Courtney wanted to take permanent action with losing weight and getting healthy. She had tried many different programs in the past, and even though they all brought her some measure of success, she always gained the weight back.
Courtney also suffers from irregular periods caused by polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a hormone condition that affects fertility. One of the causes of PCOS is unbalanced insulin levels; Courtney’s doctor advised her that losing weight could help her balance insulin levels and conceive a baby.
Since she wanted a sustainable way to lose weight, she sought the help of Baltazar Villanueva. She needed a coach to keep her on track with her nutrition, and help her be more confident at the gym.
Right off the bat, she knew Baltazar was a great fit for her. He got her on a plan to eat healthier, and in fact, eating more than she was used to. One of the key concepts he taught her was that you don’t need to starve yourself to lose weight because you need to eat to restart your metabolism. He gave her healthy recipes that fit her lifestyle, and options to replace unhealthy cravings.
At the gym, she found that Baltazar was exactly what she needed to rebuild her confidence. He gave her a lot of positive feedback and encouragement, reminding her that she’s stronger than she thinks she is. And for those exercises she absolutely couldn’t do? Baltazar modified them, so they were within Courtney’s abilities.
Now, she’s not intimidated by the gym, and knows she can do the exercises Baltazar taught her all on her own.
After working with Baltazar for the past 6 months, she’s had great results. Within a month, she was able to fit into pants she previously couldn’t. She’s lost 4 inches on her waist, and has gone from a size 22 to an 18.
Most notable of all, she’s now having a period every 28 days – a major first step on the road to conceiving a baby.
“I highly recommend working with Baltazar,” Courtney says. “He’s very knowledgeable, and he makes me feel capable of doing great things.”
