In every way 😉

A diet is designed to create immediate weight loss without regard to what you can sustain. We are the complete opposite. We go deep and tackle the specific issues that have kept you locked into weight gain.

1. It’s built to teach what you really need to learn. What that means is that after years of struggle and now, years of success, I identified all the parts you need to find lasting success and guide you through step-by-step.
2. It’s specific for web-based learning because, in order for changes to be stable, buildable, and enduring, they have to happen inside your life. You learn in your home, in your day-to-day, in your body, and in your relationships. This is a grounding approach because that’s what’s necessary for long-term success.
3. This program was developed by someone who has done it. You'll learn about losing weight without dieting tricks and crutches but more importantly, how you can keep it off. You can't find lasting success until facing all of these things, and this program is designed to put them in front of you.

Glad you asked. Just buying this program will not magically transform you. I appreciate the business of course, but am also invested in your long-term success.

As with any education, you'll get out of it what you put into it.

1. Be prepared to set aside time most days to read and watch the videos. We recommend 30 minutes, 5 days a week.
2. You'll be asked to do exercises and try new approaches to eating and movement. Be prepared to do so.
3. Come to group coaching as often as you can and make sure you meet with your partner once a week. 

This program isn't a simplistic diet you can do in 15 minutes a day and that's why it works (for a lifetime).

I often tell the story of the pivotal moment I gave up dieting to find lasting success with my weight. While that's true, the real story is a little deeper.

Twenty years of listening to half-baked plans and incomplete science with nothing to show for it but confusion and an uncomfortable body was enough. I couldn't see the way forward but I knew where I'd been would keep me stuck and sad.

So, I turned entirely away from the health and wellness industry and began gleaning important ideas from thinkers from all walks of life.

I started reading about how to properly nourish myself from ancestral wisdom. I looked at what science had to say about food and mental health. I took a Buddhist approach to observe my inner dialog. I cultivated peace to fuel everyday movement. I learned how to be kind to myself in practical terms, and the power of that approach in steady self-care.

I listened to smart people from all walks of life and took that knowledge to create a stable, healthy weight. I actively disregarded anything remotely faddish, in the wellness sphere or attached to someone selling a diet.

Over the years of maintaining the loss, I made a careful study of my own success and identified the key changes that need to be made. Many will surprise you.

Five years into my own weight mastery I began to write about my approach, and a decade later I built this program.

It's my honor to see others out of weight anxiety and into a life of weight mastery.

What that means in the context of not another diet is that we teach you to build a system that provides daily support for achieving and maintaining a healthy weight. It does not mean some sort of miracle 'solution' that prevents you from ever gaining weight again. If anyone tries to offer you that, run! 

If you deviate from the life/system/tools you build for yourself, you could regain the weight. The goal is to create practices that feel so organic and workable they become how you conduct your life. 

If you've ever wondered what does it take to lose weight and keep it off?

This program will show you how.

Once you’ve paid for the course, you’re committed. Your money secures your commitment and clarifies the work you’re willing to do.

Please read through this website, watch the videos, browse my Medium publication (link in header), and proceed when you feel a visceral yes.

A clear path to a stable, healthy weight.

The nuts and bolts:

• A 9-week program carefully designed to address all the aspects of your life, thinking, and habits so that you can finally address what's been missing from your past efforts.
• One full year of access to the course itself so that you can refresh and deepen the lessons as needed.
• A community forum to discuss issues with other members, share successes, and get help with challenges.
• Weekly group coaching on Zooms that focus on questions and various topics. 
• Email support for quick answers and technical issues.

What you really get: clarity about what works and a system you can rely on indefinitely to achieve and maintain a healthy weight.

Not at all. It’s for anyone who struggles to maintain a healthy weight.

It's just as painful to be constantly battling the same 10 or 20 pounds. If you toggle between cycles of restriction and letting it all go, this program can help you out of those damaging cycles.

If you’ve slowly gained 50 and it’s now intolerable, this program is also for you.

These are not different problems. They reflect a lack of knowledge about what it takes to stay at a calm, steady pace of living that allows for a healthy weight, naturally.

That's what we teach.

There isn’t and that’s by design.
You don’t need an eating plan, you need a way of eating rooted in simplicity. We certainly address food in the course in all sorts of ways, but no one, including me, can hand you one you’ll follow the rest of your life.

The question itself reveals how deeply we’ve inhaled what mass-produced diets sell. Eating healthfully isn’t complicated, navigating a world full of obesogenic food is.
This program teaches you how.

So you can stop wondering and searching. There is intense confusion around achieving and keeping a healthy weight. Much of that has to do with the fire hose of terrible information out there. Part of what happens through this process is de-programming, then guiding through what will actually change your circumstance.

So you can live in peace. You’ll walk away with clarity about what it means to nourish yourself, how to create a movement practice that creates real fitness gains without hurting yourself, and how to tap into emotional regulation so you can ask for what you need. It may sound old-fashioned, but it works.

So you can live out the fuller version of your life. Frittering away precious time worrying about your weight is no way to live.

But, you knew that.
