The Slim Tribe Credo
We at The Slim Tribe believe the best and simplest way to lose weight is through a combination of calorie counting, exercise, and education, and to provide a community setting in which to do this.
Our aim is to provide a program that allows you maximum food choices so you can live a regular life during the program. We will be educating you and encouraging you to eat a certain way but will leave the choices up to you. We encourage you to interact with The Slim Tribe Team and your fellow participants.
We use exercise as part of the program to enhance your metabolism and create an increased calorie deficit for you to have success losing weight.
We use education and expert opinion to help you and to prepare you for maintaining the new healthier “you” in the months and years ahead. We have certified nutritionists, a certified neurolinguistics coach, a Stanford PhD in Regenerative Medicine and Bioengineering and Northwestern PhD in Chemistry, past participants with personal experience in weight loss programs who have kept off the weight, and many more expert guest speakers available to you during the course of the program.
We’re so excited to help you embark on this journey and we can’t wait to meet you!
Meet The Team
Hi, I’m Karl! I am Irish-born, and I have two grown boys. I have lived in many places including Dublin, London, Spain, Mexico, New York and in the Bay area where I have spent most of the last 20+ years.
I have had an interesting and varied career which crossed paths with the health-care industry for the first time in 2011 when I founded a physical therapy company.
The inspiration to start The Slim Tribe came out of my own experiences trying out different diets until I realized a health plan had to be simple enough that it could become part of one’s life and healthy enough to improve one’s long-term health. Hence the focus on calorie counting, exercise and community support. I lost weight and kept it off by following the blueprint you see today at The Slim Tribe. I hope you join us and have great success with the program.
Hi, I’m Heather. I am a native Californian and have lived most of my life in the Bay Area. I am thrilled to be part of this organization that is empowering people to become a healthier version of themselves. I, too, have struggled with weight and know what it feels like to not feel my best knowing that I could feel better. I am here to help you bring out the best version of yourself. I needed help in the past and now I am here for you.
My background is in Nero Linguistic Programming and Coaching. I became certified because I wanted to help others the way I had been helped. Sometimes we just need an unprejudiced ear and then we come to our own insights. I am not here with all the answers. The answers are in you. I am here as your guide.
Hi there, I’m Jacky! I’m a San Mateo County native with a passion for healthy food. My background is primarily in hospitality- I even opened a vegan and gluten-free restaurant after graduating from Cornell’s Hotel School Program- though my zone of genius now lies in marketing. Two years ago, I started Off Your Plate with a mission to drive more organic traffic to small businesses.
When I’m not helping start-ups find more of their ideal clients, you can find me cooking in my home kitchen or off on the trails training for my marathon in December. I’m always on the hunt for fun restaurant recommendations or a new great recipe. Another fun fact about me, is that I’m certified in plant-based nutrition. 🙂
