Testimonials

Don't take my word for it. Listen to what others have said about my nutrition practice:

From Sandra, a sports enthusiast:

"Your info was JUST what I was looking for. :-) I will tell you that as an educator, I'm pretty critical when looking to someone for information/"help". Not only did you give me just what I was looking for, you were a really good "teacher" as you shared the information. You're doing your job well. I, for one, appreciate it. thank you!"

From Victor, after a company weight loss program:

"I need to thank you for all of your help, guidance and support. Through your program, I've learned how to eat correctly - not just what to keep out or even put into my diet; but how to combine good, wholesome foods to make me feel satisfied and well, and ultimately lose weight and body fat that is harmful. I've been dieting for 29 of my 41 years, sometimes with great success. I'd lose 40 lbs, and eventually gain 45 back. I probably did a lot of damage to my metabolism, my body, and certainly to my self esteem. In a short time, we've done a lot to heal those things. Since working with you, my greatest revelation is that giving into cravings and "going off the diet" again and again was not a lack of will power. It was chemical. You've taught me how to limit my cravings, and helped me identify my sincere addiction to sugar and simple carbohydrates. You've taught me that by eating a balanced combination of food, along with taking supplements, drinking water, sleeping well and exercising, I can conquer this roadblock, focus less on losing pounds, and more on realizing the goal of a much happier, healthier and stronger person. Losing the pounds and body fat is an inevitable result of that goal, but not necessarily the goal itself. Goals…important! Again, thank you for the knowledge, insight and support!"

Read Rose's story, after a small group weight loss program:

"I can't thank you enough for all your support and guidance over the last 9 months. I thank God for bringing you into my life. Your program has changed my life drastically, not just in weight loss (which is great), but the overall improvement in my health.

I didn't always have a weight problem. With each pregnancy, I had gained a lot of weight. Nearly 80 lbs. with each child. In 2000, 2 years after having my daughter, I had lost the weight I had gained, and was down to 145 lbs, about 10 lbs higher than when I got pregnant. In 2002, 1 year after having my son, I had lost all the weight from the pregnancy and was at 145 lbs, which is the same weight I was before I got pregnant. Losing weight was never difficult, until some health problems and medical treatments arose.
It was December 2006 and was feeling awful. I had been struggling with many health issues since late 2003. I had joint pain in my shoulders and hips. It was difficult to lift things, and sometimes walking was an effort. My son was two years old, and each time I would pick him up, I would feel pain. By the end of 2003, it was a struggle to push a grocery cart with just a child in it. I was having reactions to perfumes, cosmetics, and household products. Opening dishwasher detergent one day, I could taste the smell! This is bizarre, but it was if I had taken a bite of the tablet. Pumping gasoline would make me ill. I was also having skin reactions. Certain foods would make my skin feel as though I had a sunburn. Some medications landed me in the hospital with adverse reactions. On top of this, I also had plantar fascitis in both feet. This was a result of a large weight gain with both pregnancies. This made exercise near impossible.

By December 2006, my weight had spiraled out of control. From 145 lbs up to my highest ever of 208 lbs. In 2003, I began treatments with cortisone shots to help with the joint pain. I had shots in my shoulders, hips, and feet. I was also treated with prednisone for the allergic reactions. With each shot, my weight began to climb. Nearly 10 lbs with each shot. I was having cravings that I couldn't control. My sugar was out of balance, it had tested high in some blood work. I was, of course, not making the right food choices. Funny, I would never crave celery. It was always something high in sugar and fat.

I eventually joined Weight Watchers so I could get control of my diet. I followed the program and lost roughly 5 lbs. I was still having cravings for anything with sugar. I was really struggling to stay within my allotted points. I was always hungry.

Then came December 2006, my back and neck were hurting. I couldn't turn my neck while driving without pain shooting to my tailbone. In November I had traveled for me job, I had taken a 5 hour flight, and didn't know how I would sit that long. I was miserable. When I got home after the trip, I drove into the garage and saw a flier on the floor. I picked it up and it was for Body Tech. I called and made an appointment the next day. This is the day that has changed my life!

Susan, I met you and thought how could you understand what I am going through. But, I was willing to give it a try. I was nervous about taking any supplements considering all the reactions I had previously.
I took your six week class, and it has been life changing! By day 3 of your program, my cravings had ended! I haven't had a soda in months, and soda was something I craved all the time. Your program was easy to follow. However, I didn't think I could give up the dairy, one of the foods you had recommended to give up for 3 weeks. Even so, I dropped 17 lbs over the 6 week class. I was so elated! I really had thought I would never be able to conquer the weight and cravings.

What was frightening for me was after 6 weeks, you told me I had all the information needed to continue on my own. On my own over the last 3 years, I wasn't too successful. How could I do this on my own? I did it week by week. Writing down my food choices, making good choices in the supermarket. But, checking in weekly with you by email or in person every month or so, helped me stay committed. You are so motivational!!
Week by week, my weight dropped. I am now down almost 60 lbs!!! 60 lbs!!!

Your program, a combination of the diet and vitamins to address my specific problems, has turned my life around. I have never felt better. What is so surprising to me is the results of the testing. I have a severe milk allergy. By removing the dairy from my diet, I do feel better. My weight dropped even further once I removed the milk products.

With your encouragement, I started yoga once a week. After several months, I joined a health club. With some personal training, I have added strength training. I am also now walking 3 miles several times per week. I could have never been this active at the weight I was.
Thank you both for helping me!
