What is iBeamforLife?
iBeamforLife℠ is a proprietary food education and personal coaching program focused on empowering you to improve your overall health and well-being. We offer a comprehensive program of nutrition counseling, behavior modification, and individual support designed to teach you how to make small and gradual changes in your food choices and help you achieve your personal health and wellness goals. What you learn here you will use every day.
The iBeamforLife Program℠ is not a diet, nor do we sell pre-packaged foods or require that you to take a pill. No quick-fixes or silver bullets here. We provide a fresh approach to making and maintaining positive life changes starting with what and how you eat. We are passionate about helping you take charge of your food and your good health.
Is iBeamforLife right for me?
Have you been thinking about becoming more healthy and vital? Finally tired of feeling out of control or on a physical and emotional roller coaster? Do you want to understand how to get better nutritional value from the variety of foods you eat? If you are motivated to make a change, whether it’s for a deeper food education, addressing a weight loss or weight gain concern, needing support with, or preventing the onset of, a medical condition or simply to increase your overall energy level, balance and health profile, you’ve come to the right place.
With iBeamforLife℠ you begin a journey, one that will help you eat well. For life. It is about letting go of the past and looking to the future to realize a better you. It all starts with food. If you are ready to enter into this journey with some patience, an open mind, and to apply yourself to what you are doing on our program, we are confident you will gradually find—in mind and body—your own unique balance. Let’s get started.
How does iBeamforLife work?
Our unique program blends the power of personal choice with getting the most out of food for better overall balanced health. We offer a practical approach and an inspiring experience, combining the most important elements needed for long term success:
- A trained food coach who actively listens and guides you in weekly, 1-hour individual phone sessions and who offers advice tailored to your needs and lifestyle;
- Our proprietary iBeamforLife℠ curriculum and materials with new modules provided in pdf format via email each week of the 10-week program;
- Plus, dynamic and engaging support in our private online community, iBeam Central, which is available to you 24/7 and includes ideas and inspiration to keep you moving toward your goals.
What is the iBeamforLife curriculum?
iBeamforLife℠ has created 10 proprietary guidebooks, which we provide to you each week in a pdf format via email, along with our Food for Thought “homework” materials, to help move you through your journey. The weekly curriculum represents the best thinking in food education and information and is fun, easy and informative to read. Our curriculum is based on evidence-based recommendations, meaning that the most current scientific literature about food and nutrition has been taken into consideration and incorporated.
How do I get started?
We’re excited that we can help you take this important step toward life-long health and well-being. Getting started is easy. Simply contact us via phone 1.888.649.0605 or email us at info@iBeamforLife.com and we’ll help you begin. We’ll need a valid phone number and email address.
Once you contact us, here’s what you can expect: a Welcome email letter with a link to our participation agreement, explaining our commitment to you and how you can benefit the most from the iBeamforLife Program℠. Also included is a link to PayPal. You may pay securely by credit card or by using your Paypal account, if you have one. Once we receive your payment, you’ll be ready to get started. We begin by matching you with just the right coach and let you establish the best day and time for you to begin your 10-week program.
What do I need to get started?
Besides an open mind? Simply, regular access to the Internet, an email account, Adobe Reader, and a quiet place to have an engaging and informative 1-hour phone call each week.
What are the coaches' qualifications?
Our team of Food Coaches have been recruited directly from Nutritional Science programs at universities accredited by the American Dietetic Association. Coaches are trained and managed by Melanie Beach, M.S., R.D., L.D.N., responsible for supervising the health and wellness staff. Each coach is required to become a client and successfully complete the 10-week iBeamforLife Program℠ prior to advising clients. Coaches stay current through course work at the graduate level and beyond. It is standard practice at iBeamforLife℠ to look for individuals who reflect our compassionate and caring philosophy and embrace our methodology for helping clients through gradual change. We operate with the highest professional standards and incorporate best practices in food coaching.
What does the iBeamforLife Program cost?
Being a customer-focused company means your opinion and insights truly matter to us. For a limited time, we are offering a special introductory price of $399. It is a one-time discount to say 'thank you' for helping us better understand how to serve your needs during the launch of our pilot program. We ask you to complete several short surveys and agree to be interviewed over the phone. If you prefer to wait, our standard price for the iBeamforLife Program℠ is $799.
What are the risks, if any, to participating in this program?
We’ve created this service with NO RISK TO YOU, simply the rewards of self-care and empowerment for life-long change. If you are not completely satisfied, we offer a MONEY-BACK GUARANTEE for the unused portion of your personal coaching sessions up to 5 weeks. The program was designed for gradual change. We believe you will begin to feel the benefit of the program near and beyond the mid-point of our prescribed 10-weeks.
And, while the best results come from being consistent week to week, we understand life is unpredictable. Should you need to cancel one week due to illness or for out of town travel, you will not lose that session. You’ll pick up the next week where you left off. We are deeply committed to your success.
What if I have a chronic health condition or a medical problem?
iBeamforLife℠ guides you toward better, balanced health by helping you make better food choices. We are not a replacement for your doctor. We advise anyone joining the iBeamforLife Program℠ to inform their physician that s/he is working with us to learn and practice making new and better food choices with the goal of becoming more vital and healthy. When you begin our program, a registered dietician will ask you to share any health issues you’re facing (including any specifics from your doctor). You and your Food Coach will work together to select foods that are healthful, while minimizing or avoiding those that are harmful.
How is my personal information used?
We take protecting your privacy and your personal information very seriously. At iBeamforLife℠ we adhere to a strict privacy policy and understand that any information you provide to us is considered an act of trust and is privileged and confidential. We will never share, rent or sell your personal information for any commercial purpose to outside third parties without your explicit consent. In some instances, you may want us to discuss your journey with an outside party such as personal trainer or family member. We will not share your information with anyone without your expressed written consent. In order to provide you with the highest quality customer experience, there will be circumstances within our company to share selective information for training or quality assurance purposes.

When I go to download the pdf iBeamforLife sent, it asks: "Would you like to import your trusted identities from a previous version of Acrobat? If you answer "No" a default set of trusted identities will be created. Please answer "Yes" to this question and the Acrobat document should open successfully.
