“Growing up, my mom commonly made pancakes on the weekend. I loved them! 😋 I still really like them, but between the flour and the syrup, I’ll be in a carb coma nowadays. 🥴 So these high protein and fiber pancakes have been a game changer!

No, they’re not light and fluffy. I would call the center a bit gelatinous. They don’t bubble through when you’re cooking them like traditional pancakes, so you l’ve got to keep an eye on them. On medium heat, each side might take ~8 minutes. The batter is thick because of the psyllium husk, so don’t continually add water to thin the batter. Spread out the batter once it’s in the pan. For me, the blueberries definitely make them tastier. Here’s the recipe for 3 pancakes the size of what’s pictured 🥞:

- 2 scoops of organic vanilla protein powder (we sell at the gym two of my favs)
- 2 organic eggs
- 2 Tablespoons psyllium husk powder
- Enough water to quickly whisk into semi-thick 🤷‍♂️ batter

Give’’em a try and let me know your thoughts. If you’ve got other not-so-healthy foods you’d like healthy alternatives for, comment and I’ll give you my best advice.” - Chris

Melanie’s yoga experience working with Coach Denise: “I’ve been working with Denise for a year now, and it has completely transformed the way I understand my body and my yoga practice 🧘‍♀️.

What I appreciate most is that she does not teach in a one size fits all way. She has taken the time to really study my posture, my patterns, and what my body actually needs, which turns out to be very different from what most people focus on in a regular yoga class. Instead of pushing flexibility, she has helped me prioritize balance, stability, and strengthening the areas that truly support me.

Even in group classes, she is incredibly attentive. She gently corrects my posture, offers thoughtful adjustments, and helps me refine my alignment in ways that feel empowering rather than critical. I have learned so much about how I stand, move, breathe, and hold myself, both on and off the mat. Beyond her technical knowledge, Denise is deeply thoughtful and genuinely caring. She makes me feel like she cares about me not just as a student, but as a person. She is compassionate, very kind, and creates a space that feels safe and supportive. I feel seen in her classes. I feel guided. I feel respected.

Working with her has not just improved my practice, it has changed my relationship with my body.

I am so grateful for her.” - Melanie G.

“Five years. Two photos. One decision to change. One was taken in July 2021. The other one was taken this month, July 2026. When I look at them side by side, it’s hard to believe they’re both me 😮.

About 2 1/2 years ago, I decided it was time to stop waiting for “someday.” I started personal training with Chris Weigel at Clairevista Holistic Health and Fitness, and that decision changed the trajectory of my health. Yes, I’m on a GLP medication. I’m grateful for it, and I’m not interested in pretending otherwise. But medication didn’t lift the weights, take the walks, change my eating habits, or teach me how to build a healthier lifestyle that I could actually sustain 💪.

Over the past 2½ years, l’ve trained two or three days a week🏋️‍♀️, walked thousands if not millions of steps, made countless changes to how I eat 🍎🥦🥩, and kept adjusting the plan to fit my life and career instead of trying to fit my life into another impossible diet.

Yesterday, I pulled on a pair of 34-inch waist pants👖because my 36s wouldn’t stay up anymore. They fit comfortably. It’s been more than 20 years since I could say that 🤗.

I’ve now lost more than 70 pounds, and it’s still surreal to think that I was pushing 300 pounds when I started this journey.

I’m not finished. I still have goals. There are still changes I want to make, strength I want to build, and years of healthy living I hope to earn. Life happens. We all have reasons we end up where we are. For me, there was COVID, raising a kid, losing parents, building a business, stress 😫, and every other excuse that seemed perfectly reasonable at the time. But the truth is, life keeps happening. At some point, I realized I had to start taking care of the person who was going to live the rest of it.

To Chris, thank you for being far more than a trainer.
You’ve become a trusted coach and a close friend.
You’ve challenged me, encouraged me, and helped me see what consistency can accomplish. And to everyone at Clairevista, thank you for creating a place where showing up becomes something you actually look forward to 💙💙💙.” - James F.
