I’m Claudia Petrilli, Functional Health Coach, Integrative Nutrition Coach, host of Perimenopause Simplified podcast, and creator of The Perimenopause Method.

I’ve experienced firsthand the frustration of being dismissed by doctors while struggling with debilitating periods, digestive issues, thyroid nodules, a pituitary tumor, and perimenopause symptoms in my mid-30s. Advocating for my health and pursuing advanced education transformed my life and inspired my mission.

For over a decade, I’ve empowered women to advocate for themselves, understand their hormones, and achieve vibrant health. My training includes certifications and extensive training in integrative nutrition, functional health, hormone health, advanced lab testing (i.e. hair tissue mineral analysis, hormone testing, gut testing, blood chemistry), and hormone replacement therapy (HRT), with guidance from renowned experts like Lisa Pomeroy, Maria Claps, Kendra Perry, Jill Chmielewski, Dr. Daved Rosensweet, and Dr. Heather Hirsch.

I’m Tonya Romano, a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner with specialized training in gut health, hormones, blood chemistry, and functional testing. I have a deep understanding of how nutrition and lifestyle impact the body, especially during perimenopause and menopause.

As a menopausal woman, I’m passionate about helping women 40+ optimize their health during this pivotal transition. My commitment to ongoing education ensures I stay current on the latest research in women’s health.

My credentials include a B.S. in Biology & Environmental Science, Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (FNTP) certification, Restorative Wellness Practitioner Levels 1-3 (RWP), Functional Blood Chemistry Specialist (FBCS), Certified Dietary Supplement Specialist (CDSP), and Instant HTMA Professional. I’ve completed advanced training in Midlife Hormone Mastery, Perimenopause/HRT mentorship with Jill Chmielewski, RN, BSN, and Dr. Daved Rosensweet, and Mastering Menopause for Allied Healthcare Professionals with Dr. Heather Hirsch.

I dealt with fatigue, weight gain, joint pain, migraines, anxiety, depression, acid reflux, and heavy periods.

Now my fatigue, depression and anxiety have improved, my bloating and acid reflux have greatly improved, and I used to get migraines daily, but now it’s only about 2 times per month. My joint pain is better and I was able to start working out again. According to my doctor, my visceral fat rating went from a 13 down to a 9.

I feel as though I’m much more equipped when it comes to my health and confident in my body. I still have work to do, but know I’ll get there. I don’t feel crazy anymore and I really enjoyed working with you. I’ve been recommending you to so many women, because there’s such a lack of education around health. Thank you again for everything! It was a journey. A good one. -Kelli M.

I was dealing with heavy periods, migraines, fatigue, weight gain, hormonal acne, hair loss, anxiety and depression. I wasn’t getting enough sleep and had to take naps to get through the day. I was bloated and had acid reflux.

Since joining, I’m feeling so much better! I’m more energetic – no naps anymore, I’m able to power through the day, have energy to cook dinner, and am sleeping like a baby.

No more energy drinks, not gorging on snacks and don’t get debilitating migraines anymore. Everything used to ache – I don’t have that anymore, my knees don’t hurt. My libido has been better and I’m really happy.

I was miserable coming into this program, I even cried to you. It’s been a night and day difference! You have changed my life and I owe so much to you. You have been such a blessing in my health journey. -Shannon W.

I’ve been living with intense bloating for years and couldn’t figure it out.

Now, I don’t remember the last time I was bloated! My periods are more regular and lighter. I haven’t had any anxiety. I no longer beat my body up with workouts.

Claudia went over my tests and supplements with me in more detail than my holistic doctor did! She taught me how to understand it all and how to create boundaries between work and life, which was HUGE. Thank you! -Amanda S.

Week-long migraines, digestive issues, and no energy were the norm for me. My relationships and work were affected and I was spiraling into a depression. I didn’t want to see tons of doctors and use meds. I tried to do things on my own, bought supplements and ordered lab work. But I didn’t know what I was doing and wasn’t finding success.

