I started with Shannan because I have tried ALL the things and my next step would have been gastric bypass, which I do not want to do. The accountability that I get from Shannan is amazing and what keeps me going day to day. I don’t feel restricted, deprived and not constantly counting points/calories anymore and it’s very freeing, something I feel I can do lifelong. Is it always easy, no, but if losing weight was easy, we all would be where we want to be. It takes work and the mindset to do it but if you are willing, this is the best plan I’ve done sofar.

I learned a lot about the difference between what my brain was telling me to do and how to make a change in those behaviors for my future self!  It is a full body, mind, and lifestyle learning model. I lost the weight I thought I never could, and learned how to live a healthy lifestyle!  It was like I had a friend to go with on my life journey!

After years of unanswered questions, tests, and inaccurate conclusions, my doctor finally diagnosed me with Lupus in January 2023. With this came a long list of medications that would be required to suppress my disease, as well as my immune system. Not only did I not want to be subject to the long list of side effects these drugs potentially had, I knew that there had to be a better way to control this disease by simply making changes to my lifestyle. I couldn’t have done it without Shannan! Her weekly sessions equipped me with the tools, expertise, and plan to learn the basics of how to provide the proper nutrition, movement, and attitude towards feeling the best I’ve felt in years.

Week after week, Shannan provided sound advice & strong tools. She also asked intriguing questions, then listened intently for the purpose of expanding and tailoring our next session to my precise needs. I finished with tangible skills that continue to move me forward. I now possess abundant resources that encourage me to make wise, healthy decisions.
