“As a teacher and counselor, I can’t rave about Jackie highly enough. She took me on as a client, knowing full well the challenges I face as a vegan, three time heart attack survivor and 40+ year old male who likes his beer. By avoiding a “cookie-cutter, one size fits all” approach to nutrition, she was able to hand-craft a program that directly addressed my overall health picture, worked on my weaknesses, and amplified what was already working in my diet. She challenged me to invest myself in my own betterment, and offered me room to experiment, make mistakes and learn from them. By keeping me focused on my long term goals through regular checkups, I saw real change in my health and muscularity on an increasing basis. Coworkers noticed my slimming waistline, family members pointed out that my skin looked healthier, friends commented on my increased energy. I sleep better, I’ve been sick a lot less, and those pants in the back of the closet fit again! Finally, I’d have to say the biggest change is the sense of control over my health and nutrition I have been given; the amount of confidence I have now, based on Jackie’s program, to steer my own nutritional needs and reach the goals I’ve set for myself is enormous. If I haven’t said it enough already…Thank you for walking in just when I needed it, Thank you for your wisdom, experience, compassion and humor.
Thank you for giving me the ignition keys for the rest of my life.”

"First of all I would like to say thank you. I never paid attention to what I used to eat and drink and as a result both my blood pressure and my blood sugar were high. These results were very scary but based on Jackie's advice and recommendations, I made a great deal of changes to my diet. In addition to this I walked 10,000 steps per day and did the deep breathing exercises Jackie taught me a few times per day to help me manage my stress. Four months later, I went back to the doctor and my blood work result was amazing. My blood sugar dropped from 101 to 87 and my A1C dropped from 7.6 to 5.7 and my blood pressure was 113/77. Jackie, all these changes are because of your advice and recommendation
so I would like to say you thank you and god bless you."

“I can't thank you enough for helping me to feel myself again. I had not felt myself for 20 plus years. My knees bothered me so much. I winced every time I would go to sit at my station at work. Often at night I could not bend my knees when sleeping and would be in a lot of pain throughout the night. I was at the verge of discussing surgery with my doctor because the knee pain was so bad. However, once I started following your guidance in terms of food and exercise, I started losing weight and the pain started going away. After three months, I regained full motion of my knees and was pain free once the weight was completely off - I couldn't believe it. It’s truly remarkable that my knees no longer bother me. I could not understand why I had even gained 30 pounds until you shared with me what a healthy diet looks like and why my diet had caused weight gain. In addition to my knee pain, I had a lot of stomach pain and belly bloating. I often felt uncomfortable. Thanks to your guidance of showing me what foods to try cutting out and switching to a whole, real food diet, I no longer have the stomach pain nor the bloating. I cannot thank you enough for
all that you have done for me, you saved my life.”

“Thank you for everything Jackie. Because of this program I feel so much better. I completely stopped smoking and I can't stand people smoking next to me. You helped me increased my exercise activities and control my diet. I used to get stressed a lot because of work and now I am able to enjoy being at work. The breathing exercise was one the best things you taught me to help relieve my stress. I love eating vegetables every day now. I stopped eating the things that were taking away my energy and instead choose the foods that are healthy and make me feel good. Thank you for all the guidance, it has really helped me.”

“I benefited so much from your program by making changes to my diet and exercise habits. Jackie is such an inspiration and full of knowledge tailoring her program to my personal needs. I felt and knew she genuinely cared about me personally. Anyone who takes prescriptions for a preventable disease or condition should be in this program. I came in with elevated cholesterol and the will to lose weight and I have since lowered my cholesterol and weight, with maximum intentions and what felt like minimal effort. In addition, I no longer have an issue with menstrual cramps, my skin is better, my attitude is better,
even food is better! Thank You Jackie!!!”

“Your program has really helped me make many improvements to my overall health, energy level, productivity at work, weight management, and other aspects of my life. Through our coaching sessions, I’ve learned so much about the proper foods I should be focused on at home and during work hours. Before I started this program, I had issues with fatigue and lack of motivation at work, along with a nagging problem of a few extra pounds I couldn’t shake off. Jackie outlined which foods with natural sources of energy I could try, the amount I should consume, and the timing of my meals. I feel like a new man! I don’t have to rely on caffeinated drinks or sugar-loaded foods to get me through the day anymore. I also loved having healthy recipes to try and make a part of my routine. Through my coaching sessions, I’ve also learned how to maintain a certain level of physical activity throughout my day that fits my crazy work schedule. You read all of these things online about how to stay active and try to relate it to your personal schedule, but that’s where this coaching program really adds value. It’s the one-on-one interaction and personalized advice that helped me achieve my goals.”

“Thank you Jackie! I started noticing a lot of pain in my joints. It became difficult to get out of bed in the morning, get up out of a chair, and raise my arms. I couldn't even reach up to wash my hair in the shower without severe pain. There was so much pain and stiffness, I thought something was terribly wrong. I had no idea what was happening to my body. Jackie strongly encouraged me to stop using artificial sweeteners months earlier. I tried drinking tea with no sugar - terrible! Then I remembered that Jackie mentioned a natural Sweetener called Stevia. I purchased Stevia per her recommendation and could not believe the results. In just a few days I felt a tremendous difference. Long story short, I can still drink tea and now I have no more pain at all! I cannot stress to you how important it is to stop consuming artificial sweeteners. I was slowly poisoning my body. Now I can do cartwheels again - at 53!
Thank you Jackie and Stevia.”

