About Cathy

I started in the fitness business in 1977. I have watched every diet fad of the last fifty years arrive, make somebody rich, and disappear — grapefruit, cabbage soup, fat-free, no-carb, powders, pills, patches, and shots. I watched people believe in them. I watched those same people gain the weight back, and then some, and blame themselves for it.

They were not the problem. The plans were.

In 1988 I built my first weight-loss program around a simple idea: real food, in the right amounts, matched to how a particular body actually works. Not willpower. Not suffering. Chemistry and honesty. I opened clinics on it. I trained counselors in it. I was one of the first eating disorder counselors in this country, and I helped hospitals build treatment programs when almost nobody was doing that work.
