The Lighten Up Club is a supportive space for women committed to making small, sustainable lifestyle changes. Together, we’ll focus on building long-term habits for wellness—without the pressure of quick fixes or restrictive diets.

This isn’t about perfection—it’s about progress. With the support of a like-minded group, you’ll stay accountable and inspired to keep moving forward.

Because building healthy habits is easier when you’re not doing it alone.

Group Support & Accountability:
Join a judgment-free community of like-minded women who uplift and motivate each other throughout their wellness journeys.

The Core Four:
Build essential habits with:

• Daily movement (at least 25 minutes)

• A colorful plate (aim for five servings of fruits and veggies daily)

• Nourishing meals with protein

• Mindfulness practices

Nutrition Insights:
Access practical nutrition information and personalized guidance without restrictive diets.

Evidence-Based Resources:
Benefit from scientifically-backed insights to help you make informed decisions.

Recipes, Tools, & Tips:

This group is for women who:

• Want to build sustainable health and wellness—at any stage of their journey.

• Need a supportive community to stay motivated and accountable.

• Are ready to commit to long-term lifestyle changes (no quick fixes here!).

Joining the Lighten Up Club is a commitment to your health and well-being. Here’s what you need to know:

• Enrollment Fee: $25 (one-time fee)

• Monthly Membership: $25 per month

Accountability matters! Your presence is essential for the group’s success, so reasonably consistent attendance is expected.

Choose the time that works best for you:

No quick fixes or gimmicks—just consistent effort and commitment. Change takes time, but the rewards are lasting:

• Better physical and mental wellness

• A supportive group of women walking the same path

If you’re ready to put in the work, you won’t have to do it alone.

The Lighten Up Club is led by Dr. Kirsten Kessler, a Naturopathic Doctor, Certified Nutrition Specialist, and Truce with Food Coach.

Kirsten designed this group to create the kind of accountability she needs to stay on track with her own goals.

As an active participant, she’ll be working alongside you, offering support, sharing insights, and helping everyone stay motivated on the journey toward long-term wellness.
