Weight Loss Testimony

A little over 2 years ago I decided to improve my diet. I was slowly gaining weight year after and when I looked at how many of my coworkers had become overweight and were suffering from health issues that can be helped with proper diet, I wanted to make a big change. I had tried before but was never able to stick with it on my own. On a whim, I asked my Chef Mae to cook for me. I knew this was something she was good at and hoped she would enjoy it as well.

She far exceeded my expectations. As I learned more about nutrition and asked her to make changes according to my tastes, she was often one step ahead of me. She enjoyed the challenge when I changed from a diet based on the paleo concept, to vegan, to whole food plant based. She learned my likes and dislikes and modified recipes to suit my tastes while researching nutrition. I effortlessly lost 20 pounds and never felt even the slightest bit deprived. Even though I thought I was healthy when I started, I began to notice I had more energy and that some minor aches disappeared.

I was sad to see her move away, but the fact that my results with her help exceeded my expectations has motivated me to continue this journey. I also learned a lot from her that helps me stay on the path she cleared for me. Several other people also miss her as I would occasionally ask her to make something healthy when I was attending a potluck or feeding a group of people for some other reason. People were amazed that she could make such healthy food delicious. I continue to lose weight and enjoy the other benefits I saw with her as my chef. In the past I would have tired of the effort required to buy and prepare so much fresh food and would have started to drift back to my old habits.

Wellness Education Testimony

I am delighted to share the positive wellness experiences my husband and I had with Coach Mae!

In August 2018, I asked Coach Mae to come by our home because I wanted to understand the food my husband and I were putting into our bodies. Coach Mae went through my kitchen pantry; looking at each item’s ingredients. I was shocked at all the chemicals, preservatives, sugars, salt, and unhealthy fats that were in product after product! When she asked me if these were the types of things we wanted to put in our body, the answer was obvious. It was eye-opening to know that I could simply read the labels of nearly every product to see what it contains. Now we carefully read the labels before we buy our food!

She also encouraged us to consider changing some of our other dietary foods that we thought were healthy.

After several educational sessions with her, I begin to lose weight and gain energy! My husband benefited even more! He felt so much better that he eventually was able—in consultation with his doctor, minimize his medications—which he has been using for nearly 20 years!

In short, Coach Mae showed us how to take back our health! We now use her principles as a matter of routine. Her motto is, “When you know better; you do better!”

Thanks Coach Mae for coming into our lives and sharing your knowledge with us!

Health & Wellness Coaching Testimony

Coach Mae’s coaching has positively touched many areas of my life. The most recent one is that I was told by my Doctor that I was going blind. To say the least, I felt like it put a dent in my foundations and dreams.

The doctors said that the source of my partial blindness was caused by having Diabetes and Glaucoma. My doctor said that having surgery would remove the blockage. When I first received my diagnosis about possible blindness my first thought was to call Mae.

I told her the situation and she gave me some guidelines to change in my lifestyle. Her coaching with me was to change my way of diet, exercise, and meditation
immediately.

I’m proof that her coaching works.

I had an appointment in two weeks to see the eye surgeon. The first doctor said that I could put drops in my eyes, or take pills, or have surgery.

In between those two weeks that I was following the guidelines that Mae had given me I began to see changes. I couldn’t see even bright lighting. I realize now that the lighting was dull until I started the Lifestyle Change. I was driving on the freeway one day on my way to an on-ramp and it felt like something popped out of my eye and flew over to the passenger side. Strangely enough, I felt better afterwards.

A few days after that I went in for my appointment with the retina specialist. And they took a new set of x-rays. When I went in to talk with the specialist, I saw him look at the x-rays and then he scooted closer to the x-rays like he didn’t believe what he was seeing and then he looked into my eyes.

He then said, “You were bought in here to be set up for surgery.” Which was a shock to me.

Then the specialist said, “There’s no surgery needed for you.”

He then pulled up the previous x-rays and compared both of them together so that I can see. He said, “The swelling has gone down. Whatever you’re doing, keep on doing it. I’ll see you in about three months for follow-up.”

Thank You Coach Mae for allowing God to use You to Bless my Life!
