I was frustrated with the ongoing cycle of losing weight and gaining it back and decided it was time to reach out for nutrition coaching.
During my time with Pivot, I am most proud of establishing healthy habits that have taken me way beyond my original goals. I enjoy being more active and prioritizing " moving " in my day. I am lifting weights routinely, and I am proud of my progress with lifting heavier weights. I have developed a positive mindset around food and fitness. My cholesterol numbers have dropped to normal ranges and are the best they’ve been in 20 years!! What I once thought was my main goal has been overshadowed by so many other good things (mentioned above). That said, I’ve lost pounds and inches, and I’m wearing smaller sizes. Best of all, I feel great. I feel younger!
My biggest takeaway is that it’s not about the number on the scale. There are so many measures of progress, and it all starts with a healthy mindset. I did not know the importance of protein and the amount I should have daily. I was amazed at how my cravings for my favorite snacks/foods went away when the protein went up. Consistency with “all the things” is what helped me make progress toward my goals.
Carol was the perfect coach for me. She met me where I was and helped me make small changes over time. She encouraged me to get outside and walk in the dead of winter—and it became a daily habit that I loved. I always felt comfortable talking to Carol about my frustrations, stressors, and obstacles.
She would remind me that the changes we were making would become my new routine. It was hard to believe that at the beginning, but she was right! I was also excited to share my successes and discoveries with her. In addition to guiding me through this journey, she was my biggest cheerleader. She genuinely cares and wants me to succeed. Her guidance and encouragement were game-changers for me.
I would tell someone on the fence about nutrition coaching that trying to lose weight is hard work. However, working with a registered dietitian and following the guidance of Pivot Nutrition Coaching has helped me focus on the RIGHT work, and the results are far beyond my initial expectations. As I graduate from the program, my mind is on continuing the right work—and it doesn’t feel like “hard work” anymore. It has simply become how I relate to food and fitness with a healthy mindset and established daily habits. (Just like Coach Carol said it would. 😊)
In addition to having my own personal registered dietitian, I appreciated all the resources provided, the social media pages with info and live segments with Dani, and the podcasts. It is so helpful to have the right information coming to you in many forms.
I was motivated to reach out for help because I was eating food like I was still playing college football. This made me gain weight and become self-conscious about my appearance.
My wife had just graduated from Pivot herself, and I saw firsthand how much they can help. That made me realize that I needed to invest in myself.
I am most proud that I lost 30+ pounds. I am also really proud that I successfully changed my mindset regarding eating. I no longer feel the need to finish everything on my plate.
My biggest takeaway from the program is how important your hunger fullness cues are. Once I learned how to listen to my hunger cues actively, I was able to start losing weight right away.
I loved working with Sam because she gave me some good healthy food options that I would never have thought about. I got my favorite overnight oats recipe from her!!
I would tell someone who is on the fence about nutrition coaching to invest in themselves! It is totally worth it and men, it's okay to ask for help!
I am totally blown away by my results - down 30 lbs. in 6 months!!!
Through the Pivot program, I realized that nutrition is pretty simple. It is truly all about consistency!
I have never truly had a good relationship with food until now.
I was a collegiate athlete who struggled with my weight, my performance, and my confidence. After going through this program, not only does my body physically look better, but my mindset is so much better too!
I am so grateful for this program and feel confident that I have the ability to maintain my results for years to come!
Thank you, Dani, for all you have done for me...two years later I've still maintained my results!
I was a few months away from turning 40 and wanted to start a new decade feeling the best I’ve ever felt. I knew I had a fairly unhealthy relationship with food but had no idea how bad it was until I had my first call with Dani, and we started to break it down. The all-or-nothing mindset was running rampant in my head on a daily basis.
Through my journey with Pivot, I am most proud of my relationship with food, which is 150% better! I now don’t feel guilty when I indulge in fun foods and have found I feel so much better when I nourish my body. I’m also so proud of dropping my cholesterol by almost 100 points!!! Go, team fruit and veggies!!
My biggest takeaway was finally learning about macros!!! I dialed in on my body's needs to be at its best. At 40, this feels amazing! No, my stomach aches!
