"Alex has truly transformed the way I think about food and health.."

“Alex Westphal’s “Total Transformation Program” has truly transformed the way I think about food and health. Alex has helped me to lose 20 pounds as well brought my cholesterol down to a manageable number! I have totally changed my shopping rituals and look more closely into the food I am eating as well as how I am eating it!

Alex has helped me look at myself in a compassionate and truly helpful way so I can make the changes that help me feel better about my body and my mind. I would say for sure that my talks with Alex have changed my health as well as my family’s in a real positive and thoughtful way!

Alex is a fun and sweet person to talk with and I would say thru this process he has become a true friend and ally! I am beyond thankful and would recommend Alex Westphals “Total Transformation Program” to anyone!”

"Alex was compassionate and kind, inspiring me to investigate my eating habits with 'curiosity, not judgment.'"

“Alex is a brilliant chef, nutritionist and coach. I am so blessed I got to work with him, particularly during a very challenging part of my life. I struggled with GERD, high blood pressure and a whole host of other health issues at the ripe old age of 31. Alex was compassionate and kind, inspiring me to investigate my eating habits with “curiosity, not judgment.”

“You’ll find that’s a common theme with Alex. And the results from our sessions together were amazing. I am not completely cured, but my GERD has vanished. I was able to stop my anti-anxiety medication that I had been taking for years. My blood pressure is several points lower. And I have a whole bunch of new recipes that Alex shared with me that I now make on the regular. I discovered foods that I thought were healthy that my body hated, and new ones that my body loves. Alex introduced me to several new cook books and chefs, as well as eating habits that make me feel great. He’s an absolute god send, a compassionate listener and very smart. I can honestly say if you want to change your life in 12 weeks, please invest in Alex. Best money I’ve ever spent. He has transformed my life and made me enjoy eating – rather than dreading it.”

Who I am

Growing up I thought everybody’s family sat down to eat dinner together every night. Mealtime was our time for chatting, teasing, telling stories—and yes, eating. Maybe that’s when I started to understand that food is about more than probiotics, vitamins, or any chemical reaction. At its best, every meal is an occasion for joy.

The joy of that nightly ritual followed me as I worked every restaurant job I could weasel my way into for twenty-five years. Front of house, back of the house, fine dining, catering, you name it—I worked my way across America, from the deep Southeast of Florida to the food haven of Portland, Oregon, as well as my travels through Spain and France.

As a chef, I established close relationships with farmers and producers. I came to know and love my kitchen families as well—as crazy as they could be. But something was missing: The further up the restaurant ladder I climbed, the farther away I got from seeing each diner as an individual, complete human. I knew it was time for a change.

My new role, as a Certified Health Coach, offers me the chance to bring you the best of both worlds.

The fact is, not all of us can afford a personal chef—much less a personal nutritionist. And even if we could afford both of those professionals, they’d probably fight with each other half the time. Similarly, I’ve found the comradery of those family dinners all-too-often missing from the Spartan (but otherwise stellar) style of our contemporary restaurant culture.
I can’t pretend that I’ll be all things to everyone, but I can promise you this: I’ve put all my heart into health coaching, and I’ll do all I can to bring you and your body to a place where mealtime is an occasion for joy and nourishment. You won’t believe how good you feel!
