Sharon had been struggling with her diabetes and how she was feeling for years. She was on multiple medications and her doctor wanted to prescribe yet another – she was at her wits end. She was 64 years old.  Sharon had tried various diets and treatments in the past, including gastric bypass surgery, but nothing worked long-term. She felt hopeless. After seeing one of Trisha's Facebook posts, Sharon decided to give her a call, even though she was at the point of giving up. After just 3 weeks of eating optimally Sharon…

✨ Eliminated 3 medications in 3 weeks! Two for diabetes and one blood pressure medication!
✨ Shed 8 pounds and her husband lost 5!

A Quick Overview of Working With Nutritionist and Author, Trisha Mandes, MPHN
Here are the
Four Major Steps
Trisha will personally
Guide you through
as your Nutritionist, one-on-one accountability coach, and your number one cheerleader
to help YOU Shed Pounds Sustainably...
1. Individualized Optimal Eating Plan
Grounded in science, and over a decade of experience as a Nutritionist, Trisha will put a specific and unique eating plan in place with you that's optimized to your goals, diagnosis, tastebuds and lifestyle.  There's no counting calories (or counting of anything!), no weighing, measuring, portion control, no pills, products and no meals to buy.  This makes achieving and maintaining your results SUSTAINABLE.




2. Habit-Based Lifestyle Change
You'll learn every skill needed to shed pounds sustainably LONG-TERM no matter where you are or what you're doing.  You're going to be LIVING MORE while you work with Trisha.  You'll practice these new habits repeatedly, with her tailoring them to your unique needs.  Then, they become a lifestyle change and then you don't even need to THINK about food anymore.  It's just how you then show up for yourself.  You'll be able to shed pounds sustainably amongst eating at restaurants, hosting guests, when you don't feel like cooking, when you do feel like cooking, while traveling and more!  
3. Cognitive and Emotional Rewiring
Together you and Trisha will identify sabotaging thoughts -- any thought that if you ACT on it, takes you a step away from Shedding Pounds Sustainably.  Then, you and Trisha will craft helpful responses -- rational, encouraging and compassionate thoughts to act on instead that help you Shedding Pounds Sustainably.  You'll learn how to create and invoke your own "inner cheerleader" and dim your "inner critic."  This way, no matter what you're thinking or feeling, your actions are still in alignment with your goals.

4. Individualized Fitness Plan
Within 6 weeks, you're going to feel like a different person - more energized, lighter and in less pain. It'll be SO much easier move more in 6 weeks than it is now.  You and Trisha are going to take advantage of this. Together, you'll put a custom fitness plan in place that's tailored to your new movement abilities, likes and goals. Together you'll decide when, where and what time you'll complete your movement plan.  Trisha will be holding you accountable (and teaching you how to hold yourself accountable to your new fitness routine).
