Holistic Personal Training
Sacks analyzes detailed personal information about the client in conjunction with metabolic science to determine how to meet the client’s weight and fitness goals. Sacks makes individualized recommendations concerning nutrition, exercise, habits, and overall mindset. Sacks analyzes client data with an eye toward minimal adjustments that have an enormous impact on overall health and fitness and are easy and sustainable. Sacks also offers DNA testing and analysis in combination with this service or separately.
Mind-Body Coaching
The 45-minute sessions in person or by Zoom involve assessing the client’s goals and providing basic recommendations for the most effective and efficient method of achieving the goals. Sacks’s expertise is the result of decades of research into human cognitive processing and its effect on a person’s mindset, expectations, and overall life experiences. In combination with Sacks’s recent research on metabolism, aging, autophagy, nutrition, and DNA-based propensities to lose fat and gain muscle, Sacks offers unusual insight and effective recommendations. In addition to her research, Sacks has certifications in hot yoga teaching, personal training, nutrition, weight loss, corrective exercise, and DNA-based fitness programs. With a holistic and drug-free, supplement-free approach to using food as medicine and enhancing the mind-body connection on both ends, she offers a multi-faceted methodology for clients to achieve their goals quickly.
DNA-Based Fitness Programs
Sacks is certified in DNA-based fitness programming that relies on genetic testing to identify each client’s physiological propensities relative to weight loss, food metabolism, and muscle production. This service includes the DNA test, analysis of test results, and recommendations for nutrition and exercise based on the client’s genetics. Sacks has been a personal trainer since 2024 and has special additional certifications to allow her to give meaningful nutrition and exercise recommendations based on the client’s DNA. The client may take the test results and recommendations to use with any personal trainer or may hire Sacks on an ongoing basis.
Private Yoga Instruction
Sacks has been certified as a hot yoga instructor since 2022 and specializes in private instruction in person or by Zoom. Sacks emphasizes breathing while explaining the theory of yoga and teaching various asanas. The client can choose extensive verbal cues including explanations for the poses, silent instruction set to music, or a combination. Instruction may be at room temperature or in a heated environment to maximize detoxification, skin rejuvenation, and weight loss. Any yoga will strengthen, heal, and increase spinal flexibility and resilience. “Happy spine, happy life.”
