I started my experience with Chrissy DeBruine not sure what to expect, but I knew I needed to lose weight and to get a better/healthier grasp on my blood pressure.
Well, I got way more than I thought! Not only did I lose unhealthy weight and got my blood pressure in check, but I also got my energy back! I got my life back!
I have learned not only how to read food labels but also what they mean. I have learned that it is ok to set healthy boundaries and to make healthy food choices. My list could go on and on.
I am grateful for my time I spend with Chrissy; she is patient, caring, kind and makes the time we spend together all about my needs!
I am so honored to work with Chrissy. I truly recommend that if you are considering losing weight and/or wanting to get a healthier/happier you then you should contact Chrissy DeBruine, you will be so glad you did!

"I came into these coaching sessions looking to ultimately shed a few pounds. With all the things listed above I was able to accomplish this and really didn't have to put forth much more effort than I already was.
Chrissy showed me how to do things differently and more effectively to achieve my goal.
I will definitely be signing back up along the way to help me accomplish bigger and better things in the future!"

My goal in 2023 was to transform my health! I have struggled with my weight and the resulting high blood pressure, high cholesterol and high triglycerides my entire adult life. I have an excellent doctor; however, she does not have time for the one-on-one wellness focused changes I was interested in making. While researching weight loss programs, food allergy testing, fitness programs, etc., I felt like it was the same old that I have tried throughout my life without lasting success.
And then I heard about Chrissy’s nurse coach approach! She combines medical and wellness knowledge to evaluate the physical, mental and spiritual well-being of her clients. From the first session, Chrissy treated me as a healthy person and not a sick person. That matters because it resulted in a mind set change. I have successfully lost 15 pounds to date and my numbers are all improving! If you are interested in a different approach…wellness instead of sickness…I highly recommend Chrissy’s nurse coach approach!

As a nurse for 14 years, I found myself on the other side of the office visit in a not so great conversation about my own health. My own health that I put to the side to pour myself into my family and my career for so many years.
I have known Chrissy for a number of years through work. I watched and admired her courage to make changes in her own life to get healthy. She has always been someone easy to talk to and confide in, so I asked for help. I am so glad I did! The support and encouragement, the openness and honesty and the positivity have been so helpful to me in this journey. My own attitude and outlook have improved exponentially. I finally feel empowered to stick with everything that I knew I should have been doing all along.
I have seen progress and I am thrilled! Since my last visit, my cholesterol has dropped 49 points, my HDL has increased 4 points and my LDL has dropped 53 points. My fasting glucose has also dropped 33 points and is a few points shy of being back into the normal range. My weight has dropped 4 pounds and I feel stronger with my clothing starting to fit better.
It is hard to ask for help. It's also hard being unhealthy and trying to fit in extra appointments because of poor choices. I chose to ask for help and prioritize me so I can be there for my family in a better, healthier version. If you are finding yourself in these shoes too, I would encourage you to reach out to Chrissy to help you! This is something you will not regret doing, except you may wish you had reached out sooner!

"I first reached out to Chrissy when I saw a post on social media for nurse coaching. I had no idea what it was but was desperate for help! I was experiencing all kinds of health problems and symptoms. I was going to multiple Dr appointments and not getting any answers. I was giving up on my passions in life because I just didn’t feel well or like myself. I needed answers but didn't have the tools to get them.
Working with Chrissy gave me confidence and knowledge to advocate for myself at Drs appointments. Her direction was pivotal in leading me to finally getting a diagnosis. Since working with Chrissy my outlook is completely different, knowing what my health goals are and how to achieve them. She has given me insight and motivation to help me sustain a more healthy lifestyle. Chrissy’s ability to blend professionalism with her “down to earth” personality is a great combination for her chosen field. She genuinely cares about the overall health and wellbeing of her clients. She has a passion and drive to help others in their health journey. I would 100 % recommend working with her!"

