Austin, TX · Coaching since 2001
Weight Loss Coach & Nutritionist in Austin, TX
You work hard. You eat well. The scale won't move. We've seen it in 900+ people. A body that's inflamed holds on to weight. So we calm it down first.
*Clients who complete the 8-Week Program. Inches measured at five sites: shoulders, back, navel, waist and hips.
The method
Clear the inflammation first. Then keep blood sugar steady.
Most plans start with less food and more cardio. It works for a bit. Then it stops. A tired, inflamed body has nothing left to give.
Why training harder can backfire
A good workout is inflammation on purpose. That's how you get fitter:
The catch: it only works if your body gets back to baseline between rounds. These keep it from getting there:
- 🍩 Sugar, alcohol and heavy, processed food
- 😴 Short sleep
- ☕ Big stimulants like coffee
Stack those up and your body never gets a break. So we bring you back to baseline first. Then your work counts.
Clear the inflammation
Week one is fruits and vegetables, and more food than you'd think. The big rule: don't get hungry.
Low glycemic plates
Plates built to keep blood sugar steady: protein, a small starch and vegetables, sized by your hand. No calorie counting.
- Week 1Clear the inflammation
- Week 2Low glycemic transition
- Week 3Fats and oils
- Week 4Movement
- Week 5Plateaus
- Week 6Grains and fiber
- Week 7Less stress
- Week 8Your new lifestyle
Why "eat less, move more" stalls
"Eat less, move more" isn't wrong. It's just too black and white. Both are stressors.
- 🔥 Sore for three days after a workout? You were probably going about 150%.
- ✅ We'd rather you recover in 24 to 36 hours and train again fresh.
- 🥦 And we stock up on nutrients before asking your body to run on less.
Real food. No calorie counting.
Anti-inflammatory, low glycemic plates our clients cook and post during the 8 weeks.
Where are you today?
Calm the inflammation, and more than your weight changes.
You've tried everything
Most plans start with a workout. We start with why your body is holding on: inflammation, blood sugar, stress and sleep.
How the program helps →What's really missing
Keto that made you feel sick. Whole30 that came right back. Calorie counting that stalled after a month.
It's usually not willpower. It's information: how much to eat, and how your body responds to food.
Coming off Ozempic or Wegovy
Weight often comes back when the shots stop and there's no plan. We help you build habits that keep your progress. Keep your doctor in the loop too.
How the program helps →How your meds fit in
- 💊 Your medication stays between you and your prescriber.
- 📋 We list and check every medication before any food advice.
- 🍗 Then we build your side: real protein, whole food, and stretching and training that keep your muscles working.
Blood sugar your doctor is watching
Plates built to keep blood sugar steady. Keep your doctor in the loop too.
How the program helps →How we build plates for steady blood sugar
- 📉 Low-glycemic plates from week 2
- 🚫 Processed and artificial sugars stay out
- 🍰 Dessert? The 3-bite rule: fewer bites, smaller rise
Habits that finally stick
Each week adds one new thing: a food group, then movement, then stress and sleep. You watch how your body reacts.
How the program helps →Why small habits win
Losing weight always feels like trying. The real question: miserable, or enjoyable?
- ➕ One new layer a week
- 🧱 Each habit settles before the next one arrives
- 🎯 Maintaining takes about 1% mindfulness

- Your body feels inflamed? We believe you. You live in it.
- When did you last feel your best? What were you doing then?
- Then you decide if you want accountability to get back there.

Each week adds one new thing: a food group, then movement, then stress and sleep. You watch how your body reacts.
When each layer comes in
- Week 1Clear the Inflammation. Lemon water instead of coffee. Fruits and veggies every 2 to 3 hours, half raw, half cooked. Real food, not juice. Stretching.
- Week 2Protein and a starch come in. Cardio at about half effort.
- Week 3Nuts and spritzed oil. Training at about 75%.

Week twelve

Did the habits hold on their own? Then you pick your next lane.
In eight weeks you'll weigh less. And you'll know which foods work for you.
How you become the scientist
Most plans hand you rules. We hand you an experiment.
- 🔬 Week 1 takes foods out. They come back one layer at a time.
- 📝 A reaction isn't a mistake. It's information.
- 🌾 Grains come back in week 6. Most people feel great or neutral.

Before your first call
Questions people ask
I've tried gyms, diets, even other coaches. Why would this work?
Most plans start with a workout. We start with why your body is holding on: inflammation, blood sugar, stress and sleep. Then we build your plan.
Why changing the order works
Same effort, different order.
- Weeks 1 and 2: back to baseline. Whole food, stretching, walking.
- Week 3 on: intensity comes back at your pace.
Counted calories and trained for a month with no change? Tweaking the same numbers usually isn't the answer. Trying something different is.
Do I have to give up the foods I love?
No. We change how and when you eat. Most people end up eating more real food, not less.
What comes out, and what comes back
- Out first☕ Coffee, then 🥛 dairy, then 🥩 red meat
- Back laterMany come back once things calm down
- Week 6🌾 Grains get tested
- Stays outProcessed sugar
- Dessert🍰 The 3-bite rule
Had the cake? We hope it was a really good one. 🎂
I'm coming off Ozempic or Wegovy. Can you help?
