My Story
Meet Angie
Helping women uncover the “why” behind hormone, gut, fertility and metabolic symptoms.
Hi, I'm Angie Hartman, NBC-HWC, a functional nutrition practitioner completing my Master's in Functional Health & Nutrition in December 2026. I help women better understand what's happening in their bodies by connecting the dots between symptoms, nutrition, lifestyle, health history, and laboratory findings.
My work focuses on helping women better understand what may be driving symptoms such as hormone imbalances, digestive issues, difficulty losing weight, fatigue, fertility challenges and simply not feeling like themselves.
Using a whole-person, evidence-informed approach, I help clients connect the dots between their symptoms, nutrition, lifestyle and available health data. Depending on the client, this may include reviewing existing laboratory results, comprehensive health assessments, personalized nutrition strategies and functional testing such as hormone, gut and micronutrient testing.
Areas I commonly support include:
Hormone and menstrual health
Fertility and preconception nutrition
Perimenopause and metabolic health
Gut health and digestive concerns
Weight-loss resistance and body composition
Thyroid-supportive nutrition
Functional lab and existing lab review
Personalized nutrition and lifestyle optimization
Why this work is personal to me
My own journey through hormone imbalance, Hashimoto's, gut dysfunction, infertility, IVF, five pregnancy losses—and now pregnancy in my mid-40s—changed the way I understand women's health.
It began in my own body — through years of confusing symptoms, unanswered questions, and a deep desire to feel like me again.
In my late teens and early twenties, I spent nearly a decade on birth control, trying to manage mood swings, brain fog, and painful hormonal acne. I eventually came off the pill cold turkey because I couldn’t ignore the mental and emotional toll it was taking on me. The side effects were intense — moodiness, depression, bloating, and severe cramping. Looking back, I now realize I likely had undiagnosed PCOS or endometriosis.
Frustrated with the conventional path, I started to shift my lifestyle — I changed my diet, implemented a strategic fitness routine, and began releasing emotional trauma I didn’t even know I was carrying. That emotional work was a turning point. I lost 10 pounds, regulated my cycle (after years of irregularity), and slowly began to reconnect with my body.
Things finally started to feel balanced — until after my first pregnancy, when I experienced a full-body outbreak of psoriasis, dermatitis, and unexplained fatigue. That same year, I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. The diagnosis was both a shock and a relief: it gave me a name for what I had been feeling and a direction to heal.
I dove deep into root-cause healing — balancing cortisol through yoga and meditation, restoring gut health, and continuing to study nutrition and detoxification. At 39, I became pregnant again and had a healthy pregnancy, even during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.
But the years that followed brought immense heartbreak. From age 41 to 44, I experienced five miscarriages — including failed IVF cycles and abnormal embryos — all while dealing with undiagnosed SIBO, parasites, and mycotoxin exposure after a home renovation. Each loss was devastating, but it also became a catalyst for deeper healing. I began trauma therapy, leaned into my faith, and prioritized both mental and physical detoxification.
Today, I feel more grounded, more alive, and more passionate than ever about helping women reclaim their health.
I also hold certifications in fitness, yoga, and barre and bring a movement-based lens to healing that honors the mind-body connection.
I know what it feels like to not be heard. To be told everything is “normal” when you know something is off. I’m here to help you get answers, feel seen, and support your body at the root level — so you can sleep better, think clearer, move with ease, and reclaim your joy.
You deserve to feel vibrant again.
XO
