Hi, I'm Margaret Powell

I created the functional health programs that I wish I would have had 10 years ago.

I struggled with horrific acne, irregular periods, awful PMS, anxiety, bloating & gut issues and after being told to get back on birth control and take prescriptions for my acne, I took my health into my own hands.

I found solutions, answers and hope and put my process and methodology into a program that uses a food first approach paired with the insights of functional lab testing. Since then, I’ve made it my mission to share this knowledge to empower more women to feel good in their bodies for generations to come!

My team and I have helped hundreds of women heal their hormones, improve their thyroid, improve their fertility, fix their digestion, clear their skin, brain fog and more.

My body was giving me many signs that it was depleted and needed to get back on track! Through testing we were able to see what my body was lacking and work towards improving my mineral levels which I have already been able to see improvement. My brain fog has lifted, dizziness has settled down, energy has gone up, and my acid reflux is gone. They helped me to learn more about how my overall diet should look. So many symptoms stem from something deeper but sometimes we need to do some digging to find the problem.

“Investing in 6 months with Fueled & Free was a big decision, but I don’t know how I’d be feeling any better without it! I’ve felt supported, listened to, and guided through steps to help heal my digestion and support my overall body. I am blown away by Fueled & Free’s knowledge and understanding and am grateful I can trust their team to help set me up for success. In additional to the 1:1 Support, I benefitted greatly from the on-demand videos, live webinars, e-newsletters, and podcast episodes.”

As a woman of 40+ I tell all my friends they need to work with a functional nutritionist! The unexpected breakthrough was the amount of stress I'm in. I didn't know how it affected my body, that it had been going on for years, and that all the problems I got with gut, hormones, and fibroids are the result of the stress. I'm slowly changing my entire life to reduce stress levels and manage it better. It's like a puzzle started to come together for me. I would definitely recommend it!

I had been struggling with low energy, libido, and mood swings. When she had me fill out my forms I told her I didn’t have issues with my gut. Little did I know that there in lie the majority of my problems! They provided me with so many helpful nutritional resources of meal ideas and supplements. I would recommend everyone to get tests done to see what your body is needing and then trust them to help balance those needs in a timely and cost effective way. It’s worth every penny to feel good!

Frequently Asked Questions

It’s an intimate, safe space with women on the same journey as you, where you can ask questions and get support from your practitioner Monday-Friday. We have weekly check-ins with you on Fridays, and are here to support you.

Nope! You have enough on your plate. Occasionally we host topic-specific classes, which will be recorded.

While we cannot prescribe (you need a well-versed licensed provider), we will guide you in the right direction, provide education and resources to help you get the support you need. We also include an HRT Providers Directory (organized by state) to reduce overwhelm in finding a prescribing provider when and if the time is right to start hormone replacement therapy. If you start HRT, we help guide you in fine-tuning your regimen (with your prescribing provider) and better advocate for yourself throughout the process.

We don’t believe in restrictive diets or eliminating tons of foods (we love protein, fat and carbs!). You’ll get recommendations for hormone-friendly functional foods to enjoy and a handful of problematic foods to avoid. That said, depending on your unique needs, we may provide specific dietary guidelines (i.e. amount of protein/carbs to consume, low histamine diet, etc.). We share over 200 delicious recipes & meal ideas!

Most of us are deficient in key nutrients and it’s one of the many reasons we experience bothersome symptoms! Ideally you’d get all your nutrients from food, but unfortunately, that’s not always enough. Between depleted soil, pesticides in produce, stress, restaurant food, and eating on-the-go, assume you need some nutritional support. I believe in supplementing what’s lost and/or correcting underlying imbalances. Once we review your intake form and test results, we create a customized plan, which includes supplement suggestions.

You can access the resources anytime via our secure client app. Once you enroll, you’ll create an account and login to review the material. You will continue to have access to the online course material after the program ends.

No, this program is not for you if you are pregnant or newly postpartum.

As a busy woman myself, I had other busy women (like you) in mind when creating the program. I’ve designed it so you get weekly emails guiding you, 8 easy-to-consume modules with a blend of short videos, audio, and a few short PDFs. Most of our clients are action takers, get incredible results by implementing what they learn, taking targeted supplements, and being active in our community. We love go-getters!

Due to the digital nature of the materials provided and costs of tests, there will be no refunds. Please email hello@margaretpowell.com with any questions and/or book a complimentary call to ensure you’re a good fit for the program.
