Why I quit my C-level job and corporate America for the 2nd time
How to quit a job before it’s too late and why my autoimmune conditions continue to be a blessing for me
Over 10 years ago, after years of trial and error, Simla Somturk reversed multiple autoimmune conditions including fibromyalgia and lupus, along with chronic fatigue syndrome, IBS, SIBO, and more. More recently, navigating her own perimenopausal transition has further deepened her appreciation for the truly awe-inspiring healing power of the body, mind, and spirit. These experiences went beyond changing her life; they shaped her life’s work.
As a functional nutritionist and holistic health coach, Simla guides women through autoimmune and perimenopause and out of depletion and overwhelm to reclaim their self, health, and joy. Her approach draws from science, soul, lived experience, and nature’s wisdom.
What makes her work unique is her real-world understanding from both sides of the wellness industry. After starting out in management consulting, she spent a decade leading her first nutrition practice before ultimately transitioning to C-level executive roles at natural product and supplement companies. Along with the rise in autoimmune diseases and life-changing advancements in perimenopause-related research, she witnessed first-hand where the health and wellness industries truly succeed and where they fail to serve clients’ best interests.
That insider perspective revealed a critical gap: women need trustworthy, effective guidance to cut through the noise and make lasting changes. So she returned to what matters most: helping women take control of their health.
Today, as Founder and Principal of HealthCraft, Simla combines hard-won personal insights, clinical experience as a Certified Nutrition Consultant and Certified Holistic Health Coach, and insider industry knowledge to help women calm the fires and flares of perimenopause and autoimmune through soulful inspiration and science-based, practical guidance using food and lifestyle as medicine.
Her Mission: Turn the rising tide of autoimmune and ease the perimenopausal transition for 10,000+ women over the next 10 years.
Her Belief: The world needs women, healthy and in our full power, more than ever.
