About Trisha
Trisha Peña is a Functional Nutritionist with a Master’s degree in Human Nutrition and Functional Medicine under CNS Supervision (a mouthful!). She specializes in perimenopause support, gut optimization, metabolic health, and functional lab interpretation for those who want to understand what’s really happening in their bodies.
Rather than looking at labs through a disease-only lens, Trisha evaluates patterns, trends, and early dysfunction to help clients move toward optimal function before symptoms progress to disease.
She combines evidence-based research, targeted nutraceutical and herbal support, and personalized nutrition strategies to address root causes such as chronic inflammation, stress load, nutrient deficiencies, and immune dysregulation. Her approach is collaborative, strategic, and grounded in physiology.
Trisha first entered the functional medicine space as a Certified Health Coach before pursuing her graduate degree to deepen her understanding of biochemical pathways and clinical nutrition. That advanced training allows her to identify root causes of health issues, and design structured, practical care plans to address them.
Her professional journey was shaped in part by her own experience with autoimmune thyroid disease, which reinforced her belief that the body communicates long before it breaks down. That season ignited her desire to ask deeper questions, connect the dots, and help others feel better, rather than “just getting by.”
As a wife and mother of five, and a woman of faith, Trisha believes health is not just about lab numbers. It’s about having the clarity, energy, and resilience to live fully.
From My Clients
I love the total approach Vivawise takes, it’s so much more than just diet and exercise. I now have a great toolkit for holistic health. I also appreciate how caring and dedicated Katie and Megan. The time taken and thoroughness are unmatched to anything I’ve experienced. I’ve learned so much since working with Megan. I feel and look better overall, my stress has reduced-I have hope! I love knowing I’m doing good things for my body and mind and have a new outlook on health. I’m extremely grateful to have found this place!
I appreciate the intentional and personalized approach Katie and Megan put into coaching me according to what I wanted to accomplish as well as what my lab results were showing. My energy has been up through the roof! My focus at work and home have been sustained throughout even long, hard days. I have slept better, had less pain and felt so much better throughout the day. I saw remarkable improvements in my blood labs especially in my cholesterol, triglycerides and DHEA! I recommend anyone who doesn't have energy and is struggling with emotional well-being to spend money and time now with empathetic coaches who help guide us to make lifestyle choices that help us not just get healthy and stay healthy...but to enjoy life to the maximum!
The nutritional tips and encouragement from Megan have been super helpful. I like that I can work at my pace without judgment. I love that you tailor my nutrition plan to my lifestyle and my bloodwork and other test results! I definitely have more energy and more motivation to stay on this health journey for life. I have lost weight, my inflammation has gone down and I have more confidence in my ability to control my nutrition and exercise goals! I recommend others who need to improve their health but don’t have a clue where to start! The one on one sessions are literally life changing!
My wellness plan was customized to my needs and wants. It is not a blanket approach where they give everyone the same program. Katie & Megan really took the time to understand my personal challenges and gave me the tools to help myself! I was never perfect with my program but the providers were very patient and understanding. They always came up with creative solutions to help me overcome my obstacles. Katie & Megan are so educated and experienced that they could easily pivot with any issues or excuses I came in with. Their service in my opinion is underpriced because they will change your life and your family's for the better! My energy and focus has extremely improved. I used to need daily naps and I had brain fog all the time. I actually needed a lot of help with stress management which has been extremely beneficial in my life. I wish I got help years ago!!
I appreciate how patient and kind my health coach Megan has been. She holds me accountable but doesn't shame me or make me feel guilty if I go off track. The most noticeable change has been with my weight. I've lost a little over 20lbs since working with Vivawise. I also notice that the way I interact with food has changed. I don't crave as much junk food, and I more easily notice when I feel full. I'd recommend people who have been struggling with their weight/health for a long time and don't quite know where to start.
