Colleen's Nutrition Ignition, Newbury Park

As a certified nutritionist, personal trainer, and cook, Colleen Ballew presents a triple threat to pudge. But unlike fad diets that restrict calories, Colleen's approach to weight loss springs from striking a balance between proteins, fats, and carbs. When this harmony is achieved, blood sugar stabilizes, and bodies torch fat instead of muscle or '80s love anthems. Through classes, workshops, and private lessons at Colleen's Nutrition Ignition, the wellness guru teaches dieting pupils how to assemble healthy, filling meals without sacrificing flavor. Colleen focuses on completely overhauling lifestyles to avoid reverting back to harmful habits, such as bingeing on sugary foods or sleeping in piles of cheese curls. She bolsters classroom instruction with online tools including exercise tips, diet journals, and menus. To augment healthy living, Colleen also offers private and small-group Pilates sessions.
