I had been suffering from chronic bloating and constipation continuously for about 14 months prior to starting my 1:1 nutritional coaching with Gabrielle. I’ve always been an energetic, happy kind of person but my symptoms quickly changed that. It was very uncomfortable which turned me in to a grumpy hermit, avoiding as many social activities as possible. I didn’t want people seeing me and thinking I was pregnant. Training was becoming very difficult. I have seen many professionals, including, multiple general practitioners, a gastroenterologist, a naturopath and a dietician. Costing me thousands of dollars. I would be holding back tears as each one would tell me the same thing… increase your fibre and water intake and follow a low FODMAP diet, all of which I had done with no success. Name a fibre supplement, stool softener or laxative and I’ve probably tried it. I had just about given up when I came across a podcast featuring Gabrielle and her knowledge on gut health. Once I found that Gabrielle does coaching with RP I instantly starting hunting down her website and haven’t turned back since. I am now four weeks in to my 1:1 with Gabrielle and my symptoms have eased tremendously. A bad day of bloating now is what would have been considered a ‘good’ day before. Sometimes it’s not just about cutting to a certain weight or getting stronger. Sometimes its just about being a happy, healthy you.

I decided to try 1:1 coaching with Gabrielle after doing coaching with someone else for a year. I learned some great things with the previous coach and learned to track macros and that I didn’t have to starve myself or completely stay away from certain food, however, I was no longer progressing. After hearing great things about RP I decided to try out 3 months. Gabrielle has been great because she has always answered every single question. I can email anytime and she also responds within a reasonable time. She listened to my goals and created a nutrition template customized for me, and changed it as needed. I was able to go from 156 lbs to 144 (with cheats in there like a all inclusive 8 day vacation lol). I know I could have done better if I stuck to the plan 100%, but I still got great results because I followed the nutrition and workouts 90%, and actually have not been this lean in a few years. Gabrielle helped me understand how the template worked since I was so used to counting macros, and honestly I love the template better than just counting macros because it’s easy and makes food prep easy.  Because I was so happy with my results, and the communication and coaching that I have with Gabrielle, I extended my 1:1 coaching to a year and can’t wait to see results of my year long journey 🙂 I’ve had online coaches over the years, but this is by far my best experience! I’m currently maintaining for over a month now and have stayed within 2 lbs which I’m pretty happy with.
