About Us
Hey there! We’re Fawn & Sarah, the sisters behind Balanced by Plants. If you made it here, we’re excited you found us!
Like you, we’re women in menopause with a goal to understand our changing bodies. We believe that if there’s a way to thrive during this stage of life… to feel more in control of our health, energy, strength, mobility, and confidence… we want that for ourselves and other women, too.
Raised in the Midwest, we became very familiar with the health challenges often associated with the standard American diet. We’ve witnessed firsthand our family members face heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, stroke, and cancer. We’ve watched loved ones lose mobility, become wheelchair-bound, and rely on others for care.
Of course, we don’t want that for ourselves or our children. We want to push back against the patterns that lead to obesity and diet-related disease. We want to feel healthy, vibrant, strong and mobile for as long as possible, and help others who want the same.
Our approach is rooted in plant-forward nutrition, movement that feels good, and simple daily habits that support metabolic and hormonal health over time.
We hope you find value in our free resources and choose to be part of our growing community. If you’re here, we truly believe your health is within reach and worth showing up for. 💚

Our Mission
We created Balanced by Plants to empower women in perimenopause and menopause to be strong, healthy, supported, and confident in their bodies, through practical guidance and nourishing plant-based recipes.
Our Approach to Information
We care deeply about the quality of the information we share. The wellness space is full of conflicting advice, bold claims, and trend-driven content, and we don’t believe that’s helpful, especially for women navigating perimenopause and menopause. That’s why we intentionally limit where our information comes from and return to the same trusted, evidence-based sources again and again.
Our plant-forward approach aligns with guidance from established medical and nutrition organizations. We rely on academic and nonprofit medical institutions, menopause-focused professional organizations, and evidence-based nutrition education platforms.
We believe education is most powerful when it supports thoughtful decision-making. While we take the responsibility of sharing health information seriously, we encourage you to work with your healthcare provider, ask questions, do your own research, and use what you learn in a way that feels right for your body and your life.
Note: All content is for educational purposes and isn’t a substitute for personalized medical care. Please consult your healthcare provider for individual guidance.
