Imagine being at peace with your body and maintaining a healthy weight with ease.

I get it. You’ve been battling your body for years, if not most of your life, and you’re exhausted. You’ve tried every diet out there and can’t figure out how to get your body to respond. The weight keeps adding up and you just can’t force it to budge, at least not for long. It feels like your body is broken and you’re doomed to be overweight and tired for the rest of your life. You keep hearing that it’s “normal” to experience this as you age, but you aren’t ready to accept this as your new normal.

When healthy eating and movement aren’t enough, that’s a very good indication there are excess stressors that need to be removed. Chronic stress is the number one cause for diminished metabolism and increased fat gain, and most weight loss programs actually make matters worse in the long run.

“But Shannon, I’m not stressed out at all. I actually manage my stress really well.” I know, I hear you. The thing is, stress is so much more than just feeling frazzled, and there are countless things that could be happening inside your body that you’re completely unaware of that are keeping it stuck in a state of stress.

Stress is simply anything that creates an energy demand by the body that’s greater than what metabolism can produce in that moment. Inflammation, blood sugar dysregulation, poor detoxification and hidden infections are several examples of hidden stressors that can be keeping your body stuck in a state of low metabolic function and excess fat storage. Other downstream effects of poor metabolic function are hormonal imbalance, low thyroid function, immune dysregulation, food sensitivities, and more.

The real reasons you can’t lose weight:

1. Mineral imbalances and nutrient deficiencies

2. Poor gut + digestive health

3. Poor body image & an unhealthy relationship with food

Mineral imbalances, gut dysfunction and poor body image are all often exacerbated by deprivation diets and they create a heavy burden of unrelenting stress on the body, which sets the foundation for poor metabolic function.

In this 4 month one-on-one coaching program, you’ll finally address the root cause of your excess fat gain. You’ll utilize functional testing to see exactly what’s going in inside your body so you can find your weak spots and plug them back up. Repairing mineral deficiencies and gut imbalances, and calming inflammation will optimize energy production in the body so it can finally stop storing it as fat. You’ll learn to nourish yourself, physically and emotionally, back to a state of balance so the body has the ability to heal itself.

No more calorie deprivation. No more punishing workouts. No more exhausting battles against your own body.

Imagine…

Maintaining a healthy weight with ease.

Breaking free of the constant battle against your body and creating a peaceful relationship with yourself and food.

Gaining control over your own wellness and transforming your body through loving nourishment rather than punishment.

That’s exactly what this program will help you achieve.

You’ll finally stop obsessing about food and feel confident, vibrant, and free to utilize your energy on things that are more fulfilling for you.

I believe we all have a meaningful purpose for our lives, and spending our energy fighting our bodies just isn’t it.

  • You’re a woman who’s tired of obsessing about food and weight.

    You’ve been dieting on and off for years but haven’t found a long term solution that works. You’re done with “quick fixes” and “magic pills” and are ready to spend more time on a lifelong solution.

    You have hormonal imbalances, blood sugar dysregulation and/ or uncontrollable cravings.

    Your body has changed and you feel like you have no control over it (and you’ve probably been told it’s just “normal” because you’re older.)

    Your own body has become your worst enemy and it’s holding you back from accomplishing things that really matter to you.

    You’re ready to address your weight and body challenges, emotional eating and your unhealthy relationship with food through alignment and nourishment rather than deprivation and punishment.

    Suitable for in-person or remote clients.

  • You want to lose a specific amount of weight in a certain amount of time.

    You’re hoping to achieve a level of leanness that may not be healthy for you.

    You aren’t ready to work on changing unhealthy behaviors.

    If you’re committed to only plant based eating, you can still participate in this program, but I personally promote animal protein for supporting health and metabolic function.

    If you’re a man. While the tools in this program will help a man’s body to heal, it also includes mind/body practices that are geared to healing feminine energy. The Men’s Wellness program was created with the guys in mind.

  • $1200 (paid in full) or 4 automatic monthly payments of $350

    * Cost includes HTMA test
    *GI MAP test will cost an additional fee which you will pay directly to the lab. Price varies based on your location, but you can expect to pay about $389 (for US residents)

  • To get started, schedule an onboarding call. This allows you to ask questions and gives me a chance to understand your specific challenges to ensure this program is a good fit for you.

    Once you sign up, I’ll create an account for you in Biocanic, my client management software. This is where all of our communication will happen and you’ll access your online learning materials. You’ll have some intake forms to fill out there and will work through a few Welcome lessons before our intake session.

    You’ll work through one online lesson each week and we’ll meet up every other week to check in on your progress.

    During that time, you’ll be submitting your functional lab tests and as soon as I have your lab test results, you’ll schedule your Results and Recommendations session for more individualized suggestions.

  • This is a habit based program designed to help you take actions that allow your body to return to a healthier metabolic state. When the metabolism improves and energy is increased, the body will utilize that energy in the way it best sees fit. This may mean improved immune function for one, and balanced hormones for another. As energy continues to increase, more symptoms tend to diminish.

    Excess fat storage is usually not one of the first symptoms to improve in a healing body. Often, weight loss begins happening after the body has healed enough in other areas that it feels “safe” enough to release the weight, which is often a protective mechanism.

    For these reasons, I can’t make any guarantees about how your body will respond as it heals and what changes you will experience.

    I also have no control over how much action you take in this program. This program gives you all the tools you need, but you still have to commit to using those tools and doing the work yourself.

    As I can’t guarantee the results you’ll achieve, I also can’t offer a money back guarantee. The purchase you’re making is not for a specific result, but is for access to the learning materials, access to the functional lab tests and our time together.

  • Nutrition and lifestyle factors are the most important contributors to healing, as you simply can’t “out supplement” poor habits in those areas. I will suggest supplements, however, that may help support and speed up your healing process, filling in gaps for you that food alone can’t fill and targeting specific imbalances.

    While supplements can be very supportive, none are ever required. You are in charge of your healing journey and I simply provide you with education so you can be empowered to make the choices you feel are best for you.

    Depending on specific healing needs, clients typically pay between $150-300 per month for supplements. I always tailor recommendations to suit your preference of prioritizing money or convenience to help you find a solution that’s best for you.

    As a convenience to you, I also provide you with access to 20% off clinical grade supplements through Fullscript, but you are never required to purchase anything.
