    Dr. Ashley Lucas comes to the field of nutrition for weight loss and wellness with a unique background.

    Dr. Lucas spent the first 25 years of her life participating in the rigorous training of her professional classical ballet career; constantly devoted to this “passionate pursuit of perfection”. This deeply-rooted “pursuit” was, for her, continuously met with injury and a constant fight with the ballet-specific body type. As a result, she retired from her professional dancing career, understood the importance nutrition played in her own athletic performance, and started along her path to becoming an expert in the field of nutrition and wellness.

Off to a great start

Just started the program two days ago. I’ve committed 31 weeks for 91 pounds so far I’ve seen 3 pounds off but it’s not about the weight it’s more about a lifestyle change. Total professionalism from the initial contact to the Charlotte team. Can’t wait to see the transformation.

Gobbie Mom ,

Thank you!

Dr. Ashley Lucas is the real deal. The weight loss program works! I can speak from personal experience and it’s the best program that I have done. It is worth it if you are looking to change your life.

The inspiration I needed

Congratulations on all your success, and thank you so much for doing the podcast. My hope is it would come out as a daily. A little daily reminder/ inspiration can go along way in one’s effort. On a side note, let your husband know the surgery he did for me on my ankle five years ago in Durango has given me new life. Now I need your (daily?) inspiration to get my gut in check. Have a blessed life Ashley, you deserve it!
