Author of Brain-Powered Weight Loss, she has led the development of major evidence-based weight management programs for teens and young adults and has been featured on CNN, Dr. Phil, Dr. Oz, WebMD, Shape Magazine, the Los Angeles Times, Health, Healthline, Mental Health Weekly, Parade Magazine and others.

Eliza developed the Empowered Wellness model of sustainable weight loss and management based on insights developed during her graduate studies in behavioral psychology and collaborations with leading authorities including Dr. Robert Lustig, internationally-respected expert on sugar’s health impact, Dr. Rebecca Puhl of the University of Connecticut’s Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity, and Dr. Mark Gold, physician and the leading expert on addictions, overeating and obesity.

This model uses the latest brain science and evidence-based cognitive- behavioral principles to empower teens and young adults with practical life skills and daily habits proven to help people achieve and sustain eight and health goals, replacing the frustration of well-intentioned but ineffective “eat less, move more” advice.

Real updates from real parents.

Tanya’s update on her son “This was an amazing experience for my son and a new start for our whole family!”

Dee’s update on Emma “She is doing amazing. She just went to our doctor for a checkup and is hanging around 65 lbs of loss. Her hair, skin and aura has crazy improved!!! She is glowing and the entire family (and friends) have noticed. With your camp she finally has the skills to be in control of her body....and mind. I’m trying very hard to send her again next year and received the email on discounts for early booking. The kids really do support one another. “

An update from Alyssa’s mom “Alyssa is continuing to eat very well and is joining a cross country team! Has been truly transformative.”

Teresa’s update on her daughter “Our family highly recommends this program. Our daughter made a complete transformation, not just physically, but mentally as well. She has embraced what she learned at camp and is continuing to apply it daily. I was concerned that as soon as she left she would go back to her previous bad habits, I was wrong. We are so thrilled and she is smiling constantly for the first time in a long while.”

Kelli’s update on Sophie “I can’t tell you what it felt like to see a child who the world has beat up, torn down, and confused the heck out of her about what she is actually supposed to eat—finally be FREE. Though she did have a dramatic loss of weight, I would pay all I could afford for the SMILE she gave me when I picked her up from camp. She got to have a summer living next to the beach in a protected bubble of joy, praise, love, support, and happiness. From the moment I saw her she was radiating confidence and health.”
