Her journey
Janet began her own holistic health journey in 1999. After struggling with her weight, she lost approximately 50 pounds in 10 months and has maintained a healthy weight since.
She graduated from the Academy of Natural Healing in 2007, where she studied nutrition and lifestyle transformation.
In 2009, Janet owned and operated a smoothie club where she organized weight-loss challenges and helped clients work toward healthier lifestyles. She also worked in a doctor's office assisting patients with nutritional choices.
In 2011, she wrote and published New Carolina Healthy Alternative Cookbook, selling approximately 100 copies.
Her philosophy is not centered on temporary diets. It is about helping people make realistic lifestyle changes they can maintain.
