TESTIMONIAL

I started with the Revive program with Lauren after a pretty unexpected health complications that threw all of my fitness and nutrition plans up in the air as I was exceptionally limited on what I could tolerate and was eating about half the intake I needed. It wasn't any fun at all. Lauren helped me to feel sane again, to have grace with myself and to figure out how to eat within my limitations so that I could stop losing weight and start doing some of the fitness that I love. At the end of Revive I wasn't cured. I still have this condition but by the end of our 3 months I was able to feel normal(ish) again. I always tell folks in my work that a facet of recovery is when the diagnosis or symptom is no longer the thing driving - it may still be a passenger or backseat driver but when life becomes about more than the illness there is recovery. That was my big goal for using revive- not necessarily to solve or cure the issue which may not be curable but to learn to live with it and be able to function again. I am at that place now and have moved into lifestyle with Lauren and working on lifting and running and being me again.
