Meet Our Founder: Judith Garner
Judith Garner has always had a passion for serving others and she has helped thousands of people through some of the greatest milestone moments in their lives. This is reflected in a variety of the work she has done throughout her career spanning from her teen-years until today: from helping people select their fashionable wardrobe as a stylist; planning a dream wedding as a coordinator; booking the vacation of a lifetime as a travel planner (in her teens and twenties); purchasing a first-time home and investments as a real estate broker; to losing excess weight and regaining their health and fitness as a health coach (in her thirties, forties and fifties!). She's experienced life's ups and downs and has learned how to grow through these life-stages managing her own mind and body's relationship. She loves assisting people through teaching and mentoring, representing their interests for better wellness and a joyful life--with a personal motto of treat others like she would like to be treated, with sincere caring and professionalism.
Judith grew up in Montana and graduated from college in Texas. Her multi-faceted career in the fashion apparel industry started in the Dallas Apparel Mart at World Trade Center and projecting forward--15 years later, her love of real estate developed when family matters brought her to Arizona. Settling in Chandler Arizona, after purchasing her first property in the Valley of the Sun, she obtained her real estate sales and broker's licenses. Partnering with her sister, they launched Garner Realty Group, a brokerage firm specializing in residential and land sales. During her 17 plus years in real estate, long hectic hours; eating on the run; eating too much processed foods; not exercising properly, all started impacting Judith's personal health. "I loved my work and focused on it so intently that I didn't pay attention to how unhealthy some of my habits had become. The path I was on finally became apparent to me when I frequently did not feel well and lacked energy. I was beginning to gain weight and didn't get enough sleep. When I did attempt to exercise, I felt kind of flabby and weak for the first time in my life. My body was changing, feeling tired and stressed. I was approaching my early forties then and knew it was time to take action to reverse these patterns and get healthier," says Judith.
She now looks back with great pride at the permanent lifestyle changes she made: kicking a 20-year cigarette smoking habit; releasing 20 lbs. of toxic fat buildup; reflecting on the dietary changes to eliminate processed foods and eat plant based as she does today. With more vitality and energy, Judith remains completely pharmaceutical-free. She does not take a single medication nor any supplements. Loving the outdoors, she walks, hikes, or bikes daily and enjoys working out with a personal fitness trainer--all part of her personal healthy lifestyle choices. "I finally woke-up realizing that I needed to take action to make these corrections because I didn't want a future of declining health and sickness. I simply chose to get healthy, learned strategies to do so, took action to change habits, and plan to stay this way because it feels great! I'm frequently asked about what I do to stay healthy by others and I've always loved sharing the information and knowledge I now possess--some of which has taken me years to learn," says Judith.
About Judith Garner, Health Coach Judith Garner changed her career focus after a family health scare in 2013 propelled her into a health coaching career with Take Shape For Life®--a physician led national health coaching network. “After my mother underwent an emergency heart-bypass operation, my life’s passion evolved and changed," she said. "I no longer wake up each morning thinking about helping people buy and sell real estate. Nowadays, I wake up each morning thinking about how I can help others realize their optimal health and wellness potential." ~Healthy Cells Magazine Dec./Jan.2014 In Judith's own words... I really supported my mother's efforts to turn her heart health around after this major operation that she fortunately survived! The first thing my mother needed to do was to get her cholesterol level under control. Her heart specialist and primary care doctors both advised she needed to lose some weight to do so, but did not offer any nutritional advice or suggest any particular programs or plans--she was just on her own with it! When my mother told me this, I was dismayed and suggested that I'd help her find a good plan. I got online and started researching for her. We found an overwhelming amount of options and had to really consider carefully the pros and cons of each one. Ultimately, a program called Take Shape For Life® stood out, because it was more than just a weight loss plan, it also offered education and support to make permanent lifestyle changes. When I saw there was a health coaching opportunity with Take Shape For Life®, my passion was to learn more about it and get involved to help my mother--I wanted to be her health coach! So that's exactly what I did . I left real estate, joined Take Shape For Life®, became educated as a health coach, and started a new career to first help my mother and then other people too. Today we're paying it forward by sharing what she and I experienced and have learned during all of this," says Judith. (Note: In 2017, Medifast, Inc., a leading provider of clinically studied healthy living products and programs, announced its Take Shape For Life® business has rebranded to OPTAVIA™)

I knew immediately I wanted to learn all I can from Dee McCaffrey and I planned to go meet her one evening while she was making a public presentation locally", says Judith. Over the next few years, Judith became a volunteer with Processed-Free America™ (PFA), a non-profit organization co-founded by Dee McCaffrey and her husband Michael. PFA is committed to providing education, support services, and an environment that supports living without processed foods; thereby helping to eliminate adult and childhood obesity. It's mission is to offer a sustainable, healthy lifestyle based on accurate scientific data where people of all ages can discover the personal power to improve health, lose weight and keep it off. Judith states "One of the most rewarding volunteer opportunities I've had with PFA, has been assisting with their Healthy Kids Nutrition Classes--which are hands-on fun with food and the kids learn how to eat more healthfully!"
Today, Judith Garner is an independent Certified Processed-Free Facilitator. Learning directly from Dee McCaffrey, who also teaches the nutrition courses at the Southwest Institute of Healing Arts. With her PFA certification, Judith is able to teach Dee's specific PFA courses on the health effects of processed foods and the healing properties of whole foods.

I learned innovative coaching methods, practical lifestyle management techniques and over 100 dietary theories- Ayurveda, gluten-free, Paleo, raw, vegan, macrobiotics, and everything in between. My education has equipped me with extensive, cutting-edge knowledge in holistic nutrition, health coaching, and prevention.
I work with my clients to help make lifestyle changes and choose health-promoting ways that produce real and lasting results. We talk about things beyond food, seeking to bring balance to important elements of life such as love and relationships as well as career and money. I love to educate about a particular unique nutrition theory developed by Joshusa Rosenthal, founder and director of the Institute for Integrative Nutrition called "Primary Food". These are key areas of lifestyle nutrition that go beyond the the food we eat. I will personally and carefully guide my clients to make simple, small changes that transform their lives.
