MEET Coach Melissa

Hello, friend

Summer 2015 was when my health journey changed for the better. That’s when I discovered the whole food plant-based lifestyle, tried it on for size and experienced benefits I never thought possible at age 40-something. Before, I had tried counting points, paleo, fad diets and exercising like crazy – that didn’t work. But now things are better because I learned how the body is designed to be nourished. What we eat either promotes health or promotes disease.

I used to struggle with weight gain, low energy and was frustrated with diets that didn’t work. Once I learned the answer, I waded through oodles of evidence on my own to be sure this is the right path (which it is!) and now I’m helping you by providing support so you don’t have to go through what I did!

It IS possible to live a second youth that’s better than the first©. No homework, curfews or acne! 😉

  • The SYWM course helped me make better food choices. I now look at food differently. I received a wealth of information… now I understand that being healthy starts with what you eat and don’t eat. I feel and look younger and many of my gut issues have greatly improved. I highly recommend the SYWM course for better health and to feel younger.
