Are you having trouble losing weight no matter how hard you try? Or perhaps you’ve lost weight but gained it back or have plateaued. Can’t get rid of your belly fat no matter what you do?

Do you have trouble sleeping or wake up tired or feel fatigued throughout the day even after you’ve had a good night’s sleep? Do you experience a dip in energy in the afternoon?

It doesn’t have to be that way. Seriously, feeling good and being healthy is attainable. And with the right tools and support, it’s not difficult to get there.

Let’s get you on the road to optimal wellbeing! I would be honored to help you achieve your weight loss goals and transform your health with ease. There are a few key components that will get you on the path to your healthiest life and ideal weight. They are methods to lose weight lose fast and for good. They are not the same old things you’ve heard and it’s not just about ‘clean eating’ or cutting out certain food groups.

You have a lot more control over your longevity and quality of life than you might think

You know how much I believe in the importance of minimizing your body’s toxic burden by adopting eco friendly lifestyle habits and using clean products both on your body and in your home.

So what’s more important for your health, avoiding toxins and reducing toxic load or maintaining a healthy weight and healthy nutrition?

The truth is, both. We can’t really have optimal health without either. Toxins in our everyday products can lead to disease and various conditions and there are a multitude of diseases that are directly linked to extra weight. Guess where environmental toxins are stored? In your fat cells.

If you’ve read any of my free guides, you’ve learned simple methods to detox your personal care routine & home to live a life less toxic. Now let’s look at some simple yet vital things you can do to reach your ideal weight and enjoy optimal health. 

Your weight and your health are inextricably tied together.

A healthy body starts with a heathly weight. 

Obesity is the leading cause of preventable death. Most people think that an obese person is 100 or more pounds overweight but that’s not the case. The definition of obesity is only 30 pounds overweight.

Perhaps your doctor has advised you to lose some weight. But is he helping you do it? Not likely. He just expects you to figure it out and do it. You need a plan. Your doctor might be telling you that you are overweight, have high blood pressure, high cholesterol or any number of other health issues but are they giving you the tools you need to get healthy or are they simply offering the ‘band-aid’ of medication?

Food can be an addiction 

It’s not your fault. Sugar is addicting. Food is an addiction for some which is why it’s hard and why willpower often doesn’t work for the long term. We have to create new habits and properly balance nutrition so we lose cravings and hunger and use fat stores as energy.

There is so much conflicting information out there which makes it hard to figure out what to do and many diets are unrealistically restrictive that it’s difficult to stick with them and nearly impossible to assimilate them into real life and sustain them long term.

We must choose healthy lifestyle habits that we can maintain for a lifetime. It can be done with ease. It doesn’t have to be so hard to maintain your ideal weight.

What got you here won’t get you there.

“Our food should be our medicine and our medicine should be our food.” –Hippocrates, Ancient Greek Physician

There are 3 key factors that are absolutely vital for not only losing weight but also maintaining that ideal weight AND feeling good:

The Protein Connection

Consuming inadequate amounts of protein slows your metabolism. The part of your brain that manages metabolism is focused on making sure you have the energy you need to survive. When you cheat your body and neglect to fuel it with the right balance of nutrition it starts robbing your muscles of fuel and directing that energy to your vital organs causing your metabolism to dip lower.

Your body needs amino acids to stay functional, they are the building blocks of protein. If you don’t get enough of them your body is forced to tap into your muscles. It’s about the proper balance, you don’t want too much protein but you certainly don’t want too little.

A pound of muscle burns 7 to 10 cal a day, a pound of fat burns only two or three.

Blood Sugar Levels Matter

Certain foods cause our blood sugar to spike. Then it drops… it goes up and down which gets insulin revved up. Sugar is a drug. It’s the first energy our body takes. Your body is looking for nutrition.

When your blood sugar spikes, the surge of insulin from the pancreas causes inflammation and it triggers your liver to convert everything to fat. An unhealthy diet leads to inflammation. Extra weight signals inflammation in the body.

Inflammation is the primary cause of disease and aging. Drinking just one soda every day for six months quadruples the level of inflammation in your body. That’s just 1 soda, think about what a diet filled with unhealthy foods does to your body.

Balancing Nutrition Is The Key

Too many people are eating ‘healthy’ but they are not eating in precise balance. They are grasping at straws, trying the latest diet trend but wind up frustrated because they can’t stick with it or they have some success but it’s not a realistic long term plan so they gain the weight back.

Many of my clients think they are eating in healthy balance but once they learn how that ‘healthy’ eating is actually making blood sugars go out of whack, the light bulb goes on and they experience the freedom from yo yo dieting.

On certain diets our bodies go into starvation and conservation mode which makes it difficult or impossible to lose weight and keep it off.

Clean eating is, of course, healthy but your diet must also be nutritionally balanced. Certain clean foods may contain excellent nutrients and antioxidants but they may also be high glycemic which means they will spike your blood sugar levels.

In order for your body to be in an environment to heal itself and release unwanted weight, you must balance blood sugar levels, manage insulin and have the proper ratio of protein, fiber, carbs and fat. Healthy fat, that is.

I know you’ve heard this a zillion times but that’s because it’s true — you need to be drinking enough water. I won’t go into the myriad of reasons your body needs proper hydration but I will say this: Fat breaks up into water and breath so staying hydrated and drinking enough water is key for fat burning. Yes, we breathe and pee that fat out of our bodies!

If you’re feeling sluggish, low energy or have extra weight you know you’re not as healthy as you’d like to be.

Putting It All Together To make It Work For You

It’s an innovative lifestyle approach designed for optimal health that gets your mind and body working together helping you adopt healthy habits that contribute to your long-term success. No pills, powders, or gimmicks.

It was developed by a Johns Hopkins physician; 12 clinical studies with Johns Hopkins University have been done proving the medical efficacy. But more impressive are the countless individuals that experience rapid weight loss, have enormous, lasting success and phenomenal health transformations, mitigating symptoms of disease and releasing unwanted weight after years of trying things that didn’t work long term.

This systematic approach that gives you complete balanced nutrition and gets your body to start burning fat for fuel rather than the sugars and carbohydrates that it typically goes for first so it’s optimal for losing weight. When your body starts going to its fat stores for an energy source not only do you burn fat but you also lose cravings, you’re not hungry, you have incredible energy and start feeling amazing.

It’s an easy program that brings quick results but it’s not a magic pill. There is no such thing. It’s a lifestyle for healthy habits. You have to make the committment to…

get healthy… fit into your favorite jeans… feel confident in a bathing suit… have the energy to play with your kids or grandkids… run that marathon,,, whatever you why is, you can have it. You need to make the decision to do it.
