Dr. Deb Heald
Naturopathic Physician, RN (ret), MBA
Over forty years in medicine—from emergency room nursing to naturopathic practice to pioneering microbiome research in Silicon Valley.
I've served underresourced communities in Canada, guided countless individuals through complex health challenges, and worked in ME/CFS research during the early days of understanding chronic fatigue as mitochondrial dysfunction.
But I kept seeing the same pattern: women doing everything right, still struggling—especially during menopause.
Today, my practice is devoted exclusively to helping women navigate this transition by addressing the root causes: mitochondrial dysfunction, gut dysbiosis, liver detoxification, muscle loss, and HPA axis dysregulation.
Because after decades of dedication to family and career, every woman deserves to thrive in this next phase of life.

Fun Facts About
Jayde Van Gelderen
I’m a dedicated DIY’er and genuinely believe I can build, create, or cook anything from scratch… even when I probably shouldn’t attempt it.
I’ve recently reconnected with my Métis heritage and love exploring my lineage through traditional foraging, medicinal plants, and ancestral food practices.
Between having babies, you’ll find me hiking, playing Ringette, and taking on new challenges—like the fitness competition I completed just one year postpartum with my second daughter.
My journey in holistic wellness began in 2012 while working with Dr. Heald—an experience that ignited my passion for understanding the connection between nutrition, lifestyle, and long-term health. This led me to the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition, where I completed my training and became a Certified Holistic Nutritionist. Since then, my focus has been empowering women to thrive—not simply survive—through every season of life.
Today, I live a simple and intentional country life with my husband and children. In a world that rarely pauses, I value slow mornings, homeschooling, and the natural rhythms of farm life. My approach to health is rooted in ancestral practices - whether it's baking homemade sourdough, fermenting vegetables, and sourcing all of our meat through ethical hunting. I believe wholeheartedly that nurturing your health today prevents the need to fight illness later.
