MEET SOPHIE
I believe your healthiest years can still be ahead of you.
I'm Sophie Uliano — New York Times bestselling author, board-certified holistic nutritionist, master mindset coach, and a woman in my 60s who cares deeply about changing the conversation around what it means to grow older.
I've spent more than 20 years studying health, nutrition, and behavior change, writing four books, and helping women make meaningful changes to the way they eat, move, think, and live.
But the older I've become, the clearer something has become to me:
Most women don't need more health information.
We are drowning in it.
We can Google what to eat. We can ask AI to create a meal plan. We can listen to another podcast, buy another supplement, track another metric or start another 30-day challenge.
Knowing isn't the problem.
The real challenge is taking what we know and turning it into something we actually live — consistently, imperfectly, and for the long haul.
That's the work I've become obsessed with.
WHY THIS BECAME PERSONAL
When I reached perimenopause, my own body began to change.
My energy, weight, sleep and the way I responded to stress weren't behaving the way they had before.
And I began asking a different question.
Not: "How do I stop getting older?"
But: "How do I make the decades ahead of me as healthy, strong and vital as they can possibly be?"
That question has shaped my work ever since.
Today, in my early 60s, I care far less about chasing youth than I do about healthspan: protecting my metabolic health, muscle, bones, brain, energy, independence and sense of purpose for the decades ahead.
And that's what I want for the women I work with too.
My Approach
I don't believe in wellness fear-mongering.
I don't believe every normal biological response needs a supplement.
I don't believe in extreme diets, punishing exercise programs or telling women that one food, hormone or "toxin" is responsible for everything that's wrong with them.
And I will never pretend the science is more certain than it actually is.
I believe in something much less sexy — and much more powerful: evidence, consistency, and implementation.
My approach brings together evidence-informed holistic nutrition, movement, metabolic health, nervous system regulation, mindset, and behavior change.
After working with women for more than two decades, I've learned that knowing what to do is only half the equation.
We also have to understand what gets in the way of doing it.
THE PIECE I BELIEVE WE'VE BEEN MISSING
This is why I created the Ignite Method.
It works on what I think of as two gears.
Gear One is your biology.
How you eat. How you move. Your sleep. Your metabolic health. Your strength. Your cardiovascular fitness. The daily behaviors that influence how well you age.
Gear Two is your psychology.
Your patterns. Your beliefs. Your relationship with yourself. Your ability to tolerate discomfort, recover from setbacks and keep going when motivation disappears.
And then there's the piece that holds everything together: human accountability.
Because information alone rarely changes a life.
Implementation does.
WHY I DO THIS WORK
I'm not interested in helping women become younger.
I'm interested in helping women become bolder as they grow older.
I want you to be able to carry your own suitcase at 80.
Get down on the floor and get back up.
Travel.
Think clearly.
Have adventures.
Feel confident in your body.
Stay deeply connected to the people you love.
And have the health and energy to keep saying yes to your life.
We cannot control everything about how we age.
But there is an extraordinary amount that we can influence.
And I want women to know how.
A LITTLE ABOUT MY WORK
I'm the author of four books on health and wellness, including the New York Times bestseller Gorgeously Green, which helped bring the conversation about healthier, more sustainable living into the mainstream.
My work has been featured on The Oprah Winfrey Show and across national television and media, and I've had the privilege of sharing my work with millions of women.
But the work that matters most to me now happens much closer to home:
Helping a woman realize that her future isn't something that simply happens to her.
It's something she gets to help create.

From the "Mary Poppins for the new millennium," this do-it-yourself guide encourages everyone to take a brand new look at how we can reduce, reuse, and recycle -- and find deep satisfaction in making a better version of what we're used to buying in a store.

*Please note that since the writing of this book in 2009, and since becoming a board-certified nutritionist, my dietary philosophy has radically changed in that that I now advocate a whole food plant-based diet.
