We had the good fortune of connecting with Sandra NDANGHA and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Sandra, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?

When I had my son and could not workout because of spinal anesthesia complications and was not cleared by my doctor to do any form of exercise. It made  me sad and withdrawn. I felt like I lost myself and my self confidence along with it. This  was evident in the way I communicated with my partner and even  affected parenting my two beautiful kids.
After trying out several  weight loss programs and nutrition plans that were obviously not a good fit for because they relied heavily on exercising to expend energy to lose weight,  I decided to  study and get Nutrition and weight loss certifications  to really understand the science behind sustainable weight loss. I  vividly remember how I felt shortly after I got my Nutrition coach and weight specialist certifications and started working on myself. When I dropped two dress sizes down, I wanted to socialize more, I felt alive, confident, vibrant and wanted to do and achieve more for myself.

I literally had to explain to people I just had a baby 3 months ago and I’ll light up as I explain and even ditch out some tips. A few women tried my tips and asked me to help them with their weight loss journey. Their testimonials were mind blowing and that’s when I knew I wanted to build a whole empire around this and put smiles on as many people’s faces as I can and restore confidence with sustainable meal plans and lifestyle chances.

And now Gritslim is known as the nutrition program that makes people look, feel their best and transition to good health without extreme diets and rigorous exercising.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?

Gritslim is a black owned Nutrition and wellness company based in San-Diego Califonia.

The company has been excelling in the Nutrition programs with personalized meal plans that work towards losing weight , keeping it off, improving health and attaining optimal fitness.

Gritslim also provides comprehensive health and wellness support by offering detox teas derived from natural herbs that works on cleansing and detoxifying the system(and our products can now be found on Walmart marketplace)

What we are most proud of, are the number of lives we have transformed with our nutrition program by just simplifying healthy living.

How we got here is pure Grace and unwavering support from all our Gritslimmers. They leave heartwarming reviews, share our posts, and refer friends and family. Our business has massively grown due to  word of mouth and referrals.

I’d like to say it was easy but it wasn’t. We had to work day and night. Go door to door during the early days of the business to explain to anyone who bought our detox tea what the nutrition program was about. Coming from a purely legal background, it took time for people to marry the lawyer and the nutritionist combination.

The lesson I learned along the way is that, taking massive action even when you don’t have the full knowledge of what you want to do will get you to correct your mistakes sooner and get on the right track.

What I want the world to know is that eating and living healthy doesn’t have to feel like a chore. You can eat tasty yet healthy food, socialize and eat out and be healthy just by adjusting a few lifestyle and eating habits .

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?

Hopefully the friend visiting has kids. We’ll go to Seaworld San Diego and Legoland in the late hours of the morning on the 1st 2 days.

Later in the evening before it gets dark we’ll go on a helicopter ride and see San-Diego from the sky and watch the sunset.

For dinner when it’s time for adults, we’ll go on a cruise ship in downtown san-Diego and enjoy some live music and get a great dinner.

Next day, we’ll spend it at the Coronado beach in white sand and just enjoy the serenity of the place.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?

My partner has been very supportive and has helped nurse this business from the ground up. Reading books like “Eat the Frog”, “The compound effect” “awaken the Giant within” have really been instrumental to my growth and the growth of the business.

However, what keeps me wanting to innovate and do better are “Gritslimmers” (clients of Gritslim Nutrition). They are sincere with their feedback, they share our posts, refer to their friends and family and encourage me daily. This is something I am eternally grateful for.
