About the Keychain Diet

Hi, I’m Robyn. This is my story.

 

I am the owner and provider at Crafted Sustainable Wellness and creator of The Keychain Diet. I started in the medical field when I was 14, helping my parents run their growing family practice clinic. My dad is a physician and my great-grandmother, grandmother and mother are all nurses, so I can say it runs in the blood. In their clinic, I helped wherever I could, from helping patients to filing to answering phones, I pretty much filled every hole until I graduated high school. 

 

In college I decided I wanted to be a Family Nurse Practitioner, so I followed all of the steps. I graduated from Covenant School of Nursing in 2008 with my RN license and continued my education immediately after becoming licensed as a nurse. For graduate school, I attended West Texas A&M University in Canyon, Texas. I had a great education. Not only was the program excellent, but my father took a lot of my education on himself. I learned to be a Nurse Practitioner both the traditional way and by apprenticeship (let me tell you, my dad was MUCH tougher!)

 

During FNP school, I worked as a registered nurse in the cardiac ICU, Family Practice and Home Health. I loved all of them and learned so much. After graduating in 2013, I worked as a Family Nurse Practitioner for my family's clinic. For the first few years, I did a mix of traditional family practice and geriatrics. In 2015, I took over BodyScapes Med Spa in Lubbock, TX. I spent half of my time in family medicine and half of my time in Aesthetics (Botox, Filler, Lasers...the fun stuff!). I shut down the spa in 2017 when we had a huge water leak and I was getting divorced at the same time. It just wasn't the season in my life for that. About a year after my divorce, I moved myself and my three young children to Boerne, Texas. I really lucked out, though. A lot of my Botox and Filler clients were very loyal and I was able to keep my skills up by doing their treatments on the weekends whenever my ex-husband had our children.

 

In 2018, while new to Boerne, I worked for WoundCentrics in multiple hospitals and home settings to provide care to patients who were transitioning home from the hospital or who were still in the hospital needing wound care. In 2020, my previous clinic asked me to come back remotely and I was able to lead a team of amazing nurses and providers in our Chronic Care Management Program. CCM allows healthcare providers to greatly increase the amount of care they are able to give to patients, it was a very fulfilling job and administration taught me a ton!

 

In 2022 I decided to leave my job and open up my own clinic. I feel like I was well trained for this job, since I really had held every position in a health care clinic. I immediately knew what kind of clinic I wanted to have, because of my own personal weight struggles.

 

My entire life I have been overweight. Really overweight. My heaviest was around 2015 when I weighed in at 272 at 5'3.

 

In 2019, I started taking Ozempic, the branded version of semaglutide. I wasn't really consistent about taking it but I saw how well it worked for me and how much better I felt on it. I started taking it religiously in 2022 a few months before I opened this clinic. Trust me, it was HARD to start a weight clinic and help others lose weight when I myself was so heavy. However, I trucked on through that and I currently weigh about 148. That's 124 pounds lost! When I started this clinic, I did what I always do when it comes to medicine, I hit the books. I read many scientific papers and studies on weight loss. I didn't want to focus all my research on weight loss since the semaglutide was so great, so I focused on the difference between patients who lost weight and kept it off vs. patients who lost weight and didn't keep it off. I also spent some time with my weight loss mentor, Misty, who has her own weight loss clinics in Granbury and Fort Worth. In 2022, once I felt like I had eaten up the new information in the medical community I opened up Crafted Sustainable Wellness. I wanted to provide services that actually made people feel better about themselves and kept them at their best health so I also offered my aesthetic services.

 

Now, I am able to help even more people create sustainable, lasting, pressure-free results with the Keychain Diet. Nothing is more satisfying to me than seeing my clients regain their lives, health, and self-confidence.
