Hi, I’m Traci Prendergast

FUNCTIONAL NUTRITIONIST | EMBODIED CHEF

As hormones decline, we lose a critical health buffer. Symptoms begin to emerge from underlying conditions that were once dormant. I help women interpret the root cause of symptoms like brain fog, digestive issues, sleep disturbances, and weight gain — or lab results that are trending toward disease states. Using an embodied approach centered on enjoyment and your unique physiology, we connect the dots, get clear on what's driving your symptoms, and build a path back to feeling at home in your body again.

The Values That Guide My Work

Nourishment

Food is not the enemy. It is one of the most powerful tools you have, and it should be enjoyable.

Clarity

Complex physiology doesn't have to feel overwhelming. I translate the science into something you can actually use.

Sustainability

No rigid rules, no quick fixes. We build something that works with your life, not against it.

Joy

Health should feel good. That's not a luxury. It's the whole point.

What Clients Say

  • "Traci is a lifesaver, literally. Part Nancy Drew, part Alice Waters, part Florence Nightingale. With upbeat curiosity, she helped me investigate some of the dark corners of my diet. I knew things could be better but had no idea where to start. Traci is a real pro and took me step by step through her process. But the thing that really sold me is her cooking. Her culinary artistry inspires me to take care of myself by becoming the chef I always knew I could be. Not only does the monthly menu Traci built for me make my mouth happy, it also puts my mind at ease knowing it's custom optimized for my body."

A Little More About Me…

I began my career as a chef, drawn to the way food transforms not just ingredients but how we feel. After 25 years in the culinary world, I kept seeing the same patterns: inflammation, hormone shifts, digestive issues, exhaustion. I wanted to understand why, and that question led me to Functional Nutrition.

Today I help midlife women navigate the real physiology of change: hormones, metabolism, nervous system, and all. My approach blends clinical understanding with an embodied, joyful relationship to food that I spent decades developing in professional kitchens.

I founded the Marin Women's Health Collective because I believe healing happens faster, deeper, and more sustainably when women are supported by a whole community of expertise rather than navigating it alone.