“Working with Jackie has been so beneficial and encouraging. She has provided me with great resources and expertise to support me in the journey to better health. Sometimes I would feel anxious going into a meeting because my goals had been shifting around quite a bit and I thought my coach will think that I’m all-over-the place but Jackie came to each meeting with compassion, kindness, and a vast amount of knowledge. She was great in reassuring me that I could not be wrong when listing to my body’s constitution. It was so helpful having her reassure me that it’s ok for your target to change at different points in your health journey. This really allowed me to relieve some personal pressures I put on myself in making changes in my diet and lifestyle. Jackie really helped me realize that as long as I’m listening to and taking care of myself that’s the best thing I can do.”

“This program has been very valuable in taking my health in a different direction. And, this did not happen overnight, but with the inspiration and encouragement from Jackie, I was able to make change for the better. Thank you so much for your patience, Jackie and sticking with me. Your help has meant so much to me and really changed my life. My eating has improved drastically and as far as working out, I do so regularly. Investing in my health has put me on an incredible path. As a result of all these changes, I can definitely feel the difference and have so much more energy. I have lost twenty pounds. I am really grateful for this program and having a coach as it has inspired me to put my health in order
by eating smarter and exercising.”

“At the age of 40, I found myself having to think very seriously about my health. I was diabetic (diagnosed at the age of 42) and was taking 32 units insulin and a second shot of regular insulin every day. I didn't pay attention to exercise, and my diet was very unhealthy. I ate out at restaurants too often and I was making very poor food choices. I began meeting with Jackie about diet and exercise, and then putting the information to use. I started to eat healthy food and began to exercise according to her advice. It wasn’t easy at first. In the beginning, I could only manage to exercise for 15 minutes. But I persisted, exercising every day in the morning. My resolve began to pay off. Soon I could easily exercise for thirty minutes at a time. I also altered my diet. I became more aware of portion sizes and the types of foods I ate. Overall, these changes made a really good turning point in my life. My visit a couple months later to my doctor was fantastic and he was very happy to see all my improvements. My blood sugar levels have improved so much that he cut my medication by 60%! Thank you for this program,I have experienced great benefit!”

“Having Jackie as my health coach and mentor has been a blessing to me! I look forward to our sessions together; she has become a friend to me and an asset in a better way of living. Before I started the program, I really had no direction or guidance on a healthier way of being in life. So when I met Jackie, she had enlightened me and inspired me to eat better and ways on how to get my blood sugar down. So many people nowadays are getting diagnosed for diabetes, and I'm very proud to say that through Jackie’s help, I am not a statistic. That's a blessing! I'm very thankful to have her in my corner. I take great pride in my job assisting others. Working with Jackie provides me even greater capacity to do my work and care for my people in the way I feel is important. Thank you very much Jackie!!!!"

“Your constant support kept me on track. The program made me so much more knowledgeable about foods and the affect they had on my body. How you put a lot of effort and care in helping me to reach my goals truly inspired me to reach them. I am so grateful for the benefits of this program. I lost 20 lbs, weighing what I did 20 years ago, my mood has been elevated and I have lowered my blood pressure. Thank you for everything, Jackie!”

"This program has helped me tremendously. The information, encouragement and accountability have all greatly contributed to my success. I learned methods that not only helped me with improving my diet, but also improved my stress level, work environment and personal life. I appreciate how comfortable, Jackie always made me feel and that my accomplishments matter to her as much as they matter to me. I really appreciate that this was a 3 part process of being more conscious of mind, body and soul and Jackie's support in helping me to feed and nourish all of these areas. One of my biggest focuses was quitting smoking. With this, I really had to take it one week at a time really tried to avoid the triggers, like wine. I have now been smoke free for over a year and feel great! Next, I wanted to work on weight loss. For me, it was about setting realistic goals and staying focused. I realized that exercise is really important too. At work, I try to be very conscious of getting in movement during my shift. When I first started, exercise was a real chore, especially trying to get to the gym. However, with Jackie’s help I realized exercise can be done anywhere and incorporated into my schedule without it always having to be a separate activity.
I am really thrilled with my results. I lost over 20lbs and 3 sizes. Previously, I often felt sluggish and forgetful. Now, I have a lot more energy, my memory has improved, I feel lighter, I am able to be a lot more active with my kids and I feel more happy and alive. Overall, I feel like a different person and others notice it too. My kids are my biggest motivation and are so proud of me. Again, I am grateful how this program has helped me not just with weight loss but in many other areas as well. Thank you again for everything."

“These breathing exercises you taught me have changed my life. I can feel the tension leaving in my body and I no longer lose my temper on a regular basis. I am so much more calm and centered and do not feel constantly on edge, it’s been wonderful. I even received a gift card last week for providing excellent customer service – I can’t believe what a difference the breathing exercises have made in my life.”

“When I first signed into the program I had a lot of issues within myself and my life. I was in a bad marriage and going through a divorce and because of that I wasn't doing what I needed to do to keep myself happy and healthy. Then I met Jackie Yovankin, who listened and gave me great/fantastic suggestions and from then on with her positivity and motivation I began to grab my life again. Since then I've gotten out of my marriage and am 100% happy, my health improved tremendously I've been going to gym and eating correctly. I'm the heaviest I've ever been in my entire life (all muscle). I love my new body and better attitude. She's helped me have a greater sense of wellness and helped me still my mind. This program has changed my life and I'm thankful for it and for you Jackie.”
Jeremiah T.
“It is quite amazing how self-conviction and a well-planned nutrition program can turn someone's life around. I had gained a lot of weight and felt so miserable carrying this to work, school, and just about everywhere. Jackie guided me on a diet that has changed how I look, feel, and see myself. I also went back to the gym and started training 4 days a week for about 2 hours. I lost a total of 36 lbs. in 4 months; I moved from a size 38 to a size 35. I cannot thank you enough for helping me feel good about myself once more.”
