Coaching

“I would recommend you to every single person I know.”

*PLEASE NOTE: for the fastest response, please EMAIL me at info (at) maryvancenc (dot) com so we can set up a time to discuss my coaching services. Thank you.

My philosophy is simple: eat real food! I help people reverse chronic illness, feel better, and become the healthiest version of themselves. I work with clients in person in my office in San Francisco or all over the U.S. via Skype. If you’re frustrated with bouncing around from doctor to doctor, and you still don’t feel like you’re on the right track, you’ve landed on the right page. Please, read on.

There is so much conflicting info about health and nutrition out there that it’s hard to know where to begin.
My main goal is to shatter the mainstream nutrition and health myths we all grew up with: you know, fat free diet food and popping pills to mask your symptoms. If you think consulting with a nutritionist means deprivation and dieting, boy have I got news for you! (Here’s a teaser: Butter is a health food!)  When given the right foods, the body has an amazing ability to heal and rebalance.

Do you struggle with chronic health issues you want to reverse? Autoimmune conditions or digestive issues? Have you been wanting to lose weight, embark on a cleanse, or just plain get healthier, but you don’t know how to take the first step? Or would you like to discover what foods you should be eating and receive personalized attention dedicated to improving your health & lifestyle? Contact me today for a complimentary 20 minute consult to discuss your concerns and goals, and I’ll tell you how my programs can help.

I specialize in addressing hypothyroid concerns and helping women lose weight, gain energy, and overcome hormonal imbalance, infertility, PMS, painful periods, and digestive issues like bloating, candida, constipation, heartburn, Crohn’s, and IBS, but I welcome all clients. My holistic approach goes beyond nutrition to address the whole person, and we determine the underlying causes of your health conditions rather than simply addressing the symptoms.

Our consultation goes far deeper than improving your diet. I use a holistic model that looks at your lifestyle, exercise, and sources of stress, and I use saliva, stool and metabolic testing in my practice to help pinpoint deficiencies so I can design a personalized, healing protocol for you. Address your health concerns and find out if any one of my programs is right for you.

Although I don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach, I am well versed in the Paleo Diet model and have seen first hand the dramatic positive health changes that result from kicking grains! If you would like more coaching or direction with your Paleo plan, I can help you.

If you are a vegetarian and aren’t sure it’s the right diet for you, or if you have gained weight or experienced digestive problems on a vegetarian plan, I can help you.

• If you are struggling with infertility or want to have a healthy pregnancy, I can help you!
• If you struggle with hypothyroid or autoimmune issues, I can help you!
• If you are getting ready for a wedding or any other special event, I can help you!
• Digestive issues? Crohn’s? IBS? I can help you too!

PRIVATE CONSULTS

I offer three- or six-month coaching packages, or you have the option to go month-to-month. Both packages include a 90 minute intake and 50-minute follow up sessions. Or if you’d just like one-time advice about your diet, we can set up an a la carte 25 or 50 minute phone session. Contact me to discuss which package is right for you.

*Eleven 50 minute follow-up sessions, 2 per month
*Full metabolic body composition analysis, if you desire: calculates your weight, body mass index, caloric needs, body fat percentage, hydration level
*Weekly 15 minute phone check-ins
*Diet analysis & customized health plan after each session
*Test & supplement recommendations

This program is for you if:
*you are struggling to lose weight, or just can’t lose those last 10 pounds
*you have trouble getting out of bed in the mornings and reach for coffee to get going
*you are exhausted all day long
*you have painful periods or PMS
*recently diagnosed with thyroid disease
*you want to fix your digestive problems – FOR GOOD!
*you have tried everything else and feel exhausted and fed up
*you have acne, eczema, or psoriasis
*you just don’t know what you should be eating
*you want to prepare for healthy pregnancy & baby

Is it possible to change your life in just six months? The answer is YES! I guarantee that you will lose weight (if that is your goal), double your energy, and improve your digestion in these six months with me.

Be aware – this is NOT just another diet. This is a lifestyle makeover. You will uncover the hidden reasons for your health concerns rather than just treating the symptoms. You will learn what foods are right for your physiology (one diet does not fit all!) and how to eat and live holistically. Learn to balance your blood sugar, fix hormonal imbalances that sabotage your weight loss efforts and cause fatigue, and break sugar and caffeine addictions. It’s not just a question of willpower – there arephysiological reasons for your cravings, and we can fix that.

What you will get in six months:
*personalized diet and lifestyle plan
*handouts with indispensable information to support your plan
*countless recipes
*lose (or normalize) weight
*better energy
*reduce stress and learn techniques to handle the stress in your life
*clear, beautiful skin
*improved digestion
*a full-body cleanse protocol
*better immunity
*longevity & vitality

BUT – this program is NOT for everyone. If you expect a magic bullet, you will be disappointed. I will coach you every step of the way, and it is my job to keep you motivated, but expect that this will take work on your part.
