Welcome! I'm SO glad you're here!

"Good nutrition creates health in all areas of our existence. All parts are interconnected."   - Dr. T. Colin Campbell

What if you could feel, look and be your very best - all the time?

Wouldn't it be awesome to be able to maintain a healthy weight, give up the yo-yo dieting, sleep well, enjoy the activities you love, and have the energy to crush your life goals?

So many of us know the frustration of the cycle of losing then gaining back weight, feeling low energy and maybe having preventable health issues blocking us from doing the things we love and want to be able to do in our lives. Many of us have tried aaaaaallll the "diet" plans out there. Some even worked. For a while. But we felt like crap and within a short period of time we gained the weight back because we couldn't sustain the "diet" we were on. Or, our health and energy started to get affected by not eating enough or not eating the right kinds of healthy foods that give us the nutrients we need to really thrive. Sound familiar? It sure was to me too! And I also felt that sense of "failure" that came and went with each weight loss and re-gain. But in the years since I became educated and certified in nutrition, weight loss specialization, fitness nutrition and fitness and health coaching, I have lived a very different kind of life. Understanding nutrition and committing to the healthy whole foods, plant-based eating lifestyle changed my life and I've never looked back in 20 years. I have worked with hundreds of clients who have achieved great results too as I've coached them in learning how nutrition - in addition to fitness - affects so much of your well-being and life. And now I have developed this course to share with you what I KNOW works to let you live a life in your optimal health that you can sustain for the rest of your life. This is a course based on science and research. I am a certified plant-based nutritionist and I continue to sift through the misinformation and evidence-based facts and research studies so you don't have to. Having the knowledge of what healthy nutrition is and a deeper understanding of weight loss principles will help you form new eating habits that will allow you to improve your health and reach your goals. As you see and FEEL the benefits of a healthy, sustainable eating style it will inspire you to keep going in this way of eating real, healthy food. Eating and even losing weight should still be fun and joyful! Take the stress and struggle out of your efforts to get healthy by learning the principles of good nutrition and how to choose healthier eating options every day! Eating well and feeling good as you strive to reach your ideal weight can and should be joyful! It's not always easy, but it should for sure be a positive thing. Eating a whole foods, plant-based diet - or even taking some small steps to get closer to that way of eating - I promise you will enjoy especially once you feel the health and energy benefits! And bonus - you won't feel hungry with this way of eating!
