Meet Rhonda Hardey RN, BSN

Today we’d like to introduce you to Rhonda Hardey.

Rhonda, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today. 
I started my journey several years ago after suffering from severe depression! That was by far the most difficult time of my life. I went to the doctor and told him that I was really depressed. All the doctor wanted to do was prescribe antidepressant medication which I did NOT want to take. I felt like that was a band-aid for my depression. This is when I went on a journey to naturally heal myself. I started studying nutrition and combined that knowledge with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree (BSN). Then I passed NCLEX-RN and became a Registered Nurse! 

I healed my depression, lost weight, and became healthy and more fit! Then I used my combined knowledge to create my online weight loss program. When I first started, I was mainly helping doctors and nurses lose weight. Then I started sharing client results on my Facebook page which allowed me to start helping people all over the US and Canada. 

Looking back I am so grateful that this happened. My breakdown turned into me healing my depression, helping others AND creating the life of freedom that I always dreamt about. I am now 45 and I feel better than I did when I was 25 years old! I am blessed to help people all over the world lose weight, increase energy, tone & tighten their body, get off of medications, prevent & reverse diseases, and so much more through my online weight loss program.

Has it been a smooth road? 
It definitely has NOT been a smooth road! Prior to studying nutrition and nursing, I earned a Bachelor’s in Management and Leadership and I was the Branch Manager of a Home Health Care company. This knowledge and experience has helped a little bit with building my business, but being an entrepreneur with an online business is a whole different ball game. It requires marketing knowledge which I did not have. Plus it requires strict discipline, consistency, and a whole lot of faith! 

Despite all of the challenges, I would not change a thing! Starting my own business has been beyond rewarding! I am blessed to help people in a way that I am so very passionate about! I am my own boss and do what I love! I have the freedom to work when I want and wherever I want. This is something I dreamt and wrote in my journal about many years ago! 

We’d love to hear more about your business. 
I created a 6 week online weight loss program that has helped people all over the US and Canada. What sets my program apart is the fact that I earned a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree (BSN) and I am a Registered Nurse. This knowledge has allowed me to help several of my clients lower their blood pressure, lower their cholesterol, manage their depression and anxiety, manage their diabetes, eliminate their GERD/Acid Reflux/Heartburn, eliminate their pain, eliminate digestive issues, sleep through the night without waking, and ultimately go back to the doctor and get off of their prescription medication! My online weight loss program empowers my clients to transform their whole life through simple, effective, exercise and nutrition strategies.

My program is customized and “hands on” which is why my clients are so successful! My program is a healthy lifestyle that you can follow for the rest of your life, NOT a diet. My program includes 100% real, unprocessed, nutrient dense food! No shakes or protein bars. We do NOT count calories or macros in my program! It’s not necessary when you eat REAL unprocessed food. I believe that counting calories and macros is too much work and impossible to maintain for a lifetime. 

My program is easy to follow and includes accountability, support, a customized nutrition plan, an effective home or gym workout plan, weekly follow-up questions, weekly recommendations with possible changes, and access to a private Facebook community support group! My program is truly all about losing weight, toning and tightening your body, preventing/reversing diseases, and creating a healthy lifestyle! 

My program focuses on mindset and creating healthy habits! You must create new habits and change your thinking to lose weight and keep it off. Most programs don’t do this which is why people gain the weight back. My program helps clients gain the confidence they truly deserve so they can achieve their health and weight loss goals! 

I am so proud of all of my clients that have achieved their weight loss goals and maintained their weight! I am also proud of the fact that so many clients have been able to go back to their doctor and get off of prescription medications during and right after completing my online weight loss program.

Is our city a good place to do what you do? 
San Diego is a great place for businesses like mine! There are so many like-minded, successful entrepreneurs running businesses here. There are several entrepreneur meetups and events that allow us to meet and support each other.
