Meet Shelley Nolan-Hefty:
Your Guide to Holistic Nutrition and Wellness
Hi, I’m Shelley and my road to true health has been bumpy.. .thyroid dysfunction, allergies, anxiety, fatigue, excess weight, basal cell carcinoma, uterine fibroids resulting in a hysterectomy and the latest…Stage III colorectal cancer.
How did all that happen you ask?
Great question, I had no clue…
I worked out regularly and had participated in all the latest and greatest trends. I had done low carb, low fat, Keto, Atkins (remember that??) plant based and Whole30. Since I was a teen I had been in sports and a member at various gyms where I had done step aerobics, Zumba, spin classes, kickboxing & HIIT. I dabbled in yoga, pilates and barre…you get the picture.
I thought health and wellness was front and center, but clearly, I was neither healthy nor well.
My body had been telling me this for years in increasingly escalating ways.
Cancer was my wake-up call.
I had walked beside my beautiful, loving and all around amazing mom as she fought hard against breast cancer and lost.
I knew exactly what it looked like to die from cancer and exactly how that would affect my kids, husband, family & friends.
After lots of initial tears and fear I said, “F* that!” and got to work.
As a former journalist, I know how to dig deep, ask the right questions, and get to the root of the problem. My background in pharmaceutical sales gave me the tools to analyze medical studies and understand complex health data.
I dove headfirst into researching chronic disease, cancer, the microbiome and metabolic health.
I learned that your plate can be more powerful than a prescription pad, how stress weakens your immune system, and that what you eat and how you choose to live shapes every aspect of your health.
Your health is like a bank account; every choice you make—what you eat, how you manage stress, how much you move—is either a deposit or a withdrawal. The catch? There’s interest. Poor choices compound over time, leading to fatigue, inflammation, and chronic disease. But the same is true for positive choices: every nourishing meal, restful night, and mindful moment strengthens your foundation, giving you the power to take control of your health and your life.
Because that’s what we all really want, right? The power to show up fully—to feel energized, confident, and capable of living the life we dream of. We want to reconnect with who we are at our best. I’ve been there and know what it feels like to think that’s out of reach, but here’s the truth: we have far more power over our health than we’ve been led to believe. If I could take control of my health, so can you.
That’s why I went back to school, earned my Nutritional Therapy Practitioner certification, and turned my experience into action to help others elevate their health and live in balance. As an NTP, I take a holistic, science-based approach, focusing on root causes instead of symptoms. It’s foundational, consistent, and practical—no fads, trends, or quick fixes.
My goal is to help you not just feel better, but truly thrive—to reconnect with your strength, unlock your potential, and show up fully for the life you’re meant to live. You have more power than you think, and I’m here to help you harness it.
My mission?
To empower you to take control of your health, appreciate your amazing body, increase your energy, and build a vibrant, healthy future.
Why wait to fix what’s holding you back? Your health, your energy, your happiness—it all starts with you.
But here’s the good news: you don’t have to figure it out alone.
Together, we’ll identify what’s dragging you down, break through the barriers holding you back, and craft a plan that delivers real, lasting results. This is your wake-up call. Stop settling for “fine” when you deserve optimal. Your healthier, more vibrant life is waiting—are you ready to claim it? Let’s do this!