I just adored working with Moriah. She was the perfect fit for me. She helped me stay dialed into my goals, whether it was food or movement based. She never judged and was always supportive.
My advice for those on the fence about investing in nutrition coaching is to just….DO IT. Invest in yourself. You will not regret it. There is so much misinformation out there regarding nutrition, diets, and health. Pay for professionals to guide you! Dani and her team’s approach to health and wellness was exactly what I needed.
Thank you, PIVOT 100x, for everything. You guys are amazing, and I’m so thankful for you!!
My motivation to reach out first began when I came across Dani’s Instagram page and saw recipes that were using actual food I had in my house. Then I just enjoyed her content and saw she had a group class opening up, so I decided to join.
I am most proud of starting at 256 and am currently down to 213! That is my biggest accomplishment, and my clothes fit better!
I have tried a few different weight loss programs but never felt like I learned anything from them other than to restrict calories. In a way, I feel like I was validated for the way I was thinking. You don’t have to ‘diet.’ Just eat better and be more mindful of what your body needs - PFF!!
I love that my coach Jenna was never down on me, she was always positive, and I was excited to talk to her! She knew that I am a busy mom of 3 who works 2 jobs and runs activities with my kids all year round and helped me with ideas for snacks and workouts that work for me!
If you are not sure if you are ready to PIVOT, my advice is to …. just do it! I have learned so much in the last 12 months, and there is no magic pill. It takes work and being consistent. Jenna has helped me to be again mindful of what my body needs for fuel, and she worked with me as an individual and figured out what works for me.
Thank you, Dani, and Jenna, for everything you have taught me and helped me with. You helped me change my mindset, and I know I sound like a broken record, but just being mindful of the foods I am putting into my body.
I was struggling to put on weight and felt very lethargic.
I am most proud of being consistent in my new eating habits, reaching my ideal weight and being able to maintain in during season.
My biggest takeaway is that it's not just about eating a lot of calories. I learned how important a balanced plated is and how important the timing of when I eat is as an athlete.
One thing that I really loved about working with Dani was how she was there when I had questions or had to change a meeting when my schedule changed. She was always there for me when I needed her the most.
As an athlete I was so focused on working out, sleeping right, and mental toughness. For some reason I never thought to think about nutrition. It is definitely the biggest difference maker in how I feel and my performance on the ice.
If you're an athlete on the fence about nutrition coaching,
JUST DO IT.
I’ve struggled with weight almost my whole life. I reached out for coaching because I saw myself getting skinnier, and I didn’t like how I was looking. I wanted to change that so I could perform better and feel better.
I was doubtful about working with a nutrition coach at first, but I've gained 23 lbs since working with Paige. I learned that eating more at once is not always the best for me compared to eating smaller meals and snacks more often.
My favorite thing about working with my coach was just all of the little tips that have stuck with me like bringing my own snacks places and planning ahead. She also kept me accountable to take photos of my meals and snacks so that she could provide me with feedback.
Paige helped me realize that it's a marathon, not a sprint. Staying disciplined and being consistent is key. It's hard at first but it gets easier!
If you're not sure if you wanna do this program, do it!
I was motivated to reach out for coaching because both of my sons were getting married 3 months apart. Not only did I want to lose weight, I wanted to have more energy again. I was tired of feeling tired. Also, with a family history of diabetes and heart issues, I had some concerns when I saw some of those numbers rising at my annual check-up.
I am most proud of how good I feel!! I am moving more and sleeping so much better. I lost weight and inches. My lab results have improved at my last check-up. Others have recognized my success and joined the program, too!
I love Pivot because it is a maintainable lifestyle - not a diet. Nothing is off-limits. I had an "ah-ha" moment when I realized that I was no longer emotional eating. I am satisfied with my meals and snacks.
I loved working with Carol. There were times when I truly thought I was going to fail and that this wasn't going to work for me, but Carol was always encouraging. She reminded me to trust the process when I wasn't seeing results in the beginning. She motivated me to be consistent with steps and strength training. She helped find alternatives when needed. She always found what worked best for me.
