I started working with Leah years ago. As Leah has pointed out throughout our work, your weight is not everything but it's one data point to consider. Since then, my life has been nothing short of being transformed. I have more energy, I am happier on a regular basis, I have more respect for myself, and my life has never been more exciting. Not to mention, I have lost 12 pounds as of today. She has taught me how to take care of myself on a much more holistic level. She has an approach that does not make you feel guilty when you make mistakes. She starts each session by asking “what's new and good?” At the start of our work, this question frightened me, but now I can answer positively and confidently.

Thank you for being an inspiration, Leah. Because of you I have eaten a better meal today than I otherwise might have. My growing counter collection of seeds and nuts makes me happy, and my clean and simplified and organized cabinets calm me. Thank you for your help, guidance, encouragement and knowledge.

Attending the Chia Leah Fall Workshop was like hitting the "reset button" to getting back on track and making healthy choices for myself and family. I left the workshop with tools to help me organize my kitchen better, recipes to make smarter meals for my family and a stronger understanding of foods that help body and improve energy levels. The class empowered me to want to make a change!

You delivered one of the best lifestyle talks I have heard. I attended one of the few medical schools that had a course on human nutrition in the 1980s. It is a topic that fascinates me. To integrate it with sleep and exercise is revelatory! Kudos to you for blazing this trail and sharing your knowledge with the community!
