Nancy Di Nino is a former national-level Figure competitor (NPC) with over ten years of competition experience and more than twenty-five years of personal training and coaching, working with everyone from complete novices to athletes prepping for the stage.
She has dedicated her career to helping women over 40 move past the "midlife and menopausal" plateau, building lean muscle, optimizing hormones, and learning the strategies that actually work for their now bodies, so they can train, get strong, and build genuinely athletic physiques.
"Times have changed, and so have women. It's my mission to educate women on new research, the information they need to optimize their hormones and health, while ditching society's antiquated methods."
As a figure athlete and fitness model herself, Nancy knows firsthand what it takes to feel great in your own skin. Her own journey through a slow metabolism, fat-storing genetics, and low thyroid function pushed her to test and refine a strategy built specifically for bodies like hers, an approach that only got sharper after 40, when she had to find an entirely new way to eat and train to rebalance her hormones and stay in peak shape.
Her passion for fitness has carried into a diverse career across the international fitness, media, and modeling industry, landing features and covers for titles like Oxygen, Muscle & Fitness Hers, and Iron Man Magazine. A natural on camera, she's hosted coverage for Bodybuilding.com, the Olympia, the Toronto Pro Supershow, and the Arnold Sports Festival, interviewing UFC fighters, sports icons, and legends like Arnold Schwarzenegger himself. As former co-host of Living Beautiful Radio, she's stayed committed to one message: helping people live beautifully, inside and out.
