Functional Nutritionist and Lifestyle Practitioner LoisAnn McDole

Hi, I'm LoisAnn, founder of She Breathes Freely, a place where women come to reconnect with their health, rediscover their strength, and find support along the way. I believe that health is our birthright. We enter this world with a breath, and one day, we will leave it with a breath. But how often do we stop to think about all the breaths in between? Those breaths carry us through joy, grief, stress, change, and everything life brings our way. Yet somewhere along the journey, many of us lose our connection to our bodies, our well-being, and even one another. I believe it's time to reclaim that connection. My passion for this work is deeply personal. After losing both of my parents in their sixties, I began questioning how nutrition, lifestyle, and prevention influence our health. While studying at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, I lost my mother following her battle with lung cancer. Her experience strengthened my commitment to helping women find freedom from nicotine without judgment, shame, or fear. As a Functional Nutrition and Lifestyle Practitioner, Certified Health Coach, and Tobacco Prevention Specialist, I've spent years helping people understand how everyday choices, stress, nourishment, and habits influence their health. But I've also learned something equally important: We were never meant to navigate life's challenges alone. For generations, women have gathered to share wisdom, nourish their families, care for one another, and offer support through life's transitions. Somewhere along the way, we've lost much of that connection. That's one of the reasons I created She Breathes Freely. It's a place to bring that sense of sisterhood back. A community where women can learn, share, ask questions, be heard, and support one another—before, during, and long after their individual health journeys begin. Through functional nutrition, breathwork, nervous system support, movement, and lifestyle education, I help women build the foundations for lasting well-being. Whether you're navigating digestive concerns, hormonal changes, stress, low energy, or working toward freedom from nicotine, my approach begins with understanding the whole woman, not simply addressing a symptom or habit. I believe meaningful change begins when we learn to listen to our bodies, nourish ourselves, breathe with intention, and make choices that support the lives we want to live. You don't need another quick fix or a list of things you're doing wrong. You deserve education, compassion, practical tools, and a community that reminds you that you don't have to do this alone. Your health matters. Your story matters. And every breath between your first and your last is worth caring for.