"I reached out to Chrissy because I was feeling overwhelmed with my emotional and physical health challenges. All the social media searching to find a way to success was not only daunting, but it was also confusing and, in the end, left me feeling like a failure. I was running on adrenaline and not stopping to ‘smell the roses.’ I was always doing everything at 100 MPH, my thoughts, my exercise, my actions in my personal and work life etc.. just a go, go, go mentality that was burning me out.
I now have a positive, and clear outlook on my emotional and physical health and am working on achievable changes that are tailored to me personally, because of this coaching.
I have experienced increased strength both physically and emotionally through this coaching. I now have the tools to understand why I approached some of the things the way I did. I learned how to set boundaries, and improve my overall health based on me not on someone I don’t even know (ref: social media). I have improved on the ways I exercise my emotional and physical wellbeing.
Coaching with Chrissy has been so enlightening. Chrissy is eager to listen, very observant, patient, and slow to judge. She is kind, empathetic, honest, and holds you accountable. Chrissy forms a personal connection and coaches you with you being the driver of your journey, based on what you are willing to share, it’s not forced or mandatory.
Her approach is genuine and effective, her knowledge of emotional and physical wellbeing is amazing!"

"I was four months in on the beginning of my health journey; to really dial in and focus on me. I started making changes on my own but still felt lost in what direction to go. I had pushed myself way to the side as I put others first. My conditions only became greater. Obesity, anxiety, depression, pre-diabetic, high blood pressure, high cholesterol. Many issues I just lived with instead of learning how to live, how to choose me, to give myself the chance to become a healthier person.
I then came across Chrissy's social media post offering nurse coaching. I messaged her to participate and work with her. I figured why not?I was so nervous prior to our first call. Why am I going to let another person tear me down and tell me everything I'm not doing right? I was so wrong! Chrissy made me feel safe from the very beginning.
I have gained so much knowledge from my sessions. Chrissy listened. She listened to understand my concerns. She would suggest something for me to do or try, then go into detail and explain why is really what helped me. I took notes with each session. I wanted to soak in as much information as I could.
My outlook on my health journey has completely changed. My sessions with Chrissy were the tools I needed to start taking my health approach differently. Body and mind. The results I have experienced so far are very positive. The biggest so far is mental clarity on my journey. Chrissy gave me so much knowledge on my issues and I'm feeling healthier as I incorporate new ways into my life.
I would highly recommend anyone to work with Chrissy. As I look over my notes and think about or sessions, the same word keeps coming to mind and that's SAFE. She doesn't care what your issues are, she just wants to help you live better. If you want or need to make a change in your life I would highly suggest working with Chrissy. She doesn't just give you ideas, she encourages you. And that's exactly what I needed."

"My experience working with Chrissy was nothing short of amazing. I have recently experienced tragedy and I came into our time together with a reduced capacity for even simple everyday things. She helped me to prioritize making time to care for myself. She encouraged me to work on increasing my exercise and improving my diet without being judgmental of my current ways. She helped me set realistic goals that pushed me but also felt achievable. She provided the accountability I needed to make productive steps towards healing. She created a space that felt safe to be myself while encouraging me to strive to become a healthier, happier version of myself at the same time. I felt seen, and heard and understood during our sessions.
She is an expert in her field and her immense knowledge of the way food fuels our body and exercise improves not only our physical health but also our emotional health created a complete whole person perspective I really appreciate. I would highly recommend Nurse Coach Chrissy to friends and family and look forward to working with her again in the future."

"I have had the fortunate opportunity to work with Nurse Coach Chrissy, and am happily able to say that I've learned more about myself and how I am able to better myself as a direct result of her knowledge, guidance, and intuition. Chrissy's ability to provide a safe, comfortable environment for honest discussion was complemented by her down to earth, easy conversation.
Chrissy has extensive experience in whole food-based nutrition, exercise, and coaching that I would strongly recommend to anyone looking to improve their lives and truly make transformative change.
Chrissy truly empowered me during our sessions.
I am looking forward to working with her in the future and refer my patients to her expertise.
I am better because of our time together."
