Testimonials
“Thanks to LeeAnn I have lost 55 pounds and have kept it off for 6 months. I have about 10 pounds more to go, although my doctor thinks I have lost enough. Most importantly, my blood sugar is lower and my A1C is now normal. I am safe!”
“Losing weight is like climbing a mountain — and LeeAnn was a superb guide. Her kind, patient, expert guidance helped me lose over 30 pounds (and keep it off). Not only do I feel healthier and look better, but getting better shape has made outdoor activities a lot more fun. After working with LeeAnn, I was able to successfully complete the LA Triathlon!”
“As a newly diagnosed type 1 diabetic, I felt powerless and in the dark with this new disease. I had a list of fears to match a list of questions. LeeAnn took the time to carefully explain and answer them all. She gave me the tools I needed to start a new life plan centered around a healthy, and sustainable diet. Since seeing LeeAnn and following the diet plan that she laid out for me, I have noticed a substantial increase in energy, more stable blood sugar readings, and an overall feeling of control over my diabetes.”
“Overall, LeeAnn is pleasant, professional, and provides knowledge beyond our expectations. Pleasure and worth the drive to see her.”
