About The Skinny Shaman

Our Mission

At The Skinny Shaman, owners Chris Schlegel (a Physician Assistant) and Krystal Schlegel (a Nurse) realize that sustainable weight loss takes more than just diet and exercise. After years of personal research and thoughtful development, this same realization is what led them to take a perfect blend between Eastern and Western medicine to create a 3 pillared holistic approach to wellness that encompasses not only physical health but also the mental, emotional and spiritual well-being of each individual they serve. Using this type of approach allows for one to address things such as psychological factors, stress management, emotional eating habits and spiritual fulfillment rather than focusing solely on one's external appearance and physical health. Chris and Krystal believe that in order to achieve full body wellness, you need to come to a place of perfect balance and harmony (or "oneness") between your mind, body and spirit. Until this oneness is achieved, a person can never be completely healthy and whole.
