It's never worked out for the customer nor myself to go that route. 🥦Yours In Health 💪 Coach Brian

I reached out to Brian to work with my amazing mom. Her review: If you are looking to make improvements in your health, Brian Parana is your coach! I was very hesitant but after speaking with Brian, I knew he was going to help me make successful life changes. I had tried so many diets with stops and starts and no permanent results. I work long days and often travel, and it is a high stressed job which I put my goal of becoming healthy on the back burner. Brian taught me how to find balance and value in investing in my well-being. I had studied nutrition in my earlier career but with so many changes and theories, I needed help navigating what would give me results in a safe and long-term way. Brian’s weekly calls kept me accountable and was full of great tips to achieve my goals. His program was designed for my unique needs. He made it comfortable with no judgement but accountability. Weight loss, sleep, stress and movement are all interdependent and Brian created an achievable program where I saw incremental progress each week. His library of videos and content are great! There is a vast amount of information on all topics that contribute to creating a healthy lifestyle for you. Brian is always available by text for any questions, support or to celebrate your big and small wins!! He is smart, motivating and strives to create an environment which you are constantly learning and growing. Brian has helped me remember my health has value and I deserve all I can achieve at any age. I guarantee Brian will get you to your goal. Highly recommend!! -Janet

Coach Brian was an absolute pleasure to work with. When I was looking for options to get started, something that stood out to me with him was his foundation in intuitive eating. His priority is to teach you the fundamentals of nutrition so that you yourself can make choices and decisions. This made the journey feel so easy. Other options I looked at utilized apps and strict tracking, which I feel would had made me a little too crazy, personally. He really taught me intuitive eating and helped me get over my fear of nutrition tracking apps such a my fitness pal… we did a lot of reframing with my mindset in weighing in, tracking food, etc. I am no longer afraid of tracking or weighing in!! I was apprehensive at first as well, being that I *thought* I was doing everything right and working out correctly. But he really just provided such easy adjustments that made me fall in love with my workout routine even more! He is always available for texts and is great to bounce off questions on. He always made me feel empowered and excited about my progress!! After our time together, I’ve easily gotten closer to my weight goals. This is the best I’ve felt in years!! I still have more progress to make, but I am confident in what I’ve learned with him and look forward to keeping in touch. I highly recommend Brian for anyone, no matter where you fall on the health and wellness spectrum- whether you used to be really fit and now are lost after life events, or you’re just getting started, Brian is extremely resourceful and will help you reach your goals! :)

Hi Nina, Thank you so much for your lovely review! It was truly a pleasure with our work together. Over the last few weeks, I’m so happy to hear the shift towards intuitive eating has made your journey feel easier and more enjoyable. Your ability to learning and embracing the process made all the difference. I’m delighted that the adjustments we made together helped you fall in love with your workout routine even more. It’s wonderful to know you feel empowered and excited about your progress. Seeing you figure out your daily situation, finding a strategy that works - You've made fantastic strides, and I have no doubt you'll continue to achieve your goals. I’m always here for you, whether you have questions or just need a bit of support. Keep up the great work, and I look forward to our continued work together! Your's In Health Coach Brian

I found Brian on Thimbtack after searching for nutrition and health coaches for my husband as a Fathers Day gift. As background, my husband is in really good shape and a super clean eater, but even with cutting carbs and hitting the gym for 3 hours a day, he wasn't gaining muscle the way he wanted. After talking with Brian and learning about the foods and calorie intake he should be consuming, he realized the problem was that he was actually consuming far too FEW calories to hit his goals. Brian gave him great information and my husband saw a major change in his body in less than 4 weeks. The knowledge Brian was able to give him will serve him throughout life and that is invaluable. Speaking of value, most of the coaches I found initially were really far outside of the budget, but I felt Brian's services were affordable while being TOP NOTCH! Will refer him to everyone we know!

Brian Parana Health Coach and Nutrition Specialist's reply

Hi Elyse! Thank you so much for your thoughtful and detailed review! Working with Kris was great. He is seeing such good results leaning out while eating more calories. We have been dialing him in with his nutrition by adjusting his intake to better support his training. It's always rewarding to see the positive changes in someone's health and fitness journey, especially when it happens so quickly. I'm glad my services have been effective. That's the whole point! Your recommendation means a lot to me, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to have made a difference. I'm excited to continue giving Kris the guidance he needs to get faster and recover from his training. Performing His Best Coach Brian

What a great experience working with Brian!! When I started off this program in February, I knew NOTHING about nutrition, and frankly health. In starting my program with Brian, he educated me from day one. I live a pretty social life, and was having trouble losing and maintaining my weight. I was never too overweight, but I had lost my confidence. Working with Brian over 4 or so months gave me my confidence back! He taught me how to eat healthier, how important nutrition is, and as simple as how to plan my meals. He was responsive, always there when I needed him for advice or questions, and showed up for me every day! Overall I couldn’t be more happy with the experience, and I definitely recommend working with him in your fitness and health journey!!

Brian Parana Health Coach and Nutrition Specialist's reply

Hey Timothy, Thanks a lot for the awesome review! It's been great working with you since February. Seeing you grow and transform has been really rewarding. We've pushed through a lot with social settings with food to come up with other strategies to not over eat. I'm glad to hear you’ve regained your confidence and found a healthier way to eat and plan your meals. Your dedication and willingness to learn made it all possible. I'm always here if you need advice or support. Keep up the great work, and thanks for recommending me to others on their fitness and health journey! Keep Melting Away Coach Brian

I am extremely grateful for the guidance and support I have received from Brian. His extensive food knowledge has been instrumental in helping me make healthier choices without making outlandish sacrifices that a normal fad diet would provide. His flexible dieting technique allowed me to view healthy food in a new way and helped me achieve my weight loss goals. He provides great accountability and has kept me on track and motivated to continue making positive changes. He was always there to answer questions throughout the process, even while he was on vacation. Thanks to his expertise and encouragement, I have already lost almost 40 pounds and am continuing to see progress towards my ultimate goal. He was also able to help me with a workout plan ideas that worked well for me. I highly recommend my nutritionist to anyone looking to improve their health and achieve their weight loss goals.

Brian Parana Health Coach and Nutrition Specialist's reply

Hey Andrew, Thanks a ton for the awesome review! It's been great working with you and seeing the progress you've made. I'm stoked that my flexible dieting approach and workout plans have been a good fit for you. Dropping almost 40 pounds is no small feat—seriously impressive work! You worked daily to improve your health. You look so much more confident and I know your commitment and effort are paying off, and I’m pumped to see you keep pushing toward your goals. You know I've got your back, whether it’s answering questions or offering support, no matter where I am. Thanks again for the shoutout. Keep crushing it, man! Thank you for the interview too! https://youtu.be/ETa-yI9BMpE Cheers, Coach Brian
