As a New York Times Bestselling Author and Performance Nutrition Strategist, I empower lawyers and other high achievers to optimize their performance, focus, productivity, and sustained energy through evidence-based strategies for peak mental and physical well-being.

Wellness for lawyers & other high achievers
As a high achiever, you are accustomed to the "all or nothing" approach, especially in your professional life. Yet, applying this pursuit of perfection to your well-being often leads to counterproductive results—burnout, inconsistent energy, and diminished focus. You instinctively know what you should do, but implementing it consistently is the real challenge.

This is where my Strategic Imperfection approach to Performance Nutrition comes in. As a former practicing lawyer (JD), I've spent years coaching attorneys, leaders, and high achievers, guiding them away from damaging health extremes and toward sustainable, elite results. I offer strategic, step-by-step guidance that propels you toward the lasting success you truly desire—without sacrificing your career.Together, we will focus on the key pillars of high-level performance:

  • Optimize focus and productivity to gain a distinct professional edge.

  • Build deep, stress resilience to alleviate anxiety and prevent career burnout.

  • Enhance sustained energy for consistent output and mental stamina.

  • Conquer cravings and optimize mental sharpness using targeted nutrition strategies.

  • Design practical, high-impact meals that fit your demanding schedule.

  • Master your ideal weight and align your physical health with your highest professional goals.

What people are saying...

 I literally feel like a different person since I found Missy! I've developed new habits to replace ones that were holding me back. I highly recommend her! 

Lisa D: Hormonal Issues

 Moms and dads, if you’re at your wit’s end trying to get your kids to eat healthy... well, fret no more! Finally, it’s The Sneaky Chef to the Rescue. As the mother of a very picky eater, the only way to get my son Josh to eat his veggies is with Missy’s creative and delicious recipes - they are a lifesaver for this often over-worried mom. 

Natalie Morales, Today Show host

 With Missy’s recipes, we have no excuse for avoiding all the delicious satisfying foods we’ve all been neglecting. She understands flavors and texture as well as any chef and edits her recipes for a healthy experience. 

Daniel Boulud, Chef/Owner Dinex Group

 I lost the last five pounds on Missy’s sugar detox and people are saying how great I look. I feel so much healthier and energized — her plan really jumpstarted my body and brain into craving healthy food. It was a turning point for me. 

Charlotte F., Westchester, NY

 My biggest struggle was pain from osteoarthritis. I wanted to investigate what foods would ease the inflammation in my hands. I had tried epidurals, prescription anti-inflammatories and over the counter pain killers. Missy showed me what foods to choose to ease inflammation and gave me strategies for managing food choices. I would highly recommend Missy....she is an excellent resource. 

Rosanne E., NY

 I am forever grateful to Missy for her guidance. She turned my kitchen upside down, and completely revolutionized how I think about food. I do not just eat healthier since I met her, I feel less anxious and feel happier! 

Ester V.

 As a busy executive and mother of three young boys, I was struggling with how to upgrade my eating habits and make small changes that would make me feel better overall. Missy was like a detective, working through everything from sleep to the use of simple OTC painkillers. I learned a lot about food that I will use my whole life. Her style is collaborative and encouraging. Plus, we had fun along the way. 

Deirdre L., NYC

 Giving up sugar seemed like an impossible feat to me, especially given the many temptations I had at the office. But Missy was so resourceful and helped me realize that sugar was hidden in many other foods I was consuming - way beyond office donuts and bagels! She shared her own struggles and gave me a realistic plan to tackle my cravings and I felt better in ways that surprised me. Her solutions will stick with me beyond any other diet plan that I have tried. 

Renee S., Westchester, NY

 I'd tried Weight Watchers and an infinite number of other diets, and working with Missy finally got the weight off – I lost 10 pounds in just 3 months without deprivation. Missy taught me about nutrition and easy home cooked meals with new foods I hadn’t tried before….all delicious! 

Genie, Westchester, NY

 I’ve struggled with weight issues, portion control and sleep issues for the past 10 years. Missy showed me how certain foods cause inflammation to the body, and how to eat well without “dieting." This was life-changing! Within a few weeks, my sleep improved, my knee pain disappeared, and the weight was slowly coming off! I'd highly recommend Missy -- she really knows how to help you reach your goals. 

Linda B., Scarsdale, NY

 I wanted to do an anti-inflammatory diet that was sustainable and asked for Missy’s help. She was a joy to work with, answered my deluge of questions, and guided me with clarity so it was easy to follow the plan. The stiffness in my body greatly reduced within two weeks. After two months, I had another unexpected benefit: I lost 9 pounds and have since lost another 5 pounds. 

Nicole M., NYC

 Working with Missy on the journey to my best self has been nothing short of life impacting. Her ability to listen and help you focus on your existing strengths and on your relationship and commitment to health and wellness helped me make sustainable changes that position me for success when life throws unexpected challenges. Missy is dedicated to her craft and willing to share her vast resource of knowledge. I highly recommend Missy to anyone ready to take that journey and trust that you will be celebrated for every step you take! 

Tamara H., Miami FL

 As an active tennis player, I had a constant, nagging pain in my back. Since working with Missy, my pain has subsided and is manageable. Her guidance and instruction are invaluable in moving forward in my active life. 

Valerie D., Westchester, NY

 I can divide up my life in terms of how I ate pre-Missy and post-Missy. I love the post-Missy-me who is losing weight and feeling healthier. And it isn’t just me that’s reaping the rewards. My whole family is eating better and our toddler will reap a lifetime of better health as a result. I can’t thank Missy enough!
