Stacey Venneman Nutrition – Connect the Dots

Welcome

There are no quick fixes in life because real, lasting change takes time, effort, and persistence. Whether it’s improving health, building a career, or maintaining relationships, true success is the result of consistent actions and learning from failures. Shortcuts often lead to temporary or superficial results, while deeper transformation requires discipline and resilience. Quick solutions may offer immediate relief, but they rarely address the root cause of a problem, leading to repeated setbacks. Growth comes from the journey—through challenges, setbacks, and perseverance—not from an easy way out. The key to long-term success is patience and steady progress.

What our clients say

Stacey was my last glimmer of hope….I had tried literally everything to lose weight, and I was slowly succumbing to the mindset that it just wasn’t possible in my forties. Fast forward four months…I’m down 20 lbs. and am feeling better than I did in my thirties, thanks to Stacey!

Before I worked with Stacey, the diets and meal plans I tried were always difficult to follow, requiring specialty ingredients/recipes, counting macros and calories, tracking eating windows, etc. Stacey keeps it simple, Amen! She gives you a plan to follow each week and explains the rationale behind it. I am able to make my regular family meals and just leave an item or two off my plate.

I’m an on-the-go working mom, so I need a lot of flexibility when it comes to meals. Stacey gives me many food options and general rules for both snacks and meals to keep me on track under all kinds of circumstances, from all-day board meetings to sports carpooling to road trips to holiday parties.

One of the keys to my success has been logging everything I eat at the end of each day. It really keeps me accountable and enables Stacey to quickly see what’s happening with my metabolism. This was key in her discovering that I have insulin resistance, so I now know that I need to eat sources of sugar with a protein and fat to avoid insulin spikes and the resulting weight gain.

Thanks to Stacey, I was able to go to Cancun for 7 days and come back weighing less than when I left without depriving myself of the treats I enjoy on vacation!

Learning the science behind eating was important for me. Stacey takes the time to explain your nutrition plan and why we omit or gradually introduce certain types of foods. This has truly empowered me to make good choices for myself in any situation.

I’m not going to lie…the first three weeks working with Stacey were rough. I went through a sugar detox, and my energy levels were extremely low. I had cravings, especially at night. I took a leap of faith and just followed Stacey’s plan, and I’m so grateful I did. Once my body converted to burning fat rather than sugar for energy, I felt better than I had in years.

My metabolism has healed to the point where I can have a treat here and there, and it doesn’t show up on the scale like it used to.

When you eat clean, your taste buds elevate. Stacey told me this, but I didn’t believe her until I experienced it for myself. Now, that piece of pie I used to crave tastes obnoxiously sweet and so many restaurant foods taste way too salty. I can honestly say it has helped me stay the course.

Weighing your food is a pain at first, but it helped me learn how much I was truly putting into my body. Now, I’m able to eyeball it, and I know this has been instrumental in my weight loss journey.

Stacey will work around your reasonable must haves. When I started with her, I loved a particular chocolate peanut butter protein shake. It was fast, so I could get out the door in the morning, and it felt like a treat. She got the nutrition facts from me, and incorporated it into my plan…as of today, I’ve lost 20 lbs.

Stacey gets it. She’s been there. She knows what it’s like to be in peri-menopause and battle weight gain. She can relate, and I can’t tell you how helpful that has been in trusting in the process and eventually reaching my goal weight.

If you are looking for a quick fix, Stacey isn’t for you. If you’re looking for someone who can help you to lose weight the healthy way, who truly cares about you as a person and will be there for you every step of the way, Stacey is your girl!

Stacey has taught me about mindful eating. In the past, I tended to leave my own eating to chance…going long periods of time without eating or eating whatever was convenient on the way to work or while shuffling kids around. Now, I plan out my days, and carry a small, insulated lunch bag and a water bottle everywhere I go.
