"I started the process as a frustrated, lost, and confused person in terms of my nutrition. Throughout the 8 weeks, my mindset has completely shifted, and so has my confidence in my nutrition. I am now planning ahead, mindfully eating, and enjoying my life. I have learned how to calculate macros and how to use flex days to fit with my lifestyle. The program has given me control back in my life, along with feelings of accomplishment. Thank you to the coaches, you guys have truly given me so much more than 8 weeks of lessons, but rather a better lifestyle and lifelong values in terms of nutrition!" - Breanne Spence
"My results are a direct reflection of how well this program is put together and delivered" - Rian Cory
"Being consistent in all areas of nutrition is the most sustainable way to have a healthy relationship with food. I’ve learned lots of tips and tricks about food prep, food choices, and how my mindset affects my choices. I feel good and will continue on my path of being consistent." - Heather Carruthers
"My attitude, relationship, and how I feel towards food has all changed. You are all different and amazing teachers! Thank you for sharing your knowledge & passion with me!" - Lind Luby
"My whole relationship with food has been changed forever. I'm so happy I decided to take this course." - Kellie McKay
Check out this transformation from Rian Cory, who previously completed the course in 2020 - "My approach to eating has drastically changed." Rian was able to find success by learning how much he should be eating for his goals, building a balanced diet with all the foods he enjoyed, and trusting the process.
This story is my favourite – in Week #2 when we started tracking macronutrient targets, Urs actually wanted to quit. But change comes with a learning curve – get over the hump by being good enough, not perfect. If you can do that, what’s on the other side is quite remarkable.
Emily started working with a Polyhealth coach only 3 months after having her 3rd child. She wanted to shed some postpartum weight and start her journey back to regular CrossFit training and activity.
Not only did she lose 14lbs of fat but gained muscle in the process! Emily’s now maintaining her weight at ~3000 calories/day, crushing performance goals in the gym and loving life in her postpartum body!
