What is an optimal weight range for me?

Being overweight can affect your health in various ways, but it’s not necessarily unhealthy for everyone. The impact of excess weight depends on factors like how much weight you're carrying, where it’s distributed, and other health conditions you may have. 

Research has shown that being overweight increases the risk of developing chronic conditions such as:

• Heart disease
• Type 2 diabetes
• Hypertension
• Certain cancers

However, it’s also possible for some individuals with higher body weight to maintain good health, especially if they’re physically active, have a balanced diet, and have no significant underlying health issues. Ultimately, health is multifaceted, and weight is just one part of the overall picture.

How can I tell if my weight is impacting my health?

If you experience joint pain, limited mobility, low energy, shortness of breath, high blood pressure, or diabetes, these may be signs that your weight might be impacting your health. 

What can I expect from working with Felicia?

At Heartistry Nutrition, Felicia offers a tailored approach to your weight loss goals. She addresses the physical aspects as well as your lifestyle habits and emotional well-being.

Initially, she conducts an in-depth assessment that includes a review of your medical history and a discussion about your weight loss goals, which may include improving your labs to wean off medications or wanting to change your ratio of fat to muscle. If you’re currently on a GLP-1 medication or have just discontinued it, Felicia ensures you’re still meeting your nutritional needs even if your appetite is still low.

She offers guidance on nutrition, focusing on creating a sustainable eating plan with plenty of protein, to match your exercise and fitness routine. Support and accountability are also key features, with regular follow-ups to track your progress, adjust strategies, and address any hurdles. 

Felicia’s program is designed to produce long-term success, focusing on achievable and sustainable changes rather than quick fixes.
