Hi there, friend! Curious about the lady trying to help you lose weight?
Dr. Heather Shuker, at your service. I am a weight loss coach and a nurse practitioner with 18 years of healthcare experience who is straight up obsessed with helping people lose weight the way someone helped me.
My story: I was overweight my whole life. Literally. I was a fat baby and stayed that way. My first nickname was butterball. (They got worse by middle school.) Then, at age 46, I lost 80 pounds with low carb eating and intermittent fasting with the help of a coach. I’ve kept the weight off for more than 2 years. (Hooray!)
After my weight loss success, I tried to teach my patients how to do what I did but there was never enough time. So, I did what was completely terrifying for a Gen X woman with a lifetime of body image issues, I started a YouTube channel to teach what I know.
Your Guide to Weight Loss is a video podcast where I share what I’ve learned about weight loss after years of personal trial and error, academic study, and, more recently, working with clients. My whole goal in creating the channel is for you to reach your weight loss goal once and for all. I hope it helps.

In addition to my YouTube, if you are looking for more support on your weight loss journey, you can book an intake assessment with me for coaching, or you can subscribe to my newsletter to help you keep your head in the game.
