Sound familiar?
You know what to do. Doing it every day is the hard part.
Most diets work for a few weeks. Then real life shows up.
- You lose weight, then it slowly comes back.
- Every diet feels like starting over from zero.
- You are tired all the time and not sure why.
- Busy days turn into drive thru dinners.
- You are doing everything "right" and the scale will not move.
You do not need more willpower. You need a plan built for your life and someone who helps you stick with it when it gets hard.
Small changes, done every week, beat big changes you cannot keep.

Make it yours
Over time the new habits become normal. You understand your body and know how to keep your results.
GLP-1 support
On a GLP-1? We help you keep the muscle and the results.
We do not prescribe GLP-1 medications. We help the people taking them do it well, while they are on the medication and after they come off.
A GLP-1 can take the weight off fast, but it does not teach you how to eat, and a big share of fast weight loss can be muscle. We work with a lot of clients on GLP-1s to protect their strength, eat well on a smaller appetite and build habits that hold when the medication stops.
- Eat right on a GLP-1Enough protein and the right foods when you are not hungry, without feeling sick.
- Keep your muscleStrength training with our personal trainers so the weight you lose is fat, not muscle.
- Plan for coming offA step by step plan for appetite, food and training so the weight stays off.
- Straight answersClear, honest information in a space full of mixed messages about weight loss and GLP-1s.

Read what they said
Amy, "Do you feel in control?" I feel very much in control. So doing many fad diets over the years, whether it's Weight Watchers or, I've done, you know, no dairy, no gluten, like all the different type of things, and I always felt like I could get to a certain point, but then I was like, "Well, I'm not gonna sustain this." So it's just it . Then I would just go back to it, and then I would gain whatever I had lost. And, it felt like yo-yoing. Content in the healthy whole foods that I'm eating, and that's where I know, like, this is sustainable. This is every day. This is the rest of my life.
Hannah, "What did tracking your food show you?" Having the app where I can just plug, what I've eaten into that is incredibly convenient. You can think that you're eating well, and I was eating pretty well overall, but then when you're actually plugging in, I had a holy crap moment. I was eating way more than I thought I was. So I could be in the gym and, like, working out for an hour, I'm doing strength training, I'm doing cardio. I wasn't at a calorie deficit to actually contribute to the weight loss. And so when I can adjust that accordingly, then I'm actually seeing the progress with weight loss, 'cause I'm actually at a calorie deficit.
Amanda, "What's changed outside the gym?" Yeah, I think all of those things. I definitely sleep better, no, no doubt there. I have, more energy, more endurance. the. My diet has, has changed. and even I think the last time I went to the, doctor for an annual physical, my health panel had significantly improved as well, and the only change I had made, was the exercise and the diet, changes from health coaching. So yeah, lots of improvements.
Laura, "How is your relationship with food?" So that's kind of a funny question for me because one thing that this process did for me with the health coaching is I'm now so routined. Like, I can tell you exactly what I'm gonna eat every day, and it actually has taken some, like, mental load off for me. And now I'm pretty regimented, and I mean that in a good way, right? Like, I food prep on Sundays. I know what I'm gonna eat. I enjoy what I'm gonna eat. in all honesty, I have . I enjoy eating, and I enjoy food a lot more. It's less of a, like, "I have to do this," and more of a, "Ooh, when's my next meal? I'm looking forward to that."

Questions
Health coaching questions, answered.
What people ask before they start.
Do you work with people taking GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy or Zepbound?
Yes. We do not prescribe them, but we work with a lot of clients who take them. We help you eat well on a smaller appetite, keep your muscle with strength training, and build a plan for when you come off so the results last.
What does a health coach actually do?
Your health coach helps you build habits around food, sleep, stress and movement, then checks in regularly to keep you accountable and adjust the plan as life changes.
Is this a diet?
No. There are no crash diets or banned foods. You learn what your body needs and build eating habits you can keep for years.
Can I use HSA or FSA funds for health coaching?
Many clients use HSA or FSA funds for health coaching. We go over everything in the discovery meeting.
Do I have to work out at your clinic?
No. Coaching works on its own. If you want to add strength training with our personal trainers, it is right here.
Can you help if I am postpartum?
Yes. Our health coaches work with moms after pregnancy, and our pelvic health physical therapists can help if your body needs more support.
I have tried everything. Why would this work?
Most plans fail because they do not fit real life and nobody checks in. Coaching is built around your life, with a health coach who helps you through the hard weeks.
Do you offer virtual health coaching?
Yes. Many check ins can happen by video, so coaching fits your schedule even when you cannot make it to Shirley.
