Game Plan

A Real Life Approach to Weight Loss

Lynette Patterson had me at the top of our interview.

“I grew up thinking you went to school, got married, had a family, lived your life and eventually retired,” Patterson said. “Two years ago I attended a weekend class [through Newfield, a coach training program]. I’d never heard the word ‘transformation’ before. Life coaching is new terminology here in Eastern Tennessee. I realized I had more to offer the world.”

Now Patterson is one of three life coaches on staff at Chrysalis Weight Management, a center in Greeneville, Tenn.– under the direction of Dr. Jo Lynn Hawthorne — that is cutting edge in its thinking. While most weight loss programs focus on primarily food and exercise, Chrysalis has figured out that there’s more to it.

“You know what? It’s not about the food, it’s about the behavior,” said Patterson.

Halleluiah and amen.
