I've been where you are. And I know exactly how to get you out.
But here’s the part that matters more:
I don’t do diets or willpower. I do regulation and systems.
I’m Niki Kourtidou — Diabetes Consultant (DDG), hospital-based, Harvard Medical School Executive Education.
Hi, I'm Niki — and I've been where you are.
Do you wake up and instantly start negotiating with your body?
A good day if the scale cooperates. A bad day if your jeans feel tight. You commit to being disciplined — then stress hits, hormones shift, life happens — and suddenly you’re back in the same loop.
Cravings. Food noise. Starting over.
You’re not lazy. You’re not broken. You’re dysregulated.
And I know this — not just from clinical practice. From the inside.
I have lived with Type 1 diabetes for 30 years.
I knew everything about blood sugar, glycemic response, and metabolic regulation before most people know what a glycemic index is.
I had the science. I had the tools. I understood the biology in a way most people never will.
And I still ended up using food to cope.
Stress. Exhaustion. Emotions with nowhere to go. The moment life got heavy — food was there. Fast. Reliable. Familiar.
That’s when I understood something no textbook ever taught me:
Knowledge is not the missing piece. Regulation is.
The body isn’t being difficult. It’s looking for safety. And once I understood that — everything changed.
What I saw in clinical practice confirmed everything.
For years I worked in clinical settings with women doing everything right. Meal plans. Tracking. Clean eating. Willpower. Some were even on GLP-1 therapy — the most advanced tool available.
And still. The same pattern, again and again.
Progress — then pressure — then life — then the same loop.
Because here’s what nobody says loudly enough:
Medication can reduce appetite. It cannot rewrite the reason you reach for food when you’re stressed, lonely, overstimulated, or finally alone at night.
When the treatment stops — the old pattern returns.
This isn’t a judgment. It’s the missing piece.
This is not theory. This is not a trend.
30 years of lived experience. Clinical hospital practice. Harvard Medical School Executive Education in nutrition and wellness coaching.
I work at the intersection of blood sugar stability, nervous system regulation, and behavioral patterns. All three. Because that’s what actually creates permanent change.
I’m not here to give you another plan to follow perfectly.
I’m here to help you become the woman who doesn’t need one.
If you’ve been waiting for someone who gets it — from the science and from the inside —
I think you just found her.
All my love,
Private coaching is application-only.
I work with a limited number of women at a time — because this work deserves full attention, not a waiting list.