That’s when I found Claudia. I had the drive and motivation to get better, but I needed her expertise to guide me. Claudia has extensive knowledge in this space, but also experienced many of the symptoms I did. Knowing she truly ‘gets me’ was very important.

Claudia explained my labs and we finally understood the root causes of my major symptoms. What a relief when you understand what’s going on in your body, because then you know what path to take.

I’m feeling light, my mind is clear, I have energy throughout the day, rarely get headaches, and most importantly, I feel like myself again…but a better version.

Claudia is extremely gentle and empathetic, truly cares and will give gentle nudges to make sure you don’t get stuck. If you’re ready to do the work, Claudia is the best coach to guide you on your health journey. Her expertise and wisdom are worth the investment. -Liz A.

Wondering if it will work for you? We've helped countless women and the results speak for themselves...

I experienced headaches, constipation, heartburn, weight gain, depression, fatigue, hot flashes, night sweats, and low libido. After completing the program, my hot flashes have stopped, I’m taking my headache medication much less, mentally I feel a lot better – my mood is so much better, sleep has been good and I’m eliminating daily. I’m no longer taking antacid medication and don’t experience heartburn anymore. I loved the modules and access to the tests. It was exactly what I needed. –Amy B.

I joined because I had constant irritability, anxiety, and bloating. I would have stomach pain, especially after eating and I’d wake up in the middle of the night sweating. I also had heavy, painful periods with clotting, PMS, and wanted to lose some weight. After doing the program, I have high energy (without caffeine), I sleep soundly, and my anxiety has improved so much! I feel more calm than usual, PMS is almost gone – not as sensitive. Bloating is so much better – I can tell a huge difference, so nice to not be bloated, and my clothes fit a lot better. I feel all around more comfortable on the inside & out! -Mery A.

The first word that comes to mind is: empowering. Claudia’s emphasis on education and the tools she provides has made me feel confident that I’ll be able to continue what she teaches in the future. Throughout the journey, Claudia was accessible and used her expertise to help me understand my symptoms. Before joining, I was struggling with PMS, painful cramps, frequent headaches, low energy, anxiety, and brain fog. Now my cramps are more manageable, I rarely get headaches, my energy is back, my thinking is clear, and my PMS has hugely improved. Thank you! -Megan P.

I had been suffering from migraines for years and they had gotten very bad in the last year. I reached out to Claudia at my wit’s end, hoping she could get to the root of the problem – something no doctor had been able/willing to do. Immediately I could tell Claudia knew what she was talking about and understood the frustrations I had trying to uncover what might be causing my migraines. She started talking about a ‘functional’ health approach and it totally resonated with me. This, along with her approachable and kind demeanor, made me very eager to continue working with her. After my tests and an evaluation of what was happening with me hormonally, Claudia recommended a plan that reduced my migraine length from 3 days to 3 hours in a matter of weeks!! After an additional tweak to my regimen, I NOW HAVE NO MORE MIGRAINES! Not to mention, more energy and less stress overall because of working with Claudia! Thank you, thank you, thank you! -Martina E.

I was diagnosed with Celiac and struggled with GI issues for years. I didn’t know what I could eat that wouldn’t make me sick or experience pain. I have anxiety the weeks before and during my period. I get stress headaches, anger here and there, compulsive thinking, acne, brain fog and tiredness. Now I have more energy and my anxiety and libido are much better. I’ve stopped feeling sick after meals, am able to eat more foods and my stomach feels good! I created better boundaries with my family and kids, especially at bedtime. I’ve been able to implement morning movement and breath work too. Working with Claudia helped me so much. -Donna B.

I had severe anxiety, depression, trouble sleeping at night, fatigue during the day, was unable to lose weight, heavy periods, mood swings and constipation. Now my anxiety has drastically improved. My periods are much lighter and the “bitchy moods” have gone away. I joined to address my anxiety, which it did, along with so many other health benefits! I lost 25 pounds and am back to my pre-baby weight. Thank you Claudia for educating me to be the best version of myself. I still have work to do, but am putting in the effort every day! -Carly M.

