Welcome to the Naked Pharmacist

About Marie

Marie Micallef is a licensed pharmacist and certified lifestyle coach who supports you in understanding your body and restoring health through informed, sustainable lifestyle choices.

With a foundation in pharmacy and a deep respect for the body’s innate intelligence, Marie bridges clinical knowledge with lived experience. Her work focuses on how your daily habits, including when and how you eat, how you sleep, how you manage stress and how you respond to internal signals, influence hormonal balance, metabolic health, energy levels and long-term resilience.

Marie’s approach is personalised and practical. She does not offer quick fixes or generic protocols. Instead, she takes the time to understand your health history, current patterns, symptoms and capacity for change. From there, she guides realistic adjustments that can be integrated into your life and sustained over time.

Her work is particularly suited to you if you are navigating hormonal transitions, fatigue, metabolic challenges, digestive concerns or a sense of disconnection from your body despite ongoing efforts to improve your health. Marie recognises that long-standing or chronic issues require time, consistency and informed guidance to resolve.

Marie believes that understanding creates agency. When you understand what is happening in your body, fear gives way to clarity and you regain the ability to choose what truly supports your long-term health.

Marie works with a limited number of clients through one-on-one consultations, longer-term structured care plans and educational talks or workshops. She also supports men seeking structured, personalised guidance to improve metabolic health, energy levels and lifestyle habits, using the same evidence-informed and individualised approach.

What Marie Offers

Marie offers lifestyle-based support grounded in science, clinical experience and education. Her work helps you understand how your daily choices influence hormonal regulation, metabolic health, energy levels and long-term physiological resilience.

Rather than applying generic protocols, Marie works by understanding you, your health history, current symptoms, patterns and life context and guiding change in a way that is informed, realistic and sustainable over time.

Areas of focus include:

  • Perimenopause, menopause and postmenopause
  • Metabolic health and metabolic flexibility
  • Nutrition, fasting and lifestyle choices
  • Supporting the body’s natural rhythms
  • Understanding how lifestyle inputs affect physiology

Marie regularly supports women dealing with long-standing or chronic concerns, including:

  • Persistent fatigue and low energy
  • Painful, irregular, or disrupted menstrual cycles
  • PCOS
  • Metabolic dysfunction
  • Insulin resistance, pre-diabetes and diabetes
  • Autoimmune conditions such as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis
  • Weight-related challenges, from modest changes to significant, long-term weight loss

Support is offered through education, structured guidance and personalised coaching, depending on the level of support you need. Marie prioritises clarity, consistency and long-term health outcomes over short-term results.

How to Work with Marie

Coaching that Meets You Where You Are

Marie works with a limited number of clients to ensure the support she offers is personalised, focused and appropriate for your circumstances.

Working together begins with a short application process which includes outlining your health history, current challenges and the level of support you are seeking. This allows Marie to understand your context and determine the most appropriate way to work together.

Personalised Collaborative Coaching

Collaborative coaching with Marie is intended for you if navigating lifestyle change on your own feels overwhelming or unclear.

This may be the case if you are dealing with:

  • Long-standing or chronic health issues
  • Multiple or complex symptoms
  • A sense of uncertainty about where to begin

This type of support is particularly suited to you if you are living with diagnosed conditions or persistent symptoms and need clarity, structure and personalised guidance. Personalised care plans are selective and highly individualised. Each application is reviewed carefully to ensure that this level of support is appropriate and supportive for your situation.

Speaking Engagements

Marie is available for speaking engagements, workshops and conversations that explore lifestyle, hormonal health and metabolic health in a grounded, accessible and evidence-informed way.

As a licensed pharmacist and certified lifestyle coach, Marie brings a rare and highly relevant perspective. She is trained by Dr. Mindy Pelz and is the only registered pharmacist in Malta who is also trained and certified in the Fast Like a Girl approach.

This allows Marie to bridge pharmaceutical training with emerging lifestyle science. She speaks clearly about the role of medication, its long-term impact on the gut and metabolic system and how pharmaceuticals intersect with lifestyle, nutrition, fasting and hormonal rhythms. She is experienced in working collaboratively with doctors and healthcare professionals.

Marie is increasingly sought out to speak about how advances in science are reshaping our understanding of women’s health, particularly the importance of aligning nutrition, fasting, stress, sleep and daily habits with female hormonal cycles across different life stages. Her work highlights why one-size-fits-all approaches fail women and why timing and biological awareness matter.

Speaking formats include:

  • Private events and group settings
  • Company talks and workplace wellbeing sessions
  • Educational workshops
  • Panel discussions and moderated conversations
  • Podcast interviews and recorded conversations

Sessions are adapted to suit the audience, context and time frame.

Topics may include:

  • Hormonal health and the menstrual cycle
  • Perimenopause, menopause and postmenopause
  • Metabolic health and metabolic flexibility
  • Nutrition, fasting and lifestyle timing; understanding when as well as what
  • Supporting energy, focus and resilience through daily habits
  • Why health issues become chronic and how lifestyle patterns reinforce or relieve them
  • Mapping lifestyle choices to hormonal rhythms
