Mitzi is a 54-year-old mother and grandmother who has followed the low carb/keto lifestyle for more than two-and-a-half years. She is also a certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP) and experienced health and wellness coach. After achieving such amazing results following a ketogenic lifestyle, her passion for spreading the word and specializing in ketogenic coaching was born.
Nearly six years ago, Mitzi was obese with a long list of diagnosed medical conditions: fatty liver, pre-diabetes, insulin resistance, sleep apnea, acid reflux, joint pain, planter's fasciitis, brain fog, gas and bloating, acne and dry eye syndrome. She was also diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder and depression and had a suspected transient ischemic attack (mini stroke) that led to the prescription of anti-seizure medication on top of an antidepressant and amphetamines to manage her other conditions.
In short, she was a mess.
In January of 2012, Mitzi began a journey to take back her health and it started with just eating real food, getting rid of grains, as well as all processed foods. Those initial changes eventually morphed into Paleo, which then led to some weight loss, increased energy, improvement of all those medical conditions, and eventually getting off all medications.
After experiencing such a remarkable recovery, Mitzi decided to take nutritional therapy classes, initially for her own education. She then decided that the life-changing, foundational, holistic, nutritional approach was just too important not to share with others and became a coach. She has successfully coached individuals who, under the supervision of their medical treatment providers, have reversed type 2 diabetes, eliminated multiple prescription medications, lost weight, and improved their auto-immune conditions.
This is a journey and lifestyle, not a temporary quick fix! Mitzi meets people where they are, and provides firm, yet realistic advice and guidance on making a ketogenic lifestyle work. She has proven success working in group and one-on-one settings.

Mitzi Champion: I had a lot of metabolic dysfunction going on but I didn't really realize what was going on. I just kept researching and researching and found my way to low-carb. I went on my first low-carb cruise in 2010. They were talking about keto on that low-carb cruise and I said, "This keto thing, maybe there's something to it."
