We’ve both dealt with pressing health, nutrition, and body issues.
Courtney (left), as a teen, had a tough relationship with food.
She went through bouts of anorexia and bulimia.
She restricted calories and had eating disorders.
Was under-eating and over-exercising.
Her self-image and self-talk were destructive.
And most of her actions came from trying to “not hate her body”.
She spent much of her youth like this…
Until, in 2010, she started a healing journey.
Her first step was a 10-month certification.
In this step, she learned about nutrition, health, and mindset.
With this new knowledge…
She realized many of the things she did were not only harmful…
But don’t help you lose weight either.
She studied nutrition, meditation, breathwork, and self-improvement.
I’m a first generation American with two Cuban immigrant parents.
(You’ll see why that fact is important to your health later in this guide.)
I grew up a little overweight and got bullied in middle school for that.
This led me to pursue diets since I was very young…
I tried shake diets, calorie-restricted diets, diets with fancy names.
And I did get some results from time to time…
I remember looking at the mirror after months of going without sugar or foods I loved…
Feeling like this time I did it!!
Just to have the restriction kick me in the face, mindlessly dive into the foods I’ve been thinking about almost all day, and have my weight get back up.
I wanted to shift this and over the years I learned about nutrition, fitness, and health.
I knew there had to be a better way.
Eventually I got a hold of it…
I started to lose weight sustainably (meaning my weight didn’t fly back up).
And not only that, I did the “inner work”. I shifted my thoughts, emotions, and my relationship with food.
I did this not only so the results could stick…
But also so I could be happy in the process!
Which for me, was the most important thing.
I mean, what’s the point of doing something if it feels like a drag and you won’t be happy about it, right?
So when Courtney and I met, and we exchanged our stories, we knew that we had a gift to share with others. Not because of the fancy credentials that we have, but because we have been in your shoes!
Now we're on a mission to give women hope and restore their lives, to help them get the physical results they want with a plan that fits THEIR life, and bring back their happiness and freedom in the process.
