About Your Online Weight Loss Coach and this Site

Alex Ragner is your online weight loss coach here, at BrainyWeightLoss.com - your practical guide to fast and healthy weight loss, a concept based on using synergistically three elements:

• Cutting-edge body-type nutrition
• Fun, smart workouts
• Holistic mind-body tools

Whether you’re 10 or 100 pounds overweight, the online weight loss support at BrainyWeightLoss.com helps you get smart about eating to burn fat, take charge of your body and heal your relationship with food, so you can finally release the extra weight.

Why an online weight loss coach? Well, "online" because nowadays you don't need to be limited by geography any longer, and "weight loss coach" because with a coach you lose weight faster and easier than you would just on your own.

If you think that only athletes and actors are getting coached, think again.

People wanting to advance their careers get career coaches, smart business owners get business coaches, smart couples get relationship coaches, and yes, if you want to lose weight once and for all without much fuss you'll want to get a weight loss coach.

How Can an Online Weight Loss Coach Help You?

An online weight loss coach is well-trained, experienced, has specific insights and targeted advice just for you.

With a wide-ranging expertise in holistic nutrition and sports psychology, formally trained as a therapist and life coach, using advanced tools like Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), Alex teaches you how to switch your body from fat-storing to fat-burning and shows you how to turn around unsupportive habits that keep you from releasing weight and living a fully expressed life at your optimal weight.

What does losing weight have to do with living a fully expressed life?

Well, if you have struggled with your weight for a long time, you surely know that losing weight is about much more than weighing less. You, like most overweight people, might experience feelings of inadequacy, even avoid to "show up" when opportunities arise. As a result, you might feel isolated, frustrated, hopeless and depressed.

But it doesn’t have to be like this.

A personal online weight loss coach can help you eliminate food cravings, mood swings, emotional eating, heal from the inside out, regain your energy and joie de vivre, get rid of your (perceived "protective") layers of body fat and stay at your optimal weight without frustration and struggle.

What Qualifies Your Online Weight Loss Coach...

...to advise you on losing weight and keeping it off?

Three things. Personal experience, extensive specialized training, and the passion of bringing powerful, cutting-edge neuropsychology tools for change to YOU, blended in a practical, easy to use format.

Here’s Alex's story in her own words...

Born and raised in Romania, in a family that always (thankfully) made me stretch to do more and better and (unfortunately) pressured me to fit the mold, learning to use food to comfort my sense of guilt, inadequacy (sometimes even worthlessness) and not being understood happened at an early age.

It was around this time that I’ve started to become self-conscious about my weight...

Teenage Years
In a culture that was seeing creativity and unconventionality as a BAD thing and tended to disregard the expression of emotions and feelings, I learned to hide my soft self and toughen up, eating whenever I needed to numb my old emotional hurt and unsatisfied hunger for acceptance and approval.

All-work, No Time
Later on, as a self-employed health professional wanting to rise to the top of my game in my new country (Canada) and starting a second business, I used to have a lot going on. Servicing current clients, acquiring new ones, continuing education trainings, board certification exams, besides family demands... I was working hard and used to think that I "didn’t have the time" to sit down and enjoy an unhurried, nutritious meal during the day.

Self-abuse
Always on the go, putting everybody else’s needs before my own, expecting a lot from myself, I was constantly having too many things on my plate - pun intended ;)
I've often abused my body through overwork and lack of sleep and my spirit through self-criticism for not doing "enough" or guilt for eating the wrong things.

My Love of Food...
..made it easy to misuse eating to cover stress, fatigue, overwhelm or celebrate achievements and success.
Tight deadlines, work pressures and the inability to say "NO" were the usual triggers for my stress eating, especially at night, straight from the fridge... As you can imagine, pounds kept adding month after month.

I've gone the whole nine yards - "magic" pills, fad diets, slimming patches, fat burners, carb blockers, seaweed powder, deep-ocean mud wraps, mystic star dust - only to be left starved, weakened, and depressed.

Can you relate?

Switching Careers: NLP & EFT Life Coach
It took me years to figure out what was going on. It wasn’t until my passion for self-improvement and ability to motivate and inspire others made me get formally trained first as a life coach and soon after as a NLP and EFT practitioner, that I became able to control my emotional eating using these cutting-edge modalities.
EFT helped erase deep-seated emotional wounds, NLP reframed sabotaging inner dialogue and self-hypnosis replaced unhealthy behaviors with new, supportive ones.

More Training: Ayurveda, Food Psychology & Body Type Nutrition
Like most therapists, I've also gone through additional professional trainings - Ayurveda, Body Type Nutrition, Food Psychology - in order to expand and deepen my understanding of soulful eating and to become able to articulate winning strategies and individualized approaches for losing weight without deprivation, hunger, ridiculous diets or dangerous pills.

This is when I truly began to have the desire to work with more people that are like I once was: overworked, overstressed, overtired, emotionally under-nourished, and struggling with extra weight.

I truly believe that a lifestyle change CAN be achieved even with a busy life. Yes, not everything works for everyone in the same way, but I know that when we truly listen to ourselves we can identify what our own body needs.

Everyday I'm working with people who are learning to discover their individual strengths, take responsibility for their thinking and actions and as a result, accomplish tremendous things and go much farther than they ever though possible.
