Nourish & Thrive: 12-Week Functional Nutrition Coaching Program

Working with Chrystal has truly changed the way I approach my health. I started working with her to look at how my health can improve and how to support my fertility journey. In looking at my test results, there were several underlying issues. We looked at each factor and prioritized what was the most important. We looked at how I can make changes in my daily life, incorporate certain foods, and make modifications to my nutrition, etc. Over time, I was able to turn these small changes to habits. She really took into account what works for me and how best to support me. It wasn’t an off the shelf solution, it was personalized and thoughtful.

Working with Chrystal, I quickly learned that my nutrition was not about reaching goals but more about creating a lifestyle one day at a time that could last forever. I loved that in our first session I told her what I wanted and she did not lecture me on what I needed to change, but instead she created a vision of my future self as if it was who I already was. One week at a time we stacked habits, adding new foods and practices to better my health and eliminating things that are unhealthy. Chrystal made me feel like I was giving myself personal challenges to be proud of and was an incredible cheerleader for my accomplishments, as well as a supportive sounding board for my complaints. She is unbelievably knowledgeable in her field but talks to you like a normal person. She understands that we are all different and one plan does not work for everybody. I approached her with the goal of gaining lean muscle and controlling my autoimmune symptoms and she undeniably helped me to create a lifestyle of nutrition and daily habits that will make my goal a routine. I can’t say enough wonderful things about Nourish Up! I am so grateful for her help and guidance.

It’s a scary and humbling moment when you realize there is something that isn’t right with your child. As happy as I was to find out that my mom-intuition was correct, it was also a moment of realization that it was me who needed the proper tools for my son to heal. That was a heavy moment of responsibility that without Chrystal, I may have crumbled. There were times where Chrystal needed to coach me through my stress and worry so that I could be a strong leader in my family’s health. I’m so thankful for her support and guidance.

I wasn’t sure how working with a 9 year old was going to be; wasn’t sure how my son would respond or react to the changes we were implementing… Chrystal has been a true blessing to our family’s health and overall wellbeing. She has educated us (including my 9 year old) in an interactive, clear and gentle way; allowing us to feel confident again in our new goals and desired outcome.

The program has proven to be invaluable. I didn’t realize that my family had created poor habits that were impacting us so much. With this program we have been able to address where our weaknesses are and make the necessary changes.

When the 12 week marker came around, I couldn’t believe how far we had come. As we go through our goals and habits, I realized we were making huge strides and our initial symptoms were disappearing. The issues that were plaguing my son were becoming a non issue…and ultimately non existent! The empowerment she has allowed me and my son to feel is like a new chance at life, a second opportunity to get our bodies and minds in the most healthy place possible.

We reached such an amazing place in our first 12 weeks that we felt a strong desire to sign up for an additional 12 weeks, to dig deeper and further into our health journey. Not only is Chrystal coaching my son, but she is coaching me in how I can support and encourage him. I’ve learned so much about how the foods I’m feeding my son directly affect him and his wellbeing. Chrystal is guiding me in everything from food options and grocery plans, to teaching me about how the gut works and how to heal. This program is so much more than a class in nutrition or guidance on a meal plan; this is a life changing choice that will take your health to the next level. Now my family has a plan, we’re setting up for success and I’m arming myself with knowledge from Chrystal that has proven to provide a pain free and healing body for my son.

It was my family's pleasure to work with Chrystal over the summer! We originally engaged Chrystal to help my 9 year old son with sustainable and healthy weight gain as well as to improve eating habits in order to enhance sports performance. However, throughout the journey, our whole family benefited. We have learned so much about healthy eating habits, why they are important to us, and most important of all, it helps create long-lasting healthy eating habits.

Chrystal also provided us with comprehensive resources, including breakfast/snacks recipes, that are both tasty and nutritious.

As a result, not only has my son improved his weight gain, he also became more cheerful and not as depleted after sports tournaments. He's also more mindful with what he eats and more willing to try new foods.

We're so glad that we had a chance to work with Chrystal!

When I started the 12-week program, I had a desire to change and reach my goals but I also had this nagging fear of failure in the back of my mind. Enter Chrystal – my knowledgeable guide who put my fears at ease and believed in me and my ability to achieve my goals. Chrystal's expertise in holistic wellness and her skill at tailoring a wellness plan completely customized to my goals, needs and desires proved to be life-changing. I am no longer suffering with the gut issues that have plagued me for the last 20 years, I am more energized during the day and sleeping better at night. I created habits that I feel confident will last. Working with her was not only the best choice I've made for my health but also for my confidence. That’s why I’m signing up for another 12 weeks of her guidance as I navigate perimenopause. I'm empowered and excited for the journey ahead.

Before enrolling in the 'Nourish and Thrive' 12-week program, I struggled immensely with IBS, which often made me feel embarrassed and anxious, especially when dining out or attending social events. Every meal seemed like a potential trigger, leaving me feeling nervous and apprehensive.

However, joining this program was a turning point. What I appreciated the most was Chrystal’s practical approach taken towards wellness. She understood the complexities of IBS and tailored the program to address my specific concerns. Learning about mindful eating and implementing personalized strategies significantly alleviated my discomfort.

Through this journey, I not only gained control over my symptoms but also regained confidence in social settings. The guidance provided went beyond diets and restrictions; it was a holistic approach that empowered me to make informed choices without fear.

I now feel like I can attend gatherings without the overwhelming anxiety. Thanks to Chrystal, I've discovered a newfound freedom—a life where I dictate my wellness, not my condition. I highly recommend this program to anyone seeking a practical and supportive path towards holistic wellness.
