Leighann Rice, RD

Hi, I’m Leighann Rice—a Registered and Licensed Dietitian, a mother, an artist at heart, and a woman in her late 30s who didn’t see perimenopause coming.

​

For a long time, I didn’t know what perimenopause was—or that it could begin so early. I didn’t realize that the brain fog, irritability, sleep struggles, and sudden belly fat were connected. I didn’t know my body needed more protein, more muscle, or that strength training would be a non-negotiable part of feeling strong and staying healthy as I aged. I wish someone had told me sooner. Now, I’m that someone for you.

​

I specialize in helping women who are suddenly noticing changes in their body they weren’t prepared for. If you're gaining belly fat, losing muscle tone, and wondering why your usual habits no longer “work,” you're not alone. I’m here to help you take back control through a powerful combination of nutrition, muscle-building, and realistic lifestyle changes designed to support you through perimenopause and beyond.

Working with me means no restrictive diets, no food guilt, and no pressure to be perfect. I’ll guide you step-by-step as you build strength, nourish your body, and simplify your health habits. Expect a supportive space where you’ll be heard, empowered, and encouraged to show up as your best self—even if you’re starting from scratch.

​

My coaching style is compassionate, creative, and deeply personal. I take the time to understand your life—your family, your career, your schedule—and help you create sustainable routines that support your hormones, metabolism, and mental clarity. You can expect accountability, encouragement, science-backed education, and the kind of mindset shifts that create lasting change.

​

When I’m not coaching, you’ll find me painting, pressing flowers, drawing with my daughter, or sewing back together a piece of clothing that needs mending. I love going on walks—especially with my dogs, rainy days, and reading new books. I value simplicity, beauty, family, and doing meaningful work—and that’s what I bring into every client relationship.

​

You don’t have to feel lost in your body. You don’t have to keep trying random diets or wonder if you’re just “getting old.” You just need someone who gets it—someone who’s been there, who knows the science, and who’s here to walk you through the changes with compassion and clarity.

​

Let’s get you feeling strong, balanced, and confident again. You deserve that. And I’d be honored to help you get there.
