SZN Weekly #1: What 7 new clients taught me this week
|
Welcome to the first edition of SZN Weekly Newsletter- where I’ll share things I’m learning from coaching, nutrition, strength training, and my own health journey. ✨ This Week’s Coaching Insight This week, I kicked off coaching with 7 new women. A few things we worked through this week: • One client was learning how to use the lat pulldown machine for the first time. One of the biggest advantages of online coaching is that clients can train on their own schedule and still receive personalized form feedback through video review. • Modifying lunges and finding progressions that feel less intimidating to strengthen lower body • Talking through stress and sharing yoga philosophy with a client navigating immigration uncertainty • Helping clients understand why the scale often drops quickly in week one (typically due to reduced water retention, inflammation, and improved consistency) 🏆 Wins This Week One thing that made me smile: Over 90% of my current clients saw the scale move down in their first week of coaching. Some challenge participants who turned into clients are already down 6–11 lbs from where they started (progress over the last couple months). Now, before anyone gets too excited, that doesn’t necessarily mean they lost 6–11 lbs of body fat. Early movement on the scale is often a combination of:
The goal isn’t a dramatic first week. The goal is building habits that still work 6 months from now and keep results long term. One thing that stood out after onboarding 7 women is that none of them needed a more complicated plan. They needed help applying simple principles consistently to their real life. More protein (based on meals they actually eat). More movement (that fits into their busy work days). More strength training (workouts at home if they can't make it to the gym). Better recovery. Less all-or-nothing thinking. 🍴 Protein Corner Two easy high-protein meals I'm excited to try this week: 15 min cottage cheese chili toast 🚶 SZN Reminder If your health goals feel overwhelming right now, don’t focus on everything. Pick one: Small actions repeated consistently beat perfect plans every time. One thing I’ve noticed over and over: One thing I’ve learned from coaching these women is that everyone gets stuck on something different. For some it’s protein, for others it’s consistency, gym confidence, or navigating weekends. If you’re currently feeling stuck with your own health goals, hit reply and let me know what’s been the biggest challenge. I read every response. :) Have a great week ahead! -Sanjana SZN Health Coaching PS. If you’ve been struggling to lose body fat, build strength, or stay consistent despite knowing what to do, personalized support can make all the difference. |

Most women think fat loss comes down to eating "better." But what if the problem isn't effort... What if it's simply that no one has ever shown you what's actually happening on your plate? Imagine sending your food log to someone every week. Not getting judged. Not getting a generic meal plan. But having someone go meal by meal and explain: • Why you felt hungry at 3 PM. • Why dinner keeps pushing you over calories. • Why you're eating enough protein but still aren't staying full. • Why your...
This week, a physician in her 50s joined SZN after finding me on Instagram. She had recently received bloodwork results that scared her. During our conversation, we spent surprisingly little time talking about weight loss. Instead, we talked about menopause. Cholesterol. Mobility. Aging. How quickly strength, muscle, and endurance can decline if we don’t actively work to maintain them. At one point she said something that completely caught me off guard: “You’ve chosen a mission to help Indian...
One thing I love about summer? I naturally crave lighter, fresher foods. This week, one of my go-to dinners has been fresh spring rolls packed with colorful veggies, herbs, and protein. A lot of traditional wellness systems, including Ayurveda, talk about choosing foods with a cooling effect during hotter months. Whether or not you’re into Ayurveda, I’ve noticed I naturally want crisp vegetables, fresh herbs, and lighter meals when the weather warms up. My current fresh roll combination: 🥕...
