I used to hit a wall after 25 miles on my road bike. I would get so fatigued that I had to take the SAG wagon back from a 30-mile organized ride. I’ve been working with Liz for several months and was able to finish a 72-mile ride around Lake Tahoe, feeling good the whole way!!
She helped me find electrolytes that wouldn’t upset my stomach and assisted me in monitoring my sugar and protein snacks along the way. I am so thankful to be able to enjoy bike riding with my friends!

Liz takes an individual approach to each client and if you are looking for nutritional guidance she is a great asset. I had switched to a vegetarian diet, but had not made appropriate adjustments to ensure that my new vegetarian diet matched with my lifestyle (weightlifting, biking, snowboarding, etc.). Liz helped me increase my protein intake in a healthy way while sticking to my vegetarian diet. Additionally, she shifted my fiber intake away from costly and poorly absorbed supplements to food options.
I am thankful for Liz helping me lower my A1C below prediabetic range and put on over 5 pounds of muscle mass.

Liz changed my life! After years of being dismissed by endless doctors, I reached out to Liz as a last effort to find answers for some very severe gastro issues.
She was the only person who listened to me, believed me, and worked with me to find the root cause and build a healthier gut. I'm so thankful for her patience, empathy, and knowledge. Working with her has truly transformed my life and I'm so happy to have found her! Can't recommend enough!
Thank you for everything you do!!

Three years ago I was diagnosed with type II diabetes. I was eating anything (especially anything with sugar!) and my weight was dropping! My blood sugar was very high and my HbA1C was 15.7%!
I was scared: my eye sight was failing, I didn't feel well, but I did not want to have to take insulin. So I started to work on diet and exercising regularly but that wasn't enough! Despite my efforts, I had to accept that I needed to be on medication to help support my body.
As I started to feel better, I fell back into old habits - Snickers bars, candy, soda and anything with sugar! But over time, I realized this was going to get me back to where I was when first diagnosed.
Before I met with Liz, I was taken off of my diabetes medications because I had made several changes to my diet and exercise patterns. I thought I was doing well, but there was room for even more improvements.
I was 215 lbs and was still experiencing fluctuations in blood sugars, largely because of the types of foods I was eating.
In the past 4 months since working with Liz, I lost 30 lbs from eating and training smarter. I am feeling better than ever, and can even tell when my blood sugars are high or low...
I have signed up to run my first half marathon this summer!
I couldn't be more thankful and appreciate Liz's guidance in seeing (and feeling) the effects of a healthier eating and exercise plan!

We have nothing but praise for Liz Daeninck.
She has been instrumental in helping us navigate through our challenges while developing a healthy lifestyle. Liz is skilled, knowledgeable, and very caring. She understands that one size does not fit all and is perceptive to the differences in clients by proficiently customizing a plan and approach for their needs and personality.
You never feel like Liz is judgmental, she helps you with solutions when you are having difficulty. She helped us find the balance of a healthy lifestyle by implementing nutrition AND exercise.
Seeking professional help was so beneficial to us, especially with Liz.
She is the epitome of a healthy, happy, vibrant individual…she makes you want to succeed!

SHIFT FROM SICKNESS TO WELLNESS
With it being Thanksgiving, I reflect on the blessings in my life and YOU are among them! Thank you for your guidance and walking the journey with me...the road forward from identifying with sickness to embracing wellness and owning my part in that process.
I will honor the lessons learned and cherish the gift of wellness!
Thank you Liz for guiding me in this process!

It has been a gift and I have been blessed to have Liz as my coach as I journeyed through work, retirement, learning of my husband's disease, while all the time shedding a few tears, mustering up courage to take the next steps that I needed to take and work at "my life, one step at a time!"
I believe I have and am continuing to do that...focusing on my well-being, my physical and mental well-being and trying to find a balance...this is a daily task...eating well, moving my body and focusing on spiritual practices daily...it is called prioritizing myself and my health..every..single..day! This is not being selfish, this is being grounded as who I am and who I want to be on a daily basis...which is in the best interest for ME.
"loving myself while doing unto others as you would have them do to you," loving, showing kindness to others.
Thank you Liz!
