I needed a change. And I needed help finding a healthy way to do it and make it a lifestyle habit…read more Chelsea to the rescue!
My why: I wasn't obese, but I definitely wasn't skinny. We all WANT to lose weight, but it's another thing setting that plan into action and sticking with it. The biggest thing that set those plans into action for me was the results I got from my doctor. My a1c levels were high, and I was diagnosed as prediabetic. After seeing my father's health decline due to his Type II diabetes and eventually pass from this and other health issues, I KNEW I needed a change. I also don't have kids, and I have been diagnosed as having PCOS which would make it difficult if we did want kids. So, the PCOS and prevention of Type II diabetes were the biggest reasons for me to change for my future and my FAMILY.
I reached out to Chelsea in the beginning of February. She was quick to respond and so friendly. We had a phone conversation about my goals and a little bit about what her program was about, how it worked, why she got into doing what she does, and the options I could do if I chose to have her as my health consultant. This consultation is FREE and I never felt pressure to sign up for anything. It was just honest, genuine information, and she already made me feel so comfortable talking with her.
We chose a program for me based on my needs and my finances. I won't go into details, but I'll just let you guys know that she makes everything so easy to follow and really works on changing your mindset (not just your diet). She doesn't just tell you to eat this or eat that; she asks you to ask yourself, WHY do you eat the things you do. What situations have what types of effects on you, on hunger, on your stress levels? She goes so much deeper than a nutritionist would, and I honestly can say that her results for my life will last longer than ANY diet I would ever try. This is because I view food in a totally different manner now. Because of Chelsea, I have not changed my diet, I have changed my outlook and feelings of and towards food and what they mean in my life.
It is a wholesome change. She doesn't just focus on food. She focuses on many things in life including food, stress, happiness, sleep, family...and much more. She has led me to the right sleep schedules, eating schedules, what to eat and drink, what supplements could help me, even what books and documentaries would interest me. Literally, she has been such a huge part of my life, even post-program.
As for my results, I have lost over 20 pounds. I lost maybe 7 pounds during the time of the program with Chelsea, but I continued to lose after the program ended because my lifestyle was changed and the weight kept coming off. The 20+ pounds lost has been over the course of 3 months. I've been losing a bit more than 5lbs per month without trying hard now because of the things I learned from Chelsea. It's crazy because I don't feel like I made huge sacrifices in life, or was deprived of anything on a diet. I feel like I gained SO much knowledge, I was constantly listening to hunger and eating the right foods my body needs as fuel. I'm still using all the tools Chelsea gave to me during her program, even without realizing it because it was easy to follow and has become part of my regular lifestyle.
I never met Chelsea in person, only through our FaceTime meetings, yet I always felt so comfortable talking with her. The sessions seem to go by fast, because it's like you're talking with a friend who is SUPER knowledgable about everything health related!
I highly recommend her if you are looking for a change in your life and want to be happier and healthier--she definitely turned my life around.
