I Lost 100 POUNDS.
Now I Help Women Like Me Do the Same.
NO extreme diets. NO gym obsession. NO willpower games.
Just a personalized plan built around your real life... by a PITTSBURGH woman who's been exactly where you are.
30 minutes. No pressure. Just find out if it's a good fit.
That's Me. Both photos.
The woman on the right had tried everything. Every diet, every restart, every Monday morning promise. Nothing stuck, and every time the weight came back, it took a little more of her confidence with it.
The woman on the left didn't get there through some brutal regimen. She got there by finally understanding WHY her body was holding on to weight... and building a simple plan that actually worked with her life, not against it.
That's the difference. And it's exactly what I help other women do.
You're Not Lazy. You're Not Broken. You Just Haven't Had the Right Help.
If any of this sounds like your life right now, I want you to know I've been there, and I want to help you...
What I hear from the clients I work with:
"I avoid full-length mirrors, group photos, and certain social situations because of how I feel in my body."
"I've lost weight before — 20 pounds, 40 pounds, maybe more — and every single pound came back."
"I'm exhausted by noon, and the idea of cooking a 'healthy meal' after a long day feels impossible."
"I've tried keto, Weight Watchers, calorie counting, intermittent fasting, and I'm running out of things to try."
"I don't want a six-pack or a 'beach body'... I just want to feel comfortable in my own skin again."
"I've started wondering if maybe this is just how my body is now, and I should stop trying."
I know how that feels. I lived it for years. And I promise you, it doesn't have to stay this way.
I Went From Feeling Trapped in My Own Body to FINALLY FEELING FREE
I lost 100+ pounds using a life-changing approach that was never taught to me... I discovered it on my own.
It's Not About Willpower. It Never Was.
The #1 problem I experienced and most of the women I help experience:
Every diet you've ever tried made the same assumption: eat less, move more, and the weight will come off. And when it didn't work — or it worked for a few weeks and then stopped — you blamed yourself.
But what if the problem was never you?
What if your body has been trying to tell you something... and every diet you've tried just ignored it?
Inflammation. Food sensitivities. Hormonal shifts. Gut health. The real drivers of stubborn weight go far deeper than calories. And when you finally address those, your body stops fighting you.
My program is built on that same principle: we figure out what YOUR body needs, and we give it that. The weight loss follows.

This Is About Getting Your LIFE Back.
I'm not going to pretend this is about fitting into a certain dress size or hitting some number on a scale. For most of the women I work with, it's about something much bigger than that:
This is for you if you want to...
Have energy to actually enjoy your evenings instead of collapsing on the couch
Stop dreading every invitation because of what you'll have to wear
Keep up with your kids or grandkids without your knees and back screaming at you
Walk into a room without immediately wondering if you're the biggest person there
Look in the mirror and see someone you recognize again
Feel like you have years ahead of you... not like your body is aging faster than it should
It's not for you if you want to...
Work with a muscular personal trainer who looks like they've never experienced being more than 5 pounds overweight in their life
Keep getting generic advice from people who don't understand your individual needs
Meet Chanin Van Thiel
Pittsburgh-based Registered Nurse. Certified Holistic Weight Loss & GLP-1/Peptide Coach. And someone who lost over 100 pounds herself.
...But honestly? The credential that matters most is this: I lost over 100 pounds myself.
I spent years feeling trapped in a body that didn't feel like mine. I tried every diet. I'd lose weight, gain it back, lose it again, gain back more. I knew something deeper was going on, but no one could tell me what. So I started digging. I studied nutrition, holistic health, hormones, inflammation, gut health... and I found the answers that finally changed everything.
What I discovered didn't come from a diet book. It came from years of research, lived experience, and refusing to accept that this was just how my body had to be.

Frequently Asked Questions
I've tried everything. Why would this be any different?
Because this isn't another diet. The programs you've tried before gave you rules to follow: eat this, don't eat that, move more. They never asked why your body wasn't responding. I do. We figure out what's actually going on with your body and build a plan around that. When the approach finally matches YOUR biology, the results come, and they stick.
I need to lose a LOT of weight. Is this really for someone like me?
This is especially for someone like you. I didn't lose 15 vanity pounds — I lost over 100. I know what it's like when the number feels impossible. I know the shame, the exhaustion, the feeling like your body has given up on you. This program was built for women who need a real, significant change, not a quick fix.
I'm not on GLP-1 medications. Can I still work with you?
Absolutely. While I'm a certified GLP-1/peptide coach and many of my clients use these medications, the program works beautifully without them. The core of everything I do is personalized nutrition, sustainable habits, and getting your body working for you instead of against you. Medication is one tool — not a requirement.
I don't have time for a complicated program.
Good, because this isn't one. I designed this for busy women with real lives. Your weekly coaching call is 30–45 minutes. The daily actions are small and manageable. I'm not going to ask you to meal prep for four hours on Sunday or join a gym. I'm going to help you make smarter choices within the life you're already living.
What if I lose the weight but then gain it all back like I always do?
That's the whole reason this approach exists. When you lose weight through restriction and deprivation, your body fights back and the weight returns. But when you lose weight because your body is actually healthier, when you've addressed the inflammation, the food sensitivities, the patterns that were driving the weight in the first place, it stays off. We're not building a temporary fix. We're building a new normal.
I'm embarrassed to talk about my weight with a stranger.
I hear this a lot, and I completely understand. But remember: I've been where you are. There is zero judgment on my end — only understanding. Most women tell me they felt relieved within the first five minutes of our call, because for the first time, they were talking to someone who actually gets it.
30 minutes • No cost • No pressure • Virtual
You've Tried Doing This Alone. Let's Try Something Different.
If you're a woman in Pittsburgh who's tired of the cycle, tired of starting over, and ready for an approach that actually makes sense for your body and your life, I'd love to talk.
The call is free. It's 30 minutes. And it might be the conversation that changes everything.
