First and foremost, it is crucial to understand wellness as a multi-dimensional concept. For most people, their desire to lose weight is unachievable because they are focused on counting calories rather than making sustainable lifestyle changes.

Quotes

• “I want my clients to get to where they're enjoying life so much that food is really just fuel and what they do with their lives is a space where they're getting fit.” (05:19-05:32 | Shawnta)

• “I started off as a health coach and then I knew I needed to get a certification as a life coach because it wasn't just about the food, it really had so much more to do about how we're living our lives and whether or not we are happy with what we are doing every day.” (07:26-07:41 | Kimberly)

• “Most of weight management is so much deeper than just calorie counting and getting on the scale. Those things can help, but that's not going to solve the real problem.” (09:07-09:15 | Shawnta)

• “I want to show people you can still eat well on a vegan diet.” (30:07-30:11 | Erin)

• “The first thing you really need to do is change your mindset about food because if you go into it thinking I'm going to be vegan that means I can't have this or I can't have that, you create a restricted mindset and it's going to be really hard to keep it up.” (42:05-42:19 | Natalie)