If you're on the fence....Don't wait!! Start today!! You are investing in yourself and you are totally worth it!! You will never regret how good you will feel.
Thank you Dani and Carol! You both are amazing! You are changing people's lives!
I had followed Dani for years on Instagram, so I thought I had a good idea of what I should be doing. I had an injury that limited my usual physical activity so I really wanted to focus on nutrition. A close friend started working with Dani so my husband and I decided to reach out to do this journey together - best decision ever!
My relationship with food has improved so much. I am eating to fuel my body and am able to enjoy fun foods, too. #balance Giving my body fuel has improved my workouts and has helped with my injury.
I realized don't have to starve myself to be healthy!! I never expected to eat more food and lose weight!
(Before photo: 1400 cals, 150 lbs
After Photo: 2400 cals, 141 lbs)
Dani has been my biggest cheerleader. She keeps me accountable and helps me with any struggles I am having.
I was on the fence when I started and thought I could do this on my own. It is so much more than just knowing what to do. Working with Pivot/Dani has been life changing. Yes it is an investment but the habits and knowledge that you gain are sustainable for your entire life! You will never regret investing in your health. It is everything.
The best part is how personalized the process is for everyone. They start where you are at and help you work towards your goals. Being on this journey with my husband and two close friends has shown me how very different everyone's nutrition needs really are. You can't just follow a cookie cutter plan.
I am so happy to be able to be a model for my daughter so she can have a healthy relationship with food and exercise.
I decided to invest in my health and nutrition because it was the missing component that I needed to finally achieve my goals and maintain my results. I was working out all the time and gaining weight at the same time.
I am pushing 50 and thought I will be having many other changes coming. Right before I was put in touch with Dani, I found out that I was in full menopause, what great timing!
In 6 months, I lost 20 lbs. pounds and 10% body fat while maintaining my muscle mass! I have also lost inches in places that would make any woman happy (hence the new sports bra!)
One of the things that I am most proud of and Dani has helped me with is she also can help with your workouts, I knew but did not realize how important pre-fueling and post fuel for my workouts were. I enjoy bike riding at long distances, she has helped me manage and keep my energy to last throughout these long rides, WOW what a difference it has made. I have followed her plan, worked her plan and the results have followed.
I would recommend her to any one who wants to be a better you and improve your health at any age. I had many friends and family say "you don't need to lose 20 pounds", but then I showed them my results pictures and WOW what a difference, I look healthy, strong and happy. It's like I tell my kids, you always have a choice, and I choose a healthy and happy me.
I always struggled with consistency; I would overdo every diet or workout program to the point that I would burnout and end up back at square one.
Over the past 6 months I am most proud of making small incremental changes that have changed how I view food and exercise. I now feel the healthiest I ever felt in my life! I don't dread working out and weigh the same as I did when I was 21 - I'm down 25 lbs. without feeling like I'm dieting.
Pivot is the perfect program for those who are looking to shift their mindset away from an all-or-nothing mentality and who could use some accountability and support. I went at it alone for so long, and now, that just seems silly.
I signed up for nutrition coaching because weight loss methods that I had used in the past were not working anymore.
Over the last 8 months, I am most proud of increasing my daily activity, having more energy, doing strength training consistently, improving my eating habits, building muscle and dropping body fat.
The crazy part is, I weigh the same as I did at the start but my body composition is significantly different - my clothes fit way better!
What I loved about working with Dani was her enthusiasm and genuine care for accomplishing my goals. The most important thing I learned is that consistency is KEY!
If you're on the fence about investing in nutrition coaching...Do it! Invest in yourself! You are worth it!
During the past decade, I gradually gained weight and wanted to reverse that trend, but resisted because I didn't want to diet. After learning that Pivot Nutrition did not involve restrictive dieting, but, instead lifestyle changes, I decided to do sign up. Seeing and hearing about the results my friends who were clients of Pivot Nutrition also motivated me to enroll in the program.