I was having heavy periods and clotting, I was unable to sleep through the night during the last phase of my cycle, had anxiety, painful/cystic breasts before my period, brain fog, and was moody and irritable the week before my period. I had to take Benadryl for sleep every night, had ruminating thoughts and would wake up between 2-3 am. I sometimes felt short of breath. I also struggled with constipation, bloating, and heartburn. Since doing the program, I feel more balanced, my stress level has decreased a lot, I’m much more even keeled. Sleep and periods are better; they used to be heavy 2 days, now just 1. If I wake up the week before my period, I can go back to sleep easily. My constipation is so much better. All the info was very helpful, the program was great; I’m so glad I did it! -Joanna L.

I was struggling with constant bloating, constipation, daily headaches, irritability with my family, and PMS. I was feeling awful. Nothing my doctor suggested was helping. I was given daily headache and depression meds to mask my symptoms, instead of getting to the root causes. I was tired of feeling terrible and knew there must be a better option. The testing showed the state of my gut and mineral imbalances. By taking care of my gut and adding the right minerals, I feel SO much better. My bloating and constipation have greatly improved, I no longer get daily headaches, I’m not taking any prescription medications, I am a lot more patient with my spouse and kids, and my PMS improved substantially. I absolutely recommend this program. I received the support I needed. It was so nice to have someone helping you understand what is really going on with your body and answering questions in real time. You were always there to help and I will forever be grateful. -Jenn B.

I was 25 lbs. overweight (and unable to lose anything for years, I was only gaining despite eating healthy and exercising). I was exhausted, had breast tenderness, always felt bloated and like I was retaining so much water (I had to resize my wedding rings twice to make them bigger!). After working together, I have lost 17 lbs., my wedding rings are loose, my pants are loose, and I feel so much better. My main goal was weight loss, and I felt it just could not happen for me as I had tried everything. But Claudia’s protocols focused on my gut health and mineral levels – something I had not tried on my own, because I had no idea where to start. I feel so much better. My mindset has changed, as I look at eating this way as a way to better myself and feel good and not as a diet. I’m very grateful to Claudia and her team for helping me through such a difficult time. I plan to continue working with her to get guidance and support! -Aleah R.

I was bloated, tired, had sleep problems, weight gain, anxiety, constipation, heavy periods, cramps, and infertility. I wanted to make sustainable lifestyle changes. As a nurse, I knew what traditional healthcare could offer me and I wanted something different. The data we got from my tests were incredibly helpful in pinpointing areas of improvement. I liked the modules and learning how my everyday routines affected my health (for better or worse!). The customized protocols are extremely helpful – simple information that I could implement gradually. I also saw how badly work stress was affecting my health, so I decided to switch to another job with a much better schedule and work environment. I no longer feel bloated after meals, I poop more than I did before, and I don’t crave sweets as much. I have full control over my day and my life, and all I need to do is make choices that I know are good for me. I also lost 8 pounds which is more than I’ve been able to lose in almost three years! -Hannah J.

I had been experiencing anxiety, hair loss, hair growth in unwanted places, acne, mood swings, depression, tremors, and fatigue. After doing some functional testing with Claudia and going through her program, my “fight or flight” is gone. I have no anxiety, energy is great, sleep has been really good, I’m not constipated, my acne has improved and I have less sugar/carb cravings. I no longer feel achy and can go for long morning walks with my son, which he enjoys just as much as I do. Thank you again so, so much for helping me heal. – Valeri L.

How much is the investment? We have two program options ranging from $1997-$2497 USD, depending on level of support desired. Payment plans available for both, with options to add-on additional testing – if needed and if your budget allows. Submit an application and we can discuss the best option for you.

Do you offer additional testing? Yes! In addition to an HTMA and blood work review (which give so much insight), if you’d like to dig deeper, you can add-on a gut health test and/or vaginal health test. That said, most women see overall health improvements with the initial recommendations we make and we do our best to reduce overwhelm (and cost) with clients.

