Lindy Bulsterbaum is a passionate educator, dedicated wife, loving mother, and a fierce advocate for health and wellness. As the wife of an SAFD firefighter and the mom of two incredible children—Britney (24) and Logan (16)—she knows firsthand the challenges of balancing family, career, and personal health. A an educator, Lindy has a deep love for learning and guiding others, whether in the classroom or in their health journeys. She also comes from a big, lively family as the oldest of seven siblings, which has shaped her nurturing and resilient spirit.

For most of her life, Lindy struggled with weight and health issues. Despite caring about her well-being, she gained weight easily and battled irregular periods, allergies, chronic fatigue, inflammation, and even pre-diabetes. She felt like she had tried everything but hadn’t quite cracked the code to lasting health.

In 2008, her world shifted dramatically—she was pregnant with her son, grieving the loss of her motherto cancer, and navigating the intense demands of her first years as a teacher. The stress took a toll, leaving her at 260+ lbs, exhausted, and miserable. She leaned heavily on her husband but knew deep down that she wasn’t showing up as the mother she wanted to be.

Then, in May 2017, tragedy struck the SAFD community when a firefighter lost his life in the line of duty, leaving behind a pregnant wife and two young children. The devastating loss shook Lindy to her core. It forced her to confront a painful reality—if she ever faced such a loss, she wasn’t physically in a place where she could be the strong, capable mom her children would need. At that moment, something shifted. She felt called to “Do It for the Deems”—to live fully, embrace every day, and take control of her health.

After deep research, she jumped into keto in July 2017 and never looked back. Since then, she has lost over 100 lbs, built significant lean muscle through resistance training, and completely transformed her health. Her motto is simple but powerful: "Take it one choice at a time."

Lindy is passionate about helping others break free from frustration and confusion around health. She understands that there’s no one-size-fits-all approach—what works is different for everyone, and the key is experimenting, learning, and finding what truly fits each individual’s body and lifestyle. Now, as a member of Compass Wellness, she’s excited to help others navigate their way to optimal health, build sustainable habits, and feel empowered in their own journeys.

Lindy’s energy, warmth, and real-life experience make her an incredible guide for anyone looking to transform their health. She looks forward to helping others crack their own code and step into the best version of themselves!
