Three major differences:

1. I'm a registered pharmacist with 25+ years of experience. I can review your medications and identify if they're blocking weight loss, then work with your doctor to optimize them. 99% of health coaches can't do this.

2. I focus on hormones FIRST, calories second. We balance insulin, cortisol, and thyroid before restricting anything. When hormones are balanced, weight loss happens naturally without extreme measures.

3. I've lived it myself. At 50, I experienced menopause weight gain firsthand. I used the exact approach I now teach to lose 14 pounds and restore my energy. This isn't theory it's what actually works.

Absolutely not. I don't believe in rigid meal plans or restriction.

Instead, we create a flexible nutrition strategy based on YOUR preferences, schedule, and lifestyle. You'll know what to eat, when to eat it, and why but you'll have freedom and flexibility.

No calorie counting. Smart, sustainable eating that works for real life.

That's exactly my specialty.

Most of my clients come to me after years of failed diets, extreme workouts, and mounting frustration. Here's the thing: if traditional approaches worked, you'd already be at your goal.

We find the ROOT CAUSE usually hormones (insulin resistance, thyroid issues, cortisol dysfunction), medications that block weight loss, or hidden inflammation and fix THAT. Once the root cause is addressed, your body can finally release stored weight.

You're not broken. Your previous approaches were just treating symptoms, not causes.

Most clients notice changes within the first 2-4 weeks:
- More energy and better sleep (often in week 1-2)
- Reduced cravings and less bloating (week 2-3)
- Clothes fitting better (week 3-4)
- Scale movement (typically week 3-4)

Sustainable weight loss: Most clients lose 10-20 pounds in 3-6 months about .5-1 pound per week consistently.

This isn't a quick fix. It's a lasting transformation. Slow and steady wins the race when it comes to keeping weight off permanently.

Yes! In fact, this is one of my specialties.

As a registered pharmacist, I understand medication interactions, side effects, and how prescriptions affect weight loss. I can:
- Review your current medications
- Identify which ones might be causing weight gain or blocking fat loss
- Collaborate with your doctor to find alternatives or adjust dosages
- Work around medications that can't be changed

Many of my clients are on blood pressure meds, antidepressants, thyroid medication, metformin, or hormone replacement therapy. I know how to optimize your plan while you're taking these medications.

In your free 15-minute clarity call, we'll:
✓ Discuss your health history and current symptoms
✓ Talk about your goals and what success looks like for you
✓ Determine if we're a good fit to work together

No sales pitch. No pressure. Just honest, helpful guidance.

My monthly coaching investment is $399/month

This includes:
- Weekly 1-on-1 coaching sessions (45-60 minutes)
- Complete medication review and analysis
- Personalized nutrition and lifestyle review
- Text/email support between sessions
- Progress tracking and plan adjustments
- Collaboration with your doctors if needed

I recommend 3-6 months for lasting transformation. Many clients continue beyond 6 months because they value the ongoing support and accountability.

It's highly recommended but not required.

Functional lab testing gives us invaluable data about your hormones, metabolism, nutrient levels, and inflammation markers. It takes the guesswork out and allows us to create a truly customized plan.

However, if you have recent lab work from your doctor, we can start with that. Additional testing can be ordered as we go if needed.

I can order labs through my affiliate partners (Ulta Lab Tests, Superpower, etc.) and will help you interpret the results in plain English.

Health coaching services are not typically covered by insurance. However:

✓ Many clients use HSA/FSA funds to pay for coaching (check with your plan)
✓ I can provide detailed receipts/superbills for you to submit for possible reimbursement

Think of this as an investment in preventing future health problems and medications which saves money (and your health) in the long run.

I'm based in Dripping Springs, Texas, but I work with clients nationwide via video calls on a HIPPA compliant health platform.

Virtual coaching is just as effective as in-person and more convenient! You can meet with me from the comfort of your home, no commute required.

Yes! I work with clients at all stages of their health journey.

