Hi Friends!
This might be one of our all time favorite blog posts! Today, we are so excited to announce six new Brand Ambassadors that will be joining the Healthi Team! When we put a call out for anyone and everyone who loved Healthi and could represent us on social media, we were THRILLED with the influx of responses!! We ultimately chose to add six members to our original team of four, in order to best cater to YOU all!
As a company, we are so thrilled to know that people have not only seen success in their health and wellness journey, but also that they have connected with others in similar paths. Each of our ten brand ambassadors have such incredible stories. Whether it be weight-loss, confidence boosting, new found love of good food, or all of the above- these users cover a wide variety. We were so humbled to have these guys share their stories with us, so we thought it would be a fun thing for them to share their stories with you all!
Without further adieu, the Healthi Ambassadors:
New Friends
Meagan DeCoste @our_perfectly_imperfect
Meagan is our first and only Canadian ambassador!! Living in Nova Scotia with her husband, she spends her days homeschooling her two kids (Irish twins, nonetheless!). After the miracle births, within ten months of each other, Meagan struggled to lose the babies’ weight. She got serious about her health journey when the world basically shut down and knew that while all else was out of her control her health was something she could control! And here we are 7 months later and she’s feeling closer and closer to her old self. She claims to owe much of her success to Healthi and how flexible the program is. It allows her to still incorporate her favorite foods and create meals her whole family enjoys together! Meagan is over halfway to her goal weight of 168 pounds. She loves to follow and share recipes through the community page on the app!
Paul Fee @feenominal_journey
Paul entered his health and wellness journey when he realized the scale at his doctor’s office wasn’t sufficient for his weight. He set a goal of losing the ten pounds needed to use that scale, and now here we are, over 150 pounds later!! Since joining Healthi, Paul truly believes a fire has been lit mentally on his weight loss plan again. The one thing he truly loves about Healthi and our plan, is the double measure tracking. So many times he felt discouraged after eating what seemed like a proper amount, and still feeling hungry. With the double tracking method of BITES/ counting calories, his mental game in this journey is so much stronger. Tracking now is an everyday part of his life. With Healthi, he knows that he is not the only one capable of seeing success like his. Paul likes to share the journey that he’s on, on social media, in hopes of inspiring maybe just one person to give their own journey one more try!
Genien Sheikah @genie_cooks
We have been impressed with Genien’s master-craft in the kitchen for quite some time now! Genien spends her days with her daughter- blogging, vlogging, cooking and baking. She runs several different Instagram pages to best cater to her large audience! Being the kitchen wizz that she is, her favorite feature on the Healthi app is the recipe builder. Genien loves to use this feature to not only track her own food, but to share her most recent creations, as well! Originally Genien was following the Sugar Smart plan, but has now started to enjoy the journey of Keeping Keto!
Amber Miller @prettyinpoints
Long time Healthi user, and lover of fitness; we’re bringing on Mrs. Amber Miller! Amber is a busy working mom to an almost 3-year old son. When she’s not working or having fun with her family, she’s trying to squeeze in fitness. A big fan of spinning and boot camp type classes, while also adding in more weights for strength! Amber started using Healthi in 2016 when she wanted to keep following a method of tracking that had been working well for her the prior year. She even spent some time working with a registered dietician tracking calories, so she LOVES the ability to track both BITES and calories. Amber is also very loyal to the Whole30 diet. Every year she commits to at least one full round of it. Which is why she loves the recipe filter section on the recipe page!
Alexis Wise @awisetracker
If you’ve been around the Healthi community page at all, you probably already know Alexis! She previously served as a coach for the Carb Conscious community in Healthi! She describes her journey with Healthi as a roller coaster, because she didn’t start to take her weight-loss journey seriously until January of 2019. Once she discovered Carb Conscious, everything changed! She could still enjoy all of the foods that she loves, but in moderation with the support and accountability of Healthi. She loves the Restaurant Guide that we’ve published, when trying to make healthy decisions outside of her own kitchen. When she is doing the cooking, she also loves to use the recipe builder! Alexis says, “It’s all about being consistent and coming back to what works for you. Find a program you love, and it will never feel like a diet” and we couldn’t agree more!
Ashley Lindstrom @ashley_loses_it
Living a bright-colorful life in Oregon, our sixth and final new ambassador is Ashley! After feeling slightly out of control in her own body, she downloaded the Healthi app on a total whim one night. It has worked so well with her new found love of running and healthy foods- she’s never looked back! Ashley likes to focus on keeping the main thing, the main thing- health and honest tracking. She loves to connect with people on the community page, her Instagram account, and lots of Facebook groups. As she is about to hit the -100 lbs mark, Ashley sees no end in sight with her health and wellness journey as she feels the freedom and confidence that has come with taking her life back!
Our old friends!
Brianna Engebretsen @divaandthedivine
Brianna is a mid 30s woman living her best life in the Minneapolis area. She’s a wife, dog mom to her 3-year-old Yorkie, Gracie, and a You-tuber on the channel Diva and the Divine, where she talks about her lifestyle as a homemaker, living with Charcot Marie Tooth Disease (CMT), and of course, weight loss. She loves following the Carb Conscious plan on Healthi because she found success on that plan the first time around and is excited to hit the goal on the same plan as before with the Healthi community as her support. Brianna’s ultimate goal is to find the balance between living life at a healthy weight and a life free of food deprivation.
Rachel Zaleski @activerachelanne
Rachel started her weight loss journey in July of 2018, at a starting weight of 213.8 pounds.

Rachel works as a full-time Registered Nurse and part-time as a sports producer for her family business, Zaleski Sports. She finds support through her husband, Jason, and her two grown children, Marissa and Trevor.
Jordan Chops @clydesdailylife
Jordan is 29 years old and lives in NW Indiana with his lovely wife and two amazing children. He started Healthi in January of 2019 because he was tired of how he looked and felt, and wanted to be the best version of himself for his family. With a start weight of 266 lbs, he has used the Carb Conscious plan to lose weight, and enjoys helping others discover how to make this plan work for them!
Hibah Alabbadi @hibahthefoodaholic
Hibah is a 30 year old who lives in Arizona with her husband and three children. With a B.A. in Global Health and a Masters of Education, she is passionate about sharing and educating about her health journey! Hibah has a daughter who was born with a complex congenital heart defect, and strives to balance health for herself and for her family. She’s been using Healthi for a year and a half and has lost 57 pounds so far with the Sugar Smart plan. Hibah gets her healthy recipe inspiration and love of food from her parent’s restaurant, the Flaming Kebab in Mesa, Arizona.
Well, there they are friends!! We’re so excited to introduce these new ambassadors to you! Stay tuned for updates and information about new fun projects!
