I have struggled with a chronic condition for over a decade with the last four years being very painful and discouraging. After much debating, I decided to sign up for a coaching program with NEW U. I needed a fresh start, a time to regroup and gain some control of my health after multiple surgeries and setbacks. Though it was intimidating at first, I could not be happier that I made my commitment. Amy met me right where I was. She didn’t try to fix my disease; rather she worked with me to try to figure out what worked with my body and condition. She encouraged me, gave me ideas, answered questions, and supported me in many ways on my health journey. In a few short months I have reaped so many benefits: fewer flare-ups from my condition, weight loss, muscle gain, and toning, a renewed desire to exercise, significantly improved gut health, better sleep, and an increased knowledge of food and interest in my diet. One of the biggest things I have experienced firsthand is that you don’t have to be perfect to make serious progress, and that has been incredibly encouraging for a woman my age with my condition. I am so thankful I did this and am thankful for Amy and Jen.
