Meet Jody
IFBB PRO Bodybuilder and Nutrition Expert
I am a Retired IFBB PRO Bodybuilder, when I started my bodybuilding career in 2002, I went in with both feet. Landing me at a National Level in 10 months of training. Then I went on to become pro just a few years later. Through this time I have trained with many trainers and saw and experienced what worked and what didn't. I experienced what supplements worked and what didn't. After having a few years of training under my belt I took on my own clients from lifestyle clients to contest (stage) ready clients. ​ Having positive outcome with these clients and being excited about how their progress has grown, got me more excited to find more effective ways to get the results quicker in a healthier way. ​ There are lots of ways to diet, but is it effective for "you". That's where a DNA test got me excited.  Because it will tell me what your body does and doesn't like. ​ Throughout my career I have made my own mistakes by pushing my body so hard that I eventually had to slow down and ended up with injuries and had no choice but to start being easy on my body. I ended up with a herniated back that laid me up for 4 years from being denied surgery to almost dying because of mistakes being made in the operating room as well as in the orthopaedic ward. Here I am a couple years later recovering from another injury from being rear ended in a car accident.  I always am striving to be healthier and stronger than I have been in the past few years. Rebuilding what I lost and I always looking forward to the next day. ​ I never stopped Training people and providing Nutrition training and seeing people feel better and happy always drove me to find better ways to enhance my clients health. I found a company to test hair samples and zero in on deficiencies in their body, 1000 items actually, that will tell me how to help you, from Vitamins and Minerals to Hormones and many more. Then I found a Meal Prep company that is willing to work with me and make meals for my clients exactly how I want them, and to avoid foods that cause inflammation, and meals that taste good. ​ Along with all this going on, I was able to partner with a company that tests your DNA for intolerances against any Medications you are on.  Many Medications cause adverse effects that are sometimes worse than the disease itself. This DNA test will tell you if you have the intolerance and give you suggestions as to which ones are better for you. ​ I always enjoy seeing people happy from the results that they have achieved themselves. Its a very fulfilling feeling giving people that extra day of health that they wouldn't have had without changing their daily living routines into more healthy ones.

Well life is made of milestones… some more meaningful than others. Today was definitely one of those more important milestones. I have been on a health journey for nearly the last 3 years with the direction of Jody Chalifoux and it’s the first time (to my recollection) that I’ve passed the 200 lb mark in this direction since I was probably 10 or 11 years old. Today I weighed in at 199.8 lbs. I know it’s only 0.2 lbs under but it’s under. I feel the best I’ve ever felt in my entire life. I’m wearing clothes smaller than I have since I was a teen and most importantly I feel amazing. I started this journey at 440 lbs and I can say from experience that existing at that weight/ size sucks. There isn’t any way to be comfortable and not in pain. Jody’s knowledge and experience has not only changed my life but I can absolutely say it’s saved my life.
Thank you Jody.
For anyone that may feel that they need a change in their life and their health I would 20 out of 10 recommend working with Jody

To anyone ready to change,
The following is a brief description of my experience with Jody from Balance Health & Nutrition.
About 6 months ago I found myself in quite a poor condition. Very overweight and in a considerable amount of pain. I am 47.
A close friend of mine had suggested the services of a dietician and had said that he knew of a good one with a great success rate, he put me in touch with Jody and the journey began.
At the time when I first met Jody, I was in need of help in multiple areas from diet, nutrient levels, motivation and a stubborn attitude that needed some work.
Within the first 2 weeks I was starting to notice a significant difference in my mental clarity and my body. As my energy levels were increasing, my pain was going away and I could start to feel my life changing for the better.
Jody had worked very closely with me by staying in constant contact and updating things as required. Her ability to keep me motivated and to work with me when I struggled is un-paralleled in my experience and still continues to this day.
I’m nearly at the 6 month mark and am 100% pain free, my body and mind are working better than they have in years and my bloodwork couldn’t get any better.
Jody was able to motivate me into this incredible change and there is no way I could have done it without her.
So if you’re ready to make a change, and you’re ready to listen, give this legend a call and see what she can do for you.
Jody, thank you so much for all your hard work, it’s greatly appreciated.
Regards,

My whole life I’ve struggled with weight control. I tried mega diet plans and exercised vigorously to try and keep the weight off, but after loosing the weight it would always came back. I was talking to a friend of mine who said he was working with a girl named Jody and she provided him with an intolerance test that was able to pinpoint the foods and liquids he should be eating and which ones he should stay away from based on his DNA and Jody was able to set him up on a plan based on the test and his goal weight he wanted to achieve. He told me he was eating more than he ever had and was loosing weight doing it. I found this very interesting and decided to consult with Jody to see if she could help me. First thing Jody asked was what did I want to achieve and I told her it was to get to my goal weight and maintain it without always having to diet and exercise and she said she could help me.
First thing was to get a hair sample and send it away for the intolerance test. Once the results came back Jody then was able to put together my plan based on that and my weight at the time and my goal weight I wanted to achieve and maintain. We met again and went over it and got started immediately. I found the program was easy to follow and the results were fantastic. Because of the program and eating the proper amounts of food and drink on a regular bases as well as taking the vitamins my body was lacking I was able to loose the proper fat cells and get my weight down without so much worry of it coming back, even if I strayed a bit here and there from the program. My energy levels increased almost immediately which made my exercise program a lot more enjoyable.
Working with Jody helped me understand the proper way to loose weight and maintain it without starving myself and exercising to the point that I had no energy left and didn’t like it. She also showed me the importance of eating the proper foods based on my requirements. I feel I can now control my weight thanks to her and I highly recommend her to anyone who struggles with the issues I did. Thank you, Jody.

I have always thought that I had a unique series of life event that led to my current health concerns and that these concerns were things that I would just have to live with. After a rather debilitating cancer treatment and more than 10 operations, I though "okay, this is as good as it gets". I talked with specialists but nobody could help my gastrointestinal issues, joint pain, or get me back to my previous level athletic ability. I hadn't given up, but I was defeated...until Jody at Balance Health & Nutrition.
​
Jody at Balance was able to get my gut back to where I could eat and not have painful bloat and urgency after every meal. I no longer felt considerable joint pain when I was at the gym, and I been better than any time in my life...which, being in my 40's seems crazy to me.
​
I would recommend Jody at Balance Health & Nutrition to anybody looking to increase their health and/or athletic ability.
