My chronic pain has completely disappeared, and I have energy again.

I was struggling with Long COVID. I developed what my Long COVID specialist called COVID-Fibromyalgia. Chronic all-over body pain, I could barely function in daily life–and my gut was always painful after I ate. I hated food, but I needed energy, so I mostly ate carbs and refined sugars.

Since working with Kara, my chronic pain has completely disappeared, and I have energy again. I dropped a bunch of weight, and I am actually enjoying food and coming up with creative, healthy recipes. My gut feels normal, I don’t feel bloated, I have normal bowel movements, which is kind of a big deal as I don’t ever remember being normal without getting into too much discussion, LOL!

We are still working through some of my old food issues. I am peeling away the layers and know that I can defeat my old strategies.

I honestly never thought I would get better; my life felt out of control, and I was getting more and more depressed, and I could not ride my horses–which is my life. I am forever changed because of this program!

Was it easy? No! Was it worth it? ABSOLUTELY!

The support I got from Kara and Joe is outstanding; I have never felt so supported through some of the most difficult changes I would have to make in my life. I love how I feel now, and I also love that I can do what I love without pain, and I am not sleeping my life away. This program has been LIFE-CHANGING for me; I will be forever grateful to them for it.

I am so excited about my future; I only see healthy, yummy eating in my future and an appropriate weight for myself. I also see myself not stressing about food and enjoying my life, stepping far away from diet culture, and riding my beautiful horses as much as I want to without pain! This program is a lifesaver!

I’ve lost 11 pounds and I’m feeling much more confident and grounded.

Before I began your program I couldn’t lose weight. I was feeling stuck even though I worked out 4 times a week. My sleep was interrupted and I wasn’t having consistent bowel movements.

Since starting the metabolic balancing, I’ve lost 11 pounds and I’m feeling much more confident and grounded. The anxiety and negative feelings surrounding my weight are no longer circulating in my mind. I feel more in control of my eating and not like I need to put something in my mouth to fill time. I also enjoy my food more! The two times I’ve had treat meals, I’ve actually craved going back to my plan and healthier options.

Although I’m still in the beginning stages, I feel like I have a path forward to a healthy relationship with nutrition and food. Meals feel manageable and I am more in touch with what my body needs. I know that if I ever go off the rails, I have something to come back to.

I’ve released 33 pounds, kept it off, and I continue to feel better than I could have EVER imagined!

Before diving into Kara’s program, I had tried six different ways to lose weight over the years. I was frustrated by the initial way they worked and then the ultimate ineffectiveness of them for the long term.

Now that I’ve been through Kara’s program, I’ve released 33 pounds, kept it off, and I continue to feel better than I could have EVER imagined! (My pony is also very Proud of me too). I haven’t felt this good in 20+ years!

I’ve also found a whole new sense of freedom and relief when it comes to nutrition. My body’s metabolism has healed and I’m ever so grateful that I said yes to this program!!

If you’re ready to step into your most healthy self, I highly recommend you reach out to Kara.

The impact on my mental health is extraordinary.

I wanted to let you know I feel so much better.

The impact on my mental health is extraordinary.

I can’t ever go back!

Finally found what works for me.

My anxiety is WAY down! I feel emotionally and spiritually stronger than I’ve ever been in the past.

So much has changed since I started on the My Healthy Foundation Program. It’s been a God-send. I used to have swelling and pain in my joints, I used to have to take a prescription for acid reflux following a surgery for a narrowing in my throat, and I used to have anxiety about needing meds to deal with it.

Wow. So much I feel has changed!! I am so thrilled to report that I am NO LONGER ON MY PRESCRIPTION MEDS FOR ACID REFLUX! I never thought that this could happen for me! I could cry!

My anxiety is WAY down! I feel emotionally and spiritually stronger than I’ve ever been in the past. What a huge relief it’s brought to me. I have lost 15+ lbs so far, and MANY inches! Never was I able to do that in other programs, AND be able to stick to it.

I can see myself being the strong person I’ve always wanted to be. I can see that my goals are right within my reach. I just have to keep pushing for me. For my family. I’m so grateful for the tools that have been given to me to get me there.

Thank you!

Kara’s coaching is insightful.

Kara’s coaching is insightful and she has a genuine capacity to help you navigate easily through uncomfortable issues. Her aliveness is inspiring!

Get more happiness and hope out of life.

Kara is a passionate and heartfelt coach who knows how to help her clients see the big picture and get more happiness and hope out of life. She is a powerful and positive coach that I highly recommend.

I am more comfortable and more confident.

Before I started the program I was overweight, bloated, sluggish which led to diminishing quality of life.

Since starting the program, my energy level has increased. The feeling of being bloated along with inflammation are gone. Belief in my ability to maintain this life are strong. Weight loss has been happening although I am eating more food.

