About Us

We have been taught for decades that diets are the answer to your health problems. These body-starvation programs lead to poor mental health and maladaptive harmful behaviors. According to U.S. News and World Report, the average doctor spends only 19.6 hours learning about nutrition in eight years of study. Therefore, many overweight people find little help or sympathy from their trusted medical professionals. We advocate investing in a licensed dietician in order to personalize a nutrition plan for your specific needs and professional therapy rather than using food as a coping mechanism. 

The American culture of unsustainable dieting always leads to eating disorders. Using the scale for a measurement of success leads to maladaptive behaviors that are not normal and not healthy. They are very harmful. The psychological stress of starving your body and fighting your mind for control of your eating habits will make life miserable. Instead, we will teach you to listen to your body. A happy person full of light and peace will have better success over their health than a person who is stressed out with overly aggressive expectations. Energy and mood are affected by your body‘s response to hunger. Starvation diets not only fail but they can do permanent damage.

There are two scientific principles that go counterculture with fad dieting including Keto, Adkins, Paleo, Mediterranean, and Noom. The first principle is the fact that the relationship between your weight and your overall health is unclear. There are healthy fat people and unhealthy skinny people. An abundance of research suggests that it is far more complex of an issue than simply using a scale or BMI (Body Mass Index) guidelines. 

The second principle is that diets simply don’t work. The scientific community has known this for over fifty years, but the fitness industry is too large to fail, so diets are insanely and continuously perpetuated onto the unsuspecting public with less than a 5% success rate after five years.

We believe it's important to put health as a priority, both mental and physical rather than the scale or some cartoonish fantasy of your favorite athlete or actor. Realistic standards and a truly healthy goal will improve your spirit as well as your body.

So how do you get there? Why haven't your diets worked? It's not the exersize plan and it's not the diet plan. You can easily find any of those online. So what's the secret? We have that. Motivation is everything, and we know how to get you there. 

 So we believe in being positive, happy, accepted, and loved despite what other people may think. Body acceptance is not saying that unhealthy habits are good; it is accepting who you are as a person. It is not allowing people to devalue you because of how you look. It is giving you a foundation of value and validation so that you can grow as a person without feeling oppressed by the expectations of others. 

We will change your toxic relationship with food by teaching you to use it for fuel instead of an unhealthy coping mechanism. We will give you a new, healthy, balanced understanding of your beautiful, unique, and complex body. Health starts with the word “heal.” That is the first step of any health program, and it all starts with two words: Starting TODAY.
