Andrea was born in Tokyo and always had a healthy lifestyle until she left home and had to fend for herself. Her family was extremely healthy and by default so was Andrea as she didn't have to think about it. However when she left home and then got married she was all over the place and put on 30 pounds!

She "Googled" how to lose weight and other popular searches before realizing that none of these provided a long term solution. She became frustrated and therefore decided to put together a step by step plan on how to gain unwavering confidence and to live happy lives without the stress of what the world is telling them they "have" to do.

The current pandemic has accentuated this situation because we are restricted on where we can go and therefore the tendency is to sit on the couch and snack.

Andrea shares her 5-step framework that helps her clients to Master Their Thoughts, Understand Their Heart and Optimize Their Health.

Realize
Identify
Optimize
Overcome
Momentum

Her process helps her clients to move away from fixating on what the scale says to a place where they can overcome any problem that they have. It starts by developing the right mindset because without this, nothing that you try will stick.

Andrea describes how she hired a life coach who told her that anything she is experiencing can be fixed by what is in your head. At the time Andrea didn't believe that this would work for health until she started to see results in other areas of her life. Once she believed this could work she saw her health improve.

Andrea doesn't believe in dieting and removing the food items that you enjoy so how does this work?

When your self worth is not tied to how you look it doesn't matter what you look like and therefore you remove stress that is associated with weight. You are effectively using your mental energy for things that are more productive. While this does sound bizarre, it works!

Intuitive eating is a huge deal and this is why Andrea does not provide specific meal plans with her program. She does help create nutrition plans and provides recipes but what and when you eat is your choice. When you know that you can eat whatever you want it takes away the craving, almost tricking your mind into eating healthy.

Andrea has both an online course and coaching to help guide her clients through the process of applying her principals, She also provides a free eBook which you can download through the link below.

These principals work for any age so it is something that can be used for families to become healthier in all aspects of their lives. Remember that there is no "quick fix" to living a healthier lifestyle. While you can get results after one coaching session you will experience increasing benefits the longer you practice.
