Who am I?
Hi! My name is Hollie Galloway and I want to tell you a little bit about myself. I am a retired RN, Massage and Reflexology therapist, and have also been interested in health and nutrition my entire life.
I live in the beautiful state of Rhode Island. Seven years ago my husband and I got turned on to the ketogenic diet and it changed our lives! So I decided to become a keto health coach.
I am certified by Dr. Eric Berg, an internationally recognized teacher of the keto diet. He has produced over 2,000 videos and continues to be for me a champion of this lifestyle. I am also certified in a plant-focused ketogenic therapy for people with chronic kidney disease, specifically PKD or poly cystic kidney disease.
I do believe that the low carb lifestyle is the best approach to staying healthy for many reasons which I will explain later. Research is showing us now just how important it is to stop eating sugar and refined starches. Many of our chronic diseases today are the result of a poor diet high in these things.
What is keto?
The ketogenic diet is a very low carbohydrate, high fat, and moderate protein diet.
It involves drastically reducing carbohydrate intake and replacing it with fat. The reduction in carbohydrates puts your body into a metabolic state called ketosis.
When this happens, your body becomes incredibly efficient at burning fat for energy. It also turns fat into ketones in the liver, which can supply energy for the brain.
Ketogenic diets can cause significant reduction in blood sugar and insulin levels. This, along with the increased ketones, has significant health benefits.

Why do you need a coach?
When you make the decision to adopt a keto/fasting lifestyle (they go hand and hand) you will need help getting started the correct way.
Your body goes through big changes when you shift from burning glucose to burning fat. Dr Eric Berg says "we have to make new machinery". It can take a few days to a few weeks depending upon your current state of health.
Here are some ways that I can help you:
* get you started correctly
* answer your questions
* offer support through emails/texts/phone
* give you meal plans and recipes if you want them
* teach you about intermittent fasting and the enormous health benefits of keto that includes fasting

Testimonials
"I started the keto diet 3 months ago. I never thought I could give up sugar, carbs,or snacks. With guidance from Hollie I was able to transition into this new and healthy lifestyle with ease. If I had questions or got stuck on how to handle certain situations, it was very important to know I could get these answers from Hollie's expertise. She would give me recommendations based on the training she received and her own experience on this keto lifestyle for 5 years. Hollie made suggestions on how I could finally lose weight and get that scale to lower. I feel so much healthier, have more energy, and can't imagine eating the standard American diet again. This is not a diet but a lifestyle change. I highly recommend having Hollie as a guide on this journey!"

"I started on a Keto diet approximately 3 months ago. I had recently been diagnosed with a very minor form of prostate cancer and have previously been borderline diabetic on my blood sugar levels. I was hoping that the Keto diet would help with both of these. Initially I was concerned that I would not be able to maintain it considering restrictions on carbs and sugar. I later found out that the abstinence of the above was actually quite doable. I have since lost weight and feel much more energy. None of this would have been attainable without the continual support of Hollie. She helped me by coaching me on dealing with related symptoms of heart palpitations and constipation and offered many ideas on dietary substitutes around items not in the Keto diet. Who would have thought there were substitutes for things like lasagna, pizza, brownies, etc. I would highly recommend Hollie as a coach for this major lifestyle change. I feel her expertise and support have been invaluable in helping me lead a happy and healthy life."

Hollie is not only an amazing coach, but is also in amazing person. Her knowledge about all things keto is amazing! I wasn’t sure I’d be able to incorporate a ketogenic diet into my busy lifestyle, but she made it so easy. The meal plans were not scary, even when traveling, and the meal prep was a breeze. I was also amazed by tailored recipes that satisfied my sweet tooth while sticking to the program. She is compassionate and really helped me succeed in the keto lifestyle. I highly recommend you reach out to her if you are contemplating keto.

Hollie,
I can't tell you how pleased I am for engaging you as my keto
coach, especially tied to my Polycystic Kidney Disease challenges.
You deliver value in countless ways. It is clear that you take
your role very seriously, through diligent study, networking
with experts, applying lessons personally with your own
nutritional intake, and delivering frequent and encouraging
updates and feedback. Amazing commitment.
I could not offer a higher endorsement for you, and hope that many
others will discover the great benefit of working with you. Beyond
all of that, your genuine caring and enthusiasm to help are clearly
a big part of who you are.
Thank you!