Over the past 6 months, I have made lifestyle changes, which have resulted in a reduction in inches and an increase in self-confidence. I walk two to three miles at least five days a week, eat healthy and, as a result, feel great. At age 63 I feel better than I did when I was in my 50's!
During my time in Pivot, I learned that healthy food is tasty and my body responds to fueling well and being active by making me energy-filled and happy.
My coach Sam was the best! She encouraged me, gave me advice, and most importantly, she listened to my concerns and coached me to overcome emotional obstacles.
I can say honestly and without reservation that Pivot Nutrition changed my life and I believe that it will do the same for others.
Being in the health and human performance industry myself, I always thought I ate well and had a great foundation. However I was so frustrated with not seeing the body composition results I wanted so I made the decision to reach out to Dani.
I came into the program thinking "I think I need to drop down to 215 lbs.", which was a vague number of where I was weight wise 4 years ago. Not realizing that through my nutrition and training I would put on a lot of muscle, going all the way up to 233, then coming back down to 227, and seeing the body type starting to take shape that I have always been after!
My biggest takeaway was learning more about what my body needs from a food perspective and having a better relationship with certain foods...especially carbs. Dani increased my carbs significantly and within days I felt better during my workouts!
I really liked having someone to give me a plan of action. As a coach myself, all I do is give others direction. When it comes to my training and apparently my nutrition, I like to have someone else give me the plan to follow.
For those on the fence about investing in nutrition coaching, I would say to just do it. It's not this brutal, "you can't eat this, can't have that experience." And I think that's the biggest hump people need to get over.
Just look at me, I weigh 6-8 lbs. MORE then when I started, but look better and feel so much better!
I would recommend Dani and her program to anyone! She's really helped me a lot over the past 3-4 months and I'm looking forward to where things go from here!
I originally signed up for Pivot because I was going to Hawaii with my husband and wanted to feel confident in my bikini...
I was working out 5 days a week, but I was gaining weight and my clothes were getting tighter. I'd skip meals because life was busy then I would eat till I was uncomfortable, or just have popcorn for a dinner. I realized that I didn’t know much about nutrition and what I should be eating everyday. I was getting uncomfortable in my clothes and felt like it was time for a change!
I learned soo much from doing this program! I learned how to build a balanced plate, I cook more meals than I ever have, I feel more confident, I have more energy, my workouts are more productive, I feel more comfortable in my clothes - I wore shorts all summer this year when last year I never really did!
I loved having someone there to ask questions to, meal ideas, snack ideas, all the nutrition knowledge, etc. Sarah was amazing! She was also fun to talk to! She would consider my biofeedback and it was interesting to see how big of a role food plays in with your mood, energy, sleep, etc. there’s so much she taught me! I am grateful for the accountability and her pushing me and teaching me!
If you're on the fence...DO IT!! Seriously, I wish I would have signed up for this forever ago. I ran a marathon last year and I had no idea how to fuel my body for it. I feel more strong now and feel like my training would have been easier if I had learned how to fuel my body.
For real though, it’s worth it! I learned so much about nutrition and I’m so proud of creating a lifestyle that I will be able to sustain. Turns out my wins go beyond feeling confident in a bikini :)
I reached out to Dani because I was sick of going through the same cycle of getting in shape, then losing it all, getting in shape, losing it all, etc. I knew that this was happening because of my mindset and nutrition habits so it seemed necessary to invest as I have 3 more years of college hockey ahead of me!
I am most proud of developing a fantastic relationship with food and feeling more comfortable in my own body. I feel more confident and I'm willing to try new things whether that’s food or activities. I also learned how to confidently put together a plate that has all the key components in making a balanced plate.
I loved the ability to get a personalized program to me and only me. It was a game changer to know my own needs and not some generic plan for my age group.
I loved working with Dani and her consistent support and motivation to change my habits and stay on course. She also celebrated the small wins which I am not very good at doing and it always felt awesome!
I appreciate everything Dani has taught me and I also am so so appreciative of her ability to work with my schedule and make adjustments to my nutrition game plan accordingly because as a college athlete my schedule changed a lot and Dani never hesitated to rework my meal and snack times or what I should be eating at different points of the day.
