You’re in the right place.
Weight loss should NOT feel like a battleground.
Fighting constant hunger and cravings, counting the seconds on the stair master, and feeling like you’re waging war on your body, are NOT the vibe.
That’s where Holistic Fitness Labs is different.
We recognize that you are unique.
You have a different biology, experience, history, mindset, and relationship with food than any of our other students. We see you for you and provide a customized journey to help you reach your goals in a healthy way
We prioritize sustainability.
Over 95% of people who lose a significant amount of weight end up gaining it back within 5 years! We want you to be in the 5% who keep it off for good. We take a gentle approach to get you long-term success.
We know the science AND the real-life application.
We’ve put in hundreds of hours of research and have hundreds of hours of practical experience, and it shows in all of our programmings.
Imagine a world where...
â Maintaining your dream body is effortless. You never have to think about dieting again. It feels like you and your body are on the same team.
â You feel confident and sexy in your clothes (and out of em!). No more hiding behind big hoodies and feeling like your jeans are a form of torture anytime you have to sit down in them.
â You can go out with friends without worrying about what you eat, indulge on date night, and you embrace amazing new foods on vacation.
â Seeing yourself in the mirror or in pictures doesn’t make you feel ashamed, frustrated, or guilty. Instead, you feel so damn proud of yourself for prioritizing your physical and mental health.
â You feel strong, powerful, and capable! You feel energy like you’ve never had before. No more dragging yourself through the day. You feel healthy AF.
This could be your reality.

Bonus Modules:
How to Lose Fat WITHOUT Tracking Macros
If your relationship with food prevents you from being able to track macros, you can still lose fat! This bonus explains how.
Supplement Guide
Supplements are NOT necessary to lose fat. But if you want to add them in for a little boost, this bonus will give some top recommendations.
Understanding Your Menstrual Cycle
Monthly hormonal fluctuations impact how we should train and eat to optimize results. This module explains how!
You might be thinking…
But wait, I want to lose the weight NOW.
I don’t want to take it slow…
We hear you.
We want you to reach your goals as quickly as possible too.
But consider these two paths:
"Fast" fat loss
Lose some weight with a ton of cardio before your friend’s wedding, but regain it all within 4 weeks.
Lose some weight again with a juice cleanse before your vacation but gain it all back plus 1-2 more pounds afterwards.
Use fast weight loss programs to lose a little weight before events but never maintain your results. Always have to be weary of your coworker who brings donuts to work on Fridays.
End up slowing down your metabolism with your chronic dieting and slowly watch the weight pile on over the years.
Have constant low-grade anxiety about your body for the next 60-80 years, never being able to keep the weight off after you lose it.
Sustainable fat loss
Take the slow and steady approach now to lose fat in a healthy, sustainable way.
You might not look the way you want for your vacation in 2 months or your friend’s wedding in 6 months.
But when you do reach your goals, you’ll have your ideal physique AND be able to maintain weight on a calorie intake that is sustainable and makes you happy.
Eat a slice or two of cake at your son’s birthday party without worrying that it will make you gain weight. Doing a juice cleanse before a vacation doesn’t even cross your mind. Feel confident in a swimsuit anytime, anywhere.
Never have to think about weight loss again. Your body is happily and healthfully maintaining your ideal physique.
Okay, that makes sense but...
âI have hormone issues/PCOS/cortisol issues and canât lose fat like other peopleâ
âIâve tried everything and nothing works for me!â
âI donât wanna do a ton of cardioâ
âIâm too busyâ
âI don't have time to eat healthy and exercise every day"
âItâs too expensiveâ
Who this course is for...
This course is for you if...
â Want to lost fat and keep it off forever
â Are serious about results and want to do the work. We want you to feel good about your progress!
â Are ready to not only transform how you look physically but also how you feel physically and mentally
â Are excited to reach your full potential and see what you’re really capable of when you have a high-quality, science-backed holistic program to follow
â Listening to your body, nourishing it with a variety of whole foods, improving your sleep, reducing your stress, building a lifestyle you love, and feeling good in your own skin sounds amazing to you
This course is NOT for you if...
â Do not want to get any leaner than you already are
â Don’t mind yo-yo dieting and regaining the weight next month, you just wanna lose some weight NOW
â Don't work well within a self-paced environment and don't want to be responsible for implementing the strategies in this program yourself
â Have a slow metabolism. Use our calculator below to see if your metabolism is healthy
â You just wanna do some 10-minute ab workouts, get a six pack, and be on your way (spoiler alert: it doesn’t work like that)
Think about it...
How long have you been stuck in your weight loss journey?
How many times have you told yourself "I'll start on Monday"?
How long have you been feeling powerless to change your body?
Has it been 6 months? A year? So long being unhappy with your body just feels "normal"?
This course is your answer to FINALLY put an end to all of that.
To leave all of that frustration, disappointment, and exhaustion behind.
And to never have to think about losing weight ever again.
That’s priceless.
But wait… should you reverse diet instead?
If you’ve been struggling to lose weight for years and feel like you’ve been in a perpetual diet, you may have a slow metabolism. If this is the case, you may need to reverse diet before going through this course.