What payment methods do you accept and do you take insurance? The payment processor we use is Stripe and we’re able to accept all major credit/debit cards. Health Coaching is not typically covered by insurance. However, we’ve been able to accept some FSA/HSA cards. That said, every insurance company is different, so we cannot guarantee they will cover our services. We are able to provide you with a receipt for services rendered, if they require one. You are generally able to use your FSA/HSA for supplements you purchase through Fullscript, our online dispensary, as well as blood panel orders.

What can I expect from the community? It’s an intimate, safe space with women on the same journey as you, where you can ask questions and get support from me and my team Monday-Thursday. We have Accountability Mondays, Healthy Habits Thursdays, and Check-In Fridays, with additional resources to help you. It’s a no-judgement zone, where you can make friends along the way.

Is there private support? Yes! Our premium program tier includes 3 private coaching sessions, as well as limited private messaging in our client portal.

Are there any mandatory group calls? Nope! You have enough on your plate. Occasionally we host topic-specific classes, which will be recorded.

Is there ongoing support after the program? Yes! Once you graduate from the 4 month program, you’ll be auto-enrolled into our VIP monthly membership. This includes a private 30-minute monthly check-in with Claudia, continued access to the community, client portal, and re-testing options.

Can you help me find an HRT provider? Yes! We include a very robust Approved HRT Providers Directory and help you advocate for yourself throughout your HRT journey.

Can you guide me on BHRT (bioidentical hormone replacement therapy)? While we cannot prescribe (you need a well-versed licensed provider), we will guide you in the right direction, provide education and resources to help you get the support you need. We also include an HRT Providers Directory (organized by state) to reduce overwhelm in finding a prescribing provider when and if the time is right to start hormone replacement therapy. If you start HRT, we help guide you in fine-tuning your regimen (with your prescribing provider) and better advocate for yourself throughout the process.

Is there a specific diet I need to follow? We don’t believe in restrictive diets or eliminating tons of foods (we love protein, fat and carbs!). You’ll get recommendations for hormone-friendly functional foods to enjoy and a handful of problematic foods to avoid. That said, depending on your unique needs, we may provide specific dietary guidelines (i.e. amount of protein/carbs to consume, low histamine diet, etc.). We share over 200 delicious recipes & meal ideas!

Do I have to take a lot of supplements? Most of us are deficient in key nutrients and it’s one of the many reasons we experience bothersome symptoms! Ideally you’d get all your nutrients from food, but unfortunately, that’s not always enough. Between depleted soil, pesticides in produce, stress, restaurant food, and eating on-the-go, assume you need some nutritional support. I believe in supplementing what’s lost and/or correcting underlying imbalances. Once we review your intake form and test results, we create a customized plan, which includes supplement suggestions.

What if I can’t get through all of the content you share? You can access the resources anytime via our secure client app. Once you enroll, you’ll create an account and login to review the material. If you’d like continued access to the resources, you’ll graduate to the VIP Membership after your 4-month program ends, at a very affordable rate.

Is this suitable for vegans? Based on research and clinical experience, I believe we thrive with animal foods in our diet. If you’re willing to eat eggs, fish, quality protein powders, collagen, etc., it may work (as long as you’re not allergic/sensitive to these foods). Please submit an application so we can determine if you’re a good fit.

Can I do this if I’m on hormonal birth control? Yes, as it’s vital to make all the food and lifestyle changes I recommend. And if you’ve been on the pill or taken any form of hormonal contraceptives, you must support nutritional deficiencies and optimize your gut health.

Can I do this if I’m pregnant or postpartum? No, this program is not for you if you are pregnant or newly postpartum.

I’m so busy! Will I have time for this? As a busy woman myself, I had other busy women (like you) in mind when creating the program. I’ve designed it so you get weekly emails guiding you, 8 easy-to-consume modules with a blend of short videos, audio, and a few short PDFs. Most of our clients are action takers, get incredible results by implementing what they learn, taking targeted supplements, and being active in our community. We love go-getters!

What is your refund policy? Due to the digital nature of the materials provided and costs of tests, there will be no refunds. Please email claudia@claudiapetrilli.com with any questions and/or book a complimentary call to ensure you’re a good fit for the program.