She is an all-star and I can’t wait to see how many other people she is able to help Pivot!!
During Covid I gained 15 lbs. and was having trouble trying to lose it. My friend Laura had amazing success with Pivot nutrition coaching so she gave me Dani's contact info and the rest is history! Although I was put on a waiting list, the wait was definitely worth it!! In fact, losing the 15 lbs. was successful but nothing compared to the knowledge I gained!!
I’m most proud of my new understanding of food and exercise. Dani has a way of introducing information in a manageable way that is never overwhelming. It’s one step at a time and you build from there. Of course I knew to eat more veggies and fruit as well as the importance of exercise; however, now I have a plan!! A plan that works! No questions were ever left unanswered.
Something I didn’t expect was how easy it was to buy into the program. I totally understood from the beginning that we would reach the results I wanted if I stuck to the program and was honest about what I was eating and drinking. In that respect, the program can work because all of the information is necessary for Dani to help when I reached a plateau or needed to learn more about tracking. I always looked forward to our weekly sessions whether they were online or in-person.
If someone is on the fence about Pivot, I would say what have you got to lose? (Yes, that’s a pun!). Nutrition coaching with Pivot is the real deal. It is not a fad diet or a one-size-fits-all - Pivot works 1:1 with each client so that raises the odds of being successful for each person. Our weekly discussions were all about ME and what was working or not working for ME.
I would like to add the fact there was never any “shaming” or “what were you thinking?” We were encouraged to eat whatever we wanted without any fear of feeling bad or that we failed. Knowing that was the Pivot approach, it was easy to be truly honest about recording meal information. Dani always said we were building on our knowledge to gain a lifelong understanding of nutrition.
I’d also like to add the gentle pushes Dani would give me to get into strength training. I’m seven weeks into strength training and I’m super excited to say l’m enjoying the challenge!! I’ve been doing yoga, biking, pickle ball, golf, and walking for years but strength training was the missing piece. Thank you, Dani, for everything!! You are the best!!!!!!!!
I initially decided to joint Pivot because I struggled to find balance and effectively lose weight. I was trying to eat what I thought was balanced and continued to struggle with weight loss for months. I figured it was time to learn more about food, balance, and my body.
I am most proud that I have changed my lifestyle and relationship with food. Before starting with Pivot I always thought I had a good relationship and understanding of balance, but I was very wrong. I had a lot of false concepts and all of no idealizations. I now feel that I am allowed to remain consistent and healthy while still eating “bad” food.
Throughout my journey at Pivot I rarely looked at the scale. I focused on how my body felt in terms of energy and movement. I became consistent with my nutrition and incorporating movement in daily. My relationship with food and nutrition concepts improved significantly.
My favorite part of working with Sam was the accountability. I also think 1:1 coaching helps you understand that changing your lifestyle takes time. I felt many emotions throughout my journey including guilt and confusion and Sam was able to explain what my body was going through and how to overcome/process those thoughts.
If you feel stuck or confused about dieting, losing weight, or finding consistency, invest in yourself. Understanding more about nutrition and your body is so powerful and is worth the time and effort. The results will be unbelievable!
I was motivated to reach out for nutrition coaching because I wanted to develop a healthy relationship with food (not feeling guilty about eating). I also wanted to learn how to fuel my body and reduce risk of injury since I do triple jump in college.
My biggest win is that I am not afraid to eat food anymore, and I don't get anxiety over eating anymore!! I have finally climbed my way out of the dark mindset I was in.
My greatest non-scale victory is that I came to the realization that what I was doing before was not okay for my physical or mental health, and I have made peace with my past and moved on from it.
I loved working with Sarah. I never felt judged when I had a question to ask, and she ALWAYS had an answer. She also didn't judge me when I had off days.
I am now way more confident with my food decisions. The most important thing I learned was probably the fact that fat isn't the criminal I made it out to be. I didn't realize how much it impacted the entirety off my body. I was able to actually pay attention in class again and my academics thanked me haha.
Keep changing lives!
