About me: My name is Janet and after 1-3 months of working with clients, I increase revenues and/or traffic for startups and small businesses in e-commerce, health and wellness, consumer technology and enterprise software by a factor of 19-27%, which has already happened for multiple clients. Previously, I ran the marketing analytics operation for the entire U.S. Marketing department of a Fortune 500 company.

For individuals who want to optimize their focus, productivity, and health, and for those experiencing insomnia, fatigue, hair loss, lack of focus, anxiety, or low sex drive, hormone imbalance is one of the most common factors influencing cognitive performance, fertility, and general health. Some of the most powerful hormones in the body include cortisol, testosterone, estradiol (estrogen), progesterone, DHEA-S, SHBG, and FSH/LH. Janet Chang helps clients zero in on the most likely causes of their unique situation and provide guidance on the appropriate lab tests, most of which are not ordered by medical doctors or naturopaths, due to lack of financial incentives by insurance companies for major U.S. hospitals and clinics. Second, during a follow-up session, lab tests will be interpreted using the latest research findings in endocrinology. The client will be advised on the safest, most effective treatments (including lifestyle interventions, over-the-counter supplements, and prescription medications). Lastly, clients are advised on how to best acquire the treatments, either over-the-counter or with the help of a medical practitioner if necessary, in addition to advice on the lab biomarkers to use to monitor their health. Bio: After experiencing the debilitating symptoms of a hormone condition called hypopituitarism, Janet's body shut down and she was rendered bedridden and at a loss for help. She went to seek professional help, only to be told by Stanford University's best doctors, endocrinologists, and specialists that she did not in fact have any known condition, and that there was nothing that could be done. She proceeded to scour the internet for help, researching hundreds of scientific journal papers and dozens of little-known books in the medical community. Three years later, using a simple, systematic, and scientific approach, she was able to completely cure her condition and receive the appropriate treatment from medical professionals. She wrote the guidebook, Cracking Your Hormone Code (http://crackingyourhormonecode.com/) in 2015 to help others with hormone imbalances how to navigate the tricky landscape of medical practice and hormone treatment. She is an avid participant of the Health 2.0 community and has spoken to audiences at Stanford University, UCLA, Health Technology Forum, and Quantified Self about self-treatment methods available to the regular layperson.

For anyone who wants to lose weight, gain strength, complete a marathon, bicycle century, ocean swim, or triathlon, or just become more focused at work and feel less groggy....I will take all of your most ambitious (or ordinary!) performance goals and turn them into an actionable fitness and/or nutrition plan that can be accomplished by any mortal. We will take into consideration your previous fitness experiences, abilities, and unique background. You will be educated on the kind of results and performance to expect at various milestones across a specific timeline (e.g. "You will lose X% bodyfat in 3 months. You can aim for a 4-hour marathon finish time.) In addition to guidance with a custom-tailored training plan (and weekly/monthly coaching calls if necessary to maximize accountability) to reach your goals in a realistic timeline, we will track your progress using objective, measurable means (e.g. timed 1-mile run for 5K runners, body composition and measurements for tracking fat loss, or swim stroke form and running gait technique videos for triathletes). The difference between my coaching and other coaching approaches is that I will not assign you a training plan you cannot reasonably complete, given your existing routine and scheduless. I will also be mindful about your unique thought process and psychology, and be sure to call you out if I notice any self-destructive mindsets in your self-talk that would prevent you from accomplishing your goals. Mindset and good habits make up 80% of the game, in my experience coaching athletes and laypeople alike, and just having a training plan is not going to help if you can't get yourself up at 6am and going to the gym on schedule. Bio: Janet's background in nutrition and fitness started with 13 years in competitive sports, as a 140.6-mile Ironman triathlon finisher at age 18, and an Olympic hopeful for the Winter Olympic Games as a short track speedskater at age 24. After a tailbone injury took her away from competition at age 25, she has since studied and tested nutrition plans for long-term health, publishing a scientific paper and speaking at Stanford University about her research. She earned her Crossfit Lvl1 coaching certification to stay on the most recent training trends. Her clients have lost 40 lbs of fat, increased 40 lbs on their max bench press, finished their first marathons, and accomplished various other feats of physical performance. Janet's unique coaching style was recently featured in the book, "The Motivation Hacker" and "Lifehacker" Magazine.

For those who have heard about the potentially life-changing benefits of microdosing psychedelics such as LSD and psilocybin mushrooms and want to leverage its power for elevating productivity, focus, creativity, mood, or higher EQ, Janet will use her experience in systematic and quantified psychedelic experimentation to help design your own microdosing experiment. Factors to consider when creating a microdosing plan include: - Which substance will help achieve the desired effect(s)? - Which dosage(s) are best for facilitating the intended purpose? - What is the best daily/weekly schedule for starting, and is a tapering schedule necessary given the dosage? - How soon will the effects come into awareness, and how long do they last? - How do you ensure lasting effects throughout the day without overdosing? - Are there any health, medical, or legal considerations to take into account when taking these substances? Clients will receive guidance on all of the above to create a custom-tailored plan for safe consumption. Bio: Janet Chang has been experimenting with psychedelics since 2015. She has used microdoses of psychedelics to overcome a lifelong fear of public speaking, increase her daily cold calling sales quotas dramatically by 20%, stop procrastinating on MITs in GTD (Most Important Tasks), and become a more creative problem solver as a software engineer. Findings in the ability for microdosing to elevate mood, improve EQ, and increase productivity has been profiled by The New York Times, ABC News, GQ Magazine, Marie Claire, The New Scientist, Daily Mail UK, and other media outlets. Legal Disclaimer: This coaching service does not condone the use of illegal substances. This coaching is intended to provide education on safe use and harm reduction practices for those who choose to consume on their own accord.

For aspiring software engineers and non-technical startup founders, receive guidance on the most effective and efficient means to self-education, including advice on the best ways to prepare for an engineering bootcamps, programming interviews as a junior engineer, and otherwise become a software engineer, freelance developer, or build a startup prototype on a limited budget. The rise of bootcamps such as Hack Reactor, HackBright, Thinkful, Bloc.io, Codacademy, Team Treehouse, CodeSchool, and General Assemby since the founding of the first ever bootcamp in San Francisco, Dev Bootcamp, attests to the viability of software development education and the demand in the market for highly motivated and skilled software developers, with or without formal Computer Science education. Self-education resources typically range from introductory (online tutorials and beginner coding books) to intermediate resources (part-time bootcamps and online courses) to intensive experiences (full-time bootcamps). Make sense of the cacophony of resources available now, zero in on the most effective resources for your learning style and objectives, determine the sequence of technical concepts, skills, programming languages, and frameworks to master, then create a realistic plan and build sustainable study habits that make learning to code fun instead of frustrating. For students already on the learning journey, receive code reviews on programming assignments and receive an opinion from an experienced engineer. Bio: Janet Chang is a DevBootcamp graduate in one of the earliest cohorts (Fall 2012), and was one of the only students accepted with zero coding background into her cohort. She has since worked on engineering teams and projects for San Francisco based technology startups and the Fortune 500. The learning experience and job search success of her and her peers have been profiled on Women 2.0's article, "The Rising Femme Elite of Tech: How We Became Software Engineers In 10 Weeks".
