THE CUSTOMIZED APPROACH TO
FAT LOSS AND BETTER HEALTH

WEIGHT LOSS

You don’t need to rely on supplements, eat pre-packaged food, or avoid carbs to lose weight. We teach you how to eat the foods you enjoy and love while achieving your weight loss goals!

INFLAMMATION

Inflammation is the root cause of many chronic illnesses. All of our programs provide a customized approach to reducing inflammation and unlocking the key to optimizing health.

Be coached and mentored by nutritionist, author, researcher, scientist, NAACP nominee, and creator of the Diet Free Life methodology, Robert Ferguson.

FOOD AS MEDICINE

Our "food as medicine" methodology is a scientifically validated approach to nutrition that reduces inflammation, optimizes the gut microbiome, and helps reverse chronic diseases.

Restore Your Nutrition Gap!
Our modern diet is deficient in key nutrients, leading to nearly 99% of adults and children consuming too many omega-6s (from vegetable seed oils) and not enough omega-3s.

The Balance 120 program includes the Balance Test, a validated dried blood spot (DBS) test that delivers accurate and reliable insights into your fatty acid levels, presented in a detailed 20-page lab report. As part of the program, I provide guidance to help you understand your results. It also features BalanceOil+, a unique blend of polyphenols and omega-3 fatty acids.

BALANCE 120

"As a nutritionist, health, and weight loss coach, I am deeply aware of the nutrition gap affecting so many people today. That’s why I prioritize testing my clients' omega levels and recommending BalanceOil+. It’s a solution that not only makes sense but truly delivers results!" - Susy Lopez

  •  🔥 Burn More Fat

It's Time To Succeed Like Never Before!

Question: Why begin with a FREE consultation?
Answer: Before committing to any of our programs, I want to ensure you're well-informed and that what I offer is aligned with your lifestyle. While my programs have helped thousands of people lose weight and improve their overall health, I never take a one-size-fits-all approach. Each plan (or challenge) is tailored to meet the unique needs and lifestyle of my clients.
Question: What kind of results can be expected with the initial program?
Answer: Each person is unique, and results may vary. In just six weeks, some of my clients have lost up to 43 pounds (for men) and 33 pounds (for women). While weight loss is a common result, many of my clients are thrilled to discover how to eliminate the need for medications and improve their overall health, all while never feeling deprived or restricted by a diet.
