UNDERSTANDING HEALTHY LIFE FACTORS

Identify Bio-Profile

Every individual reacts differently to food based on their unique bio-profile, which evolves over time. By understanding your body’s current needs, we can create a dietary and lifestyle plan that responds flexibly to changes in your life and environment, ensuring your health stays optimized.

Deconstruct Cravings

Cravings are not just whims; they’re important messages that your body sends about its needs. By identifying what your body truly requires—from missing nutrients to improved sleep or physical and emotional fulfillment—we can streamline your diet and lifestyle to fulfill these needs, helping you achieve balance and make healthier choices.

Crowding Out

Instead of focusing on restricting foods, I emphasize adding beneficial foods to your diet. By increasing intake of the right foods, less healthy choices will naturally become less appealing. This approach helps your body adjust and begin to prefer what’s truly nourishing.

Testimonials

Hear from clients who have transformed their lives with the help of Alisa’s coaching. Their stories are a testament to the power of personalized health strategies and supportive coaching.

Alisa Turner worked with me as a life coach for six months in 20016 and 2017. She was a great inspiration to me and taught me a lot about balance in my life.

I have fibromyalgia and suffer from anxiety. I also have high blood pressure. I am on many medicines that affect my weight and digestive issues. Alisa was helpful in finding ways to help curb my anxiety using techniques such as meditation and breathing techniques. She also educated me on how unhealthy prepackaged products are that I was eating. She taught me how to eat healthier foods that were natural, and saw a positive difference in how my digestive system reacted after eating healthier. I also saw some loss of weight. I continue to struggle with this issue, but I refer back to recipes and advice that Alisa gave me to get on track. I do not enjoy cooking, but she gave me simple recipes and alternatives to my husband’s cooking that were easy to make.

Working with Alisa I saw that I needed to have a balance in not only my diet and mental state of being, but also in my relationships with others, my physical activity, and spirituality. As time has gone on I have seen more balance in several areas of my life. My family relationships have improved and physically I am able to participate in my first triathlon at 54 years old in a few weeks. I have felt pretty strong spiritually in the past, but see that my relationship with God has deepened as well.

I am very thankful for the time Alisa spent with me and highly recommend her to others who want to find a more balanced life

Gina Fennell

My top three goals starting the program was to lose the baby weight, eat healthier and better, and to have more confidence in myself.

Alisa was able to help me work towards these goals by going step by step and taking time to really make sure I was ready to go forward into my goals even when I did not think I was ready. She guided me through a time in my life and made the experience so much fun.

The tangible change I noticed is my confidence in myself and learning what my needs are and listening to my body.

The biggest change I have noticed is eating healthy but in more of an organic way. It doesn’t feel like i’m ever on a diet. I just feel like I’m eating better without trying. Alisa slowly introduced healthier eating habits to a point that I did not realize I changed my diet completely. Such a smooth transition.

Courtney Burgess

I met Alisa when I was having a low in life. After our first meeting, I knew I met the right person to help get my life back in order. Alisa didn’t just help with my nutritional health, she also helped me with my mental health. She has given me the courage to get back back into therapy, to try foods, and exercises that I never would have tried before.

Any time I am feeling down, she has given me the tools and knowledge to get back on track! I would recommend her to anyone!

Lindsey Marcoff

My top Top 3 goals upon starting the 6 month program were making better food and life choices, and finding a better work/life balance

Alisa worked with me to diagnose unhealthy foods for my body, focus on simple strategies for better food, simplify and prioritize my life and recognize the connection between life choices and physical consequences Weight loss, more energy, no food comas, better sleep, more active were the benefits of reaching my goals. What I really learned to do was being able to listen to my body and respond accordingly. I would recommend Alisa Turner to anyone struggling in this modern world to keep up, and find peace and balance amid all of life’s chaos.
