What are people saying about Fuel For Life?
"Health is not simply the absence of sickness."
~Hannah Green
"Lauren has transformed my approach to a healthy lifestyle by helping me to create a plan that works specifically for me. I have always had a difficult time sticking to rules and routines with a limited time available as a working student, but her method of teaching both healthy eating habits and workouts has allowed me to remain active and healthy without much effort or time. She is also the best motivator that I know! I now feel equipped to make better decisions and remain in control of my life for the long term."
Hannah, 22
"I am so pleased to offer a testimonial about Lauren Simms, of Fuel For Life, LLC. I am a 60 year old male who has had my share of intestinal tract surgeries. Over 20 years ago, I had a partial stomach removal and complete gall bladder removal. I faced so many difficult and embarrassing issues such as severe diarrhea, bloating, and other intestinal distress. Years of traditional prescription medicine did very little good and finally I met Lauren and took her advice about either taking or eliminating certain foods and also taking suggested supplements. Her counseling with regard to diet and supplements has enabled me to feel 100% better. I recommend Lauren very highly to anyone who is experiencing health, dietary, or weight issues".

"As a former athlete with a full time desk job Lauren took me from the worst shape of my life to what is probably one of the healthiest in my life. I started work with her in January 2011 and by late April of the same year with her coaching and commitment I physically felt fantastic. She completely adjusted my meal plan and I started eating great tasting natural foods and at the same time began my workouts. Just before I would hit a plateau in the gym she would switch my workouts, confuse my body and I would continue seeing results. I very much appreciated her thoroughness with respect to studying what I was putting in to my body and catering it to mesh perfectly with my workouts in the gym. Without her nutritional tips I wouldn’t have been able to achieve the goals we collectively set. I’m excited to continue my work with her."

"I started working with Lauren about 1.5 years ago. At that time I was the typical early 40s male. Minimal to no exercise, overweight, high cholesterol, and pre diabetic with a desire to get in better shape and get my health under control. I was expecting a little help to get motivated at the gym to get on track. Instead Lauren transformed the way I live, feel, and eat. She really helped me understand the importance of nutrition in a very deep way. Good fats, lean protein, and complex carbs have become the building blocks of my daily fuel. In addition Lauren challenged me mentally and physically. Helping me understand that nutrition and exercise have to live in balance. Nutrition provides the fuel and exercise gives you the opportunity to challenge and build your body. Weight training, interval training, cardio, and flexibility exercises are all important to be healthy. I still work with Lauren every two weeks because I enjoy it, but the fact is that I no longer need her after all the things she has taught me. Oh, and for all your number centric people here are the stats, but that is just a very small part of the story."

"I met Lauren in her RPM class. She is an inspirational instructor, trainer & coach. Lauren is tough and encouraging and pushes me to do my best and do things I didn't know I was capable of. Lauren is the best cheerleader I know! Anyone who has the pleasure of working with her to better their health is very lucky! Lauren encourages and supports me to be the best possible version of myself. I am ever so grateful!"
Abbie, 39
"Lauren has a unique blend of compassion for her clients, enthusiasm for training hard, and passion for improving those who seek her council. Her love for fitness and health is contagious! I love the days she's in the gym."
Jill, 34
"Working with Lauren has been nothing short of life-changing. I initially met with Lauren for a weight loss consultation, but during the process of gathering information for my health history, she quickly determined that the long-standing GI problems I was experiencing could like be resolve by changes in my diet. I was skeptical that thsi could be true as I had already seen three different doctors and had a complete GI work up including an endoscopy, CT scan, and blood work. With no clear diagnosis, my symptoms were assumed to be stress related. Lauren explained what she suspected was actually causing the gastrointestinal problems and within three days of following her recommendations, I was symptom Free.
Christa, 55
"Before wokring with Lauren, I was convinced (personally and by doctors) that I would have to live Iwith severe chronic acid reflex which would eventually lead to surgery. However, thanks to Lauren's nutritional coaching, I am no longer reliant on pharmaceuticals and I am able to fully (and easily) manage my condition--which is now almost nonexistent--with diet and natural supplements. I will admit, at first I was skeptical that "natural" changes could do what prescriptions could not, but Lauren's vast knowledge and personal experience quickly offered undeniable results and made me a true believer."

"When you first started working at Vitamin Cottage I weighed over 220 lbs...I had high blood pressure and my cholesterol levels were off the charts. My MD had just told me that if I kept going in this direction, I would die of a heart attack...I have never confessed this to anyone. You were the only person who seemed to be genuinely honest and open with me about my eating habits and overall health. I really had given up. Through your gentle suggestions and ideas, I felt some hope again. Your ideas weren't hard or unreasonable...as a matter of fact, they were so simple and I was amazed at the results!!! I now weigh in around 173 lbs and feel sooooooo much better. You saved my life. Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

"I’m very blessed to have known Lauren Simms for the past three years and that after several years of turning down her help, this past October she welcomed me with open arms to help me get healthy. I am a diabetic who until recently had uncontrolled blood sugar, an uncontrollable thirst for soda, and a big dislike of the gym. With Lauren’s help I was able to get off the “diet” train, quit my six pack a day soda habit for over 7 months now and make drastic and life altering changes to my lifestyle. I was also able to lower my blood sugar and overall just feel better on a daily basis. With her support and encouragement, I not only made my way back to the gym but fell in love with it and how great I feel when I leave! Her motto is always “No one ever leaves the gym feeling worse.” Lauren isn’t someone who just tells you what to do, she spends a great deal of time getting to know you, your likes and dislikes, your goals for health/weight loss/exercise, and creates a plan made specifically for you. Her encouragement and no-nonsense approach to overall wellness is the perfect combination of cheerleader and being held accountable. The amount of knowledge I have gained from her and the confidence to make smart and healthy choices in my life are all owed to Lauren. She is a key member of my health support team that I will forever be grateful for and will continue to look to for information, guidance and support. With her help, you will be able to achieve whatever you set out to do…but be prepared because once you’re on board with her, your life will never be the same! Your dreams of optimum health will come true!"

"I started working with Lauren as a personal trainer and from the very beginning, I knew that working with her was going to be different. She really met me where I was at, both physically and mentally. The workouts she put together were really tough, but they were always manageable. She encouraged me to celebrate small winsand to focus on the big picture. This was the first time a fitness professional had taken this approach with me. Although reaching my goals was challenging, she made becoming a healthy individual, attainable.
I continued to work with Lauren on the nutritional side of things. We worked on a meal plan that really worked for my lifestyle. She is not a fan of fad diets, but more about the types of food people eat and the actual ingredients of the food you eat. She never focused on “DON’T” eat X, but rather think about what you are putting into your body. I have not made a microwave dinner or meal in over 2 years!
When I found out I was pregnant with our first (due in October 2011), Lauren was one of the first people I contacted. Her knowledge about vitamins, food, and exercise, was instrumental in developing a plan for my pregnancy.
Lauren has been someone that I can turn to when it comes to wanting to create or stick to a healthy lifestyle. She does not see just one component of life as healthy, but rather helps you see that all components can work together. I would recommend anyone to work with Lauren, regardless of their fitness level. She is full of life, energy, enthusiasm, and has a way of always encouraging and supporting you. Lauren is amazing!"
