Care that stays with you after the surgery ends.

From the founder

Hi, I'm Danielle — and I'm the person behind PureBariatric.

For a while, PureBariatric didn't have a face. That was intentional, and for a season it was the right call. But I built this because of my own story, and it's time you knew whose voice you've been reading.

I'm a woman in my 40s who has spent the last several years fighting my body in almost every way a body can be fought — infertility and successful rounds of IVF, a hysterectomy after years of endometriosis, and then perimenopause, which brought a kind of weight resistance I'd never experienced. I know what it feels like to do everything "right" and still not see the scale move — and to wonder if the problem is your willpower when the actual problem is your biology.

Working through my own metabolic health journey — the real, unglamorous kind, with a lot of trial and error — is the reason PureBariatric exists. Not because I wanted to sell a program. Because I wished something like this had existed for me years earlier.

Professionally, I'm a Registered Nurse, BSN, in Canada, nursing since 2005. My clinical background spans labor and delivery, surgical services, and bariatric specialty nursing — years spent supporting patients through the surgical pathways, nutrition transitions, and metabolic complexity that PureBariatric is built around. PureBariatric combines that nursing experience with the lived experience of actually going through it — every lesson comes from someone who has sat in both chairs: the nurse's and the patient's.
