated.Â
Speaking of a personal story, I grew up in a family where the concept of naturopathy and functional medicine approach was the only thing ever known to us. My younger days were full of cold water dips, wild herb inhalations, walking barefoot, doing yoga at the crack of dawn and mastering many other ways of looking at our body as a clever interconnected system. And that’s exactly what brought me to practising nutrition, naturopathy and functional medicine decades later. And that’s what stands behind all the successful stories of my clients.Â
My own arrival to perimenopause was a bit premature and a bit more dramatic than I’d wished for. My body was not able to cope with the aftermath of personal events of loss and grief. So hormones out of whack, weight gain, digestive issues and a damaged thyroid later, I can say that I’ve been there and got the T-shirt (XXL size).Â
It was, however, this quest for saving my health that got me to work alongside some of Britain’s most amazing and forward thinking female health doctors and health professionals, and lead to specialising in female health myself.
These days, fully back to optimal radiant health, I am guiding my clients along a healthful path, while being able to relate to their problems on a much deeper level. Being a part of one’s transformation feels hugely rewarding and I am ever so grateful to do what I do.
My main area of professional expertise is metabolic and autoimmune conditions in women 40+.
Underactive thyroid/Hashimoto's, pre/diabetes, non-alcoholic fatty liver, IBD/Crohns and weight gain that accompanies many of these conditions make up the majority of cases in my clinic.Â
I also regularly mentor nutrition professionals in the early years of their practice.Â
Educating and igniting joy and interest in food and health is at the heart of Olga Bonde Nutrition.Â
