Denise Glenn, RN, CHC
Registered Nurse. Certified Health and Nutrition Coach. And a woman who lost over 100 pounds as a full-time working professional.
She didn't figure it out because she had unlimited time, a personal chef, or an easy path. She figured it out the same way Flourish is built to help other women do it: by understanding her body, building sustainable habits, and finding an approach that actually worked with her real life.
Where This All Comes From
For most of her adult life, Denise tried what most women try. Diets with rules she couldn't live by. Programs that worked for a while and then didn't. Advice that made perfect sense in theory and fell apart in practice.
She had clinical training. She understood the physiology. And still, she struggled. Because understanding how something works in a textbook is different from figuring out how to make it work in a full life, with a demanding job, competing priorities, and real-world complexity.
When she finally lost over 100 pounds, it wasn't because she found the perfect plan. It was because she stopped looking for a perfect plan and started building one that was actually designed for her, her body, her schedule, and her life.
That experience changed how she thought about her nursing career. Flourish with Denise grew out of a belief that women deserve health support that is clinically grounded, personally honest, and designed for real life, not an idealized version of it.

100+ Pounds Lost as a Working Professional
Denise's personal health journey is not a footnote. It is the reason Flourish approaches health the way it does: practically, sustainably, and with deep respect for how hard it actually is. It is Denise's own experience, not a typical or promised result for anyone who uses Flourish.
The Approach Behind Flourish
Evidence First
Everything Denise teaches is grounded in research, not trends. If the evidence doesn't support it, Flourish doesn't sell it.
Whole-Person
Nutrition alone doesn't explain health outcomes. Sleep, stress, hormones, habits, and life context all matter. Denise looks at all of it.
Built Around Your Life
The best health plan is the one that works inside your actual schedule, relationships, and commitments. Not a version of your life that doesn't exist.
Clear Scope
Denise is a nurse and a health coach, not a physician. She is clear about what coaching can and cannot do, and works alongside your medical care, not in place of it.
Honest Partnership
No false promises. No generic programs dressed up as personalized. Just an honest assessment of where you are and a realistic plan for where you want to go.
Sustainable Over Fast
Fast results that don't hold are not results. Denise builds plans designed to work for years, not weeks.
