With over a decade of experience in pharmacy management, she has counseled thousands of women on critical health decisions, witnessing firsthand the gaps in menopause care. This experience inspired her to create a more integrated, evidence-based approach that blends clinical insight with lifestyle strategies to support women through perimenopause and menopause.
As the founder of Victoria Byrd Health Coach, LLC and host of the Women Mastering Midlife podcast, Victoria provides one-on-one coaching, group programs, and educational resources that emphasize the five pillars of menopausal health: nutrition, movement, sleep, stress mitigation, and lifestyle. Her mission is to empower women to not just survive midlife but thrive in it, combining scientific knowledge with practical, real-world guidance. She collaborates with physicians and wellness professionals to deliver holistic care and bridge the gap between prescriptive and integrative approaches.
Victoria’s educational background includes a PharmD from the University of Georgia and a Bachelor of Pharmacy from the University of Health Sciences and Pharmacy in St. Louis. She holds multiple certifications in perimenopause, menopause, and longevity, and is a member of the Menopause Society and Functional Pharmacist Medicine Alliance. Beyond her professional work, Victoria is a devoted mother of two, enjoys the outdoors, cooking, and supporting her community through her role on the Board of the Hands-On Children’s Museum, where she co-chairs their annual gala to fund access programs.
