Petya's career has taken her across several countries and cultures, with professional experience in Bulgaria, Bahrain, Dubai, and the United States.

"The best results come from understanding the whole person, not just prescribing another workout."
What I specialise in
Metabolic health & weight loss
Understanding why the scale won't move — and what your metabolism, hormones, and labs are really saying.
Thyroid & Hormone Wellness
Helping clients better understand thyroid and hormone-related lab markers and lifestyle factors that may affect weight, energy and wellbeing.
Menopause & perimenopause
Supporting women through the hormonal shifts that affect weight, energy, sleep, and mood.
Lab interpretation & protocols
Translating your blood work into a clear, actionable plan — not generic advice.
Cardiovascular & cholesterol health
Going beyond LDL and HDL to understand what your lipid panel is really telling you.
Energy & Inflammation
Exploring nutrition, lifestyle and lab-informed factors associated with energy, recovery and inflammatory balance.
My approach
Root-cause, not symptom-chasing
I look at the whole picture — not just the number that's out of range.
Evidence-informed
No fads, no extremes. Every recommendation is grounded in research and adapted to your body.
Empathetic and practical
I've heard your story before — and I take it seriously. Real life has to fit into any protocol I build.
