Meet Coach Lorraine / Sergeant Cuff
Hello and welcome! I'm Coach Lorraine, an Air Force veteran with 30 years of service, turned Primal Master Health Coach and educator, dedicated to empowering veterans to take charge of their health. With a unique blend of firsthand military experience and in-depth health coaching expertise, I understand the challenges that come with transitioning from military to civilian life, especially when it comes to managing health and wellness.
My Journey
As an Air Force veteran, I've lived through the intense realities of military service. The sensory overload, the emotional toll of caring for the sick and wounded, and the strain of being away from family have all shaped my understanding of the unique health challenges veterans face. These experiences have also fueled my passion for helping others navigate their post-service lives with vitality and strength.
During my time in the military, I believed could eat whatever I wanted—bagels for breakfast, sandwiches for lunch, and hearty dinners with room for snacks and dessert. The younger version of me could easily burn off the excess food for fuel. But after having my children, moving up in rank, and transitioning to a more sedentary lifestyle, the struggle with weight and joint pain became real. Like many, I tried every fad diet and workout program, but nothing seemed to stick.
It wasn’t until I started identifying my own unique health requirements by experimenting with intermittent fasting, water fasting, and low-carb diets like Atkins that I felt a true sense of control over my metabolic health. This journey led me to the realization that diets alone were not enough; I needed a sustainable lifestyle change.
Discovering the Primal Path
Through extensive research and a commitment to evidence-based practices, I discovered the transformative power of the Primal lifestyle. Eliminating gluten and adopting a low-carb diet helped me see steady progress not just in inches, but also in my overall well-being. Balancing my gut microbiome and embracing the Keto and Carnivore communities were game-changers, leading to significant improvements in my energy levels and reducing my joint pain.
My Mission
Today, as a Primal Health Coach, my mission is to guide fellow veterans toward optimal health by addressing visceral and subcutaneous fat, improving metabolic health, and enhancing overall wellness. I offer a holistic, adaptable approach that combines mind-body health plans tailored to each individual's needs.
Unique Value Proposition
What sets me apart is my unique blend of military experience and health coaching expertise. I understand the specific challenges veterans face and offer practical, effective solutions grounded in the Primal Blueprint principles. My approach is not just focused on weight loss; it's about achieving lasting health, vitality, and a higher quality of life.
Public Speaking and Community Engagement
In addition to one-on-one coaching, I am passionate about educating and inspiring larger audiences. I am available for public speaking engagements, events, and employee health education, where I share insights on how to transform health and wellness through Primal living. My talks are designed to motivate and equip individuals with the tools they need to take charge of their health and continue to thrive.