I am more comfortable and more confident. I am eating 3 meals a day for first time in my adult life and doing so has forced me to make that time for myself during work day which makes me more productive through the day.

I am going to be able to eat like other people (at least as often) and maintain this weight loss.

After 6 weeks, I’d lost 20 lbs and no longer felt starving between meals. The hypoglycemia is gone!

Before beginning My Healthy Foundation (formally Reset Your Metabolism) program I was ready to give up on lots of aspects of my life. Severe depression, overweight, terrible autoimmune issues and hypoglycemia plagued me.

I decided to sign on with Kara because I’ve tried so many other approaches to healing but nothing worked so I figured what’s one more?

Within two weeks, things started to shift, and after 6 weeks, I’d lost 20 lbs and no longer felt starving between meals. The hypoglycemia is gone!

And mentally the storm that raged inside me full of anxiety and grouchiness passed. I finally feel calm inside and when it rears up again I backtrack to something off plan I ate.

This was and is a life changer for me. I still have a ways to go to heal all the autoimmune issues I developed over the years eating sugar and gluten and alcohol but I finally feel like I’m on the right path to heal and become my happiest self! I love this program and I love Kara I couldn’t do this without her coaching me along, she’s so kind and knowledgeable. I’m hooked!

I feel less bloated and don’t have those sugar dips in the afternoons.

Hi Kara, I have changed my habits thanks to you. I drink more water between meals and eat huge breakfasts and lunches with fat, protein and vegetables. I eat my chocolate with my meals and I don’t snack. We eat butter, cheese and yogurt to our hearts delight. By the time I get to dinner, I’m not as hungry.

I feel less bloated and don’t less of those sugar dips in the afternoons. I haven’t weighed myself but I think its too early to tell if I’ve lost weight. I’m training for a race so I don’t tend to lose weight but build muscle instead. Energy is good though.

Thanks so much for your tips. They really worked!

I haven’t been able to find anyone that has the extensive and deep skill-set that Kara draws from.

Kara is a diamond in the rough, muddled world of health professionals out there. I can’t recommend her enough. She is a gift to your body and your soul. Kara has:

-made me an expert in how to eat and what to eat

-made me feel my body is functioning optimally

-gotten me excited about nutrition

-healed negative thought patterns around body image

-become a trusted consultant and friend in all of my major health decisions

-empowered me to know my body/numbers so well that I feel confident discussing my issues with other health professionals, and can even screen out those that aren’t properly qualified enough to treat me

I came to Kara desperate to learn how to eat right for my body type, and expecting a few tips and some basic knowledge. What I got was so much more, and I had no idea how much I needed it. I had been struggling with my weight for my entire life, tried all the diets, exercised too much, and could never keep the weight off. Kara’s thorough approach revealed I had an auto-immune disease which prevented me from properly metabolizing food, and greatly affected my energy levels. Under her care, I have used diet, supplements, and self-care techniques to get my “numbers” back on track. Not only that, I can now say I have a huge amount of agency over my energy and my body.

Kara is fluent in several languages of health and wellness, including that secret language that we use to talk to ourselves in our heads (the bargaining, the shaming, the fear). She knows how to address that voice and move us into a relationship that makes us thrive, rather than shrivel.

I haven’t been able to find anyone that has the extensive and deep skill-set that Kara draws from, and this is why I’ve kept her in my back pocket over the years. Although I no longer need Kara’s services as they relate to food (because she has educated me so well), I keep her as a go-to health consultant and trusted second opinion. She is so knowledgeable in the realms of science and energy healing that I never proceed with any other treatment before talking to her.

Overall, I feel happier.

I believe being on the program has helped me focus overall…it has brought a renewed discipline to my day and the way I structure it, to my work, to my personal and professional goals, and overall I feel happier – which in itself is a motivating factor to stay focused, push through challenges and adversity, and stay balanced. It has re-proven to myself that I can achieve my goals, and that it is ok to need some structure and support to get there. I feel the program and knowing I have you as a coach when I need it is a successful combination.

So far, I have lost 20 lbs and my high blood pressure has lowered to almost normal levels.

I’ve tried so many different programs for weight loss, and none of them were effective–so I was afraid to invest so much money on another program that (in my mind) might not work.

So far, I have lost 20 lbs and my high blood pressure has lowered to almost normal levels

The best part of the program is that it works! I feel (and look) better than I have in a long time. It was worth every penny! I would and have recommended both you and the metabolic balance® program to anyone who expresses dissatisfaction with their health and/or weight.

I have noticed a huge improvement not only in my physical health but also in my emotional health.

