Supporting women through perimenopause, menopause and beyond.

Welcome to Frame Health

Hi, I'm Liv (Alivia Cortez), a Registered Holistic Nutritionist, Metabolic Balance Practitioner, ACE Certified Personal Trainer, and certified Perimenopause and Menopause Coach.

I help busy women navigate the changes of midlife through personalised nutrition, fitness and lifestyle strategies grounded in evidence and designed to fit real life.

Based in Ocean Grove near Geelong, Victoria, I work with women online across Australia and Canada, helping them build sustainable habits that support their energy, strength, sleep and long-term wellbeing.

Midlife Hormonal Shifts

The Ripple Effect on Body and Mind

From hot flashes that flare without warning to nights spent drenched in sweat, mid-life hormonal shifts can echo through every corner of a woman’s life. You might notice sudden mood swings or creeping anxiety, wrestle with stubborn weight gain that refuses to budge, or feel your once-steady sleep crumble into restless hours of insomnia. Brain fog, memory blips, and a dip in libido can shake your confidence, while joint aches, muscle pain, and relentless fatigue drain the energy you need to lead at work and at home. Even digestion can rebel—constipation, bloating, or other gut issues often appear just when you least expect them. Although every woman’s experience is unique, the common thread is clear: these symptoms are real, multifaceted, and deserve thoughtful, individualized care.

Not Feeling Like Yourself Lately?

Energy crashes. Changing weight. Cravings. Poor sleep. Brain fog. Slower recovery.

These symptoms can feel unrelated but they may be telling you something about how your body is managing energy in midlife.

Bridging the Gap Between Clinical Insight and Everyday Action

Lasting mid-life wellness is rarely a solo effort—it takes a coordinated team. Your functional-medicine physician or naturopath offers indispensable diagnostic insight and therapeutic direction, yet their appointment windows are often too brief to walk you through every daily decision that drives real change. That’s where I come in.

Working alongside your primary practitioners, I give you the time and individualized attention they can’t always provide—translating lab results into practical nutrition strategies, identifying smart supplement options, suggesting targeted tests when deeper data could help, and creating meal plans that fit your schedule and tastes. Together we’ll layer in tools to calm an over-taxed nervous system and fine-tune metabolic health, so every facet of your program supports the next. The result is a truly personalized roadmap—and the ongoing guidance—to move from “just coping” to confidently thriving.

Whether you are just beginning your wellness journey or are looking to sustain the results you have achieved, I can help you align your habits with your goals - so you can feel rested, strong and clear again.
