Client Experiences

In November, 2013 Amberleigh Carter changed the way I look at food, exercise, and life as a whole.  She began to explain to me (and my husband) how the body processes foods, why everything is controlled by the gut, and why certain foods are better than others.  The single thing about that first meeting with Amberleigh (and truly every one after that as well) was her knowledge and easy explanation about everything...and I do mean everything.  It was like the song from when I was a kid...Dem Bones; or the game...Connect the Dots.  Amberleigh could connect everything.  She would make sense of what she was telling me.  She wouldn't just say 'do it'; you'll feel better.  She explained why and consequently, I would feel better.

With that being said, we listened.  We changed...and then...we CHANGED.  My husband and I ate fried food.  We ate out 5 times a week.  We ate canned food.  We drank soft drinks.  We didn't drink water.  We didn't exercise.  We ate portions large enough for 2.  We skipped breakfast.  And, the word organic was not a part of our vocabulary.

When I started my journey with Amberleigh, I weighed 297 lbs.  Today, I weigh 172.  I feel better.  I have more energy than I did when I was 20 (I am 47).  I eat right (If it comes organic, we are eating organic.).  Coconut oil, local honey, water, vegetables, grass fed beef, cage free chickens, organic everything, and portions big enough to satisfy are regulars in our lives. I could waste time being mad that I didn't live better earlier, but I am beyond blessed that I have Amberleigh in my life.  I am excited to wake up every day.  I am excited to experience everything every day.  I truly have no cravings of the old.  My mind and my body have been transformed...and I have Amberleigh Carter to thank for it.

I had no idea what to expect before my first session with Amberleigh, but it was an incredibly positive experience. She has an innate ability to understand where you are emotionally and address your specific needs. During the session I could feel the energy in my body moving and releasing things that were no longer helping me. At the end I felt lighter and more open. Since the first session I have incorporated meditation into my daily routine and it has made my days brighter. I am grateful to Amberleigh for sharing her gift with me!

I came to Amberleigh expecting to receive an exercise program that would eventually put my S.I. joint back into its correct place.  My first session with her, I told her that my S.I. joint was causing me pain and that I've had it for a little over 2 years now.  Asking if there was anything she could do to bring it down from an 8 to even a 6, Amberleigh so gently taught me 1 simple maneuver that got rid of the pain immediately...I mean instantly!  

After seeing multiple chiropractors, physical therapists, and other "specialists", no one has ever completely gotten rid of the pain within seconds.  My mind was blown, and I was so excited to be able to do my exercise program with no pain.  Plus, the exercises she gave me completely transformed my body shape and strength...and they were so simple!  Amberleigh truly understands the human body unlike anyone I've ever met.  Her ability to pinpoint exactly what you need and be able to deliver it to you in such a graceful way is what I love about her most.  And she's fun to work with!  Thank you!

My main issues surrounded fertility and wanting to get all around healthier.  I had been to so many doctors and specialists telling me to do one thing and another that I felt totally confused, overwhelmed, and stressed.  When I spoke with Amberleigh over the phone, she was so jovial and calming and knew exactly what to say and what to do for me.  She intently listened to my worries, fears, and confusion and put me totally at ease.  I felt stronger and had more clarity than I had in years.  It was the first time that I felt heard.  She was the first person who asked me what I thought I should do for my body.  When I told her my thoughts, she backed up what I was feeling with the science as to why!  It was a whole new experience for me with my health, and Amberleigh has truly changed my life (and my little one's!) because of her intuitive ability to know exactly what I needed.

The week before my period, I noticed that my energy levels were very low, I was foggy headed, I had little motivation to take care of myself, and my cravings had been very intense.  I wanted extreme salty and sweet foods like Sour Patch Kids and Ramen noodles- 2 unhealthy choices.  There had to be better options than this, and there had to be a reason for feeling this way.  Amberleigh had the solution.  She explained that I was depleted of nutrients, so my body was looking for a quick fix.  She gave me nutrient-dense alternatives that gave me the same satisfaction of the above unhealthy options, which was completely amazing that those satisfying alternatives existed, and I would have never thought of myself.  They were real, basic, and tasty foods, not supplements.  The most amazing part of all of this is that the improvement in my mood, mental clarity, motivation, zest for life, energy levels, and cravings, was remarkable and immediate.  I now know exactly what to do the next time I feel sluggish before my period, or even in general, and look forward to enjoying the healthy and nutritious alternatives that nourish my body.  Thank you, Amberleigh!

The Healthy Bitches Course Experience

I get so excited about Amberleigh's weekly emails, and the results I get when I listen to her advice (that's depicted in a hilarious and entertaining manner, by the way) is amazing.  Even some of the smallest changes she's taught us have yielded incredible benefits for my skin and my sleep/stress schedule (plus my weight!).  I wish that I had a before and after of MY SKIN!!!  It's so great, and I sleep like a baby after cutting out a lot of the crap.  

Thanks to Amberleigh for doing all of the research and leg work so that we can just implement a few changes for huge pay off. Even my fiancé is on board with it all now after we laugh and read her weekly emails.  The only way I can get through that much learning about health is by how funny she makes it.  Plus, I know it's all real research since she isn't pushing products (like shakes, weight loss programs, etc.).  Thanks for being awesome!  LOVED Amberleigh's program!!

I LOVED this Healthy Bitches course so much.  I think it is something I will stick with forever, as it is natural and not difficult.  I do not have an end goal like 21 days, etc... which I like a LOT!  I feel great balancing my carbs and proteins and listening to my body and what it needs. I feel more energized and very calm and peaceful.  This way of eating also helps me specifically, as I do have some symptoms of PCOS... so thank you!  I also loved the information about weight lifting and water/coffee intake and how all of the information given is in small doses.

So thank you so much!  I think Amberleigh's going to change the world!

Let me just say that I love this program!!  The way Amberleigh explains everything and inserts funny quips and references makes it easy and enjoyable to read!  I've learned a lot of the physiology and anatomy stuff that's referenced in dental school, but as I read through some of the explanations, I sat there wishing she could have helped teach me that stuff back in my 1st year because it suddenly made so much more sense! 

I also thought the weekly challenges were great and encouraged me to actually take steps to improving my lifestyle.  And they were never unrealistic challenges, which is good for our busy lives!  I loved it, and I think what she's doing is excellent!
