Alicia Stephens, HHP

I was suffering from stomach issues and it was affecting me all the time. I had an upper and lower GI and the doctor wanted to put me on steroids. All of the side effects were not appealing. I decided to be open to other alternatives and consulted with Alicia and told her of my dilemma. She suggested that I change some of my eating habits and add in helpful supplements to help my digestion issues. Within a few short weeks, my stomach issues started to lift and now have been completely eliminated from my program with her. Alicia was spot on with her advice and coaching and has been a tremendous help in me feeling better.

This journey for Me has not been all about weight. It started 32 years ago for me. My beautiful, kind and southern born grandmother died at 58 yrs old of pancreatic cancer. She never smoked or drank. Went to church every wk. Raised three kids and loved her husband. On her death bed she said was dying from the foods she ate! This has always resonated with me. So this journey has been about reexamining the food we eat, my relationship with food and creating adifferent path for our family. I have been most surprised by “sugar” in foods. Why is there sugar in meatballs, salsa and spices. I feel better with a constant energy throughout the day, sleeping like a rock at night. My skin is clearer. Less bloating. No “crashes” after eating. Hair growing faster. More focused on tasks; I feel I am a little nicer, not as aggravated. Positive outlook. So with all this being said, I have lost 13.7 pounds, fit into clothes that I have not been able to in awhile. But the number one thing is I feel closer to the girls I went on this journey with, I love sharing green drinks, grabbing a water and discussing recipes! All of you have been inspirational during this journey, keep up the good work and know you “changed” for taking the first step! Hugs and cheers to your green drinks!
