Today we’d like to introduce you to Sarah Ford.
Sarah, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.
I gained 45lbs. my first semester in college due to going from being a national level swimmer to going to college on a full academic scholarship. I learned how to lose my weight, study nutrition, and figure out really what is the root cause of my weight gain. At this point is when I decided to change my major to nutrition and wellness studies and help other people lose their weight.
I have been in weight loss and wellness for about 18 years and I am the co-founder of SlimGENEmd. I have experience in helping over 5000 clients lose their weight and keep it off. I have also had many years of experience in nutritional workshops and teaching classes to groups about weight loss, wellness, and nutrition. I hold my Bachelors of Science in Nutrition Wellness Studies, and I’m a Certified Health Coach from the Health Coach Institute which is an accredited program.
Based on my own experience and working in weight loss and wellness for about 18 years, I believe nutrition and the underlying issues that cause weight issues is about 80%-90% of being able to lose weight and maintain a healthy weight. Exercise is a very important part as well… however, if you don’t address and understand the root cause of your weight issue and how genetically you are supposed to EAT, weight might be a struggle for you.
slimGENEmd can offer “on-site” weight loss and wellness programs as well as clients coming to our office. We partner with physicians and corporations to help their patients and team members lose their weight and get healthy.
Has it been a smooth road?
I know being successful comes with many bumps in the road. I don’t know one successful person who has not experience multiple bumps and maybe has almost given up. I believe these bumps or challenges are put on your track to help you learn and grow and become better and better. slimGENEmd has experienced many bumps, growing pains and learning experiences. I believe it has helped us perfect our program, partner with the right people and set us up to be able to help more and more people who need and want to lose weight and becomes healthier and happier.
We’d love to hear more about your business.
slimGENEmd is a fully customized weight loss and wellness solution. We run a series of tests to uncover what is causing our clients weight issue and how genetically do they need to EAT and exercise to get them using stored fat as energy. some f the testing includes and DNA test to help us know what their body needs to lose their weight and maintain it. All clients eat real food from grocery stores and restaurants, and we can fully tailor the program to fit their lifestyle.
We believe in a NO deprivation approach to losing weight, because a “diet” or deprivation never works long term, in our opinion.
We also run a series of internal tests that help us see what kind of imbalances are going on within a client. Internal imbalances can lead to weight issues, sleep disorders, mood swings, depression, anxiety, hormone issues and more.
slimGENEmd is NOT a one size fits all and this is what makes us unique. We take each client as an individual, test them and then customize a plan for them uniquely. We make it easy and their weight loss plan fits their lifestyle. Or client loses about 2-7lbs per week without being tired or hungry.
Our customized approach and science-based weight loss solutions set us apart from any other weight loss company.
I am proud to say we have an extremely high success rate. Much higher than the industry standard. Our clients lose their weight, but more importantly, keep it off for good!
Is our city a good place to do what you do?
I know Plano/Frisco/North Dallas is a great place to start a business. We have many diverse people here, who all have different needs. I know we will be successful because people are concerned about their health and wellness in this area, plus, our weight loss solution and approach makes sense to them.