Whether you have 10 pounds to lose or 100+ pounds, the approach is the same: identify the root cause (hormones, medications, inflammation, stress) and address it systematically.

Sustainable weight loss happens at 0.5-1 pound per week on average. If you have significant weight to lose, we'll create a realistic timeline and celebrate milestones along the way. You may be a candidate for GLP1's.

The goal isn't just weight loss it's transforming your metabolic health so the weight stays off permanently.

Absolutely! This is one of my core specialties.

Menopause related weight gain is driven by hormone changes specifically declining estrogen, insulin resistance, and cortisol dysfunction. Standard "eat less, move more" advice doesn't work because it ignores the hormonal root cause.

My approach specifically addresses:
✓ Insulin resistance (the #1 driver of midlife weight gain)
✓ Cortisol imbalance (stress and sleep issues)
✓ Thyroid optimization (often overlooked)
✓ Estrogen/progesterone balance (if appropriate)
✓ Muscle preservation (critical after 40)

I've personally navigated menopause at 50, so I understand what you're experiencing firsthand.

No problem! Many of my clients are busy professionals, parents, or caregivers.

We create a plan that fits YOUR real life:
- Simple meals that take 15-30 minutes
- Strategies for eating out or grabbing food on-the-go
- Batch cooking and meal prep shortcuts (if you want them)
- How to make better choices when you don't have time to cook

You don't need to become a chef or spend hours in the kitchen. We work with your current lifestyle, not against it.

Exercise helps, but it's not the main driver of weight loss (hormones are).

I recommend moderate movement that you actually enjoy:
- Walking 30 minutes most days
- Strength training 2-3x per week (even just 20 minutes)
- Activities that reduce stress (yoga, stretching, etc.)

You won't need to spend hours at the gym or do extreme workouts. Movement should feel good, not punishing.

If you're currently sedentary, we'll start with small, manageable steps and build from there.

I work with clients who have various health conditions, and my pharmaceutical background is especially valuable here.

I can help you:
✓ Understand how your condition affects weight loss
✓ Optimize medications in collaboration with your doctor
✓ Create a safe, appropriate plan for your specific situation
✓ Navigate dietary restrictions or medical considerations
✓ Track relevant health markers beyond just weight

I can work alongside your medical team not replacing them. Your safety and health come first.

The real goal isn't just reaching a number it's maintaining it for life.

By the time you hit your goal weight, you'll have:
✓ Sustainable eating habits (not restrictive rules)
✓ Balanced hormones
✓ Understanding of YOUR body's needs
✓ Tools to navigate challenges (stress, vacations, holidays)
✓ Confidence in your food choices

Many clients continue with monthly maintenance coaching (less frequent check-ins) to stay accountable and optimize other health goals. Others transition to independence with the option to reconnect if needed.

You'll never be left wondering "what now?"

Yes! I offer couples coaching where you both participate.

This works especially well because:
✓ You're both making changes together (mutual support)
✓ One household meal plan (easier than cooking separately)
✓ Shared accountability
✓ Often saves money (couples rate available)

We can discuss couples coaching options during your free consultation.

Life happens, I get it!

You can reschedule sessions with 24-hour notice. Missed sessions without notice may be forfeited (depending on your coaching package).

We'll discuss scheduling policies and expectations during onboarding so there are no surprises.

Great question! We're likely a good fit if you:

✅ Are committed to making real, lasting changes (not just a quick fix)
✅ Are willing to be honest and vulnerable about your struggles
✅ Are open to trying new approaches (even if past experiences make you skeptical)
✅ Are ready to invest in yourself (time, money, effort)
✅ Want a partner and guide, not someone to tell you what to do
✅ Are looking for sustainable transformation, not perfection

We're probably NOT a good fit if you:
❌ Want a magic pill or quick fix
❌ Aren't willing to make any changes to your current habits
❌ Just want a meal plan and no coaching support
❌ Are seeking therapy or crisis mental health care
