Chia Leah

Chia Leah Fueling a Healthy Lifestyle I stumbled into a new mom boot camp and so began my love for group fitness and appreciation for nutrition.

If we make some simple changes in lifestyle, we can get well - I am living proof! 9 years and 40lbs ago, I was struggling with a lack of energy among other health issues. I am a certified and practicing fitness instructor through Maddogg Athletics, AFAA, Schwinn and Stages Cycling. I am also a certified health coach through Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN). I am motivating clients to rea

ch their long term health goals, one small habit change at a time. At my office in Wilmette, IL, I work with men, women, whole families, teens, lead small groups and workshops on specific topics. I also enjoy going out and speaking to corporate groups. Thanks to modern technology, I work remotely with clients in several other states. Some clients come to me with a Dr.'s order to implement a specific plan, and others come to me on their own with more general goals in mind that we work to refine and accomplish. We are all unique and my passion is to understand each client's health history and guide them with tools that will be successful for their way of life.

"Bill's Pico"

Powered by micronutrients, (vitamins & minerals), this refreshing summer snack is guaranteed to satiate and fuel! A Chia Leah family favorite, thanks to Chia Bill, master Pico chef, the secret is that's it's all freshly chopped! Tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, jalapeño, fresh squeezed lime and Himalayan pink salt.

Bill's Pico is magnificent on chips or in a quesadilla. Or, get creative and top your morning eggs with it, add it to black beans for a protein punch or mix it with plain greek yogurt for a creamy summer dip for your veggies.

Ready, Set, Cook!
Official Club Aprons are HERE! ✨

We’re so excited to introduce the official Chia Leah Cooking Club Youth Apron!

We designed these because we know that when a kid puts on their own apron, something magical happens: they stop being "helpers" and start being creators. It’s more than just a way to keep flour off their pants—it’s a boost of "I can do this!" confidence.

Why your little chef will love it:

Grow-with-me Fit: One size to fit most rising chefs!

Earth-Friendly: A super-soft, durable blend of 65% recycled polyester and 35% cotton.

Mess-Ready: We know that the best recipes usually involve a little splatter. These wash up super easily!

Registration is open for our Mother's Day Workshop on Saturday, May 9th!

🥣 Create a custom batch of superfood granola, choosing from a variety of nourishing, dairy-free add-ins.

🌱 Learn about the health benefits of each ingredient while building their blend—from brain-boosting seeds to antioxidant-rich treats.

🎁 Package their creation in a beautifully decorated jar, complete with a heartfelt handwritten note for Mom.

This recipe was created in the spring of 2022 by Mom & Daughter, Leah and Ella. Nostalgic in flavor profile, LITERALLY THEY TASTE JUST LIKE CARROT CAKE!

Keep these bites refrigerated (2 weeks) or frozen (6 weeks) since they are made with FRESH SHREDDED ORGANIC CARROTS.
Ingredients: Dates, organic gluten free rolled oats, crimson raisins, organic fresh carrots, organic coconut, organic pumpkin seeds, organic cinnamon, organic chia seeds, Himalayan pink salt, pure vanilla extract.

She was, and still is, so cute and caring!

Keep taking good care of yourself. You are worth it!