When I first came to Kara, I had incredibly low energy, a lot of anxiety, brain fog, heavy periods that came with debilitating pain, fatigue, heartburn, and headaches. Even though I tried really hard it was impossible for me to lose any weight. I knew something was wrong but even though I went to doctors to try to figure it out, no one was ever able to pinpoint a reason for these symptoms, and I would get dismissed with a “Take 3 Advils on period days and take meds for your anxiety.” I felt really bad most days, which triggered more health anxiety and sent me in spirals.

A lot has changed since we started working together. I lost 15 lbs within the first month! My anxiety has gone down significantly. I have a lot more energy; and the fatigue, dizziness or feeling faint is almost all gone. I have noticed a huge improvement not only in my physical health but also my emotional health. I sleep better. I have better relationships with my friends and family. Overall, I feel better about myself and my negative self talk has decreased significantly.

This is a brand new chapter in my life. I see a future full of opportunities and I am incredibly excited to see what comes next. I feel a lot more prepared to take things on.

I have not only lost 35 pounds, but I have improved my thyroid levels, fixed my insulin resistance, and found some peace around food and my body.

I had gained nearly 40 pounds over 4 years, and really struggled with my blood sugar, emotional eating, and an inability to lose weight despite seeing many doctors and trying many programs. I was also borderline hypothyroid, had diverticulitis flares, and PCOS. I was depressed and devastated, my body felt completely foreign to me.

Since working with Kara, I have not only lost 35 pounds, but I have improved my thyroid levels, fixed my insulin resistance, and found some peace around food and my body. I finally feel like my outside matches my inside, and my confidence in my ability to heal has really skyrocketed. I feel more connected to my life purpose, and more able to deal with stressors without automatically reaching for food.

I have such peace around food, and have a new relationship with alcohol. I feel like the ways I was holding myself back have been uncovered and I feel confident to keep moving forward with my healing.

I am so thrilled to feel like I know how to eat for my body for the rest of my life. I look forward to traveling more comfortably, knowing that I can eat with pleasure and maintain my health simultaneously. I look forward to celebrating my body and my confidence by wearing clothes that make me feel good.

This program was literally a life changer for me.

So much has changed. I feel so much more like myself, I started dating for the first time in years, I have kept a 50-pound weight loss off for over a year, I have been able to eat so many more foods as my intolerances became so much less! And some confidence that my body is in fact resilient when it’s given the proper foods, and correct amounts of foods. I struggled for so many years… This program was literally a life changer for me.

My hot flashes disappeared. I lost more weight than I ever thought possible.

Kara expertly guided me through the Metabolic Balance program with clarity, kindness, and professionalism.

After many months (years) of hot flashes, disrupted sleep, sluggishness, weight gain, brain fog, and feeling really blah, I finally reached out to Kara at the start of the summer. Within a few short weeks, all of this turned around. My hot flashes disappeared. I lost more weight than I ever thought possible. I take no sleep aids and have much better moods and energy.

Kara is amazing and her program and support have been life-changing. I’m so deeply grateful.

My confidence is back!

I was so discouraged! About 8 years ago, three things happened at the same time: I went through menopause, I hurt my knee and had to stop running, and I fell in love with a man who loved to feed me. I tried so many things to lose the weight I had gained, and nothing worked. I would lose a little at first and then “plateau.” It didn’t matter how disciplined I was, how much I exercised, how little food I ate, how much I deprived myself. I felt stuck.

I was also experiencing ongoing health problems, from IBS to joint pain, and general low energy and fatigue. I was so tired all the time, yet had trouble sleeping. I was always hungry as well. It was depressing.

What a change! I have lost about 30 pounds–which was what I wanted–and may not be done. It will be interesting to see where my body ends up. I lost 9 pounds in the first two weeks. The hunger and blood sugar spikes are gone. I have A LOT of energy, and I sleep like a baby.

My confidence is back! I no longer feel self-conscious about how I look. I feel well-equipped for the first time in a very long time. I know how to take care of my body, so it can continue to take good care of me.

Thank you Kara–this has been life-changing!

She knows how to lead those in pain to a place of healing and peace.

Kara is highly intuitive and loving and her tender heart shows through in her coaching. It has been a privilege and an honor to work with and learn from her. She knows just how to lead those in pain to a place of healing and peace.

I got my life back. I got my vibrancy back. I have so much more energy.

I felt stuck. My weight would not budge no matter how hard I tried. I was at my heaviest with no end in sight. I was very fatigued and tired of my weight creeping up. I was aware of the things that I was doing that added to my weight gain but I felt helpless—like I just couldn’t stop. I felt overwhelmed by so many things. I knew what I needed to do, but just felt powerless since every time I tried, I failed.

