Clinician. Healer. Guide. Mother. Woman on a mission.

My Story

Dr. Vanessa Menanteau

Raised in a family of strong, wellness-minded women, I learned early that food was more than fuel. It was medicine, love, and lineage.

After training as a clinician and working with women in a traditional medical setting for over 15 years, I saw firsthand how many women were dismissed, disempowered, or disconnected from their health. I felt deep inside I was meant to help change that.

My own journey with hormonal health challenges led me to explore beyond conventional approaches. Through specialized training in fasting protocols specifically designed for women, I discovered the powerful combination of ancestral wisdom and modern clinical insights.

My Vision

To restore women to the wisdom of their bodies.

I envision a world where women are no longer dismissed, disempowered, or disconnected from their health. At Nutrición Pura Vida, my vision is to guide women back to the natural intelligence of their hormones, their cycles, and their spirit.

When women reclaim their metabolic health, they reclaim their power. They become catalysts for healing within their families, communities, and beyond.

My Mission

To provide compassionate, clinically-informed coaching that helps women reset their metabolism, balance their hormones, and awaken their innate healing power.

Through personalized fasting protocols, nutrition guidance, and holistic support, I create a container for transformation that honors each woman's unique body, story, and timing.

I bring together the best of both worlds: evidence-based medical knowledge and traditional healing wisdom.
