You’re overweight and confused or frustrated about next steps. You’ve tried some weight loss approaches, without lasting success.
By now it’s well known that traditional diets do not work. We actually never use the word, at least not in the traditional sense. At best such diets provide short-term weight loss, and at worst, they are both unhealthy and create the so called yo-yo effect, setting the body up for gaining back the weight lost and perhaps even more.
We have successfully worked with hundreds of clients over many years to develop a system that is both healthy and sustainable. (Testimonial: Phyliss Rosenberg-Feliciano, Testimonial: Marguerite Couvillion) Our approach is based upon creating a unique, healthy eating plan designed specifically for each client. Your personal plan will help you lose weight and maintain that weight loss for the long run. It’s a way to eat for the rest of your life. We help you create realistic goals and take achievable steps to help you ultimately reach your weight and health goals.
While we use a coaching model in all areas of our work, we find it particularly critical for clients addressing weight issues. All too often, we find that clients are extremely hard on themselves when it comes to this issue. We find that negative self-talk and overzealous expectations are often great obstacles to success in a weight loss program. At times, we all can be our own worst enemy when it comes to creating change. We help clients focus on their successes rather than their failures and breakdowns. We educate clients on the change process, so they can begin to recognize their own hidden patterns and personal pitfalls. (Testimonial: Lisa Campos)
Our coaching style is both compassionate and insightful. We address things from self-talk to planning, to social systems to time management, whatever it takes to help you succeed in making the changes that will improve the quality of your life.
"If it were not for Judy Burgio, I never would have lost my 30 pounds and kept them off for over two years. At 45, this wasn’t such an easy thing to do. Offering unconditional support, health and healing without shame, and nudging me gently in the early months to start my walking, the weight came off. As a pharmacist, I truly believe that Judy’s background in medicine makes her unique among nutritionists. She doesn’t dismiss the conventional approach to health and wellness, but rather blends this knowledge with an equal awareness of alternative methods and supplements. I find this comforting and assuring in light of the fact that I live with a chronic disease which makes me dependent on mainstream medicine.
I have referred several others to Judy and will continue to do so."
Phyliss Rosenberg-Feliciano, Grantmaker
"I highly recommend Judy Burgio. With her expert nutritional advice. I lost almost 50 pounds in one year, and it was easy. As a pharmacist, she has also helped me over some rough spots concerning the effects of prescription medications and I continue to rely on her in both areas."
Marguerite Couvillion, San Rafael, CA
"I learned a lot about nutrition and myself while working with Judy. She taught me how to listen to my triggers and pay attention to my commitment in the face of my day to day temptations. Learning how to have control over my eating habits has made me a much happier person. I think Judy provides a very valuable service."
