The Real Reason I Built Dr. Becky Online

Let’s be real—wellness has gotten complicated.

Between extreme diets, contradicting advice, and routines that require a master’s degree in self-discipline, it’s no wonder so many women over 40 feel stuck, exhausted, and overwhelmed.

I know, because I’ve been there. And honestly? I’m still figuring it out, too.

Morning sunlight, cuddles with my Golden Retriever, chocolate protein powder...because balance, and simple skincare (no 27-step routine here) 

daily rituals

Sitting on my porch, laughing until I cry, making dinner, geeking out over the latest research, and ALWAYS saying Yes! to chocolate

YOU CAN FIND ME:

Perfection, my way is the only way, weak coffee, miracle cures, all-or-nothing thinking, and hype disguised as help.

I'm NOT ABOUT:

Straight talk, laughter is medicine, short emails, data, and cutting out the fluff to make room for the very best. 

I BELIEVE IN:

So I did what I do best:
✨ Leaned into my love language (research & science).
✨ Cut through the noise.
✨ Tested what actually works in real life.
✨ Simplified it into bite-sized, doable steps.

That’s how my KISS Method™ (Keep It Simple & Sustainable) was born. A framework for women in midlife who want real results without extremes, shame, or burnout.

My superpower is helping women become the best version of themselves while pursuing the kind of life they actually want.... one with abundant freedom, joy, and peace. 

For years, I was the doctor, wife, and mom who had all the answers for everyone else—but inside, I was running on empty. Despite my knowledge, I found myself tired, foggy, and drowning in wellness advice that felt unrealistic and unsustainable.
