Several months after the release of Cynthia’s latest New York Times best seller it became clear that Cynthia’s philosophy is much more than a book. What started as a weight loss plan soon became a lifestyle for many people across the country, and Cynthia now offers several S.A.S.S! Yourself ℠ services.

S.A.S.S! Yourself ℠ - Nutrition Coaching
Cynthia offers nutrition coaching for healthy adults (no significant past medical history, no existing medical conditions) who are following the plan from her newest book S.A.S.S! Yourself Slim: Conquer Cravings, Drop Pounds and Lose Inches and would like additional personal coaching and support. Coaching does not include a clinical nutrition assessment and is not an option for people with any existing medical conditions that require a customized therapeutic diet, such as thyroid conditions, food allergies or intolerances, high blood pressure, digestive disorders, high cholesterol, diabetes, etc. Each coaching session is one hour, and can take place in person, or via phone or Skype.

S.A.S.S! Yourself ℠ - Girlfriend Groups
One of Cynthia's unique services is offering fun, casual, customized workshops to small groups (5-6 people) of friends. If you and your friends are all following the eating plan from Cynthia's book, contact us to schedule a "girlfriend group." These customized groups can include anything from simply picking Cynthia's brain (like a group Q&A) to a cooking demo or class on the S.A.S.S! Yourself ℠ eating plan. Cynthia also offers tailored 4-8 week "girlfriend groups" for friends working toward a similar goal, from losing weight for a special occasion (wedding, vacation, class reunion) to eating right for a race, walk, marathon or other fitness event.

S.A.S.S! Yourself ℠ - Cooking Classes
Whether one-on-one, a small group gathering, food market, or event, Cynthia offers cooking demos that showcase her unique ‘5 piece puzzle’ recipe strategy. In addition to her master’s degrees in both nutrition science and public health Cynthia completed formal culinary training. She personally created and tested each of the 105 flavorful recipes in S.A.S.S! Yourself Slim and is continuously developing new deliciously simple meals that follow her philosophy. Each of Cynthia’s meals combines fixed portions of produce, whole grains, lean protein, plant based fat, and natural seasonings, with an emphasis on natural, organic and in-season ingredients. And because Cynthia is a registered dietitian cooking classes can be customized for special dietary needs, including vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, allergy free, or other distinct or therapeutic needs.

S.A.S.S! Yourself ℠ - Workshops
Cynthia offers corporate talks and small group workshops that incorporate her philosophies about nutrition and wellness, including: why the obesity rate has skyrocketed; adopting a new approach to weight loss and healthy eating that celebrates food and does not involve counting calories, points or grams; overcoming emotional and socially contagious eating; how to fall in love with being physically active; the connection between our eating patterns and disease risks, and the power of your plate to optimize your physical and emotional health.

The notion that laughter is the best medicine has probably existed for years but the first real proof surfaced in the 1970s when Norman Cousins, a writer and magazine editor of the popular Saturday Review, was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease. He believed that if stress could worsen his health, which was known at the time, than laughter could improve it. With the approval of his doctor he tested the theory on himself by prescribing funny videos and his disease went into remission. He wrote a paper about his experience that was published in the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine as well a book, Anatomy of an Illness: A Patient’s Perspective, which became a best seller, and opened our eyes to the connection between laughter and wellness.
