Vivi
“I used to have a lot of stomach pain but it went away just by increasing the protein in my diet. I have made a peace with food and I’m getting stronger. I used to be able to do one chin-up but now I can do three. I have also learned that making a lifestyle change doesn’t have to be hard.”
Lesley
Goals and Obstacles: After struggling to recover fully from Covid, Lesley´s normal fitness goals were suddenly felt totally unattainable – at one point she was struggling to stand long enough to wash her hair. She reached out to me in October 2021 to take a more holistic approach back to full health.
Results: A full return to full health, and building past where she was before covid with new levels of strength, energy and fitness (as measured with fitness and strength testing such as grip strength, aerobic (estimated VO2max) testing and body composition.
““Since starting I’ve experienced a lot of improvements which have built up over time. Today, I’m able to take my dog on camping trips, dance the night away with my friends, and play football with my family’s kids. My biggest milestone so far was a solo trip to the southern French coast where I hiked about 60km each day. The scenery was absolutely spectacular and so was the food (I ate dinner in a cheese cave)! “ ”
