Are YOU Ready For A Reset?
& To Get Real Results Like These...
Why Women Join Vital Spark:
Obstacle #1:
"Nothing works for me anymore. No matter how healthy I eat or how much I workout, I just can't seem to lose weight."
This obstacle is common for one main reason:
Chronic dieting slows down the metabolism and causes hormonal dysfunction. Until the metabolism is reset and the hormones are balanced, you won't be able to lose fat. And if you continue to fight it by going back to diets and high intensity exercise, you'll just put on more body fat. That's why the first phase of Vital Spark's 5-phase approach is to recover from hormonal imbalances.
Obstacle #2:
"I can follow a diet and lose a few pounds, but as soon as I have 1 dinner out, I feel like I'm back to square one."
This obstacle is common for one main reason:
The diet industry wants you to fail and it wants you to think that YOU are the reason you keep failing. That's how they get you to keep coming back! Here at Vital Spark, we teach you how to get the lean body you want with balance so that you can live your life. That's what makes our results sustainable, so that our clients never have to invest in another coach again.
Obstacle #3:
"I know what I need to do to be healthier, but I just can't seem to get myself to consistently do it."
This obstacle is common for one main reason:
Changing your body isn't as simple as "tell me what to do and I'll do it". ESPECIALLY when hormonal or gut dysfunction comes into play and causes low energy, low motivation, depression, or anxiety. That's why re-wiring your brain to create healthy habits and behaviors is an integral part of the Vital Spark curriculum.
Do You Struggle With Any Of These Obstacles?
The truth is if you want to look and feel your best on the outside, you need to take care of what is going on the INSIDE first. And this includes a woman’s unique physiology and mindset.
Most health & fitness coaches fail at helping women achieve their fat loss goals for the long term because they don’t understand hormones and metabolism specific to women. They only understand calories in versus calories out, and what works for men.
Did you know fitness and nutrition research wasn’t required to include women until the mid 1990’s?
Because of that, women spend a ton of money only to achieve lackluster results and then eventually gain the weight back anyway. Which ultimately means they continue to yo-yo diet causing even more havoc on their hormones and metabolism making fat gain easier and easier over time.
Sound Familiar?
This is why we have created
The Metabolic Reset Method

These Toned Muscle Matrix workouts are customized specifically to you, your body type, and your hormone profile. Which means you'll get double the results in just half the time.

These Women Were Ready To Level Up!
Pam
“In my first call with Vanessa I was a bit skeptical, how did she know anything about my menopausal body? I had tried and failed for many years and accepted the body I had, but slowly, every year another pound stuck. I decided to give it a serious try, and it actually worked!! Within 3 months I fit into my “aspiration” pants comfortably and I did not feel restricted in what I was eating. I did not have sweet cravings like I did before. But more importantly, I now know how to feed my body in a sustainable way and feel confident that I can keep this up. My energy levels are great, no 3 o’clock naps. I have been going on for 7 months now and I feel like I have changed my lifestyle. I would recommend this to anyone who feels stuck and for whom just eating less doesn’t work anymore. It is the best thing I have done for my health and my confidence.”
Anne
“I had been dealing with my hypothyroidism for 10+ years and was on the brink of rock bottom. I had tried calorie deficits, vegan diets, whole 30, cutting out alcohol, HIIT training… I had tried everything and literally nothing worked, and I was one step from giving up forever. I thought if I had tried everything already without success then how would a coach be able to help me? But not only did VGFN help me with healing my hormones, but they taught me that you can actually heal your body with more food, less exercise, and a balanced regiment! My body did a 180, my digestion was healed, I lost 30lbs, I feel like a different person, and now after a year with VGFN, I have a roadmap to get better, stronger, and healthier on my own!”
Lauren
“When I started working with VGFN my kids had just turned 1 and 2.5 years old, and I was feeling really tired, really burned out, and I felt like we as a family weren’t making the healthiest choices because we were always short on time and stretched thin. I saw the transformations on Vanessa’s Instagram and I wanted that for myself, but I knew that I had too far to go on my own and without getting help and accountability, then my life would continue in a direction I didn’t want it to go. I was worried that I didn’t know enough about fitness or nutrition to get started. But I decided I needed to just dive in and commit to myself. In the last 6 months I’ve learned so much about nutrition and working out, I have so much more energy, and I feel so much better about myself now. And most importantly, I feel like I’m setting a really good example for my kids. It’s truly been one of the greatest things I’ve ever done for myself.”
Jarae
“I knew that I needed a lot of direction. Whenever I tried to lose weight in the past, I very much fell into diet culture and would restrict my calories and carbs. Vanessa came recommended to me by a friend, and working with her team has been beyond my expectations. I’ve learned how to eat properly for my body and how to have a better relationship with food. I can have ice cream, cookies, cake whenever I want and I’m still continuing to lose weight and build muscle. I’ve learned to love food, but also to truly love myself and my body. VGFN's process works! I hope you take the chance and reach out to her and start your journey as well!”
