About Me

Through my sessions with Teri Yunus as my  health coach, I learned the difference between ‘losing’ and ‘releasing.’  Yes, I lost weight, but I also released old habits, negative thinking,   dependence on prescription medications, and lack of hope about my  future. My advice to prospective clients: sign up with Teri and follow  the path she illuminates for you. However you define ‘health’ today, you  will come away from your coaching sessions with a surprisingly new  perspective on how to feel good in what you eat, how you love, and who  you are. Buckle up: you’re in for an amazing journey! 

Update - 

“Nine months ago, I engaged Teri Yunus as my health  coach. I was significantly overweight, unhappy, and not very motivated  to change my life. To be honest, at 63 years old, I didn’t have much  faith that I would be able to make lasting changes, even with Teri’s  help.

“Today I am 50  pounds lighter than when Teri and I started working together, and I am  off medications I took for decades. My progress has been a series of  advancements and slight setbacks, but I keep moving forward. For me,  Teri’s focus on a compassionate vegan diet rings true to my values. That  has been the key to my success. Because of Teri’s help, I can express  compassion not only for animals and the environment in the way that I  eat, but also compassion for myself.”

 I frequently tell people I know that Teri is one of the most  inspirational people I have ever met, and I truly mean this. I met Teri  part of the way in my journey of a plant-based/vegan lifestyle choice.  At the point I met Teri I was struggling and thirsting for knowledge and  low and behold a plant based angel dropped into my life and at the best  time possible. Just to back track a few steps, the reason I was  struggling was I found it hard to sift through all the bad and negative  information about plant based eating, like how will I get enough protein  and other misnomers on how a plant based diet wont work. On a personal  note I struggled to fit in with my decision to become plant based as a  male frankly because it wasn't very manly according to my friends and  colleagues. Teri gave me the support, courage and guidance to overcome  the negativity by showing me ways to turn negative situations around and  also giving me trusted sources and information debunking all the things  we think we need from animal proteins. During my time with Teri I had  ups and downs and she was with me every step of the way. Her approach to  me was comparable to the bond of brotherhood you feel when in battle  and you never leave a fallen man or women behind. Teri has a contagious  and unique way of making you laugh and smile while completing goals and  tasks that are not impossible. I cannot think of any person that has  been a more profound positive influence in my life! I'm very thankful to  call her my coach, she is truly the best.  --Nick/U.S. Army Veteran 

  Dear Teri, 

I want you to know how thankful I am for your coaching  and being on this journey with me. I was not in a good place when I  first called you. I believe my description was "frumpy".  I know I was  not in the place I wanted to be. I had retired in October and found  myself just drifting from day to day, gaining weight, and had an  increasing cholesterol level and Hgb AIc level (prediabetic). Common  sense and my nursing background (RN) told me I knew what to do but I was  trapped in my daily "rut". 

 I had attended one of your  seminars earlier and was aware of your programs. I was envious of your  energy and healthfulness. I decided to reach out to you to seriously  investigate what options were available for me. That was the best  decision I could make and was the start of my journey and accountability  for my future. With your help, I now feel I am in such a better place. I  have energy, I have lost weight, and I have a better focus and  direction for my long term health goals. 

 I needed the  accountability. During our conversations, you helped me focus and gave  valuable suggestions to help make small changes that will now impact my  future lifestyle. I was so impressed with your knowledge and  current evidence based information. 

This journey had it's ups  and downs  (changes and results were not always as consistent or fast  as I wanted). The discoveries about myself were interesting and  insightful. You were there and supportive through it all!!  I am so  grateful!

Health Up!

                       Rarely do I come across a person, a personality  and a passionate persona of the like of Teri Yunus who came recommended  to me by a good friend on the whole food & plant-based deal.  Being a  cynic by default, I was uncertain about this nutrition gig and getting  counsel on it - however, Teri wiped my cynicism off my face in seconds  with her positivity, energy and compassion that I am sold on the concept  and counseling Teri provides.  Just a joy to be around and her  knowledge and insight are gems which keep me showing up.  Thank you!  Thank you, Teri Yunus!
