REBOOT

I went into this program with not much energy, feeling tired a lot. With implementing habits of hydration, working on digestion, better managing blood sugar, incorporating more vegetables and just focusing on nourishing foods I have more energy! No longer feeling so tired especially in the afternoon! I enjoyed learning about the different topics covered to learn more about how the body functions and how I could learn to adapt to improve my body's functions.

My experience with Restart was extremely rewarding. I gained a strong understanding of how food plays a key role in our body’s performance. I had sustained energy throughout the day, reduced joint pain, and improved mood. I recommend this program to anyone who wants to take their health seriously and create a better lifestyle.

I took the Restart Class with Marissa as a means to gain a deeper learning of the impact ingredients, particularly sugar, has in food related to my body. I took the class in conjunction with a dedicated fitness program. My mind and body changed pretty significantly over the course of the program as I learned more about healthy eating. I have stuck with the program with minor exceptions since it concluded. Highly recommend if you want to start new habits, kick old ones and focus on your health through the food we consume.

The program was awesome. Thank you for letting me be a part of it. Successes included lost weight and more comfortable in my own skin; speaking of skin, my complexion is glowing; a newfound awareness of how I was mindlessly snacking and putting crap into my body; more energy and motivation (wasn't even napping anymore); better sleep; more conscious about what I am eating and portions; change in cravings/desired food; and reduced joint pain. When this all started, I planned out all the food I was going to eat my birthday weekend to celebrate but for also "surviving" the challenge. Cheese, charcuterie, penne with vodka sauce, cake, you name it...I was eating it. I wanted it all. But then the weekend came, and to be honest I wasn't looking forward to it/craving it all as much as I had at the beginning. I thought it was going to be this massive glorious feast ... but instead I just felt like poopy after eating. Not sure it was worth it. Yes, I did end the challenge at day 20 in order to indulge, but I found myself excited for all the indulging to be done and get back on track this week. I had some tummy issues at the end of the challenge so I'm trying to figure out what that was. I'm overall making better decisions and living a more comfortable and enjoyable life. Thanks so much for all the knowledge. What you put together is so beneficial and life-changing.

With the Fuel Your Balance program, everything clicked for me. The choices I want to make for me and my family are clear and sustainable. Throughout the program my family and I found that nutritionally balanced meals can be flavorful and delicious. It’s about making intentional choices and small changes that result in big differences. We felt more energy, more satisfied and less bloat while never feeling restricted. Marissa is an amazing coach through the whole process and I highly recommend her and this program to anyone wanting to make a lasting, positive change for their life.

First off, I feel amazing! My starting score was a 38 and ended at 10! My biggest differences were many of my 3/4s are now 0/1s. I feel so much more comfortable, more energy, less headaches, less bloat and my acne cleared up significantly. I definitely learned the importance of having healthy whole snacks / treats available so I don’t throw in the towel and overindulge. For example, I was craving sweets over the weekends so made a ton of date/cacao/almond/egg white and sea salt bites yesterday and froze them to treat myself without building back up my obsession with sugar, but also not feeling like I’m limiting or myself or dieting! I also really enjoyed learning that getting rid of bloat doesn’t have to mean feeling hungry or being in a significant calorie deficit, but can be achieved simply by eating well. Lastly, many meal plans I have followed in the past had such a focus on very low amounts of fat intake so it was interesting to try a new approach and enjoy those healthy fats in my meals (daily poached eggs instead of egg whites was huge for me ??) Overall I really enjoyed learning about how I can adjust my eating habits as well as my family’s and see the effects it has on our overall well being! Thank you Marissa!
