About Morgana Lakatos-Hayward

Morgana Lakatos-Hayward is a former two-time World Champion Latin dancer whose journey from performance perfectionism to personal healing reshaped her life — and the lives of countless women.

After a decade of battling body shaming, fad dieting, overtraining, and disordered eating, Morgana developed adenomyosis and hypothyroidism — two hormonal conditions that forced her to confront the deeper truth about women’s health. That turning point led her to the field of lifestyle medicine, where she discovered how to restore balance, vitality, and confidence through science-backed, holistic frameworks.

Today, Morgana is the founder of This Isn’t a Diet — a concierge-style wellness company helping high-achieving women in midlife master their hormones, metabolism, and energy. She is also the bestselling author of Read This When You’re Done Dieting and host of the Listen to This When You’re Done Dieting podcast, where she redefines what true health looks like beyond restriction and burnout.

Her mission is simple yet revolutionary: to show women that midlife isn’t decline — it’s data, design, and a decade of vitality.
