She is not an advocate for counting calories or endless dieting. “I want my clients to feel empowered and in control of their bodies, food choices, and overall health," Devyn says.

It's just real food for 14 days and the results from former clients include weight loss, reduced joint pain (formerly chronic), improved energy, and cleared skin.
“In just 14 days, you will notice your sugar and carbohydrate cravings subside, and you will learn how much better you function when relying on whole, unprocessed foods for nourishment,” Devyn says.
