Meet Leigh Pozas
Fitness Instructor & Wellness Coach
Leigh Pozas, FDN-P, PN, AANC, AADP, Board Certified Wellness coach is also the owner/operator of FitZone Bakersfield (Formerly known as Total Woman Fitness) and Pound of Prevention Wellness. She has been an active instructor, trainer, and nutritional coach for 30 years. Certified in fitness, coaching and lifestyle by ACE, AFAA, and ACSM and many others she has made fitness her life’s work.
Realizing that fitness is only part of a healthy lifestyle and the importance that nutrition plays, she became a Certified Nutrition Consultant in 2007 with American Association of Nutrition Consultants (AANC) and has gone on to include Functional Diagnostic Nutrition (FDN), Precision Nutrition (PN), and Food Matters Nutrition Coach in her Practice. She is a frequent public speaker about anything from health and fitness, whole foods nutrition, stress management to business topics. After serving on the Board and speaking at the Bakersfield Women’s Business Conference for 9 years, in 2015 she chaired the event and was the opening speaker.
Taking fitness and nutrition to the next level as a FDN Practitioner has been the culmination of a career in fitness and health. She is able to perform diagnostic labs in order to uncover clues to the dysfunctions of the body and use those clues as a true Health Detective to unlock the mystery to what is preventing optimum health. Health is more than fitness, and nutrition is more than diet. Leigh works with clients from the “roots” up and treats the body as a whole, not just a sum of its parts.
She is very active in the community and is proud to serve on the Board of Directors for JJ’s Legacy and The Bakersfield Women’s Business Conference.
Why Functional Diagnostic Nutrition?
It can help with
Digestion
When your digestive system is off, your health can suffer in all sorts of ways. In addition to digestive disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), bloating, constipation, diarrhea, heartburn, or gas, you may also experience food allergies, weight gain, eczema, exhaustion, asthma, and more.
Fatigue
When your digestive system is off, your health can suffer in all sorts of ways. In addition to digestive disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), bloating, constipation, diarrhea, heartburn, or gas, you may also experience food allergies, weight gain, eczema, exhaustion, asthma, and more.
Detoxification
Holistic detoxification is a comprehensive multi-organ, total-body cleansing. It includes reducing toxin intake, enhancing toxin elimination, and using specific detoxification herbs and other supportive nutrients to strengthen and promote optimum function of the organs.
At Pound of Prevention we take a more holistic approach to improving health care by recommending development goals specifically for women and adolescents—two population groups who face the biggest barriers to care and whose health is critical for overall development. Such an approach would allow for focus on the particular health challenges faced by women and young people, the contextual factors that can jeopardize their health and erect barriers to care, and the specific interventions needed for both prevention and treatment of health conditions.
Women's Health
If you're trying to lose weight, you don't necessarily need a pill, an expensive treatment or risky surgery to slim down faster. There are natural ways to speed up the weight loss process. Many of these holistic weight loss techniques are free and easy to incorporate into your daily routine. Use one or more of these natural weight loss methods to relax, get more active, eat a healthier diet, and sleep better at night so that you slim down faster and lose weight with less stress.
Weight Loss
Stress
The stress response can be an asset for raising levels of performance during critical events such as a sports activity, an important meeting, or in situations of actual danger or crisis. However, if stress becomes persistent, all parts of the body's stress management system (the brain, heart, lungs, vessels, adrenals and muscles) become chronically over-activated. Over time, this produces physical and/or psychological damage.