I was 6 months postpartum and was not feeling like myself, my body had changed so much after having a baby and I was so busy concentrating on taking care of everyone but myself that I was struggling physically and mentally with the way I looked and decided it was time for me to take care of myself so I can do better for my family. I also wanted to have a better attitude when it comes to my body and food so that I can instill positivity in my daughter to have a good relationship with food and the way her body looks.
I am most proud of not feeling guilty when having fun foods like ice cream or chocolate. I would get comments from people saying ‘’You can have that? Aren’t you on a diet?’’ To which I would correct them and say that I’m not on a diet I’m changing my lifestyle and I can have these foods in moderation...Cause I love my ice cream lol!
The best thing I learned is that fun food is ok to have in moderation plus having it guilt free is even better :) Also my mindset has changed; I no longer think, ok I’ll start eating better on Monday. If I have an off day I now tell myself tomorrow is a new day to do better!
I loved everything about working with coach Sarah, especially the fact that I can message her whenever I had questions was so helpful. Also, I love the fact that she listened to what I wanted, I didn’t want to calorie count so we didn’t go that route, I wanted to know a little bit about what to look for on labels so she taught me a few things that have stuck with me for when I go grocery shopping. Having small goals every week that were attainable and that were easy to continue and maintain.
This program is the best thing I could have done for myself not only am I eating better but I feel healthier, stronger, I have more energy and can do more for my family than I was ever able to before!
I did it this to be healthier, stronger and to be able to instill healthy habits for my daughters as she grows up. I also had the added bonus of losing 20lbs and going down a size in clothing! The best part is knowing that I will be able to continue with everything I’ve learned for the rest of my life!
I decided to invest in nutrition coaching because I was so tired of trying to figure things out on my own and not getting any results.
I am proud of myself for finding exercise fun and staying with it!
I realized that you really can eat any food in moderation. Some foods are not great for you but nothing is off the table!
I loved working with Sam! She always answered my questions and was so helpful. I never knew the importance of having so much daily fiber and protein but now I make sure I have enough everyday!
If you're on the fence about nutrition coaching, know that this is an investment in your health. You need to work with someone who is trained in getting you healthy the safest way and the most beneficial long term! Quick fixes don’t work!
Sam has given me the confidence I need to be successful on my own. I am truly grateful for all of the knowledge I have gained working with her!❤️
I was motivated to reach out for nutrition coaching because I wasn’t making the changes I wanted to see by myself. I really wanted to invest in myself and see the change.
I am most proud of being more consistent, learning basic daily habits that impact myself and my family, and finally seeing results!
During the program, I learned that protein is key! And breakfast- I am now a believer haha!
Sam easy to talk to, pushed me but was also realistic. She was always willing to find me new snacks or food suggestions as well!
If someone is on the fence about investing in nutrition coaching, I would say just do it! We spend so much time and money on things that don’t matter. You matter, you are important! Refuel and refill your bucket and invest in yourself!
What an amazing experience!
My decision to invest in nutrition coaching was an easy one - I had been dealing with high blood pressure and high cholesterol for a couple years, then found out that I was prediabetic.
I have a grandchild due and my son's wedding (pictured above) in the next year and I needed to take control of my own health so I will be around to enjoy my family!
Before starting the program, I was popping Tums multiple times per day, every day. I haven't taken a Tums in over 5 months and even threw out the bottle!
I lost 25 lbs. in the last 9 months and am very excited about that but am most proud of how I feel about myself now. I feel better about how I look and how my clothes are fitting, I definitely feel more confident with myself. I love eating the foods I want and knowing these foods will continue to improve my health. I am looking forward to being a fun and energetic grandma and be able to be active with my grandchildren.
I would encourage anyone thinking about investing in nutrition coaching to - Just Do It!!! This has been such an empowering experience for me - I am in charge of my own health and I learned I can and have made a difference for my future by doing this.
I'm a breastfeeding mother with a full-time job and chauffer to 3 kiddos. One year ago, I stepped on the scale and read 252 and couldn't believe I was so heavy. I was trying to pour from of an empty cup. I was depleted nutritionally and physically and I had a huge sense of failure.