Since doing this program, I got my life back. I got my vibrancy back. I have so much more energy. have control over the things I used to feel helpless about. I lost almost 30 pounds and feel so much better about myself—my skin glows, my clothes fit the way I want them to and I just feel really good and more confident. I now have the energy I need as a very busy CEO of a rapidly expanding company. I am so much more confident as a leader. I can now successfully navigate my way through feeling overwhelmed. I allow people to support me now, which has opened my life up to so much more freedom and true success!

My future feels really bright 🙂 I feel like I have these amazing tools in my back pocket I can use at any time I desire or if I’m feeling like I’m going off course. It’s so much easier now to take back control of the reigns when life gets busy. Life just feels so much lighter and easier and I look forward to each day!

I am 10 pounds lighter, sleep better and have more energy than ever before.

Before I started the program with Kara, I struggled with numerous health issues that I had no idea were directly attributed to my diet. The biggest struggle was my acne prone skin and my inability to fully balance my hormones. I also suffered from low blood sugar attacks and was constantly hungry. I would bring snacks into work meetings because my stomach growled if I went more than 2 hours without eating. I also dealt with stomach aches on a regular basis and digestion issues.

All of this changed after starting the program. I am 10 pounds lighter, sleep better and have more energy than ever before. I rarely have stomach issues (only if I don’t follow my plan) and never have to worry about my stomach growling or snacking between meals. Most importantly, my skin has cleared up. I was hesitant at first and thought how can simple changes to my diet have such a huge impact my overall health, but I had no idea how specialized the program was for each person. The food plan I was assigned consists of foods that I really enjoy eating and I’ve never felt as nourished and satisfied by my diet as I do now. The is something I’ll continue for the rest of my life. I can’t imagine eating and feeling differently.

In the first month I lost 10 lbs!!!

When I first started working with Kara (and her program), I had literally tried EVERYTHING I could think of to try to get back to my healthy weight. I had eliminated sugar, wheat and dairy and worked with a health coach and had still only managed to lose 10 lbs over a year. I was so frustrated that nothing was working.

When Kara told me that while working with her my hormones would become balanced and even my hypoglycemia would go away I did not believe her, but I was more than willing to give her program a try. In the first month I lost 10 lbs!!! I was so excited. As promised even my hypoglycemia symptoms went away and I’ve never felt better.

I have lost a total of 25 lbs (a lot for my 5’2″ frame) and I have never felt better, I highly recommend working with Kara and her program.

I can’t believe I am not snacking!

I can’t believe I am not snacking! I used to be the queen of snacking! Sometimes I even forget and go almost 6 hours and I’m still fine! When I’m hungry, it’s just something I notice and not something that feels like an emergency. I’m obviously not binge eating at night either which is another miracle unto itself. I never thought I’d escape that!

Thank you for your work on my sugar addiction.

Thank you for your work on my sugar addiction. It has definitely been a different feeling (yet not so different feeling) not having a pull to the sugar. I’ve had opportunity to order desserts and I’ve declined because it just doesn’t interest me whatsoever. Additionally, I have eaten a little sugar and had no thoughts about the fact I did it until I reviewed my day before sleep. Wonderfully weird indeed!

Your expertise and healing knowledge have made such a difference in my life.

Just a few words of gratitude for all your kind help throughout the year. Your expertise and healing knowledge have made such a difference in my life. Seeking that all too difficult to find healthy balance is made easier with you. I look forward to working with you this coming year.

The beauty of this program is that the reward comes very fast.

I was working out 6-7 days/week, and eating low cal healthy foods, while still gaining weight. I was tired of being a slave to food. Re-setting my metabolism makes sense – I can continue exercising and eating right and reap the benefits of staying slim.

I am happy that I can fit into my favorite pants again, and I am mad that I have to buy new work clothes, since they are too big for me now. And this is all in the first 3 weeks of the program! I lost several inches and 80% of my weight loss goal in the first two weeks of starting the program. I am not hungry and hardly ever think about food.

I like not feeling hungry and enjoying the foods that I prepare for myself. In addition, I have a lot of energy. I like that I have control over food and weight and the fact that I am learning a lifestyle, not a fad. Working with you, I enjoy your enthusiasm and support during my progress. You are there for the ups and downs and want to have the right solution for all the issues that may come up

I was afraid that it might be very stringent in what types of food I can eat and the fact that I had to weigh food. I was also skeptical that this may be another failed attempt on my part to achieve weight loss. As for the program, people should know that it helps them for EVER. It is not a short term solution, but a life change. They should know that they would need to buckle up for few weeks and work hard at first, but the beauty of this program is that the reward comes very fast.

I would highly recommend this program for anyone who struggled like me.

I really can’t remember feeling this well.

I feel great, less anxious, the roller coaster has turned into a kiddie ride, sleeping very well, no heartburn, gas, etc. I really can’t remember feeling this well.
