Hello there! I’m Heather Shuker. I am a Nurse Practitioner turned health coach.
My passion in life after successfully losing 80 pounds through intermittent fasting, low carb eating, and exercise is to help others do the same. I believe the missing link in most people’s weight loss journey is support. I attribute my own weight loss success to having a coach and now I provide that service to others.
My Story
I was overweight my whole life. Literally. I was a fat baby and stayed that way. My first nickname was butterball. (They got worse by middle school.) Then, at age 46, I lost 80 pounds with low carb eating and intermittent fasting with the help of a coach. I’ve kept the weight off (+/- 5 pounds!) for 3.5 years. (Hooray!)
After my weight loss success, I tried to teach my primary care patients how to do what I did but there was never enough time. So, I did what was completely terrifying for a Gen X woman with a lifetime of body image issues, I started a YouTube channel to teach what I know.
Help me, Heather!
