Dena Norton, MS, RD has been a registered dietitian for over 20 years, working in both conventional medical system and in the holistic and functional medicine spheres. She is the owner of Back To The Book Nutrition, a web site and virtual nutrition practice that has helped hundreds of people around the world overcome chronic digestive and hormonal symptoms.

After helping midlife women for years, Dena entered her 40's and was hit with low libido, midsection weight gain, and sleep disturbance herself. This wake up call drove her to research perimenopause more deeply than ever and, after applying what she learned, has reduced her symptoms and feels back in control of her health!

Now Dena is passionate about helping fellow 40-something women navigate this topsy turvy stage of life through her Forties Fix program, which leverages proven strategies to curb symptoms, feel great in their bodies, and significantly reduce the risk of the chronic diseases that plague so many aging women.
