Frequently Asked Questions
How long before I see results?
Most clients begin noticing improvements in energy levels within 1-2 weeks. Visible physical changes typically appear within 4-6 weeks, depending on consistency and individual metabolism. Long-term sustainable results develop over 3-6 months with proper adherence to your personalized plan.
Are your plans suitable for dietary restrictions?
Absolutely! We specialize in customizing plans for various dietary needs including vegan, vegetarian, keto, gluten-free, dairy-free, and more. Each plan is tailored to your specific preferences, allergies, and lifestyle choices while ensuring complete nutritional balance.
Do I need to count calories?
Not necessarily. While some clients benefit from calorie awareness, our holistic approach focuses on whole food quality, portion awareness, and intuitive eating principles. We work with you to find the method that best fits your lifestyle and preferences.
How often will I meet with my coach?
Coaching frequency depends on your selected plan. Our programs offer weekly, bi-weekly, and monthly check-ins. Most clients start with bi-weekly sessions and adjust based on their progress and needs. You'll also have email and messaging support between sessions.
What if I have medical conditions?
We work closely with healthcare providers. If you have existing medical conditions, we recommend getting clearance from your physician. Our coaches are trained to create plans compatible with common conditions like diabetes, hypertension, and PCOS, while always recommending professional medical consultation when needed.
Can I cancel my plan anytime?
Yes, we offer flexible cancellation policies. Most plans can be paused or cancelled with 7 days' notice. We believe in working with clients who are ready and motivated, and we're happy to discuss your options if circumstances change. See our full Terms of Service for specific details.
