Nourish ADVISORS

Lisa Roberts

Lisa Roberts, M.Phil., is a Strategic Health & Well-Being Advisor and the founder of The Archaeology of Well-Being™, a framework that connects food, daily practices, and nervous system health to long-term cardiovascular and cognitive outcomes in women.

Her work centers on a question many women are quietly asking:
How do I take care of myself in the middle of a full, demanding life—and actually sustain it?

Lisa translates research across women’s heart health, brain health, metabolism, and how the body responds to stress into clear, repeatable ways of living. Her work is especially focused on midlife, when shifts in hormones, stress load, and daily demands begin to directly impact cardiovascular risk.

She also brings a trauma-informed lens to her work, focusing on how chronic stress and lived experience influence the microbiome, inflammation, and long-term heart health.

She works primarily with private individuals and leadership teams navigating how to make clinician recommendations applicable to their lives. Her approach blends nutrition science, behavior change, and practical application, translating complex guidance into daily systems that people can actually follow.

She designs personalized frameworks that support the long-term health of the heart, brain, nervous system, and hormones within complex, high-responsibility lives.

She works at the intersection of:

food as information, not diet culture
the nervous system, not willpower
and daily life, not ideal conditions

Lisa teaches at Stanford through the University’s BeWell & Healthy Living Programs, and at New York University. At Stanford, she has taught across more than 17 departments, including cardiothoracic surgery, neurosurgery, obstetrics and gynecology, and the Stanford Cyber Policy Center. She is a keynote speaker for leading organizations and has collaborated with the American Heart Association’s Go Red for Women initiative. She also serves as a frequent guest expert at Canyon Ranch.

She serves on the Advisory Board of Adesso Health, supporting preventative cardiac care for women, and is a member of the 100 Women of Impact with CaringKind, a leadership group advancing brain health and Alzheimer’s prevention.

Lisa holds a graduate degree from Oxford University and earned her undergraduate degree from Tufts University. She trained at the French Culinary Institute.

For over fifteen years, Lisa has worked closely with individuals and families navigating anxiety, burnout, addiction, and major life transitions. That experience shapes how she works: grounded, practical, and deeply aware of what it takes to care for your health in the middle of a full life.

She doesn’t ask women to do more. She helps them work with what’s already there—and build a way of living that supports lasting heart health.
