The Women's Weight Loss Retreat brings women together for two days of support, discussion, and education to tackle the emotions and nutritional habits that lead to weight gain. Lectures from weight-loss strategist and St. Louis Boot Camp founder Johnny King inspire guests to latch on to self-acceptance and inner peace, which he believes is the foundation of lasting change. Next, Fox 2 News’s nutritional spokesperson and registered dietician Jennifer McDaniel steps in to fill mental toolboxes with new strategies for healthier eating, which may include training an army of bees to snatch away junk food. In addition to a supportive group atmosphere and professional advice, visitors receive two books on nutrition and a 65-page workbook that outlines the weekend’s work and lays out steps toward success after the seminar ends.
