FAQs

WILL I NEED TO BUY A BUNCH OF SUPPLEMENTS?

There are no other required costs or fees inside RESTORE (although you may be required to pay a fee for your continuous glucose monitors through your pharmacy or online). We will definitely discuss a unique supplement plan to you, because they can often speed up results, but they are never required. As an aside, you get a lifetime 20% discount on supplements (or for as long as my online pharmacy is in business!)

DO YOU OFFER CUSTOM MEAL PLANS AND WORKOUT PLANS?

We now offer custom meal plans designed for your unique metabolic needs! While the goal inside RESTORE is not to make you dependent on a meal plan, we realize that having some structure, especially in the beginning, can be the difference between success and failure. Meal plans are designed for participants during our group sessions.

We will work together to create a custom movement plan, and I will direct you to the resources that I believe are safest and most effective. I always recommend you seek the support of a certified personal trainer for support in creating your unique strength training plan.

WHAT DOES HYBRID MEAN?

"HYBRID" refers to the fact that this program offers the high-level customization that you can only get from 1-on-1 time with a trained professional, plus the support, accountability and FUN that you can only get from a likeminded community.

WHAT'S YOUR BACKGROUND?

I am a trained Naturopathic Doctor and Acupuncturist. I'm licensed for Naturopathic Medicine in WA and AZ. While we will meet 1-on-1 inside of RESTORE for our wellness consultations, it is important that you understand that your participation inside RESTORE does not constitute a doctor-patient relationship with me.

WHAT ARE THE ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE LAB PACKAGES?

My Health Optimizer Packages are available as additional investments to RESTORE participants who desire a deeper dive into their unique health concerns. Each package includes a functional medicine test plus additional 1 on 1 time with me to co-create an individualized plan based on what we find.

Available packages include the Hormone Optimizer Package; the Microbiome Optimizer Package; the Detox Optimizer Package; the Metabolism Optimizer Package.

CAN I WORK WITH YOU 1 ON 1?

Yes! I have a high level elite offer available for women who are ready to dive deep into their personal health, wellness and weight loss journey at a deeper level. This investment includes comprehensive functional medicine testing, biohacking tools, and unlimited 1 on 1 access to me.

DO YOU OFFER A REFUND?

Because of the intensive amount of time and wealth of knowledge I make available to you from the moment you enter RESTORE, I do not offer refunds. However, if at any time you feel you are struggling, unsure, or need support, you have at your fingertips an arsenal of support: group sessions, group chat, or you can email me to let me know you need some help. Often, things feel darkest before the dawn and this is just a sign that you need some support to push on, NOT that it's time to give up!

SOUNDS GREAT, BUT...

NOW'S NOT THE RIGHT TIME/I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH TIME RIGHT NOW

I hear you, time is your most precious resource! But if not now, when? How much more of your precious time can you afford to spend in a body you don't love?

And most importantly, what will your body + life look like in five months if you choose YOU now?

What will your life look like in five months if you don’t do anything different?

Trust me, as a program facilitator, mom, doctor, + burnout survivor I know the value of time. While RESTORE is packed with amazing wisdom and resources, it's also designed to be whittled down to the bare essentials of what you need, without overwhelming your already busting-at-the-seams schedule. Take what you need, leave the rest (we'll figure that out together!).

Now, the beginning of the program will ask a lot of you as you navigate getting set up, adjusting your diet and movement and building out the essential pieces for lifelong weight loss. That's where we come in - you have unparalleled access to a group of women who are doing it too, and ready to help and support you.

Remember, it’s my job to set you up for success. It’s your job to do your best.

I DON'T HAVE THE BANDWIDTH RIGHT NOW

Overwhelm, right? I get it! That’s why I’ve designed RESTORE to take all the thinking off your plate, so you can focus on executing your weight loss plan.

Clearly, change will be necessary. But overwhelm is not.

Let me do the heavy lifting for you, so you can focus on what really matters: YOU.

MONEY'S TIGHT RIGHT NOW

I hope that someday we’ll live in a world with greater access to exceptional wellness services. Today, the best must charge for their time and expertise to provide you the expertise and plan you really deserve.

Money is a renewable resource. Time is not. When we spend our money wisely the returns are tenfold.

What is the cost to you of doing nothing, vs. the reward of getting your energy and your life back, and losing the weight for good?

WILL THIS WORK FOR ME?

If you're ready to lose weight for good, and you're okay with doing the work of changing your diet and lifestyle to hit your goal, then you are in the best place possible to see the results you crave. The women who are losing weight, like "Anonymous," "Maria," "Amanda", and "Gina," are the ones who are following their plan and engaging with the program. While I cannot make any blanket claims or statements, I will tell you that we get out of things what we put into them.

Change happens when we make changes. As long as you are ready to take control of how you look and feel now, set a weight loss goal and then do the work, the process works!

I NEED TO (TALK TO MY PARTNER/MEDITATE ON IT, ETC.)

I absolutely understand the need to feel complete in your decision to move forward. (And I'll never tell you NOT to meditate!). With that being said, the first step is always deciding.

Nothing happens until you decide to make it happen. You have to choose you first. Once you decide to bet on yourself, the universe opens doors to make that happen for you.

I want you to be all in and 100% invested when we meet. But spending too much time in indecision robs you of the time you could be changing your life. Don’t let other things be more important than your health, your happiness and your life.

I'VE ALREADY INVESTED IN OTHER WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAMS AND NOTHING HAS CHANGED

Yikes! I'm so sorry to hear that. The unfortunate truth is that you are not alone here.

Often, weight loss programs fail, or they offer temporary success followed by rebound weight gain, because they are not sustainable. You cannot live your life on a highly restrictive diet, constantly afraid of your favorite foods (as one woman I spoke with said, "since I've done the __________ program, I sniff food and gain weight.")

Other programs are based on intense exercise programs that are energetically + physically demanding, and require hours of time + access to specialized equipment. Also not usually sustainable.

That's why RESTORE is a 5 month program - so we can be generous in our time together and implement the changes that work over time, without the shock and trauma of starvation diets or intense workouts.

I want you to connect with your own inner power inside RESTORE, and to feel successful and strong and beautiful. The best way to do that is by creating a plan of sustainable steps that may take a bit longer than a starvation diet, but gives you results that are MUCH more likely to stick around.

I'M NOT READY TO GIVE UP MY (GLUTEN, DAIRY, WINE, COFFEE, ETC.!)

Believe me, I know the value of daily comforts.

The process of healing requires letting go of some things for a time. But when we make these changes with science and strategy behind us, combined with a whole lot of support, your health can improve + the numbers on the scale can drop dramatically within a short period of time.

I’ve spoken with many women who’ve put off losing weight because, even though they knew they'd do better in a group, they were afraid that they would be shamed for their comforts. I hold a 100% judgment free zone, and my only desire is to help you love yourself + lose the weight. There is absolutely no judgment, no shaming, no guilt allowed.

I’m not a purist. This program is all about getting you to a place where you can thrive in our modern world. Where you love your life and live your purpose every
single
day.