I was trying to control my weight with intermittent fasting and avoiding fruit and sweets. I was a slave to my hunger and equated eating or craving certain foods to being bad. I loved to exercise but because of the pandemic I was unable to go to my gym. I would do one or two long workouts a week and then be so sore and tired that I'd skip the next one. I was up to nurse the baby every 3 hours and I was trying so hard and I was so stressed out. It took forever to fall asleep when I had time to sleep because my mind was racing.
I was considering bariatric surgery when I was done breastfeeding. I was first put on calorie restriction at age 10 and it felt hopeless. The harder I tried, the more I would see a small success only to regain the weight, lose hope and energy.
I first heard about Dani and Pivot at the worst time. I was to tired and broke and there were a thousand reasons why it wouldn't work for me. But I thought, this is less drastic then surgery.
At first, it seemed too easy. It was hard to trust the process as I only had 2 tasks (goals) for the first week. I could not believe these two things would have an effect. Well, the little things add up! I learned that a 5-minute walk is better then no walk. Exercise that is convenient, like cleaning the house, is better then the one that you never get to or you don't enjoy.
Today, I feel good! Though I have lost 45 lbs. in one year, I am learning that I am not the number on the scale. I am able to eat to nourish myself and my baby and I have energy to be there for my kids which is the most important thing. I know there is no "bad food", only fun food and fuel, both of which I can enjoy!
When Covid hit, I ate whatever I wanted and wasn’t exercising regularly anymore, so I gained quite a bit of weight. I wanted to get back on track for my sophomore year of college and feel good about the food I was eating!
My biggest win from this program is how much my mindset has changed towards food & I'm so happy I am able to include foods I love without feeling guilty! I lost lost 19 lbs. since August and am very proud of being able to be consistent with my diet while still including my favorite foods.
I feel a lot better/comfortable going out to eat and not feeling like I'm going to explode after. I also don't have a ton of cravings anymore. I'm not restricting myself, I just know that what type of food doesn't make my body feel good after. I also LOVE vegetables now, air frying them is the bomb!
I also learned that you can’t just exercise and expect to lose weight; diet will always trump exercise! I am happy I am able to fuel my body with foods I love and I’ve noticed how much my energy has boosted since I started nutrition coaching.
If someone is on the fence about investing in nutrition coaching, I would say absolutely do it! Invest in yourself and create sustainable eating habits that fit your lifestyle. Dani & her team teaches and guides you to reach your goals and maintain them! You will look at food so differently after!
I have always struggled with weight loss, up and down. Getting back on track has been difficult. A health scare last spring motivated me to get help. My family encouraged me to talk to Dani.
In 6 months I was able to steadily lose over 30 lbs. by modifying my eating habits and doing physical exercise daily.
Following Dani’s plan was easier than I thought; I was able to enjoy the food I like and lose weight. One of my fears was having to feel hungry, that has not been the case. I would strongly recommend talking with Dani about her weight loss program.
Weight, body image, and my relationship with food is something that I have struggled with my whole life. I have always felt like I wanted to lose weight but the scale did not budge. After many attempts of trying to lose weight and failing, I was the heaviest I had ever been. I knew I needed to make my health a priority, which led me to Dani.
I was captured by Dani’s enthusiasm to “fix” my “broken” body (I thought it was broken, she knew it wasn’t). She assured me that she could help me reach my weight loss goals and then some. With a wedding in sight, I was so eager to begin the program. Although I was hesitant to spend the money and make such a big commitment, I was ready for change. There were a million reasons as to why I could just do this myself… “I just have too many events this summer, I won’t be able to stay consistent”, “It’s just a lot of money to spend for someone to tell me to eat healthy...I already know what to do”, and the list goes on and on. Being healthy can be costly, but so can being sick. I had to choose which price I was willing to pay.
Dani has been so supportive on this journey. Although I have lost over 30 lbs, the non-scale victories outweigh them! My mindset about food has totally changed. Instead of putting food on a pedestal, I now see food as fuel. I can make healthy choices, while still enjoying treats - guilt free!
