Our Philosophy

The H Lyfe Method Approach

I help clients learn how lifestyle factors affect cortisol and adrenal function, stomach acid and insulin resistance and ultimately how they affect each person’s ability to achieve their ideal health and weight. It even means helping clients make major changes such as finding a new career path or even gently helping them recognize and remove their own roadblocks to provide a more balanced life.

As a lifelong entrepreneur, I’ve been in the thick of running small businesses and burning the candle at both ends. I understand the challenges of trying to lead a healthy lifestyle while juggling a busy work life. In my programs, many times we have to dive deep and find ways of creating balance and harmony so ultimately your health can flourish. The magic lies in helping you fix what you may have thought to be unfixable and helping guide you to self healing. The H Lyfe Method is not just another “flip you a meal plan” platform.

The 4 Pillars of Health

It’s not just about food… Understanding the whole person and their daily habits is what makes The H Lyfe Method so successful. Part of complete nutrition includes understanding how sleep, emotions, work/life balance and setting boundaries all play a roll in achieving ideal health and weight. As a woman in my 40s, I’m passionate about a concept I like to call “Aging Youthfully.” I believe you can continue to do all the the things you love well into your 80s and even 90s if you properly fuel and condition your body. Individualized nutrition, fitness that’s right for your body type, developing a strong mind, a sense of self and healthy boundaries are all part of the tools and skills you’ll develop in The H Lyfe Method programs.

About Microbiome Testing

For most clients, a quick and easy microbiome test can provide life-changing information about what foods work best in conjunction with your own unique microbiome. This simple home test can provide insight into what foods to eat, avoid and how your body processes and breaks down food. Ever feel bloated after eating Brussel Sprouts? This test will tell you why. Feel lethargic after eating steak or can’t understand why certain vegetables make you feel terrible? Microbiome testing will get to the bottom of it and even provide strategies to potentially bring those foods back in at a later date.

When you efficiently digest food, your metabolism optimizes. Microbiome testing can not only be helpful in resolving issues like IBS, bloating, constipation and inflammation, it can also be a key tool in weight loss.

“Holly is awesome. She knows her stuff and really cares. I have worked with her for 6 months. Following the initial consultation, lab work, and a gut analysis, she made several recommendations. My bloating was gone overnight once I eliminated certain foods and added a couple supplements. Total life changer, and she has given me the tools to stick with it. Call her!”

- Jeffrey R

No More Guessing What To Eat.

If you’ve tried every diet under the sun (Keto, Vegan, Paleo, Carnivore, etc.) and want to stop the guesswork forever, microbiome testing will give you crystal clear answers on exactly what to eat for optimum health.

If you’re completely over:

  • being overwhelmed by conflicting information from experts
  • not knowing what foods are best for you personally
  • not understanding why a diet that worked for someone else isn’t working for you
  • not knowing how to cook meals that fit your dietary requirements
  • needing accountability/feedback/tracking
  • having a lack of experience with nutrition and/or fitness training
  • not knowing how to eat well on a budget

Then The H Lyfe Method Microbiome Plan is the best option for you!

View Food As Medicine

Eating the right food isn’t just about a lean physique. When you view food as medicine, that’s when the healing begins and many times, other conditions must first be addressed prior to focusing on weight loss. (if shedding pounds is your goal.) I offer nutrition programs to help support the improvement and self healing of:

  • Autoimmune conditions (Hashimotos/Thyroid)
  • Insulin Resistance and Metabolic Disease
  • PCOS/Perimenopause/Menopause
  • Digestive Disorders (IBS, SIBO, Ulcerative Colitis)
  • Arthritis
  • Type 2 Diabetes
  • Heart and Kidney Disease
  • Fatty Liver
  • Recurring UTIs, BV and Candida
  • Eating Disorders

No. Not initially. We believe in first creating a healthy relationship with food and gradually feeding in and feeding out the foods that work best for your body.

Some days you may not be in the mood for a specific meal on a specific day and that’s where programs fail. We also teach you how to gauge portions of each suggested meal so if you’re more hungry at lunch than dinner, you can eat a larger portion of that meal and a light portion of your dinner meal. It’s all about being flexible.
