“We are thrilled with my daughter’s weight loss results due to the amazing dietitian Amanda at the 156th & Maple Hy-Vee. She started the diet on April 19th and because of Amanda’s encouragement and detailed directions, my daughter has lost 46 lbs. in less than four months. Her weight loss is meaningful to her and will improve her health for the rest of her life. We are so grateful to Amanda for changing my daughter’s life in such a positive way. She is a real asset to Hy-Vee. ” – Marni F.
“Hy-Vee Healthy Habits was a great program. After leaving my annual physical, I knew changes needed to be made. A friend recommended the dietitian services through Hy-Vee, so I figured why not try it. It was what I needed and I loved the program. Melissa was my dietitian. She was approachable, knowledgeable and helped me make better choices. The program is great for anyone who needs a boost in confidence, help, motivation or just needs accountability and I will recommend this to anyone.” – Pennie P.
“The Health Habits program was great. It was more food than I expected to get to eat throughout the day! I don’t think there was a day that I did eat all of the snacks because I was full. Melissa, my dietitian, had great recommendations for delicious and filling snacks. I found some great new pantry staples as well!” – Nicole S.
“After being in a food rut for awhile I wanted to find something new to try. My goal was to find healthy, easy meals and take the stress out of figuring out what to cook for my family every day. Loosing weight would be a perk! After 4 weeks on the Healthy Habits plan I can honestly say my life has been changed….for the better! Having a food list and daily meal plans saved me so much time and stress! The recipes are quick, simple, and tasty.” – Jena’s Client
“I am so happy to have met and worked with Katie Schaeffer! She put me on an excellent regimen that allowed me to track and monitor my eating habits and everything that came along with them. (Calorie intake, Macronutrient percentages, etc.) From there, I was able to figure out how to have a properly portioned diet plan to ensure that I was receiving everything I needed to keep my body healthy, along with figuring out foods to cut out and foods to add in. This was extremely important to me since I am a very active person and felt it was essential that I keep a good, balanced, healthy diet in order to maintain my workout routines. More than anything else though… I just feel sooo much better physically and mentally than I have in a long time simply because I’m eating so much better than I have in a long time. I am so grateful to Katie for all of her help with this, and I recommend her to absolutely everybody!! Thank you Katie!!” – Seth J.
HUB Great Plains engaged Shelly Asplin to do a virtual presentation on “Women’s Health and Hormones” for the HUB Women Network. Shelly’s presentation was amazing, she provided an overview of the different hormones that change as women age. She then provided several tips and suggestion on how we can make lifestyle changes to manage the change our bodies are experiencing. We had over 250 women from all over the country join us. The participants were very active in the chat sharing ideas and what has worked for them. They also had great questions for Shelly. Since Shelly’s presentation we have received requests for our group to provide more health-related information. – HUB International Great Plains
“I just got my lab reports for my doctor’s appointment and I wanted to let you know that it was an excellent report! Your advice on how to improve my diet lowered my A1C and improved my cholesterol. This has been the lowest my cholesterol has been in six years. Thanks again for your advice.” – Joe C.
“We saw Audrey around a year ago looking for help controlling diabetes. After her help and expertise, I was able to lose 40 pounds all on my own! Plus, I have been able to decrease my insulin use, and my A1C is now under control. I have so much more energy, and Audrey was able to give me the tools needed to succeed. She has no idea how life-changing this has been!” – Amy P.
“I just wanted to share a quick note and let you know that Maddy was amazing during our consultation. We were able to talk and elaborate on a few of my personal goals, including eating more effectively and finding healthier food options for meals and snacks. I have already scheduled a few appointments with her, and I am very excited to start this journey with her help!” – Zac B.
I had a great experience with my Hy-Vee dietitian, Leigh. Leigh is very knowledgeable when it comes to nutrition. Leigh explained what to look for when reading labels, figuring out carbs, and getting enough protein and fiber in my daily diet. My main goal was to lower my A1C and Leigh helped me do that! Also, it’s nice to know that in the future, I can always email or call Leigh with any questions or concerns. – Jane J.
Katie was very helpful giving us the tools to incorporate healthy choices into our lifestyle. Our favorite experience was a tour throughout the Hy-Vee aisles. Katie walked through every aisle with us and pointed out healthy choices and meal shortcuts we could incorporate into our on-the-go lifestyle. There is so many options in the store we did not know were available! -Robert H.