Dani has shown me that my body NEEDS protein, fat AND carbs!
Nutrition coaching has led me to find confidence and happiness again in myself. My old clothes are fitting better than before, and I am relying on consistency instead of motivation. Although this is not the end of my journey, I am SO happy with how far I have come, and I cannot wait to see where I will go from here. Dani is not just a Registered Dietitian, she is a motivator, mentor, and friend!
I reached out to Danielle after feeling tired, low energy, bloated, and anxious about cooking and foods I was eating. I have learned so much in how to be balanced and how to fuel my body for life all while eating all the foods I love!
I am so proud I am taking time to care for myself so I can be the best version of myself for my family!
I decided to invest in the nutrition program after having my first baby. I wanted my daughter to grow up watching me take care of myself and my health! I want it to be second nature for her when she is an adult.
If someone is on the fence about starting this nutrition program, I would tell them to not wait any longer. Danielle’s program is practical and easy to follow. She understands the business of life and has so many wonderful tools to help reach goals.
I'm down 24 lbs since June and don’t feel like I’ve sacrificed or missed out on anything. Honestly, I feel like I'm saying YES to more things!!
I have been over weight since the birth of my last child, which was 16 years ago. With a family history of Type II Diabetes looming over me, getting back to a healthy weight has been very important to me. I have tried to lose weight by myself with little success. I work out consistently and have for several years and although I’ve gotten stronger, I haven’t been able to drop the weight.
When I learned of Danielle’s program, I pounced on the opportunity. From Day 1 she has been teaching me about nutrition, how to handle obstacles while still achieving my nutritional goals, and celebrating with me along the path of my weight loss journey.
I am very proud of myself and so incredibly happy to be 30 pounds lighter. I am also so relieved to be solidly in the “healthy” category.
Danielle is worth her weight in gold! If you want to lose weight, AND KEEP IT OFF, there are no shortcuts, but her program will provide you with all the knowledge and skills you need to live a healthy life. Pivot is worth every penny you spend, and then some. The sooner you apply, the sooner you’ll find success. Apply NOW!
Before starting with Dani, I had an ‘all-or-nothing’ mindset when it came to food and nutrition and thought I could eat anything because I exercised daily.
I gained 40lbs during pregnancy and after the birth of my daughter, my relationship with food continued to negatively impact my energy and confidence. I finally said enough is enough and started working with Dani.
Dani is so knowledgeable and personable. She’s transformed my relationship with food entirely! Dani has help me change unhealthy habits into healthy, balanced habits, and made it sustainable and fun! I am happier with my body now than I was pre-pregnancy, and my all-or-nothing mindset is no more! Most importantly I am able to use what Dani has taught to be a positive role model for my daughter.
To anyone on the fence about nutritional coaching…Do it! Don’t let “I’ll start next week” become part of your unhealthy cycle.
Before reaching out to Dani I had spent most of my adult life "fad" dieting. I tried anything and everything, coupled with a very inconsistent gym lifestyle. Needless to say, my eating habits were anything but healthy and sustainable. Fast forward a few years and I finally found myself at a CrossFit gym and was able to dial in consistency and results with the fitness aspect of my life.
Unfortunately, I began to notice no matter how many hours or days a week I put in at the gym, I was still tired, my performance inside and outside the gym wasn't improving or in some cases, was decreasing and I had an overall very frustrating and unhealthy relationship with food. I knew I needed help and was fortunate enough to come across Dani's Instagram page. She has been a LIFE CHANGER!!
Her process WORKS and she has taught me to stop focusing on the immediate results but to focus on the long term results and creating healthy and sustainable eating habits that will last a life time. I never once felt the need to binge eat or fall off the wagon thanks to the healthy eating habits she helped me establish and not only has my performance and physical appearance improved, my mental attitude towards food is the best it's ever been. If you are feeling "stuck" in fad diets or if your feeling like your relationship with food is negatively affecting you, I 100% recommend Dani. You will not regret working with this wonderful, professional and extremely knowledgeable lady!
