The interview

Who are you and what was your struggle before starting the program?

I'm Deborah Olek. I'm from Delaware, and my profession is teacher and academic coach. Weight was always something that I struggled with, and at the time I began with Elizabeth, I had had a sudden, unexpected, probably menopause-induced weight gain, and the way that made me feel was out of control.

What led you to seek out Elizabeth McGann specifically?

I always thought I knew what to do to get back on track, but no matter what I was doing wasn't working, so I knew I needed something different, a different approach. I saw Elizabeth on Instagram, and I contacted her, and to my delight, she contacted me right back, and we began working together.

How would you describe Elizabeth's coaching style and approach?

Elizabeth's approach is personalized to me and tailored to me. She asks a lot of questions to get to know you and what your needs are, what your lifestyle is like, and how her program and the tips that she has for you can fit into that lifestyle, not that you fit into her program. No, she journeys with you and makes the program work for what's best for you.

How did this compare to your previous experiences with health professionals?

Previous to working with Elizabeth, I was working with a nutritionist whose services were covered under our insurance, and I felt as if that was a cookie-cutter approach with that particular individual. She had great ideas, but I don't think she heard me or got me. With Elizabeth, right from the beginning, I could tell that she was interested in learning about me and how she could help me reach my goals.

What specific results have you achieved since working together?

Working with Elizabeth, I lost probably around 18 pounds, and when I'm applying what Elizabeth has taught me, I feel in control and confident, and that's very important to me. I hear her gentle, calm, kind, loving voice in my head, and I can hear her encouraging me.

How do you handle setbacks or difficult seasons like the summer?

During the summer, right now, it's difficult to stay on track, but I'm not panicked about getting back on track because I know I have the tools in my toolbox that are a gift from Elizabeth and my time spent with her. I know I can get back on track and will get back on track because I know what to do.

How did Elizabeth support you through personal challenges during the program?

I went through a very challenging time in my life. I had some issues that I was dealing with, and I did confide, of course, in Elizabeth. She became a friend, and she became a person who listened, and I really looked forward to our weekly meetings. She walked with me through those life stressors as well, realizing the impact they could have on our process.

Frequently asked

Is Elizabeth McGann's program worth the monetary investment?

Deborah Olek noted that while there is a significant monetary commitment, she found it 'well worth it.' She felt confident that the personalized approach was worth the try and expressed that she is 'so glad' she made the investment.

How does Elizabeth McGann's coaching differ from a standard nutritionist?

Deborah found that unlike the 'cookie-cutter' approach of insurance-covered nutritionists who didn't 'hear' her, Elizabeth provided a personalized, intimate experience. Elizabeth tailored the program to fit Deborah's specific lifestyle and stressors rather than forcing her to fit into a generic template.

Can you stay on track with Elizabeth McGann's program during stressful times?

Yes, Deborah shared that Elizabeth 'walked with' her through very challenging life stressors. Instead of abandoning the process, Elizabeth incorporated these challenges with understanding, helping Deborah maintain her tools even during difficult periods.

And with Elizabeth, right from the beginning, I could tell that she was interested in learning about me and how she could help me reach my goals. We were working toward my goals, and that set her apart from other people I had worked with and certainly other programs that are much more generic and not as intimate and individualized as hers. And yes, I'll be honest, there is a monetary commitment, well worth it, and what I heard made me feel confident that it was worth giving it a try. I'm so glad I did. Elizabeth's approach is collaborative. She doesn't tell me what to do. She learns about my lifestyle, my stressors, how I need to incorporate her ideas into my life, and can I. I'll be honest, I went through a very challenging time in my life. I had some issues that I was dealing with, and I did confide, of course, in Elizabeth because you can't discuss things that aren't related to that when you have issues going on. And Elizabeth became a friend, and she became a person who listened, and I really looked forward to our weekly meetings, and she walked with me through those life stressors as well, realizing the impact they could have on our process. Not abandoning our process, but incorporating that with understanding and guidance, and I think I was very surprised that we became friends through the process. There is nothing you will regret about working with Elizabeth, and your life will become much better in the long run once you have this opportunity, once you take this opportunity, actually, to work with her. Her expertise and her knowledge and her personality and the way she applies all of those things is very unique, and I would highly recommend that you take that chance and work with her. You will not regret it.
